    2. Best storyline out there at the moment for me, and after reading #6 its still throwing up curve balls, love it

  2. Gotta say I love this site guys keep up the great work. I also have to say that there are some great comic stores out there and unfortunately there are some not so good ones as well. I would like to tip my hat to the many comic shops out there that still make me feel like a kid. If anyone on this site has any pull with DC please tell them to bring back Blue Devil——-maybe even get him to appear on the Arrow 🙂 Sorry guys I gotta try, im missin my big blue buddy lol

    1. I liked Devil. I didn’t even notice him missing until you mentioned it. Thanks for the kind words on the site. We keep growing and bringing in more great people.

  3. Instead of top 10, I occasionally look at broader top 100 to keep up to date on what comics to collect. First appearances of best selling characters.

    1. Diamond doesn’t initially release it. I go over it in a post once a month. But yes, the top 300 are actually worth looking over.

  4. Tho whoever sees this unknown comics has a really nice Stephanie Hans venomized #1 available as well as a c2e2 virgin variant of it that is only having 200 copies sold online worldwide.

    1. The advertising is deceptive it’s 200 copies for sale until after the convention then they will sell the rest that didn’t move at the convention. So it’s not a 200 print run.

      1. They did the same thing last year with the convention exclusive Venomverse #1 Gwenom said there was only 100 available after the convention the print run was revealed to be 1000 as more copies came up for sale on their website.

      2. Thank you for clearing that up. I had read somewhere that the store exclusives were around a 4k or 4.5k print run and that number was then divided up into trade dress,virgin,sketch, etc. I had never seen a 200 before. It’s a sweet cover regardless of where the numbers fall with it. I ordered the slabbed convention variant for my pc. I don’t think it’s as cool as the Xmen blue cover that she did recently but it’s on my top 2 for the Venomized #1 variants.
