Negan casting beginning soon?

1. The 2nd print with Negan on the cover would probably be a good one too because of a smaller print run.

   1. True very small print run. I have been picking up different covers of 100 out of dollar bins for a while to build a set cheap.

   2. never go for 2nd or beyond print unless it has
      –
      different cover + small print run + demanded extra attention.
      Sex Criminals #1 4th print, for example.

2. I grabbed 3 copies of the Negan 2nd print. I like that it’s just him and Lucile on the cover. Not to mention the smaller print run. I’m hoping this will be the issue to have.

   1. I’m not trying to rain on your party. But this issue has 17 covers. Like 8 1st print different cover first prints. 7 crazy variants. And a 2nd and 3rd print. I just do not think it is a good investment from so many other choices.

      1. I am not saying it is going to be a huge investment. I have been putting sets together out of dollar bins. But you could still see appreciated value in a heavily printed book.

3. I only have 1 of the regular Adlard wraparound, 1 of the Mcfarlane and 1 2nd print. I might have to see if I can get another 2nd print or more of the 1st print variants.

4. The 2nd print variant with just Negan already sells between $10-$15. I honestly think this one will be the cover most desire, at least with the TV fans who then pick up the comics when the characters are introduced.

   1. I agree with drew, this one will be the one to collect above all other 100’s regular covers. Best depiction of Negan and Lucie in their full glory.

   2. I like this idea and currently don’t have any second prints. Will be on the look out!

5. I forgot to mention I grabbed my three copies for 99 cents each at Hastings. Might be worth checking out if you live near a Hastings.

   1. I wish.

   2. I live by 3 hastings’ and they are all 3.99 for the ones they have. Unless they lowered it or they’re having a sale… When did you get them?

   3. Nearest Hastings to me would cost around a half a tank of gas, so definitely not worth it.
      I gobbled up all the ones I could find on eBay this morning that were in NM condition and $10 or less.. I hope my gambling pays off when Negan is introduced to the show. 😛

      1. As long as you are not gambling with money you cannot afford to spend.

      2. Never. I only touch money already set aside for my comic addiction. 🙂

6. It was earlier this year. They started a 25 cent box and also have a ton of back issues with red 99 cent stickers on them.

   1. You lucked out. I’ve never seen anything good like walking dead there for 99 cents. I’ll still probably get 2 more though

7. Uh, it’s “Mad Men”, not “madman”. You should very much consider proof reading.
   I could do this all day.
   I don’t rag on you to be a dick, but to help you improve your writing/site. I read it everyday, and enjoy most of the info posted.
   But you should try harder to be better.

   1. Well I appreciate it. I am not at the bleeding cool level of errors but I do write most of this stuff late at night. Post has been updates.

      1. Don’t worry Anthony, most know what your talking about! I only care about errors or proper grammar/spelling if it’s:
         A) For work cause your getting paid.
         B) It’s for school because your being graded to write formally.
         Anything else on the web is just casual conversations. If you can’t read or understand it, that’s one thing but if all you care about is minor errors, I think one should stay away from the interwebs! 😉

         1. Thanks Drew. I do not mind constructive criticism. I think that is where he was coming from. I do most of my posts for the next day at midnight or 1 AM. I do try to run this professionally as possible as I would love for it to evolve into something where I do get paid. However, and as a former high school English teacher, I do sometimes rush through as I have two kids to get bathed and off to bed, a wife, and still need sleep for my day time job as a social worker. I am either sacrificing sleep or grammar/spelling when I rush through. Cheers all the same and am just glad you guys read the site.

8. Do you think $45-$55 is worth it for a cgc 9.8 of issue 100 chromium? That seems kind of cheap to me but maybe theres a lot of them out there.

   1. That’s a good price considering it is $30 to get it slabbed and it sold new at retail for $8-$10.

   2. I think the fees of the book grading are at least $20 – 30 alone.

      1. I think he’ll show up sometime in season 5 or 6. Maybe the beginning of 6. I’ve heard stuff like this before, they’ll say one thing, then surprise you with something different. It will probably be sooner rather than later if they’re already thinking about casting him.

   3. I’m not usually the type to overspend on CGC graded opinions but my opinion tells me, save your money and pick up one that’s raw for about $15 that’s likely 9.6-9.8 condition. If these ever jump in value or demand, then perhaps get it graded yourself to flip for profit. A quick scan seems to find plenty available in raw ungraded but NM+ condition.

      1. Agreed, buy raw.

9. Whoa, Negan might be a little far down the road: http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/the_walking_dead_season_5_first_half_is_written_finale_is_nailed_down-2014-04
   I would keep your eyes peeled for good deals though, but there is no urgency to rush into buying tons of issues right now. I have a pretty complete run (expert for the really expensive ones). I personally think the previews SDCC b&w sketch cover would be a good one to spec on. I tried to get the escape variant when it came out, but missed out a few times and now they are pretty rare and expensive.

   1. As always, I recommend using discretion and not running out and buying everything. This idea have a huge print run but there still could be money to beade

10. Oops, put my comment in the wrong place

11. Yeah, Negan won’t be in Season 5, there’s just too much other story to tell for now. If they’re only around the time of “Fear The Hunters”, that puts the show at around #60. We still have 40 something comics before Negan comes around. 🙂
    And yes, don’t go buying up everything just yet. I already have a bunch of the 100s but recently focused on the 2nd print Negan variant (I think I’ve accumulated around 6-7 total so far) to potentially flip when the time is right.

    1. Yup, lots of story still left. Let’s not rush to 100!

       1. Also, if the show is based from the comic, then you really can’t have the show surpass the comic.. we don’t need the comic to portray the show at any time.. 😉
          I like the twists on the show, it’s not exactly like the comic but that’s one of the reasons I watch the show. If they stuck exactly with the comic, I wouldn’t need to watch the show then..

          1. True. It is loosely based off the comic. Time frames do not work the same in the book as in the comic. One thing they have done is stretch out a series of events which took one issue over the course of a season but have also pushed up other things quicker than in the comic. Wait for the spin off too. Can’t wait to see if there is any connection with characters from the comic.

12. Here’s another Negan idea: 97-102 2nd prints with the 100 3rd print makes a cool connecting cover!

    1. I am a died in the wool Walking Dead collector and trying to get every cover. I have issue one but there are two different versions, a white text variant and a black text variant. Not going to be able to get the other version (I have white text version) but have been picking up the reprints cheap for an almost complete set. Never will fully complete it though.

       1. One day I’ll actually own a #1.. probably wait until after the show ends and the demand dies down some to buy it at a more reasonable price. I do have most if not all of the other key issues though, just need some of the earlier more common ones as well but those can wait as well.

13. Sweet! Just bought a chromium and quietly #100’s for $10.
