Must Buy
Batman Fortnite Zero Point #3 – I kid you not, I already have buyers lined up for my pre-orders on these. People who bought 1 and 2 from me are messaging me about getting them copies. I have been raking it in with this series. Sales of up to $18 already on eBay.

New #1’s
Far Cry Rite Of Passage #1 – video game tie ins for popular series have been doing well lately. One to keep an eye on for sure.

Rangers Of The Divide #1 – New Dark Horse series. Lock, load, and take flight! Following the disappearance of the nations’ peace keepers, an elite Commander stumbles upon a team of bright-eyed cadets in need of leadership. The group prepares to venture out on their first mission into uncharted territories.

Legends Of The Dark Knight #1 – Classic 90’s Batman series comers back.

Wonder Girl #1 – Series focusing on Yara Flor.

Shang-Chi #1 – Soon to be movie star Shang Chi gets his own series

OBE Out Of Body Experience #1 – New Antarctic Series. In a dystopian near-future, nearly everybody can astral project, or OBE (Out-of-Body Experience), which has caused worldwide decimation. As civilization struggles to combat the addiction to OBEing, a haunted detective must work with a lonely social worker to catch an elusive killer who has learned how to hunt from the astral plane. This fantastical, philosophical, action-packed detective story explores how humanity faces extinction and yet refuses to bow down, while simultaneously evolving to thrive in a new society based between this world and the next.

Notable Reprints
Geiger #1 3rd Ptg – third print using an optical illusion for a gimmick cover, actually cool.

Radiant Black #1 3rd Ptg – Series goes back for a 3rd printing with connecting covers. Pretty cool. The 1:10 variant is doing nicely at $20. You can get the #1 first print 1:10 variant for $5 on TFAW its an $8 book on eBay.

Radiant Black #2 3rd Ptg – The other half of the connecting cover set. The 1:10 is selling for around $16

One and Done
Immortal Hulk Time Of Monsters – introduction fo the original Hulk and origin of the Green Door. Hulk fans must have this one

Apocalypse 5000 #1 (One Shot) – legendary indy comic collected and printed for the first time in over 30 years. Worth the grab.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Best Of Splinter – the previous issues in the series are doing pretty well, especially in sets. This could be a good grab and hold.

The Potential Upside
Chaos Breaker #1 – New comic from Vortex Comics, small press, Midtown sold out quickly and I can find nothing on the publisher or where to get these books. None on eBay at the moment. First to list could have a potentially huge upside.
Queen Of Skulls #1 – Same as above, another Vortex Comic release no where to be found.

Small Press Pick of the Week
Red Room #1 – Crazy new Ed Piskor book. Red Room is a cyberpunk, outlaw, splatterpunk masterpiece. Aided by the anonymous dark web and nearly untraceable crypto-currency, there has emerged a subculture of criminals who live-stream and patronize webcam murders for entertainment. Who are the murderers? Who are the victims? How do we stop it? The Variants are doing nicely on this one with the 1:12 selling for $20 plus and the selling for as high as $99 in the past couple of days. Could be hard to find.

Pick of the Week
Nottingham #3 – With issue #1 selling for $85 and issue #2 selling for$33, and, add in there is already a 2nd Print already solicited before the first print hits shelves, and couple with first print copies are selling for $40 in pre-sale this is one to grab.
