Not really a story here. I wanted to see what everyone’s experience has been with buying the 3d DC covers. I have been getting mine from one store at cover and have gotten and subsequently sold the books. Have you seen price gouging? Don’t be afraid to name names. Have you seem sell outs. Have you been lucky and gotten them? Just curious what everyone’s experience has been.
Here is a list of DC Comics Villain Month 3d variants still available. These are not lasting long and are selling for a premium Wednesday when they are released. They have been going up in price with each passing week. (Not saying they will stay up but these are excellent flipping material)

Books to keep in mind while you are out shopping this Wednesday, they are sold out at the distributor level.

The Diamond Comics Advanced reorder list is one of those tools that Speculators can use to figure out what is going to be hot. The books are all ones that retailers have gone back to up their orders on. This could be for several different reasons; the previous issue sold better than expected, customer’s are coming in asking about the book, a new number 1, or message board and web site chatter. This weeks does not feature any villain month books! This is great because that is all that has been featured for the past 6 weeks.
Here is this week’s advanced reorder list:
1. Star Wars: The Lucas Draft #2- The first issue sold really well and fans are clamoring for Lucas’ original vision.
2. All New X-Men #17– Really the best X-Men book on the stands.
3. All New X-Men Special #1– See above
4. Catwoman #23 2nd print– No surprise as the appearance of Jokers Daughter has caused the book to sell out the say before it came out.
5. Hinterkind #1– New Vertigo Series. Vertigo has seen a rebirth over the past two months putting out Image quality books (used to be Image was putting out Vertigo quality.)
6. Walking Dead #1 10th Anniversary Edition– Buy Walking Dead #1 for $5.99 (in Color.)
7. Nova #9– Infinity Cross over. Great Marvel book that hasn’t taken off yet, and I do not know why.
8. Forever Evil #2– The story that started Villain’s month and the villains found out Nightwing’s identity.
9. Walking Dead #115 Midnight Release Party Variant– Special edition book for those stores doing an early release. This will be huge as will the actual #115 variants.
10. Marvel Knights Spiderman #1- Let the oversaturation of Spiderman books continue.
11. Captain America Living Legend #1– This is a re-solicit.
12. Witching Hour #1- Yeah Horror comics! nine new supernatural tales by a coven of the best writers and artists VERTIGO could cram into 70 pages.
13. Mighty Avengers #2– Infinity tie in
14. Fantomex Max #1– Mysterious X-Man in his own book. This could be hot.
15. Batman #24– Mega $6.99 book continues Year Zero
16. Mocking Dead #1 2nd Printing– New cover for the sold out book.
18. Thor Vs Thanos TPB- all things Thanos are hot.
19. Uncanny X-Men Premier Hardcover Vol. 2
20. Marvel Universe Avengers Assemble #1- All ages
21. Infinity Hunt #1– Infinity Tie in
22. Superman Wonder Woman #1

We have talked a lot about Kickstarter projects being the breeding ground for hot new comics. We have seen ‘The Outliers’, ‘Watson and Holmes’, ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, ‘Voice in the Dark’, and others take off and become darlings of the secondary market. Some of these have ended up getting major distribution, and the Kickstarter variants being the ones really sought after. One book that is on my radar, ‘Suicide 5’, is being funded now, and for $20 you get the hard cover version. This one is on my radar because it is delightfully twisted in the content of the book.

Well we all know these were going to sell. We just didn’t know how many or how much. I sold through my first weeks covers (held my breath a little) but ended up doubling my money on them (even after ebay fees.) At first it looked sketch but it worked out.
Here is what this weeks 3d covers are going for.
Seems there are a couple of books out today already going for two times cover or more. Continue reading “Wednesday books selling above cover for 9/11/13”
