Glad my LCS filled my FOC order of x5 of Strange Academy #13 Arthur Adams Variant…
What happened there…??
I’ve been getting 5 copies of every non ratio cover for that book except for Death of Dr. Strange (Strange Academy)
#14 and #15 is going to be FUN!
BETTER GET THOSE on your FOC just in case if you haven’t yet…
Can you elaborate on #14 and #15, please ? I am still lost on why #13 is desired, except for the supposed rarity of the Adams cover. Ebay is not showing much movement on #13, WHEN I checked. Thanks !
Has the ship already sailed too far for issue #1? If I bought a slabbed 9.8 in the low $300 range, would there be any upside left? I hate paying big bucks for recent moderns, but some do shoot up to the $1k range.
Ship hasn’t sailed until after a live action movie or show debuts the characters…even then there’s always reboots.
I would say still plenty of upside…look at Young Avengers 1.
But it may be stagnant for a while until Marvel announces a cartoon or something…which could be years.
I hate the term “ship has sailed”
It depends on how much you’re willing to spend. Thats it.
The short answer is “Cleavage.”
The longer answer is that most thought it was a terrible cover for his work….at least I think it is….then during a slow week some decided it wasn’t so bad and now FOMO sets in and demand exceeds supply at the moment. I totally expect this to be a flavor of the week and fall into the $10-$15 range in a few weeks when the next flavor comes out.
It certainly does seem like on slower weeks at least one book is picked to be the “one” to get with demand…
I think that SA #13 character cover is awful… if you can make money off it, good for you though!
ship hasnt sailed, in fact i think the book prices holding steady as they have is a very good sign. the print run for the series has been holding steady as well. and thats with no incentives or store exclusives holding it up
You’d hate hanging out with me. I use weird phrases like, “The bee’s knees,” “Selling like hotcakes,” and more constantly.
No way David. You’re cool. 
IMO, the Power Girl atleast looks good (yes artwise 
), the Strange Academy 13 not ! But everyone has their own taste.
On the spec front, I see a few on Ebay now with a $15-$25 bid, but I suspect these prices will fall in a few weeks. There is no rarity here …
Art Adams is hit or miss with me… I prefer his full character drawings, rather than his closeups, but not this one.
Still not knocking anyones choice; buy what you like or how you like.
Art Adams could do no wrong in my eyes until I began to notice all his women have the same face. Most of his male characters do, too. I still enjoy a lot of Adams’ art, but this issue’s cover is nothing special to me.
My assumption for #13 for the ADAMS VARIANT is the PERVERT TRAIN…
LOL
#14 will be a NEW CHARACTER… well maybe 15… but I’m guessing #14
Bees knees will never NOT be cool. Keep on keeping on because I think you are the BEES KNEES!
What nonsense…
Strange Academy HC (#1-6) for $75?
What the fart…
$30 or $40 at the most but $75?
Rigid Cardboard has gotten expensive…
and its only the first 6 issues, you would think for a HC they would have used 10-12 issues
That’s why I’m all bent up about it…
Amazon will have this.
Barnes and Noble will have this.
Every bookstore will have this.
It’s not a direct market exclusive.
So the MSRP price is a bit over inflated when the discounts roll out.
I been buying x5 Strange Academy Non-Ratio variants since the beginning and today I slipped. I only had 4 of the Character Spotlight Variant on my FOC list so that’s what I got… If anyone out there has a comic shop that will slip me 2 more, let me know the price.
