9 copies of cover A of ABM 22 at my LCS. That’s it.
But my LCS wouldn’t even know who Quintana is to know to order copies.
I had a really bad day at work and just couldn’t hit my one LCS on Wednesday. I went after work today and they had close to 50 copies of AB 22 cover A left and 7 of the Quintana cover. There was another cover there too but I’m too tired to look up who drew that one. I picked up a cover A and one Quintana. I was surprised to see the non A covers still there.

Brett Bean maybe.
Seems like a bunch of retailers are going to lose money on this Dungeon Crawler Carl reprint. There are 84 covers. Mostly exclusives.
But, according to League of Comic Geeks, this issue was the 69th most popular pull this week. Far from scientific, but it does directionally indicate popularity or lack thereof.

I love how Vault can’t help but destroy a good thing when they fall into it. 84 covers, $10 price tag, they can’t help but be the authors of their own destruction. I’m sticking with Cover A in this case, continue to hold out hope the regular series is done by another publisher, as I have to hold my nose to buy this series from these guys. Although, I like that low popularity may help value in the end.
Here’s what I really hate. This book was made into a webtoon, and the comic is the print version of that webtoon. Very anime feeling. That’s not the book at all. I don’t want a Manga version of DCC. I want the original book version. Less cartoony. More violent. The novels are hugely violent. It’s just Carl and Donut stomping on creatures and splattering blood all over.
The people buying these are not the people on League of Comic Geeks.

I only bought the blank variant and avoided the rest of the covers that come out tomorrow. New fans are joining the facebook group daily. More people are discovering the books. I’m not sure how many of the book fans are or will become fans of the comic. A comic book that became a show like Invincible drove the price of the comic up. But starting as a book then becoming a show / comic it’s hard to say if DCC comics will rise or fall flat.

The Denham (pink) variant seems to be holding out best of the FCBD issues.

It’s a pull list/back issue bin week for me, for sure.

I cleaned out my sub box last week, I was like 2 weeks behind. Then I hit a dollar sale twice, pulled some cool stuff including gold and silver aged books. I know the one store near me just got a new collection in and I will be hitting the boxes on Wednesday as opposed to new comics
I’ve gotten to the point I have too many comics and can’t manage them all anymore. Unless it’s recent Nightwing variants I’ve pretty much been turning my nose at anything speculative when going through back issue bins.
Soon (no specific date) I’ll be going through all my comics and pulling out all non-keys/failed spec I’ve accumulated over the years to bring to a local show and have a fire sale just to make a dent.

I plan on doing more in person sales. Also keep saying I am going to do Whatnot to blow stuff out again.

It’s a great cover and a tribute to a great film.

Imma have to watch that movie again. It’s been a while and I don’t remember much but I did remember it made me feel things.
