Retailers who order at least one 25-count bundle of Batman #159 ashcans qualify to order the Batman #158 Launch Party Glow-in-the-Dark variant cover. It reveals glowing bats in the dark.

love me a glow cover

1 Like

I love almost all cover gimmicks except glowing in the dark. It’s just annoying to me that I have to shine some light on my comic then take it to a dark space to enjoy the gimmick as opposed to any other gimmick that you can see/feel right away

They should do that for a whole comic…just sit in the dark with a black light and read it the story.

Has anyone publisher ever offered such a gimmick?

I think we can all agree that scratch and sniff’s are … without question… the worst.
Does anyone… and mean anyone actually want one for collectability purposes? I shudder to think if there is.

Radiant Black is such a great series and doing some cool stuff. Secondary market hasn’t taken notice, but it’s worth a read.

Pure cover buy? Or based on a new character?

I think the only thing that has hurt Radiant Black is the stop and start (taking that 6 month break, then there were a few breaks in-between) they have done over the course of the last year. Then when they did the two issues a month also did hurt the book a bit as there were a lot of complaints across many of the fan boards. Since Kyle had gotten surgery that delayed things, they should have not done the 2 books a month and just release one a month spreading those out.

Cover buy

Kinda feels like cover buys are becoming the new spec game. Marvel has probably ruined new first appearances since they have 3 in every issue. I’ve been selling more and more books that just have a great cover lately.

gotta say i do enjoy buying covers. Tough to tell if it’s digital but try to go w/ traditional if I can help it.

And the solicitation for All New Venom #6
THE ORIGIN OF THE ALL-NEW VENOM! Now we know WHO the All-New Venom is…the question is HOW? What happened after the events of the Venom War? Why did the symbiote choose this host - and why can’t they separate? Jackpot confronts Venom - and she may not like what she finds out!

Yikes that’s some weak foreshadowing on their part. ya’ll better prepare for Paul

This will not be cool if its Paul. Might be the first Venom run that I drop if it is this clown.

Didn’t feel like this quite merited ā€œWorst Coversā€ or ā€œModern Comics Heating Upā€. I usually follow and pickup all of Artgerm’s Spidey and/or ASM stuff but this one seems low effort or just very basic for his style. It’s usually hard to not knock it out of the parkl with Black Cat, but I’ve seen rookie artists come up with more interesting art or poses for her. overall, a very B- grade. Not horrible, but not stand out.
