Just pretend v2 never happened. Volume 1 is still so good. $15 + shipping is fantastic for that run if for nothing else but to re-read.
I did some freelance promotions stuff for an exclusive seller at the time before he ghosted. He did some really fun covers for the first vol. I still have a few of issue 3 and 4 if anyone wants to trade for something.
$4.99 wasn’t the offer price accepted though. That was the starting price of the auction with a best offer option, so who knows what the final price was.
My LCS still has a stack of the variant cover with the claw hand. I was out of town on vacation and missed the cover A. But if I had it in my pull box, I would have missed the higher sales price anyways by the time I got back (only a week later, lol) so on to the next one for me. If spec starts dropping one week later in price like this book, that kind of tells you about its future.
