Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 1)

Got 2 copies in my pulls, none on the rack though

Hoping my copy of We Live 5 is in my box…they are usually good about that.

Went to 2 comic shops today, no We Live 5 2nd prints to be found. Oddly enough there were plenty of both covers of Iron Fist HOTD 5.

99/100 times I copy recent sold listing with the key words I think are appropriate. I remove silly words and characters like “unread”, “Mint” :fire: L@@K , “Rare”, “Key” and “HTF” that make it sound like I don’t know what I’m talking about and no one puts in searches anyway. Instead I’ll add my grade estimate or another word that I think someone actually will search for.

This here KEY comic is UNREAD and it is extremely RARE. Buy my HTF book right now!

“The Newest Rant” is such a great title for a blog; however, I must say that Anthony’s “Benevolent Dictator” title is giving you a run for your money in the best appellation category. Keep up the great work on the blog.

After all the cheap copies of Avengers Academy #1 sold on eBay, I had a person make an offer of $50 for my Newsstand Edition. He made it a point to mention that they were selling for $25-40 and taking the books condition that’s what he was willing to pay. I responded with there weren’t any newsstand copies available or being sold. As well Directs were selling for $70 or so.

I block ANYONE who messages me telling what books are selling for. Those type of people will only screw you over in the end.

Just tell them to piss off there then save themselves $10-15 in the process :stuck_out_tongue:

I gave him that title after his birthday… Before that it was comicflipper and briefly another funny title that he didn’t even notice for like a week.

Like em or hate em., these Bad Idea books are worth the preorder. Whalesville #1 is doing very well.

Speaking of which, does anyone have a good, reliable source for the Bad Idea books outside of TFAW. I’ve gotten my issues thus far through them, but looking forward, I would really like to order a couple copies of “The Lot” and I can only get one via TFAW.

But then you’re breaking Bad Idea’s idea and rules… one per… :wink:

Honestly, I stopped using Midtown but after my last order, might consider using them again on some orders as I was impressed my order from a Monday of a book that came out on Wednesday arrived by Saturday.

Midtown and Third Eye would be the best bet.

I’m getting Bad Idea books from G-Mart, Midtown & TFAW. I’m sure there’s a ton of other places online as well.

Grabbed a bunch of these off ebay but cant seem to get a high grade book due to the hard black cover.

avengers academy 1 made the hot 20 list lol. flip side puts it on their spec list, key collector highlights it on his app then puts it on the hot list

and I’m not going to complain since I flipped a $3 bin book for $70. But it just goes to show you how the hype cycle goes in our modern market.

Just got 2 offers on my Secret Warriors 6 1:10 within 5 minutes of each other - then go to youtube to see Tales From The Flipside had it on their roundtable. You can’t underestimate the influence of the YouTube comic book community.

9.6 are going for good money also.
GL hope you get some 9.8s!

I said it some time back paying attention to what they say you will see the changes in the market. Not that they are right, but their (Youtubers,
KCC, GoCollect, etc) influence is the driving force behind most book spikes.
