Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 2)

Nice nice.

Midtown has them with a limit of one currently.
A frustration for me (unless I just goofed) was that I never saw them ever on TFAW.
I did order FOC with my shop and they came in, but I would have grabbed a few more with TFAW.

Midtown is now sold out.

I don’t think they offered them. I only found a couple shops at FOC that did.

TFAW has become very light with their weekly issues and not offering everything on pre-order.

I dont recommend later printings

but if I did


Id recommend the ratios

If you can get them cheap enough. Most places want an arm and a leg cause they can’t move the open order covers. They have to get really hot to be profitable

New Pop Kill cover by Will Jack. Super cheesecake, but if the adam hughes cover with boobs did well, so should this one.

What, she worry?

Hit up all the comics stores in my area and no one had Geiger #10 (2nd print). Other than that, pretty quiet week in terms of spec.

Was able to get a Dark Horse Annual 1998 (1st Buffy in comics) for $28.

Yeah, my LCS had no Geiger 2nd prints. Luckily I ordered some online before FOC anticipating my LCS to fail. I hope this one becomes a good flip.

As expected none of my shops in my neck of the woods had a copy of the 2nd print of Geiger 10, and why would they? They really have to be on the up and up on all their titles for new characters and possible specs. Sometimes the publisher will alert the stores for 1st appearances for them to order extra copies, I’m not sure the indie publishers do that. Even though my LCS sells quite a bit of the Geiger and Ghost Machine series (I see them order a lot of issues for the shelf), I still think it’s a stretch for them to order a copy of the 2nd print of issue 10 unless a customer alerts them by pre-ordering extra copies. Just not something that shops in my area would do for an issue 10 of an Image title unless it’s something like Transformers or GI Joe.

I have read issue 11 and it looks like she will be a very important character in the Geiger universe and will be heavily featured in the next few issues. Will she be as popular as Junkyard Joe? who knows but so far I see similarities in that this issue will be under ordered by shops. Big shoutout to @Devildog for this great spec pick. I would’ve missed this for sure for the 2nd print cover, heck a lot of my online shops didn’t even have it up for order during foc.

I think this has legs, somewhat low print and you’ll have to be paying attention to have pre-ordered this. I wish I had ordered a few more. I think this has great potential. I don’t usually do this but I believe this is a hold for now. Cheap copies are disappearing and it looks like it’s at 3x cover. I’m not flipping it for that price, this is a good candidate for a hold imo.

Was able to find 2

They probably still have the 1st print. I was able to score a bunch at different places online. Lcs are hardly even worth going to, especially when they jack up the price right away. Awareness is easy to acquire these days cause someone else is doing the work for them
