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

Also of note… it’s cool as these cereal covers (the cereal) are actually a part of the story, featured. So it isn’t just covers without context.
Also realizing they are a play on the original General Mills spooky cereals as we’ve discussed.

Hyde Street is sooo good.

It’s really good. All of this Ghost Machine stuff is solid.

Thanks for the reminder. I found a couple 113s in a dollar box while picking up my pulls. A few Putri Batman covers, too.

I apologize that I wasn’t specific

I meant for the Monsters #5 w/ card issue. All I had to do was look at the back cover and it states that there were 15,550 copies which equals 3,875 per card (if there were more/less or a specific card produced - I don’t think that would be the case)

Good to know that only 3,875 sets can be put together (very loosely stated obviously)

Really like Hyde Street.

The Storm Shadow GI Joe Negative space variant 1:10 is doing well
Felt like a no brainer at FOC (like the Scarlett one).
You may be able to grab one cheap at your shops still.

For those who know useless but fun trivia, what was the first negative space cover to really make the trend become a big thing? I’m curious.

I feel like it would be Witchblade #161 as guess. It’s sort of the one that first drew my attention anyway.
Likely something far earlier I’m not remembering though.

By the way…thank you as you were (as I recall) responsible for making me aware of this.
I’m keeping it as Timm is among my very favorites but still…

Heating up is putting it mildly lol…

That’s awesome. Was that a Timm store exclusive?

Never mind I see it was a con exclusive

@Anthony They must not have sold much at the con though, or (I think) they split the run between the con & their site.
I bought it right from their site.

I was initially worried about the media mail shipping, but it was actually the safest, best packaging on a single comic I’ve ever received.

If you attended the new Superman/AMC IMAX Fan Event today, they were giving Free copies of the All Star Superman #1 reprint with a reprinted cover by Dan Mora which is really the Dan Mora variant cover from Krypto #1. I see sales around $25 on ebay. I was able to get 2 copies from customer service. The new movie was solid/good. Enjoyed the new take on Supes by Gunn.

Spectre 54 has really spiked lately. It’s up to $125+, and might be a book that still has room to grow with Mr. Terrific getting a lot of love (and future screen time).

I flipped my copy that I bought for $11 for a healthy profit.
