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

I haven’t been to my LCS in three weeks due to the holidays. I went today and they still have 30+ Absolute Batman 15 Cover A’s on the rack. They had a few Absolute Wonder Woman 15 Cover A there but no EOM cover. I know I’m a week late going so I didn’t expect to find it but it was my chance to finally get back there. They must have had the EOM cover because there was space for it next to the other covers that were still there.

After months of looking finally found some. No Supergirls there.

Batman 635 one of my all time favorites. Cool they reprinted that.

I have never seen those in a Dollar Tree. I don’t even see the comics in Sheetz anymore, that did not last long.

Seems as though everyone is listing their copies now.

Sold mine for $40.

CHU Effect.

Walked into a shop today I’d never been to….asked where the Absolute section.

Owner pointed it out but immediately said “the only thing I don’t have any more of is Martian Manhunter…”

Which was pretty much what I was hoping to find.

I found 1,2,4,5,6 yesterday. All first prints. No #3

How were they priced?

Cover. It was funny because someone grabbed the remaining first prints and a third print number one after I went through them. Also got a 1:50 cover of 4 or 5 for $9

Went looking for these as well, stopping in about four local shops. Found everything but 1 and 3. No second prints for any issues, which I found odd because of all the recent printings found for the main Absolute titles.

Thank you to @Joe
You were right on with the Assorted Crisis thoughts.
Made a note and found a few today. Wouldn’t have even known to look without you mentioning it. I missed the memo if it was discussed prior.
The A cover #1 has some hefty prices and good sales.

Whoa. I had no idea that it was even above cover price. Looks like issue 1 is the only one moving above cover so far, but that’s encouraging. Sales at $60+.

Whoa. When did this happen?

Dirty D’s Pick-of-the-Week back on 2/16!

I did pre-order a copy. Need to add this to my list tomorrow as I go comic shop crawlin.

Oh shit. I have a #1. Grabbed when it came out. Will have to try and find more now.

Yeah, I bought it (and issue 2) to read…not willing to give it up until I read it. Figured I would grab the first issue and see how it was and never got around to it. I will now!

I just finished reading issues 6 and 7. Fantastic. The best two issues yet.

It’s very Ice Cream Man. But more themed around time disruption. The stories feel more developed. Good stuff! Now to find a cheap copy of 1a.

Found a copy of 1-3. CHU effect is on. Better get out there!

That’s amazing. Every LCS by me was sold out the first week, and I live in a populated metro area.

Props to Joe and D-Bone on the prognostication! I knew the title looked familiar.
