5 copies of thumb is all ive ordered, black cat and walking dead aren’t spec worthy. thumb seems like one of those books written for the sole purpose of being optioned. and wasnt hype or discussed pre foc so print run should be on lower end of image 1s

Long term Walking Dead isn’t spec worthy but I do have a feeling when people see the spoilers, there will be a jump in hype price. So go easy but buy low, sell high and early. Won’t put your kids through college but all I can say is, after this next issue… it’s definitely gonna lose all spec going forward.

Oh, btw the Deadpool Marvels 25th anniv variant is very sweet. But not grabbing it.

#7

Yeah, that’s my only Marvel pick for the week too… pretty sad week for Marvel books when the only thing likely worthy in picking up is a themed variant that has nothing to do with the titled book.

Pearl 8B is such a gorgeous cover. Still looking for one too.

#9

No luck with Pearl issues at the lcs, but got notification my 8B is shipping from NY Collector Cave…the only place online i was able to track down a copy…not counting a seller in Canada.
