Yes, I think it was over 400 or so of misc issues around Virus and Codex firstsā€¦

Who is that? I got about a dozen copies of #25 at cover price.

Yikes!! Makes me not feel as bad with my 3-4 copies. Glad I sold some of the store variants before the reveal and recouped my buy in money and kept the extras.

My Venom #25 I sold the next day after they arrived back in the summer. I think I bought like 2 or 3 copies total. Iā€™m satisfied with my profits thenā€¦

Youā€™re more than an order of magnitude behind this person in number of copies!

I learned my lesson with buying variants with all the Venom hype. I am glad that I did get rid of most of them making a quick flip and then selling some off to get my money back. I did keep some of the regular trades.

I still love my Iron Lion variant.

I still have a 2nd print and each Walmart variantā€¦

Even still have that purple ā€œwednesdayā€
Variantā€ as well (remember that debacle?).

but I dumped most of those as well.

Venom was one of the first comics I started flipping when I got into this whole craziness back in Marchā€¦ I flipped a lot of them, but still have the 25-31 issues that i orderedā€¦trying to package them together to sell full runs of the series or something to get out with minimal lossā€¦

There could be something that happens with the King In Black or hinted to happen afterwards that might save the Venom comics. I will re-list my remaining variants soon to get rid of most of them. These days the most I spec are about 10 issues of something.

I am done with most store exclusives. But if you are a fan here is a nice cover.

Who is the character in the middle?

His name is Maru. He first appeared in Issue #1.

Was curious if it was a new character. First cover but certainly not first appearance. Thanks!

I guess we will see or learn more about each issue in the post.

Yoda sells.

Iā€™m doing great overall with Virus and Codex. Sales have certainly slowed recently, but I recovered my initial investment before they did and I have a ton left that is fully paid for. Iā€™m not a flipper. I donā€™t spend money that I canā€™t afford to be patient with. Iā€™m very confident that Virus and Codex will heat up again, the only question to me is when.

I ended up getting 1600 copies of High Republic, so Iā€™m having some fun knowing that I own about 1% of the print run.

Wowā€¦1,600 copies??? Congrats on that! Has anybody else bought in bulk? I thought I was sitting pretty with 3 copies of cover A, 2 of Hans, 3 of 1:10, and 1 of Cover B.

Virus is pretty much one and done I think. Codex is dead as we shift focus back to our own Universe with Knull along with Eddie and Dylanā€¦ Good luck I suppose. :wink:
