Comic Book Speculation 
would you know the print runs for the black science #1 variants especially the image expo variant?
🙂

Image mandates that all variants have to be atleast 1,000 – since it was a free with ticket purchase to the Image Expo, I wouldn’t be surprised it if was in the area of 3,000.

thank you…would that print number fall in line with the other BS variants like Hastings, Midtown, Ghost…

In my experience with putting together variants, Image store (not through Diamond) Variants all have a print run of 1,000. Midtown for the most part follows the 1,000 print run for Image books, there is the occasional title where they order more, however with Ghost and forbidden Planet the print runs are always 1,000 when the publisher is Image.

got an email from Image Comics about the BS #1 Image Expo variant print run…750 copies… so technically would that make it the lowest print run from the other store variants which you mentioned would be at least a thousand copies each? 🙂

Wow thats surprising. Looks like the Image Expo Variant is the way to go!

Do you know how many copies there are of Hellboy, The Fury #3 Virgin cover? I heard only 150 but I can’t imagine Darkhorse would really print so few.

The variant for That series was an incentive variant so I’m not sure if a print run will ever be released but I wouldn’t be surprised if 150 was the print run. Recalled Comics (a site I recommend) has a nice write up about the book, http://www.recalledcomics.com/HellboyTheFury3Variant.php – but in short, Hellboy single issues don’t have a large fan following and don’t sell well in comic store when compared to other monthly series, so an incentive cover thats 1:20 where most retailers didn’t qualify isn’t surprising and would result in a low print collector item. Plus Since it was a mini-series most true fans were probably waiting for the TPB or HC which would also result in a lower print, especially on issue 2 and 3.

I’m trying spec out key characters from the Batman Beyond universe. You think its dumb or possible potential? Was thinking Blight vol 1 #3 and Inque vol 1 #6 What say you?
LikeLike
Its just a weird question lol.
I don’t think its a good idea. Batman Beyond #1 can still be found for way under $20 at most comic conventions. I was at C2E2 and found one for $4. That is the book you want to find! Even if you were to pay $150 or less for a CGC 9.8 copy of a Batman Beyond #1 it would triple in value before any other Batman Beyond oriented characters.
Plus the Futures end storyline is only projected to be in the future five years and than will some how bring Batman Beyond (Terry McGinnis) into the new 52. Its going to be weird, but any Batman Beyond sub-characters are only going to appear in maybe one or two books in the future.
So yeah – Buy Batman Beyond #1 – its just going to go up.

did u check out Enormous #1 by 214 ink extremely low print run about Giant Monsters among us…also Spread #1 by Image Third Eye Variant homage to Walking Dead #19

working on a post involving Enourmous now-
Spread #1 cover A is probably a good pick but store variants are usually good investments speculation-wise. Unless of course you’re buying them at cover. (than its a easy $10 flip)

Hi, I am wondering where the best place to sell my comic books is? I have tried posting a few of them on eBay, and I thought my prices were reasonably competitive … but it seems a lot of people lowball on there!? I live in a big city (Toronto, ON.) so there should be some places (either online or in person) since there are a lot of collectors here. Any suggestions might help … Thanks!
