Indy's Comic Picks for 10.17.2018
 

[B]The Source #1[/B] - This comic is sold out at the distributor, so your best chance to snag a copy or two is tomorrow. From Scout comics so stores may not have many copies. Worthy of snagging and sticking away.

[B]Venom Annual #1 [/B]- The very first Venom annual and surprises have been promised, worth checking out.

[B]Batman #57 Mattina variant [/B]- Pretty cool variant cover, will be in demand, if interested, snag tomorrow or expect to pay a little bit more days later.
[B]
Walking Dead Blind Bags #1, #19, #100 [/B]- All three are sold out just about everywhere, so if your store has them, snag 'em.. [URL="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NToAAOSwb3hbwME2/s-l1600.jpg"]Hidden gems can be uncovered that will bring you $150+ in these.[/URL]

.. my lcs didnt carry the source. you think this is worth it at around $15 on eBay? the preview on the storyline is quite interesting.

Venom annual 1 Sienkiewicz Variant

[IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/7P25zVC9/Venom-annual-1-Sienkiewicz-Variant.jpg[/IMG]

was able to snatch 2 copies of the Source #1 glow in the dark, apparently the other 2 covers were not ordered as much, so I was told.

Happy I got the Venom Annual variant, such a great cover. Also grabbed the last six WD issue 19 blind bags which yielded two colour, two colour virgin, one black and white and a black and white virgin.

Blind bags are extremely popular more then I thought they would be as I only bought some campbells should
Be fun to open because I bought months ago cheap.
Locally either they didnt order many or they were just bought quick they aren't many left.

Found eight last night at my LCS, grabbed three 100s, three 19s, and 2 1s.

Notables: virgin color 19, B/W 19, B/W 100, Virgin color 1

You killed it! I'm still waiting on mine to arrive.

I got a pretty nice stack of the #19, only a few had some issues that would need pressing. I bet you'll get a bunch of 9.8's, Indy!

I hope so, they should be in today or tomorrow. Polybagged books scare me, but Elvis will help :)

I'm still waiting on mine. I ordered 25 of #1 & 25 of #100. So far I've sold like 14 sets. Debating if I'll keep any. I learned my lesson by at least keeping 1 or 2 copies. Sold all of my copies of Ice Cream Man #1 when it came out.

Regarding the 15th anniversary blind bags, are there any particular issues to pay attention too? I must admit after the 25th anniversary blind bags with their production problems/printer damages to certain books and Image doing nothing about it, and the fact that the collation seemed a bit off I stayed away from these recent Walking Dead blind bags. I did pick up a #1 the other day at a store as I had some credit to use up and I got the B/W Finch cover, but just curious if there are certain issues that are the ones to get? I must admit I enjoy opening up stuff like this....

I believe they are worth it, especially if you can get them at Cover Price.

Any other issues besides #19 to watch out for? A local store has some blind bag at cover price but unsure which issue #'s.

#100 Negan Speech bubble is pulling in some serious cash right now

Thanks I will keep an eye out for #19 and #100 if they have any of those.

I'm DEFINITELY hoping you not only get some good ones, but a few are RARE pulls :D

I failed to ask in an earlier post but did they do any random one-of-a-kind original art sketches like they did with the 25th Anniversary Image blind bags?

My LCS had a bunch of blind bags still out. Picked up a #1 and it was a color virgin copy. Looks pretty cool.

I saw that. Signed copies only though.

Did really well with the WD blind bags, buying 8 and getting 5 variants:
7 - B/W virgin
19- B/W
48 - color virgin
92 - B/W virgin - I really like this cover; very provacative with halo'ed Jesus pulling the handgun out of his shining self
127 - color virgin

My LCS still has a lot of these and I'm debating going back for more.
