My LCS is selling a preorder of the premium variants (all 6) for 29.99. I’m tempted but no nothing about the game and if something like this has value. Would people on here jump on that deal?

Traditionally Batman and Spider-man fight for the #1 spot in comic sales each month, they both are at the top, consistently multiple titles in the top 10 month to month. Add on top of that the surprise hit videogame Fortnite and this thing could be pure fire.

Releases on 4/21/21

Has three covers. Base, Variant, and Premium Variant

$29 for all six premium variants is a great deal! If it does take off, you'd be locked in at a great price and primed to make a few $$'s should you decide to sell.

We Live Just Showed DC and Marvel The Best Way To Introduce a New Hero

In We Live #5 by Aftershock Comics, readers learned that the first five issues were actually an epic prologue to a new age of heroes: Palladions.

Not a comic book but could have legs. Frozen Hell first edition available. Joseph Campbell’s extended version of Who Goes There recently uncovered. Original book was for remorse for thing from another world and my personal favorite The Thing by John Carpenter. A remake is in the works that will base itself completely on the newly found Frozen Hell book. Available at the publisher out of Bethesda Md. mine came signed with a bookmark.

Yes, I picked up the first issue on a lark and really enjoyed the world building. I purchased the rest as they were released and thought the reveal was well done. That said, the reveal was not necessary to enjoy the story. That's props to the pacing, world building, and character development.

Yes, and I absolutely love it. Great storytelling, great art. One of the best debut books of the last few months IMHO. These guys are very talented.

In sad news, CGC announces why they're so delayed. - What sucks is this period (Jan-April) is traditionally the fastest turnaround time, but not anymore. Thinks are taking much longer for comics, much like every other grading service like BGS and PSA. Doesn't help that CGC decided to also tackle card grading, I'm sure that has a lot to do with the delay, along with taking over creator signings like Todd McFarlane, etc.. They've really spread themselves thin and it's effecting those of us who rely on them for normal grading times.

Black Panther #50 volume 2 1st Kevin Cole as White Tiger. If the rumors end up being true this book could blow up. In the book white tiger takes black panthers power and in theory becomes black panther. This would be a way to make sense of Chadwicks passing. Very low cgc pop

that's gonna be tricky if they want to introduce him in this movie and maybe taking the mantle in the 3rd film? it'll be interesting if it goes that way. the popular choice is shuri, but i wouldnt mind m'baku being black panther.

Batman #107 has a new character introduced, might be worth picking up a copy or two to stick away.

There's a new character in Batman about every 2 issues now.

Seems to be the trend lately I agree.

Canto is being developed into a feature animated movie by Jada Pinkett & Will Smith. #1 first prints going for a lot and the 2nd/3rd prints are heating up. Any of the ratio variants from volume 1 seem scarce, too.

not sure how limited the new siktc #1 variant will be, but I thought this was interesting! this insert is found only in the foil variant of brzrkr #1.

The free SIKTC #1 could very well be the foil cover variant that was part of the Local Comic Shop Day 2020 late last year, perhaps Boom overprinted it big time but it will be curious if it's an entirely new variant, which would technically be the 8th printing of #1.

Wow!
From the preview, the super-heroes looked kinda bland to me, but if the story/art is solid, I can overcome that.

Brzrkr was just picked up for a movie and animated series and this post was from Victor.He did a exclusive variant and it’s also his very first comic book cover.I’m so happy for him and what away to start of his comic book career.I was one of the lucky ones that pre order a Cgc yellow label with a remarked 1/25.

You Promised me Darkness looks like a pretty decent spec. I picked up one of the metal /50 variants from comic elite as well as the nude variant which looks like it’s selling out in a few places. Comes out mid April

It's a 4 issue Mini series that's already sold 30,000 copies according to this article. I find this a bit high for an indie comic, but if written well and captures the public, it won't matter. I don't know much about the subject matter in this book, but if you're interested you can order direct from the publisher.

What scares me about this one is that if they're like Scout comics, they print to order as comic orders come in and never turn off that press after initial release which could devalue the book in the future.
