I have no idea what this book is about

Wow. Sounds like a pretty cool book.

This would make an even better VFVSS project than Warriors of Plasm #1

This issue is at least a $30 book

Does sound like a really cool book though. Maybe I'll just have to get my hands on one and get it signed by a few people...

I'm not at all saying I got a good deal and not saying it reflects the normal the market value but I paid $49 a couple days ago on ebay.

If its a book you really like, it doesn't come up all that often, why not pay $10 or $20 more for it. "Market value" for infrequently traded comics can be overrated imho

It's kind of like the crown jewel for me regarding Defiant.

Yeah but I'd doubt you'd find people willing to come off of 35-40 NM copies of this issue. WOP is basically quarter bin stuff right? This issue is at least a $30 book and I overpaid because I rarely see it come up. They did pull Harbinger#1 off -but there are really tons of copies of those around as well in decent (if not ultra high) grade.

This is a $30 book!?!?!?

At Super-Con a couple weeks ago I passed up a couple of these in a dollar bin because I figured I would find them again really easily.

EDIT: After looking at the Defiant issue list, it might have been Origin of the Defiant Universe I saw in the dollar bins.

aaarrrrghhh!! Where would I go about getting one of these. I am so incredibly reluctant to do this, I disgust myself for asking. I used to have a couple DU books but then a freind of mine wanted me to find some WOP for him and I bought some off someone here for like $3 for him and then Chiclo sends me a bunch of Defiant and Malibu so I might as well jump in.

The fanboys at the LCS are gonna think that I have gone off the deep end, now. First I buy all of their Acclaim, now this.

Thanks again Chiclo for giving me the "DU Rash", could've at least sent me some salve for it.

I have said it in other threads, I'll never join the legion of those that collect other dead universes, but I find collecting the Defiant Universe kind of an extension of collecting the Valiant Universe (I think Chiclo said something similar). I kinda feel like it makes more sense to collect DU than VH2. That's just me though.

Keep going for these dead universe books. Do not complete your Valiant set.

Ahh. but I am heading out of town this week to virgin hunting grounds at least as far as I can tell, I don't think Chiclo or Ricomortis has hit it up. I will be in Abilene, when I was young there were three comic book stores, when I left there was one, I will be back there for a month and there are three again. One more thing Doc, unlimited overtime for three weeks. So don't make that silver dress for your girlfriend with those Mags #25 just yet. I will return with a vengeance.

There is no salve; only more cowbell.

Wait until you see my list of Ultraverse comics I have for trade.

I will own your soul.

The good thing is that I have two Ultra 5000's obtained from your LCS. The bad news is that there might not be any more.

Edit - now that I think about it, that took hold pretty fast.

Just lovely.

It says that (or the paper accompanying it does) that Jim Shooter has the 1/1000 copy - I wonder if he still does.

It also says (at the time) it was a candidate for the world's most expensive comic ever made at $18.25 a piece production cost

I thought that was Mircale on Braodway . . .
