Yowsa, that's a lot of $$$ for a Defiant book. I won a Mile High BIN auction last year for 4 bucks for this book and they sent me one of those lame "sorry we don't have it" emails. I think I see why they conveniently backed out of the deal now.

no gloves, no Shooter, but it is described as NM+

I don't think the price is outrageous, I've seen it go for more. That makes me all the more happy I got mine for $5 out of a comic shop bin.

The early Ultraverse stuff is good (the later stuff simply sucks) but it's not as great as Defiant and Broadway.

I agree with cyberstrike. Worse thing about ultraverse was when marvel touched it. That flaming pumpkin headed villian had such potential and then godwheel and infinity. UGGH!!!

Sorry, man, you were probably too focused on snagging VALIANT books.

eh, I think that the book went for $20 more than it should have (IMO). I picked up mine for $12 which is a nice price but I think that this book should be around $30-$35 unless it is one of those 'last book I need for my collection and don't mind paying extra for it' kind of things.

Having the gloves and the whole 9 yards would be a GREAT find. Last set like that I saw on Ebay went for slightly over $100.

Sure does and it's not the first time they've pulled a stunt like that on me either.
