thought about putting it in the DU section!
yeh pretty cool.

I think at the shows, all this stock will be sold off cheap ~ if their is any to sell.

Some people may dump their Dark Horse Dark key collection on ebay ~ like what I just got.

I couldn't believe the Preacher #1. I was flipping thru the P's and the Preacher issues had the typical 30s, 40s, 50s you would find in the $1 bins. Then all of a sudden there was a 6 followed shortly by a 1. And it's in NM- condition too.

They had DH Magnus 1 & 2 but there were some heavy spine creases so I passed on those.

Nice find!

Preacher 1 is one of few awesome moderns.

The Morning Glories, you can sell for $50. I'd hang on to the TWD 33 for a bit. I think it's going to be a hot one in a few years.

The Morning Glories is NM- at best - it has a few minor spine creases and light cover scratches. I just found out the TWD 33 is a 1/2" tear on the back cover. I'm keeping the TWDs as those are my first copies of those issues. Yup, TWD will be hot for a while with the TV series.

I did really well with FCBD. I picked up the two free books I wanted, GL and Adam west, and bought about 20 lbs of VF-NM comics—that’s over 150 books.

Valiant highlights include:
Harbinger 2, 3, 5 (all with cupons)
Magnus 2, 5, 6 (all with coupons)
Two copies of Solar 23 signed by Joe Quesada
Rai 0
Bloodshot: Last Stand
Eternal Warrior Fist and Steel 1
GOAT: HAEDUS
Man of the Atom
Revelations
Solar Hell on Earth 1, 4
And over 100 commons and later issues—I need less than 5 books for some titles now!

Other highlights include:
Batman Cult 1-4
Sword of Azreal 1, 2, and TPB
Assorted independents such as Grim Jack, and Starslayer (PC)
