I agree. Archer 0 gold. What would be 2nd? VEI Archer 1 Gold?

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Certainly VH1 A&A Gold is the top choice - it has always been a solid book and I grab one anytime they go for under $25 (which never happens anymore)
For VEI I think the Gold 1 would be the top price wise but it is pretty limited - the Neal Adams 1:100 might pick up some steam as well and while not a ton out there, more would be available to keep the demand and movement high

Somewhere someone suggested Mark Addy (probably best known as Robert Baratheon on Game of Thrones). He would be perfect I think.IMJ wrote:God, what if they cast Jack Black or Seth Rogan as Armstrong?

I say Sammo Hung for Armstrong and Tony Jaa for Archer. Just put them in white face and marvel as every other film in the universe is made obsolete.

Very astute observation. I had two copies of VEI's A&A 1 first print listed at the full cover of 3.99, and both sold yesterday. I noticed mycomicshop sold all five copies listed in vf at 2.69 ea yesterday.

I saw one of our board members sold a VEI A&A 1 first print in CGC 9.8 yesterday for 45.00.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
I think A&A 0 and #1 could easily hit $10 if more people start jumping on. Not unreasonable for a first-appearance with not that high of a print run (110k I think?).betterthanezra wrote:After the announcement I had a pack of 5 A&A #0 sell almost instant for $24.99 after they sat in my eBay store for nearly a year...StarBrand wrote:Trenton Sy wrote:When Bleeding Cool writes the article about the newly leaked A&A movie I expect there to be some movement on the VEI #1, plenty of variants that are already trading well - I still love the 2nd print cover as a possible star if the series ever blows up - and possibly even a trickle back to VH1 A&A 0 ... thoughts?

If someone really wants some Youngblood items that might have some value, pick up the ashcans Image did back in the day or the Youngblood trade paperback that was published by Diamond, in the same vein as the Valiant Unity Diamond books.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Yes this book will always have historical importance. But it will also be infamous because like the article said it is the start of the Speculator boom, probably actually more just in the swing of it but it definitely contributed to marvels bankruptcy and all the problems we have experienced since.

Glad I picked a physical copy up last week in my LCS. It's a good book. If the story holds up, then I could see this becoming popular. What's the print run? Image seemed to market it pretty heavily, so I bet it sold a bunch of copies.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Modern Comics
Winter World has been brought back by IDW. The original first issue from Chuck Dixon, circa 1987, is selling for bank. Not sure if it was before the new series or not. To me 1987 is modern. So, sue me.
