Good save! And of course you can get it cgc ss and sell it to Desperate Housewives fans! :thumb: lol
I doubt any Desperate Housewife fan would want the signature of Orson Hodge, nor any Sex and the City fan want an autograph of Trey MacDougal. How I Met Your Mother fans might want one of the Captain, however.
DUDE! Chiclo you da man! :high-five: I was afraid of going that deep (although I missed the Sex in the City one, because you I am a guy after all! Lol) thinking I was the only geek who get those! I bow before your geekdom of wise one! I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! (Insert bowing here!)

The Humans. Image is publishing the Humans. However, there is this self-published book out there that was published before Image picked it up, with a way low print run. I'd like to know what printer these guys used, as I've published a few comics myself and am currently writing for a couple small press publishers.

I've seen steady price increase on Ms. Marvel (volume 3) #1 - the series starring Kamala Khan as the new Ms. Marvel. Goes for around $20-$30 these days, and this title has been a lot of "best of" lists for 2014. so I'm hoping it continues to rise. I should have bought more of these.

Also, I just rewatched Guardians of the Galaxy and really loved the character of Nebula. James Gunn has said he has big plans for her in the sequel. Her first appearance (Avengers #257) doesn't go for too much right now ($10-$30 range), but I'm curious to keep an eye on it.

It's actually Avengers #257. Her origin is #260. :thumb:
It's already got some heat.

You are correct, sir - Avengers #257. I updated my original post. When I double checked it on Wikipedia, the cover image they use is #318 so I had that in my head when I originally posted.

So a Robots vs. Zombies movie is going to happen. I've sold 3 books in my ebay store the last 2 days.

I think they just got a director.

This has long been a hot book but I'm stunned by the levels it's reaching:

Me thinks it maybe time to dig that out and sell. I bought all of them and didn't think much of them. I still can not figure out the appeal of this one. :?

Ultimate Fallout 4, the first Miles Morales, is taking off. I've sold 3 copies in the last week
for ten dollars each, and decided to stop selling the book.

Yes, that's his first appearance. I've no idea why it doesn't go for more, but I believe it should. I would think the print run on that book is less than Ultimate Spider-Man 1 in the white bag, too.

No Miles is speculated to be coming into Marvel 616. If he does that will skyrocket his popularity and thus the value of that book. I would also point out that the 2nd print (which shows his face on the cover) does exist and if I am not mistaken, in a far lower quantity. And I am not saying it just because I have stacks of both! Lol

There are two separate 2nd printings of Ultimate Fallout #4. One is the Face cover, which you mentioned, the other appears to be the same as the first printing, but says 2nd printing on it. At some point I do expect the 2nd printings to kick in.

Here's one the Ultimate Fallout #4 2nd printings. This is the non-Face 2nd printing. Note above the issue # it says 2nd printing variant.

I did see some speculation of Miles being in a movie, but it looks like just speculation at the moment. Additionally, as mentioned by Ramses818, there's speculation he'll be moved to Earth 616. Has that gone beyond speculation, anyone?
