I loved the iZombie run and thought there were a few more stories to left to tell but I believe there were some issues between DC and the writer near the end of the series - the show is different from the comic but if it hangs around I can see these books really going somewhere - the end of run issues 24 - 28 are pretty tough to find in good shape and I assume had a lower print run than the $1 first issue - Aside from #1, I think the other keys will be the Cooke variant of #1, the HOM Annual preview story and #28 - all of these have already been selling very well in the show lead up and look to still have some room for growth.

I sure hope so... with the show being on the CW I'm fairly certain the show will be renewed

What do you guys think about Edge of Spider Verse #2? Think this book has any staying power or potential growth or should it be dumped as soon as possible?

IMHO, it has room to grow. I think the female audience still has untapped potential, and this is a book that would appeal to that audience.

Same with ASM #4, in the same spider-vein.

Are the Apocalypse Twins still around? I'm wondering if their first appearance might do something.

It's just something I ran across. I'm wondering if the print run is above 2,000.

From my experience small Indy books like this might get hot-ish on eBay, but it is a small collector market that is interested.

I was kind of thinking if a board member saw a copy of that book in a shop at cover it might be a quick flip. It's an interesting looking book, too.

I feel like I've been the only dealer to exploit this book but Bee and Puppycat early issues continue to sell very well for me in my store.

First printings of the first issue are nearly impossible to find and had a print run of 17K

This series is still less than a year old so there is a chance issues are out there in shops just have to look...

I easily sell them for $24-26

Just tonight issue two sells for $19.00 in my store (second one sold at this price)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bee-and-Puppyca ... 1619590472" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

The first three issues are pretty hard to find and have been sold out a long time even the second printings sell for $13.00 in my store. I was prepared for this book when it was released and told a few people. This isn't a flash in the pan..

I have been meaning to ask about that from time to time, since you were talking about it so much at Wondercon last year.

My wife even has brought it up once or twice.
