I don't think print runs are going to be high on this book.

I was just researching this Miracleman #15 promo after finding one in Baltimore last week:

This copy went for $$$$, but another copy from the same seller didn't move @ $13.00.

All of the variants of this book is crazy. It is going to be very expensive to for a serious collector to get them all.

As for this book, ...... I'm not sure. Did not even know it existed.

Be grateful for any advice on whether to sell now or hold for later on a few recent Image titles I'm not going to carry on getting. They are:

- Epic Kill 1
- Hell Yeah 1-4
- Danger Club 1-3

What do people think - cut losses and sell them now or are they likely to gain in value over the next year or so - is any of these another 'Chew'? My thinking is that these titles could get hotter if they carry on to longer runs and more people get interested as trades come out. Is this realistic?

I've also got a spare set of Saga 1-3 and Manhattan Projects 2. Is interest peaking or do you think they're worth hanging onto for a bit?

I got epic kill #1 (reg & variant)
I never bothered with "hell yeah"
I got Danger Club #1 & #2, but that's it so far.

Revival is better than all of those, I'd keep an eye on it.

At this point, Epic Kill, Hell Yeah and Danger Club don't really look to be doing anything. They aren't Chew by any means. The only way they will take off is if there is a movie deal. If you want the space in your collection, dump them. If you don't mind hanging on to them, hold them as you aren't going to get much for them.

I still have 3 copies of Epic Kill #1. Although it was a blatant rip-off, I kind of liked it. Since I can't get anything for them, I'm likely hanging on to them.

Danger Club - I got rid of my 1 - 3 while I was able to recover my cost and a little more.

Saga - I'd hold this one. It's in a bit of a lull because the book is on a 2 month break. Even though this book has the highest print run of all the books you've mentioned, it still has the best potential.

Manhattan Projects and Hell Yeah, I don't know.

I would say that Epic Kill, Hell Yeah, and Danger Club all Probably have very little value.

I actually have been trying to sell a run of Epic Kill #1-4 for over a month and a half. I started my auction with a price that would let me break even on the books, and after slowly bring down the price, I finally sold the set today for $10.49 shipped ( a net loss of around $7; recouped only a little bit of my initial investment)

I dont know about Manhattan Projects, but my guess is that Saga will continue to climb in value over time.
Pull List: I only buy TPB's, HC's and Hellboy comics

30 Day of Night, the first series seems to be picking up steam again for some reason. Sets going for $200-$300 for that great three issue mini.
