Bragging rights - your best Dead Universe deal of late?

Won a nice auction on some Justice Machine books......16 in total, including two Noble issues, a ton of Innovation, and even a Millenium issue or two.

This helps out greatly, as I was able to get almost the entire Comico run @ my LCS.

Score!

I could see giving the characters a couple years' rest and then if nothing else bringing out omnibus-type editions of the "glory days" of the titles. Or even relaunching them at some point.
My understanding is that since the Wildstorm characters have been shown as coming from one of the 52 Earths in the DC Multiverse, we're pretty much assured that they will be used at some point. My guess is it won't be right after the books cease publication, which I believe is January. You're not going to see them enter the DCU mainstream the next month. You may, however, start feeling ripples of things in the late spring or mid-summer. My guess is they will linger around the edges, at first, before making a full entrance and my other guess is you aren't going to see them at all for a good 4-12 months once things wrap up on the line.
Hopefully DC does more with them than they did when they brought the Milestone characters back.

Wait, they brought them back?

OH now I like THAT... I scored 8 or so uncut printer's proofs from Valiant a few weeks back (Magnus, Solar, A&A and X-O Manowar). I should snag some pics of these and post 'em up as well.

I love those kind of fluke books... not that they are in error or anything but it is a fluke that they have survived all these years.

You were at the Lehigh Valley Con? Didn't see you!

... I ended up snagging those Epicurus books.

yeah, I was there. I thought that show pretty much sucked, hardly anything worth buying in the cheap boxes. There's one guy who has been at every show I have gone to in the area, and I always find some decent books in his .50 stuff.

I was also disappointed with the con, myself (although it was neat to speak with the Dark One). Which guy are you referring to? The guy with two tables nearest the food counter? He had a 100 comics for $30 deal - otherwise they're 50 cents.

yeah, that's him. I never can find 100 books I want at one time, though and I'm not going to buy stuff I really don't want to get close to it.

oh, by the way, I did take the time to talk with Tim Truman as I love his stuff. I asked him if he had any Turok pages, but he said all of that stuff is long gone. I didn't hang around too long, as I knew I didn't want to spend what limited money I had at his table.

I believe he used to run a show in Stroudsburg, up by the Poconos, I went there, once, maybe twice. Way too far for me to drive for a show, though. I believe it was fairly close to the Frazetta museum, wish I had gone there when I had the chance.

There was a show in Philly today, had to miss it, as the wife and I just got back home from a night in Hershey, checking out "Christmas in Hershey".

soooooo who won the lot of 70 Valiant Voicesfor $122.52 + $4 shipping?

Prelate1 · Post by **Prelate1** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 6:18 pm

I went to a shop today and rummaged through their quarter boxes, I pulled the following

Visitor 1 (2 copies), 5, 6, 7 (all newsstand)

Ninjak 00 (2 copies), 15, 16, 17 (all newsstand)

Not too bad right? But then I also found these gems in the quarter boxes

Visitor vs. the Valiant Universe 1 (2 copies) newsstand

Destroyer 0 newsstand

Oh yeah, the shop was having a 50% off sale that included the quarter boxes, so all the books listed above cost me 12.5 cents each.

Babes of Broadway #1 for 99 cents? Is that a good deal or not?

Knightt · Post by **Knightt** » Mon Dec 27, 2010 6:35 pm

Just a normal book, dude.

dave · Post by **dave** » Mon Dec 27, 2010 6:43 pm

I know it's not a rare one but at 99 cents with a bag and a board...

I didn't have it already!

There's a bunch of Broadway art up right now on e-bay that you can see using Greg's link. One nice page was $95.
