Batman Giant #6 has been approved and added to the database. I'm currently checking the 3 other Walmart titles to add new issues.

If you add a book into your want list on this site you can quickly see who's selling a book you need on the site.

In the US this would be a tougher sell because no one's heard of this company. In Germany, this would be a much easier sell, since this is a German grading company.

The first Wolverine is a valuable and sought-after book in any grade.

Maybe he doesn't know about the rarity of that book. DC Comics Presents #22 Whitman Variant isn't exactly common although 6 people on this site say they own it. Still, that's a tiny number.

Walmart 3 Pack comics?

If you think about what Walmart is doing it's actually fantastic for the hobby. These books could introduce new fans to comics or get previously interested collectors back in. Which is good for all of us. The other thing it does is start to break up the monopoly held by Diamond. If Walmart continues to get books outside of Diamond then others might follow. Who knows?

Nice. How many Detective 1000's are you trying to collect?

My local shop hooked my wife up with a Michael Turner Supergirl Statue and a Jim Lee Superman statue.

Sean, I did not realize that Kingpin's first appearance in Daredevil was that late. 1st Appearance in Amazing Spidey #50 (July 67) and 1st Appearance in Daredevil (May 1981).

Quinn, your daughter obviously loves you.

There is a lot of talk about Immortal Hulk lately. Plus those Alex Ross covers are funky and fun. Immortal Hulk #2 saw price increases late last year.

When Aquaman comes out of the waterfall in costume, I was blown away. I really enjoyed this movie and felt immersed in the underwater world of Atlantis. If this movie was made 10 or 15 years ago the CGI would have been lame. I'm glad they waited and got it right. Totally honest, I wasn't a fan of Aquaman before this movie.

I think there are a couple things at play with Harley Quinn #57.
1. Cho was gone and orders were down.
2. 1st appearance of Mirand'r
3. Tedesco's art is gorgeous

We adjusted the price to reflect the current market which is exploding with sales for this book!

Here are a couple hot books, please feel free to add to this list.

Harley Quinn #57B - Frank Cho was creating variant covers from issue 8 - 56. Issue #57 has Tedesco doing the variant cover which looks amazing. And this book is the 1st appearance of Mirand'r.



Young Justice #1F
- Jorge Jimenez Superboy flirting cover and 1st appearance of Teen Lantern
Young Justice #1 is getting good reviews and there's some speculation based on the new show. Between the art, the story, the first appearance and the new show this is a winner!

The feature you're talking about, the graph with all paying members books by grade is new. We are hoping that members will start to change those grades to accurately reflect their collection. It takes time to accurately grade your books and so many of us are just trying to get them in the system. Personally, I think it's MOSTLY about time and not dishonesty but some people dream crazy dreams.

I've looked at this series and adjusted the price. The video game comics, in general, seem to be picking up momentum.
