Could we get a note that this is the first appearance of Summer Zahid?

Comic Book Pricing Trends

Not that it really effects me, but would there be a way to keep the 9.9, 10.0 and maybe add the .3 (or some 'major damage' grade) but not list prices?
Seems a few people catalog their collections on here so keeping the grade but removing the price would let them keep / add these books to their lists.

Future State Teen Titans #1 1st Appearances

Good points. I was back and forth about adding Red X. I had another post but it was mostly ignored.
The DC description of the books does state first appearance in mainstream universe though, so I think it's worth mentioning.

And I totally forgot about Cybeast.

I've updated the original post to add these two.

Just read something that was speculating this might be the next The Walking Dead.
Apparently issues 5 and 6 only had one print run with about 14,000 each. So while they don't have all the first appearances, the scarcity of them will make them key books to own.

Gleason is at it again with his "web-head" theme. This time it's Avengers: Curse of the Man Thing #1.

New Titles - What Are You Looking Forward To?

There seems to be quite a few new titles coming out in the next couple of months. What ones are you looking forward to?

Batman: Urban Legends
It's nice to get some side stories that tie in to the main titles.


Harley Quinn
I'm also looking forward to the new Harley Quinn run. I held off getting into the character in general for a long time. But once I fell, I fell hard.

The Joker
The series might have some promise. I really love the Bermejo variant of issue #2 (another fantastic Punchline cover)

The Next Batman: Second Son
Not sure how much I'll get into it, but it is going to have Tim Fox's origin.

Robin
I don't know how I feel about the new Robin series, but I'll pick up the first issue. There's a first appearance so it's worth a few bucks to take a shot.

New DC Villain - Miracle Molly

So James Tynion IV is creating yet another new female villain character.
Her name is Miracle Molly.
She's going to have a cameo in Batman 106.
First full appearance (and cover) is Batman 108. That Artgerm variant looks pretty sweet and the 1:25 Federici sketch variant is just stunning.

Same. Not sure if she'll be as big a hit as Punchline. Not really feeling the 80's look, but to each their own.

Got lucky enough to snag the Homage variant at my secondary LCS today. They're really more of a game shop, so the comics tend to sit on the shelf longer.

Miss Meow #1

The first regular issue of this book is finally out.
.
Although it's billed as Merc Magazine: Miss Meow #1 Kitten Trap, I feel like the Title should just be listed as Miss Meow (Merc Magazine is the publisher and Kitten Trap is the story).
I'll leave that decision up to the professionals though.
.
Merc Magazine is Jamie Tyndall's new publishing company.

Not really sure where this fits on the forum, but here feels okay :p

So the subheading under "CPG Watch List" on the home page is bugging me.
It reads: "Keep an eye on this books".
Please tell me I'm not the only one this bothers...

To be honest, I hardly ever visit the home page. I forgot what was on it so I took a look today.

I've had similar happen to me. Had David Wielgosz "Dave" rejected as editor a couple time. Went to look at the details of the book and there he is.
The books you linked have those ppl listed as cover artists so it seems similar.
It's almost like someone rejected it to add it themselves? Or it shows as a miss, but was actually a hit?

So I had By The Horns #1 on my pull list. My store got one of the VHS variants and this guy was lucky enough to get it! Didn't even know it was a thing until I tried looking it up online. It's a small thing, but makes me smile smile

So it looks like Todd McFarlane is finally branching out the Spawn title to an entire universe. I like the character, but never really followed the book. Might be interesting to see where it goes though.

Looks like this title just got optioned by some pretty big names.
I know there's a gazillion variants, but it might be worth picking up a copy or two, just in case it takes off.

Are you talking about the price guide on here?
Do you have any examples?
I've been collecting the Future State books and ASM and those all appear to show at cover price...
