Comic Broker Report – October 2013
The slow market continues…
Here are ten tips for October:
1. Do not invest heavily in DC 3D covers.
2. If you find new 52 Batman issues in high grade at cheap prices buy and flip for decent money.
3. Invest in Harley Quinn.
4. Do not rent, purchase or recommend this film: The Colony
5. Eat at Dell Taco if possible.
6. Convince your girlfriend or wife to dress as Mother Russia this Halloween!
7. Give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. your support. It will only help more comic properties get developed.
8. Do not care what the fox says.
9. Support my Kickstarter for Halloween candy is the shapes of razorblades, syringes, pocket knives, prescription medication etc.
10. Play Farcry 3: Blood Dragon if you have not already done so.
These are the comics I am recommending this month.
Letter 44 1 SDCC Variant
Charles Soule and Alberto Alburquerque’s sci-fi series from Oni Press released this SDCC convention exclusive of Letter 44 issue 1 prior to the October regular issue. If you are looking for the next big thing here it is.
Also check out this press kit from Oni!
Marvel Two-in-One 42
Agent’s of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered this week and the ratings were huge. Reviews are mixed but most can agree that Agent Coulson stole the show. Writers have set up some intriguing mysteries surrounding familiar Marvel storylines. If the Journey into Mystery name drop got you exited then so will Project Pegasus!
Ghost Projekt 1
Here’s one I may have missed the boat on! A possible TV adaptation in the works usually meant back issue heat and in this case it’s an inferno. Mini series don’t see the kind of price gains that regular running series often do but when big studios are involved and the printing is low few things can halt the frenzy.
The Avengers 158 ( first Graviton )
Is he Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D’s first super villain? Buy this issue just in case!
Star Wars film speculation is only going to intensify each second we get closer to the new films from Disney. The current rumors still center around Solo’s twins and if you read my articles you know right where to go for their first appearance. Here are some of my favorites!
Star Wars 10 ( first Darth Krayt )
Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones #3 ( first Count Dooku )
Star Wars: Jango Fett Open Season ( first Tor Vizsla )
Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children
Have you seen A Blue Valentine or A Place Beyond the Pines? Both films were critical successes and now the director is set to adapt what? If you remember this twisted series from DC look for prices to jump real soon. The keys are very hard to come by. ( issue 13 has part 2 and is still cheap online )
Journey into Mystery 102 ( first Sif )
Sif looks to have a much larger role in the upcoming film and that’s definitely a good thing. Nothing should make fans happier than expanded character development for Thor’s supporting cast.
JOHN CONSTANTINE
An NBC show in the works =back issue raids across the country. Swamp Thing 37 is still pricey but other early issue can be found for small money.
Swamp Thing 37, Crisis 4, 38
Justice League Dark 1
Constantine 1 1:25 Variant
Cover is by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.
New Teen Titans 22 ( Early John Constantine )
Journey into Mystery 103 ( first appearance Amora/Enchantress )
Rumors are swirling already for Thor 3’s nemesis!

UPDATE
Who is Jake Ellis? Personally I don’t care but with movie speculation being what it is look for this rare series just not Online. Issues have been swallowed up.
