Indy's Comic Picks for 10.5.16

[IndySportsCards]

Indy's Weekly Hot, Cool and Collected Comic Picks for this week!

Hillbilly #1 and #2 2nd prints will be hot.

Harley Quinn And Her Gang Of Harleys #6 Frank Cho Variant - This one is a coin toss for me as I'm not a huge fan on this particular story.

Cannibal #1 - New Image series dealing with the denizens of a small Everglades town desperately trying to hold onto their everyday lives at the dawn of a cannibal pandemic.

Green Valley #1 - Another new Image series, this one could be a sleeper. The knights of Kelodia are the finest in the land, but they've never faced a power like the one that resides in the Green Valley. MAX LANDIS (Chronicle, American Ultra, Superman: American Alien) and GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI (Amazing Spider-Man) welcome you to the world of Green Valley, where nothing is ever what it seems.

MOONSHINE #1 Frank Miller Variant - Yet another new Image series launching this week. I can see the Frank Miller variant doing well, it's his best in years IMHO!

Walking Dead #159 - THE WHISPERER WAR,' Part Three The war rages on. It's been a great read so far and something you might want to look into picking up.

Amazing Spider-Man #19 - Someone's going to die. Alex Ross cover, worth checking out.

Cage #1 - Multiple variants (http://www.midtowncomics.com/images/product/xl/1585478_xl.jpg), Netflix show around the corner, worthy of a look.

Champions #1 - New Teen Team of Superheros assembled for this launch. I like the Ghost Rider action figure variant (http://www.midtowncomics.com/images/product/xl/1569426_xl.jpg), it's got cross over appeal with the TV audience of SHIELD. There is also two Campbell variants, the regular and a new Monochromatic variant (http://www.midtowncomics.com/images/product/xl/1579545_xl.jpg) or if you really want to drop a boatload of cash, you can snag the stellar Alex Ross variant (http://www.midtowncomics.com/images/product/xl/1585482_xl.jpg).

HEADS UP PLAY
Deadpool Back in Black #1 Lim variant (http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=Deadpool+Back+In+Black+%231_1567421) was not solicited in time for retailers to order many of, which will make it one of the rarer variants and may dry up fast. Just a heads up as I can see this one selling out quickly online.

HEAVY WEEK!!
Other books to consider: Jessica Jones #1 & Enchanted Tiki Room Variants (Might resell well)

SLEEPER PICK!! - GREEN VALLEY #1
I've been able to read some advance pages (http://www.cbr.com/green-valley-1/) from this book and was hilarious. I can see this book doing very well if it continues down this path. A lot of people may overlook it with such a heavy week, and it is a mini (9 issues) for now, but as others have stated below, it's Max Landis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Landis) and he's got a cult following.. Book may do very well over time, or heck, may sell out initially, hard to predict this stuff, but definitely put it on your radar.

NOTE: If you want one graded, PM me, I have plenty coming in :)

Keeping checking this thread throughout the week for additional picks, news and comic views........

Harley Quinn And Her Gang Of Harleys #6 Frank Cho Variant - This one is a coin toss for me as I'm not a huge fan on this particular story, but the girls do look awfully nice in their bikinis. (http://cdn.bleedingcool.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/unnamed-6.jpg) ;)



I think the bikini cover was issue #5

I got this image for issue #6 off ebay

[IndySportsCards]

Doh, thank you. I looked at the wrong cover initially.

I agree Indy! I'm only continuing this one for the run.

Will snag TWD, Deadpool Back in Black, Hillbilly reprints (if available) and possibly Moonshine.

The knights of Kelodia are the finest in the land, but they've never faced a power like the one that resides in the Green Valley.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I think Max Landis is a wicked genius.

[drgthang]

Definitely a heavy week. I'd been outta the loop for a few but just picked up TWD connecting cover, Disney Kingdom's Tiki, Deadpool Back in Black, Moonshine, Cage/Jessica hip-hop variants, and the other two Image titles you mentioned.

And also a few copies of the Kylo Ren JTC on pre-order today..heavy day for sure!

[SlackerBoy9]

Picking up Jessica Jones but think the Siya Oum comic mint cover is the one to get for this issue

[speez22]

Bummed I missed out on that Deadpool Back in Black Kirkham variant. That cover is SWEET! If anybody snagged an extra they'd like to sell/trade, let me know. :)!

Thanks for the list as always, Indy.

Sweet! Thanks!!!

[drgthang]

There's that new book "Black" coming out too..any potential for this one? is Black Mask a losing pick in terms of specs due to them not publishing issues on a regular basis?

[IndySportsCards]

Nothing about Black entices me, from the concept which was done a few months ago, to it being Black Mask which seems to be all about Convention exclusives right now and NOT getting issues out in a timely manner. I find it hard to build excitement for them right now, but who knows, perhaps it'll break out.

[IndySportsCards]

It would appear to me that Jim Thompson's Killer Inside Me is a hit with comic fans. In looking over at Midtowncomics online, both covers for #2 (http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=Jim+Thompsons+Killer+Insi_1560570) are sold out. It's being published this Wednesday, so you might be able to flip it for a few bucks, or if reading it, go for it early at the shops.

[roverpak]

i thought the first one was pretty good. hopefully i can snag one to see if the story keeps me interested

[SlackerBoy9]

Black #1 sold out of its 22k print run prior to release at distributor level

[SlackerBoy9]

So I'm seeing reports that they are killing a character this week in walking dead who has appeared on covers and posters

What are your thoughts about mini series? They don't seem to have as high of a value.

cool yawn-cant do it

female thor, female iron man, female deadpool, wth?

Can i just get a she hulk and captain danvers? Sorry for rant....

[Donkaylove]

picking up jessica jones but think the siya oum comic mint cover is the one to get for this issue

i went jessica jones, lim deadpool, walking dead, now ghost rider, and couple others...........

[IndySportsCards]

What are your thoughts about mini series? They don't seem to have as high of a value.

Only if picked up to make a movie/TV series will it see extended value, but it's got Kirkman behind it (Skybound/IMage), and Max Landis writing, could have long term potential.

[insanepjc]

walking dead. death.

[SlackerBoy9]

walking dead. death.

I'm thinking it will be Michonne

[IndySportsCards]

I'm thinking it will be Michonne

Ermergerd! That'll be HUGE!

[val47]

hey Indi how about Reborn? has tons of covers and I haven't heard anything about it

[IndySportsCards]

I didn't recommend it as it's written by Mark Millar and to me he tends to write for 12 year olds. The book may see an uptick in value if picked up for a movie, but he seems to be writing too much right now and is stretching himself very thin hunting for that next movie deal. I think his writing suffers from the many distractions. I've not read this one yet, but don't have high hopes for it. I could be totally wrong and it might be worth picking up an issue to see if you like it. I just think I won't like it myself.

[Mysterio]

We'll, I've seen TWD 159 spoilers now. I know who dies. Hahahahahaha...

The only saving grace is Capullo. He has a huge following. Might get hot because of that.

OMG! I can't believe it was her!!!! Thanks for the heads up.

[Mysterio]

OMG! I can't believe it was her!!!! Thanks for the heads up.

Given everything they've been through, it should surprise no one. ;)

[val47]

I also notice some biting tho......

[SlackerBoy9]

Oh that is weak . So weak

[Branesergen]

Are you kidding me! :/ lol

[Cyber Warrior]

YMiatuUBWNo

[vitomagneto]

I love that champions 1:100 cover I must have one!!!!

[Anders]

No love for Girrion #1 ? I got a couple of copies and can see that being a rather hot issue.

[speez22]

Local shop told me that Hillbilly 2nd prints wouldn't be available until next week. Anybody else's shop get them already?

[poppincurbs]

TMNT Universe #2 Cover A's were all gone from my store by lunchtime, thankfully a pal snagged me one this morning
