5 Boxes Today

Today was comic overload!

Ok not really.  It would take a lot to be in overload.  I received comics from across the country from various retailers.  Sellers from CGC forums, eBay, Facebook and business web sites all contributed to my habit.

I took pictures of each group instead of one large picture since there were so many.

First off…

From eBay, the first appearance of Hope Pym in A-Next #7.  People have really jacked up the prices on this one.  I guess the casting of Evangeline Lilly as Hope Pym in the upcoming Ant-Man movie has everyone going crazy.

From the CGC Forums, I landed the first full Starhawk appearance and the first appearance of Pip the Troll.

From Midtown Comics, I was able to pick up the Ant-Man shrinking variant.  All the local shops passed on it.  They said the ordering requirements were too high.  Each one is individually numbered.  The highest I have seen so far is  10,787 and the lowest is 27.   UPDATE: A #23 has popped up on eBay! These are freaking awesome.

I also grabbed some Skottie Young variants, the missing Ms. Marvel issues, and a couple of GI Joe variants that didn’t make the picture.  

Probably one of my favorites of today’s fun, Heroes and Fantasies Store Exclusive Star Wars #1 Color and Black & White variants.  A really nice homage to Amazing Spider-Man #129
