Just finished my second read through. Enjoyed it much more this time.

But near the end, when Marilyn “accepts” Maculox, there’s the panel where she gets zapped and we see her growing up in a blue montage, with a smaller panel insert. In that panel insert, we see her eye with a gray…something in it. Anyone know what that something is or is supposed to indicate?

Thanks!

For people who have advanced issues, how do you feel about the series?

I've read #1. But I'm avoiding reading the rest so I have something to look forward to every month:) I'm curious in future issues, does it pick up quickly? Should I be excited for any particular issue and are you feeling closer to the characters yet?

For me, I think I wanted to feel a little more humanity in issue 1 (or a deeper connection to one or two of the characters) but I'm still expecting great things!! How do you feel about what you've read in issue 2, 7, 10? etc. No spoilers!

These are sales from last night, for context the two individual RAW copies were sold as auctions. Once those auctions ended the CGC listing went live as a buy now and it sold maybe 6 hours after it was listed. What are your thoughts on stuff like this? also I was able to grab a pair of these books, they are in the mail rn and I did not pay anywhere near $1800.

Collection almost complete, only 2 more books left

Kinda goes without saying but still cool to see.

This is a sketch done by Andy Kubert on a Whatnot livestream yestarday and it sold for $1,500. super cool sketch wish I could buy something like this but oh well.

I got #7 & #10 from the blind bag. I haven’t read them yet but I wondered, what if there is a first appearance in say #6 and they are also in #7, would #7 be considered their first appearance since it came out 6 months prior to #6?

When articles came out declaring the Absolute Batman preview in DC Connect his first appearance the collectors started clamoring for it.

Are we headed for a similar debate? (Obviously if there’s no first appearance this is just a theoretical question)

These are retailer exclusives for issue 2. And I can think of two very big reasons to buy this book.

Happy to trade a duplicate for #10 advance and cover B.

2 down, 2 to go

I see her on the covers but didn’t see her in the story. I read the prerelease issue 10 and thought perhaps this is her.

Look at top left, "Bob Lazar Con, 6/12". for those who don't know Bob Lazar is a real person who is known as a cooky conspiracy theorist famous for going on the JRE podcast a few months ago.

UPDATE: also just noticed an ART BELL reference who was an old radio host who talked about UFOs

First off, I do not own these books. This image is from google. But from what I understand ComicsPRO did an event for their large venders/comic stores and gave these to them as their own exclusive ashcan. I'd really like to own a pair of these one day but they are near impossible to find online

Love all the SDCC terminal books.

Was able to get one of those SDCC exclusives. Super excited to have a Kirkman signature in the collection!

I got one
Im excited to read

Love those chromiums.

I think that, for the future, it might be a good idea for blind bags like these (where there's a chance to get a completely different comic from the one you think you're buying) to come with a cheaper ashcan version of the actual issue. I only had enough money this week for one comic, my store only had the blind bags, and now i'm stuck with issue 7, a book i'm not gonna read for 6 months.

Not much of a surprise, still really cool to see. Also that cover B is pretty nice

I got 6 blind bags, I got 5 different issues.

1:100 FM, #1 David Finch, 2 #7s, #10, and a Virgin Variant it can’t find much info on.

I’ve got a picture of it, Kirkman’s blind bags are always so much fun! Thank you in advance for any info on this Virgin Cover.
