I know this is a longshot but...due to unfortunate circumstances I was not able to get to my LCS or any other yesterday. I’m reaching out to anybody out there that might have an extra copy or have an LCS in their area with one. If so, I also have a book or two to add to the purchase price for the trouble. If not, no big deal. Just thought I’d ask. Appreciate the help. Thanks!!

Why is this book so hot? Is it hype?

And I saw an error copy sold for $900. WTF?

Yes. The introduction of any new character is now a celebration.

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
The introduction of Punchline....in 6 months the hype for this book and this new character will be somewhat ironic.

I got 1 from my pull list. The owner of my LCS told me this book is really hot and sold out everywhere. I played it off like I did not know what was going on. Of course there were no copies left on the rack today.

My LCS sold out before putting any on the shelf on Wednesday. I thought about making the rounds to pick up a few copies, but I don't really like doing that ... it just feeds into the hysteria. Anyway, I am supposed to get two copies from my pull list shipped Wednesday ... here's hoping they materialize.

Does anyone have info on Hell Arisen #3? I read online that the release was pushed back a week, to March 4th, but I can't find that info online. Everyone still has the original release date.

Also, yesterday, a retailer told me Batman #90 will be Punchline's first full appearance. It's the first I heard of that, too. I'm thinking now that he may have been confused, between Punchline and The Designer? As #90 will be The Designer's first full appearance.

[Edit later]: I did find out that Batman #90 is supposed to have a section on Jorge Jiménez's process for designing Punchline. So essentially, she will appear in-full in that issue, but not as part of the story. In my mind, that doesn't count, but maybe others see it differently.

You'll find one cheap in 6 months...trust me...the "cameo" in the issue was a stretch I felt

I'd sell you mine, but I'm still a completist on the runs I collect...I have 1-89, so can't sell it, yet

Sure! What would you be interested in, trade wise? You can pm me if you'd rather.

Any luck with Hell Arisen #3? I just found out my pull list was raided and I'm not getting it. I might try tomorrow, but chances are, no one will have it.

@Tedsaid I only ordered one of Hell Arisen #3 from The Comic Mint for $17.95. I wish I'd had ordered more I would have sold ya one for cost.

Just try to be at the comic shop first thing and beat the crowd. Eat some peanut butter, broccoli, eggs, and cabbage the night before so you can clear out the shop & have it to yourself. Make sure you do the "one cheek sneak" or else they might kick you out.

Hahaha ... and I'll eat me spinach!

No, I will try of course, but I don't think it'll work. My LCS didn't even put Batman 89 on the shelf, due to so many people adding it to their pull lists. And Hell Arisen has a MUCH smaller print run. I reckon even getting there first thing won't help.

But I'll let you know! (FYI, I got one from Comic Mint, too, for close to that amount. I'm just annoyed because my order with Atomic Empire was for 4 copies and I got none. But I do appreciate the sentiment!)

@KCBatmanFan Is it me or does it look like a Scott Campbell rip-off?

I hadn't really thought about it, but now that you mention it, this one is more Campbell-esque than most of Artgerm's work, especially the nose and eyes. The little smirk shows up in a lot of Artgerm's work, though.

Whenever I see art like this it always reminds me of old school So-Cal Sereno Gang tattoos.

I got confused between this thread and the "Heads Up - Two New DC Villains" one, and posted the update there. But here it is again:

"I managed to get one copy from my main LCS first thing this morning. He had a few set aside "So I can give them to my favorite customers. Or you." Heh ... that guys cracks me up. The store is called "Up Up And Away," but if I call and he sees it's me, he'll answer, "Up Yours."

I got two more copies for $20 each from another store. That particular store does a good job of pricing hot books up so that they are still available, but not too high to piss people off. He did the same thing for Batman Damned and managed to have copies available for 3-4 days.

Another store had a couple at $35 each, but I decided to give those a miss."

Also, as I noted elsewhere, Atomic Empire felt bad about shorting me four copies of HA #3, so they put one copy in my pull list today ... AFTER mailing my monthly subscription. So I won't get that copy until April Fool's Day, looks like. It will be worth either $200 or $2 by that point, not sure which.

So altogether I have, or will have, at least five copies, three in hand. I guess I'll send those three for grading tomorrow, fast pass, try to sell 'em before the next shiny object comes out.
