I just...I just don't care about Naomi, or Major X or Bat Who Laughs or HulkVerine etc. etc. etc. - fyi...I'm shaking my fist at the sky right now!!!




well .. I do really like weapon h... but only to read . No intent to throw money / spec on the character, just enjoy the content . That's what moderns are for right ?? Right ? *pin drops *

Good luck to those chasing naomi , hopefully works out . Not really my thing.

Does give fuel to the talk that we are in a bubbly / overheated speculator market

I'd buy me a Marlin .45-70 and bust up some cinder blocks with it with that much money.

I think I'm going to sit this one out. Let the jabronis fight over that book.

Well, I'm not a jabronis, but I did get a copy for really cheap! Being its such a low print run, and everyone's jumping to get a copy, I couldn't pass it up.

The story is decent but IMHO it is FOMO in full effect especially with it being a #1 and first app of Naomi.

Personally, I like the “B” cover more. As far as which is more collectible? No idea.

The B cover has a much lower print run and to me will be more desireable down the road.

Good to hear. I thought the B cover would have the lower print run

Yep because they kept reprinting the Cover A for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and "Final Print". Final Print has the lowest print run of less than 895 copies. Cover B did not get reprinted.

One of my LCS's has the Naomi #1 reprint that came out last wednesday at $10.00/per and Naomi #2 at $30; #3 at $25. To wrap in another thread. This is why LCS's go out of business. They see the speculation and new comics come through the door, get immediately pulled and marked-up the day they come out? Yeah, I'm not shopping there any more.

I dropped my old LCS when she kept selling me upcharged ratio variants. I was one of her big customers too. You would think customer loyalty means something but I guess not. That was 2 years ago.

@kaptainmyke damn cold-blooded! Ive been going to my LCS for a loooong time (used to work there!) and they always throw freebies like promo posters or even some ratio variants to grab before others do.

As for Naomi... i'm sure its a good read and interesting but meh, not my thing.

Of course "Jeriatric Joker" isn't likely to have any future importance whereas apparently Naomi does.


Yeah, depending on what happens with the character you could see more of a Saga #1 type effect. Whatever the major thing is better happen pretty soon because the series will end with issue 6 and unless this supposed major impact sparks more of the character continuity the fact that this is 6 and done could have an impact on what the market effect is.

If you go by that metric you should buy only later printings because they normally have very small print runs.

Bendis has already said that Naomi "Season 2" is coming (along with an Amethyst series for Wonder Comics) but hasn't announced a date yet. Whether that has any effect on long term value is certainly a wait and see, though.

While I am not a fan of day of mark-up why should a B&M leave money on the table and assume all the risk of supplying variants to the collector or speculator? It beffuddles me why people get mad at retailers for trying to make money. So often I have seen folks get angry about prices dealers have and then celebrate when they get something under market value. We “punish” somebody profiting unless it’s ourself. There is a local basement seller here that loves to complain about people’s asking prices but when he generally sells at triple ticket price. This seller had a book for sale that had a $90 USD tag and wanted $350 CAD which was over double the exchange rate in the price range of a book of one-2 grades higher.

Just got the 3rd print as well (which is worth more than the 2nd print).

@OGJackster wow... super find! Unless you had it in your pull list & just forgot bout it.
OR - the comic shop owner didn't realize what was in that other customer's pull list and the other customer hasn't been there in about six months so the shop owner let ya plunder and pillage their comic box. Haha
