Did last week's buys manage to make the CBSI Top 10 List yet? Of course not! I passed on Naomi 3 simply because I didn't want to get caught up in another series (that is selling for $10 USD), and that seems to be the big series at DC with lots of buzz. And that Meet the Skrulls limited ratio by Razah? No chance at that either, but I could pay +$50 USD now if I were inclined. I'll wait on that I guess.
Picks for Flips
Age of X-Man X-tremists 2 Frison Variant
It’s a very cool Jenny Frison piece; as always, such good use of purple hues in her work. You can almost sense the Abyss with her covers, can't you? I won’t find this one, let alone would I find it cheap; but if you do, grab it. It’s already in the +$40 USD range.
Hulkverines 2 Moore Variant
Both covers are currently selling +$10 USD, but you can get cover A at cover online. The Moore variant seems more likely easy for the flip. If you are so inclined, that is.
Marvel Rising Momoko 1:25 Variant
Another one that is a) cool and b) never going to happen for me. This one is clearing +$100 USD already on eBay. Yikes...if you are lucky to see this one at cover price, RUN up to it, GRAB it, and flip it quickly if so inclined. It's like machine that makes cash! Crazy!
Items for the Long Term Collection
Detective Comics 1000 Timm 1940's Variant

Another one with so many variants, and so many ratio variants exclusive to stores. I’m keeping it to Timm's Joker cover; this should finally feature the introduction of the ARkham Knight to the comic book mythos. Plus I love the look of this one best. Take a look at the others, and feel free to choose the one you like the best.
Batgirl 33 Putri Variant
Another cover buy; Batgirl and its title’s variants have been superb since I started collecting them. Putri is finally back at DC, and I have missed her...
Daredevil 3 Tedesco Cover A
Three issues in , and for me, it’s another Marvel keeper to keep up with.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch 1 Hughes Variant
My wife and I loved the Netflix show; she didn’t get most of the occult/esoteric themes, but enjoyed it nonetheless. I, on the other hand, enjoyed the esoteric themes of the show. Does that make me a Satanist? A devil worshipper? A blogger with Crowley vision? I hope not, but who knows? Who really ever knows??
Plus it's an Adam Hughes cover, who I must admit, I've really begun to appreciate of late. They can be risque, but those Zatanna variants he did are fantastic. As is the Detective 858 Batwoman variant I recently purchased.
Batman Beyond 30 Oliver Variant
Future Robin's future is up in the air in the future; that means the DC timeline in the future could change. I wonder what the numeric value of the word future is? I'd look, but I'd bore you. So I'm just going to go ahead and pick up this wonderful Oliver cover.
Other Items of Interest
Neon Future 1
Talk about the ultimate transhumanist crisis; you hate technology so much you revolt against yet, yet when you die, that same technology brings you back to life. This probably won’t go the route of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, but maybe it will. At the very least, if this one is good, it’ll be on Amazon, Netflix, or some other streaming vision. The hero looks more like a Christ than Boris Karloff, but I'm not judging this book by its cover.
Umbrella Academy 6 Hotel Oblivion
Speaking of Netflix, I'm really enjoying this show. Do I start buying this now too? I already missed the boat with the first round of issues...I probably shouldn't start on this, but maybe I should? I don't know what to do...maybe I'll just save the money and try to get the first set. C'mon Litecoin, get to a $1000 already!
Books I Really Want but Need Litecoin Equal to $1000 USD to Buy
Sabrina 1 Hughes Virgin Variant
I really like this cover, but you know what? It's going for over $200 USD. I'm going to have to pass, but if I could, I'd get this one for the long term collection. I'm going to have to settle for the cheapie version of this one.
Detective Comics Artgerm Variant
It's Artgerm, and it's a classic. I remember I had a chance to get this one for $50 USD, but thought I'd best wait. Too bad, as it is now selling for over $100 USD. Anytime Litecoin...
That's it for this week. Good luck tomorrow everyone. And well done, Batman; 1000 issues is pretty insane, all things considered. Sure there was a break, but still, 1000 issues.
