Reason for my self-imposed exile from cosmic comics. Was doing more than that on a weekly basis :/ Though I am going there next week to buy some proper action figures for my sons b-day. Must resist the other temptations...

Missed my comic pickup last month so picked up a double batch this weekend - R1100!!! Really need to start dropping some DC52 books.

Jeez only saw this now. I make a point of it to go and collect twice a month, maybe more depending on how many times I am in the area. I started out on 4 series' a while ago...

Action Comics
All Star Western
Batman
Justice League

That has now evolved to:


Action Comics
All Star Western
Animal Man
Batman
Batman and Robin
Detective Comics
Justice League
Justice League Dark
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corpse
Green Lantern: New Guardians
Nightwing
Swamp Thing

13 issues aren't that bad monthly. At most, they cost R49. Which means that when my 12 issue subscription for Action Comics, All Star Western, Justice League and Batman runs out, the most it could cost me per month is R639, and plenty of those books cost R35 per issue.

Also, I picked up #1 of The Ray, written by Palmiotti and Gray (from All Star Western and previously Jonah Hex). It is a 4 issue mini series and its looking good so far. Keep an eye out. Cosmic Comics selling each issue for R29.
 
Shew spent so much cash on signed comics this December but got some awesome stuff. Stan Lee, Jim Lee, Humberto Ramos, Michael Turner. So awesome!

Singed comics? What comics did you get?

EDIT: Also finished the Dark Knight Strikes Again. Weird and abstract book, but awesome. Moving on to either the Boys or Kick Ass.

Lekker. Check out the print number on the Justice League #1. There is a barcode and then a smaller barcode in a smaller box. If that barcode reads 0111, you have something very valuable.

Everything is collectable. They will just vary in value. There are loads of factors that can tune you what makes something worth a lot. I am not the pro at that, but I do know someone who does. Call Shane (the guy from Cosmic Comics) on 011-476-9640. I have had quite interesting discussion with him on the subject. Also, Google is everyone's friend.
 
Anyone here maybe interested in buying statues? Looking at reducing my collection due to storage constraints :( Mainly Batman : Black & White, but can give more details if needed.
 
Ones I'm looking to place in the loving care of a fellow collector :

Marvel Universe Spider-Man (Based on art by Sam Kieth, sculpted by Eli Livingston) 77/500
Marvel Universe The Incredible Hulk (sculpted by Eli Livingston) 478/2500
Marvel Ultimate Fantastic Four Invisible Woman Bust
Batman : B&W Gotham Knight (933/3500)
Batman : B&W Paul Pope (3627/4000)
Batman : B&W Jim Aparo (161/3300)
Batman : B&W Tim Sale (1610/5000)
Batman : B&W Matt Wagner (1533/4500)
Batman : B&W Andy Kubert (2756/4000)
Batman : B&W Bruce Timm (1796/4000)

Batman : B&W Steve Rude (1478/3300)
Batman Begins : Batman in Flight (2079/4000)

Few others like Superman/Batman Public Enemies, Warcraft 3 Tichondrius, other Batman : B&W that I'm still contemplating.

Wow that is quite a collection. Have you checked out the mygaming classifieds section? Just a suggestion as to where else to put it up. You are posting it in the right place most probably. Have you got some form of pricing in mind?
 
The new DC 52 is loosing me , it started of so well and then the writing style just dipped , I have now been reduced to Superman, Action Comics , wonderwoman ( seems to be the only really good one) and Batman .
The rest who know's they just lost me too much trying to lay down future plots and too little resolution ... pity

I reckon that many of these story lines are laying down future plots. But for a good reason. I think that many of them will have epic story arcs that finish with issue 12, which will most probably be bound in some collection. Hang in there bru, I think there are some good ones heading our way.

Not sure if you are interested, but if you want a really good plot with some amazing art, check out All Star Western. Not everyone's cup of tea, but this is by far my favourite series of the new 52.
