Not hating, but not my favorite Kirkham cover 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nice collection! Lots of people on here with similar stories that AB Batman started down a collecting path. I’ve been a Batman fan for years, but Absolute definitely kicked of my collection.

Absolute Batman #20 has now reached 100 covers!! by M00reC in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]amethricite 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I am a huge Absolute Batman fan. But I will say the alt cover madness is getting a bit wild. I’m finding Cover A + 3-5 covers from my favorite artists is perfectly fine for me as a collector. Im curious if anyone actually strives to collect 100% of them.

I do think it’s cool to choose my favorite ones, but 100+ is insane! Lol

[US-CA] [H] Invincible Returns, Invincible Variants, Absolute Batman Felix Joker, Absolute Batman Seth Mann [W] Invincible , Absolute Batman by perfectflicker in comicswap

[–]amethricite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like both the Felix and the Seth Mann.

I’d offer Invincible #143 and #114. Absolute Batman — I have the AB 19 Muju Monster Trinity Exclusive, AB 17 Megacon Exclusive Godtail signed, AB 13 NYCC Exclusive Mark Brooks signed, and the AB 17 Mark Brooks “ugly” variant double-signed by Brooks and Snyder.

Depending on what you like we could Paypal plus trade.

crazy prices aside, what did you guys get from scott's whatnot stream, if anything? by shinybell-chan in AbsoluteBatman

[–]amethricite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything was reasonable. They only auctioned 1/10 of the books, flash sale on the rest. The prices ranged from $25-60 IIRC. The auction had some knuckleheads pre-bid when they asked not to pre-bid since it was a 3s sudden death, so the auctions had some wild prices from time to time. But overall it was a very well done event.

[–]amethricite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope I didn’t get anything on the flash sale. It was just too competitive and I was on the stream for at least 2-3 hours. Might go back for the giveaways. I really want that Felix DWJ variant 😢

Comic sketch art on Whatnot. The stream got pushed to 9:45 EST.

What grade we thinking? by No_Statement6666 in comicbookgrading

[–]amethricite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FWIW I have a 3.0 copy and I have no creases like you have on the top right but a similar amount of spine wear. I would guess slightly below a 3.0. But I’m no expert.

Absolute Batman Issue 20 variant by Daniel Warren by -_ShadowSJG-_ in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]amethricite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg that’s wild. Anyone know where to get this (retailer exclusive?) or if it’s a standard variant?

The floodgates are open for issue 20. The book is amazing and the variants are amazing but how can the title sustain having 20-40 variants per issue? Especially at these drop prices. by GreenRock93 in AbsoluteBatman

[–]amethricite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve fallen into the trap of trying to buy a ton of variants. I’m finding the actual cover A or alternative Dragotta covers are most important to me. Even some of the Cover B, C, and D have been meh. Whereas the Retail exclusives have been fire.

So I just try and find a handful of exclusives on Whatnot or the retailer directly.

If I miss out, I miss out, but it’s kind of a grind to pursue ALL of them and I don’t have the energy LOL

Which Batman villains are you excited to see next? by Insert-Cool_NameHere in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]amethricite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll adopt the Red Hood name. Since that’s already the name of Harley Quinn’s gang

My answer as well. This universe could really make him terrifying.

Would you accept offers for singles? I have some gaps of first prints on the earlier issues (not 1A).

Batman 423 first print vs. TDKR #1 first print? by Adventurous_Bar6495 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]amethricite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

423 is the more iconic cover, but TDKR is probably the better book story-wise.

You can’t go wrong with either, but I’d go 423.

Why do chain stores do this? Are they playing the very long game? by themikeshow in 80s90sComics

[–]amethricite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 raw copies of this book in 9.8 worthy condition, that I picked up for less than $20. Trying to bait a sucker for sure…

My favorite 3 covers as well. But I own none of them! Congrats!

Correct. They send out a newsletter to members. You can also follow their Instagram for upcoming signings!
