New COMICS & TOYS this week at Comic Shops!!! 8/14/19
Wuddup mofo’s?!?
Welcome to New Book Wednesday!!! Ready to take a gander at all of the exciting nerdy nonsense making its way to comic shop racks this week??? I’m talking about kick ass Comics and Toys!!! I’m your host @blewitt, and I thank you for joining me on this virtual window shopping experience!!!
Each and every week on our Conquest Comics Instagram page, we post pics of the new comic books, toys, and miscellaneous merchandise that just arrived. Brand spankin new product for you to salivate over!!! Figured there are enough folks here who collect that it would be a useful service that would help with keeping up to date with new product. Feel free to check out our other pics on our Instagram account. Please give the shop a follow on Instagram as well if ya like what ya see!!!
First things first...To find your local comic book shop check the link below. Throw some support their way instead of shopping Amazon. Support your local stores and shops some support over the big box online retailers!!!

Ok, let’s hop right into things. Decent sized week...Marvel has a gazillion books, same with Indy titles, while DC has been taking a difffetent approach and not pumping out as much shit.
Starting with DC, There are 2 covers off the bat that folks will want for their personal collections...new Catwoman by Artgerm and Wonder Woman by Frison. Both stunning as usual. Detective Comics, Flash, Hawkman, Justice League Oddysey, and Event Levithian round out the week.
In the world of Independent books, Image rules as is the usual. Oblivion Song, Outter Darkness, Gideon Falls, Gogor, Unnatural, Sonata, Unearth, and a new title called White Trees all dominate. Speaking of new titles, the sheep have flocked to a new title called Once & Future that has a ton of buzz behind it. No idea if it’s good but might be worth taking a gander at.
Marvel throws the usual five thousand covers our way which just dominates the racks once again...but this week it’s all about Squirrel Girl!!!
I’m kidding...nobody gives a fuck about Squirrel Girl. I just wanted to mention her once in these damn pieces before they stealth cancel this pile of shit. Can you believe Squirrel Girl is on issue #47?!? I mean...c’mon!?!
Anyway, On a serious note it’s a big week. Doctor Strange, 2 different Conan books, Darth Vader, Fantastic Four, and Amazing Spider-Man all Grace us with their presence. But this week it’s once again about the big hyped events with Powers of X #2, and a pair of Absolute Carnage crossover books in Separation Anxiety and Scream.
Check em out here!!!!

RaNdOm ShIt TiMe!!!!!!!
This week in the nonsense department, it’s statues galore. Thankfully most of these are of the more affordable ilk so you won’t have to give handjobs in back of the truck stop to pave the way to settling up this week. Unless you want to...no shame in resorting to becoming a Lot Lizard to pay for yer toys. I’m not judging...I mean let’s be real, we are on Steemit...we have no shame...
Oh...Except that Weapon X Wolverine one...that fucker is like $325 beans...so start getting that hand ready Stroke Masta Flex!
A snazzy new PX Batman Pop...because there aren’t enough Caped Crusader vinyls as is...a chunk of DBZ figs for you to enjoy while bathing, a Jason Voorhees figure by NECA, and a few other rando’s round out this stupid week. Just scroll below and you will see the tastiness.
You are now excused.

Loving that Catwoman Artgerm this week!
Posted using Partiko Android
Right?!? You see the next one as well yet? Friggin Batman Returns Catwoman. Ridiculous.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Yeah, that one is pretty fantastic too - I think I read that might be the last one he does too for Catwoman. I might actually have the whole Artgerm set for Catwoman - which is a first for me
Posted using Partiko Android
Yeah I believe it’s his final one. You get any of the recalled books this week? Supergirl and Superman? They plucked em before they even shipped out for most east coast shops...I got 0. 😞
Posted using Partiko iOS
No luck for me either - I didn't get to my store when it opened at 11 thanks to work, and everything looked picked over by the time I made it. Jobs, they suck...

Those pesky jobs...always interfering with the important shit!!! Lol

had to smile about the re animator. While I liked the movie it is probably the worst figure to make.
Yeah it’s completely ridiculous. Funny part is we sold one immediately. Lol

do you hold some comics/ action figures etc as an investment if it is very limited or so?
Are modern comics still this limited? Or is the market to flooded by new releases etc?
I do. One of the guys in one of my comic groups popped up a post a while back showcasing his investment portfolio. He showed his stock portfolio...only investing in blu chip stocks along with his comic portfolio over the same time in which case he only invested in blue chip books. His comic portfolio had FAR outperformed his stocks. It was really interesting to see laid out like that.
As for modern stuff, the answer to your questions are sometimes and sometimes. Lol
It really depends on a bunch of factors. Take for example the modern grail of variant covers...Amazing Spider-Man #667 Dell’Otto variant. Came out in the past 10 years and literally is a ghost. It rarely pops up for same and the book has gone from being a several hundred dollar book to fetching almost 15k in high grade. I bought mine a put 2 years ago for $1800 and while my copy has a couple of flaws, I could easily move mine right now for $4-$6k. Now that’s the exception...for every book like that, there are a hundred that have the opposite approach. Like anything it comes down to supply and demand.

wow that is crazy. I find those "out of the norm" investments like comics, magic cards pretty exciting even I have no stake in the game and probably never will.
How do you spot potential winners? Blue chip books are like well known comics like Batman, spiderman etc?
Yeah basically just as in stocks, your blue chips will be your elite top of the pack type stuff. For example.
Incredible Hulk 181 (1st appearance Wolverine)
Amazing Spider-Man 129 (1st Punisher)
Werewolf by Night 32 (1st Moon Knight)
Books like that. Key issues and first appearances of major characters that have already stood the test of time.
I think those are a great place to hedge bets. If we get into another economic downturn, I’ll be looking to invest into some of these books a bit more as that is the time to do it.

Squirrel Girl?
Ha! Yup! We sell like 2 copies of that book. I honestly don’t know how it’s still going on.

I think you take your job too seriously ;) Thanks for the laughs and I hope business is good.
Business is decent. It’s been a pretty good summer $$$ wise so I can’t complain. The downside is the summer also brings in lots of people just wasting time but that’s part of the game.
Lol...thanks for reading my drivel Steve. Gotta have fun somehow!
