Anyone know much about this and what it's worth? Has some pretty cool information inside... just lists of artists and their work...

This was published by Alternate Concepts, an indie publisher that released occasional material for about 10 years from the late 80s to late 90s. Most of their products were various collectors' guides or checklists, but they also dabbled in sort of fanzine-style publications and, eventually, their own comics (of which the "best" known is probably Legion of Stupid Heroes). Unfortunately, I don't think this -- or anything from Alternate Concepts, honestly -- has any market value to speak of. Still a neat piece of collecting history, though.

I went box diving today and found this uncanny xforce but I've seen it in others pick ups and don't really know the story

I have found those psylocke covers in the past but it was a long time ago and didn't pick up but one or two I think

I also found all new all different point one #1 with maestro on the cover it's the 1st blindspot, so I didn't pick it up but thought, ah man it's not the 1st ms marvel

All these  were at cover price, incidentally the maestro cover is $5.99 cover price so idk why I thought that was a lot but meh anyway lol

They also had invincible iron man #4 with riri at cover might have been the 2nd app but lol

I'm lost hahahaha on moderns it seems :shy:

Love this series, and these covers. I remember back when I was putting this run together, #4 was the hard one to find, and copies were selling for $30-$40. I don't know if it's still that expensive, but I still don't see them very often.

Have you checked the issue 6 did you get lucky?
 

what's the deal with issue #6? Also damn I'm jealous of the street shark #1s lol

The book was recalled/reprinted due to a wrong inserted art page. Its like the Hack Slash My first Maniac 4
the pages are out of order and don't make sense. I had 5 copies and only one error.

Specifically, pages 12 and 16 are switched in the first printing.

EDIT: There are also two printings of #1 because the first sold out. I think they are distinguishable only by the indicia but it's been awhile.

Not a dollar box exactly, but I think it counts. My LCS has a section in the back of the shop where they sell sets of comics. There are often good deals to be found here, if you're willing to buy a big run of books, as they often don't break out the "hot" issues, they just sell the run as a run.

Stopped by the LCS today, while everyone was crying about Last Ronin being sold out, I made my way to the back. Found this set of Star Wars KotOR 18-44, for $39.99, plus 10% off. So it comes out to about $1.40 per book, or thereabouts. I haven't been keeping up with all of the SW goings on, but I knew that issues of this title have been popping lately, so I took a chance. Looks like I did well! Not only are some of the recent hotter issues like 25, 31, 34, 40 and 42 all present, but about half the run are newsstands! Yippee! Condition averages out to VFNM, there are a couiple of VF/VF+ books, and a few true NM, so all in all not too shabby.
