Ssalefish GSO First Look #138 for 11.27.19
Above are just a selection of the items that will be available only at the 600 participating retailers worldwide starting Saturday, November 23rd at 11 AM for Local Comic Shop Day (the complete list is available at the link)! Just to clarify, these are not free, this is not Free Comic Book Day part 2 (that’s Halloween ComicFest). Print runs are determined by the publisher, not based on orders, so some of these are extremely limited, as low as one (or zero) copies per store.
The Power Rangers blind box on the left contains the Shattered Grid deluxe edition hardcover that’s limited to 500 copies and is already backordered at the distributor, and the set of Year One & Two hardcovers on the right has sold as high as $400 in the last year and is limited to 750 copies. The DCeased hardcover in the middle is limited to 1,400 copies and is actually a different cover, not just a new dust jacket. New Mutants #1 has sold out nationally and the variant is limited to 1,000 copies. The Absolute Carnage virgin variant is a 1:20 ratio variant to the regular Absolute Carnage exclusive cover AND limited to 500 copies worldwide on top of that. The Walking Dead special is the only canonical story by a writer other than Robert Kirkman, and that writer just happens to be Saga creator Brian K. Vaughan. And even I get got with the Bill Sienkiewicz variant to Hazal & Cha Cha Save Christmas, a standalone Umbrella Academy story.
And remember, that’s just a FEW titles!
