At the store my manager opened up this weekend, I noticed he had a copy of issue one rather highly priced. I didn't look at it outside of a glance, but I don't know if it was signed, an exclusive copy, or what, but it was at, I believe, $60. Then he has like, issues 3, 4, and 6. So I didn't get it but was surprised to see it that high. I've heard amazing things though.

Very few new series are selling like that. In the past decade, the main ones that come to mind are: Invincible, Walking Dead, Chew, and Morning Glories. Skull-Kickers came out last week and has the potential but it's not showing what Morning Glories showed last month when it debuted. Ironically enough, all those series are from Image (or at least I think so). I guess Image generally undersells their titles and prints a low first run which means once it hits big, the first issues shoot up like crazy.

I try to keep a back-up list in the back of my head of what the folks around here recommend buying. Still intend to pick up The Boys. ^_^
Not sure how far along Chew is by now but I'll be picking up its trades whenever I see them. It's refreshing to have a light-hearted comic with such a fast pace and unapologetically f-ed up werido characters.

You should pick up the Boys just because of Darrick Robertson, he was an awesome guy.
Although, so was Garth Ennis.
