Variant Edition Comics THANOS #1, SHRUGGED #1, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #0.1 Howdy! I have a bargain deal today for those of you who collect variant editions. Aspen Publishing is relaunching their highly popular SHRUGGED series with a new #1 issue. What makes this deal special for you is that Aspen really wants as many people as possible to sample SHRUGGED, so we can allow you pre-order these first two versions for the ridiculously low cover price of only $1 each! Just give a call to either Greg or Mario in our new comics subscription department, and they can easily set it up so you can receive these two cool issues of SHRUGGED the minute that they are released. You can call them (weekdays 9-5) at 303-455-2659, or write to them 24/7 at nice@milehighcomics.com. Shrugged #1 Regular Shrugged #1 Aspen Variant Shrugged #1 Mile High Because we made such a strong commitment to supporting their relaunch of SHRUGGED, Aspen also created a special Mile High Comics exclusive cover variant to SHRUGGED (2013) #1. Our exclusive edition is limited to only 750 copies, and features our Captain Woodchuck mascot in a very colorful background setting. Greg and Mario are accepting pre-orders for our exclusive Mile High Comics SHRUGGED (2013) #1 variant right now at only $6 each. I guarantee you that our price will rise to $9.95 on the day SHRUGGED (2013) #1 is released. Suffice it to say, placing a pre-order though Greg and Mario is always going to be your best way to get a great bargain on any upcoming new comics. While you are pre-ordering SHRUGGED #1, you might also consider asking Greg and Mario to save you a copy of THANOS: RISING (2013) #1, our latest Marvel Comics exclusive variant edition! We just signed the THANOS: RISING contract late this week, but this book is already scheduled to be released on April 3rd, which is just six weeks away. This title will be one of the lead-in titles for the upcoming AVENGERS movie, so it is going to be critically important. As with our other Marvel Comics variant editions, Greg and Mario can set you up with copies of this very limited edition Mile High Comics THANOS (2013) #1 variant for only $6 per copy. Here is a tentative shipping schedule of our upcoming Mile High Comics variant editions: WOLVERINE (2013) #1 - - March 13th GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2013) #1 - - March 20th SHRUGGED (2013) #1 - - March 27th THANOS (2013) #1 - - April 4th IRON MAN (2012) #9 - - May 1st Guardians of the Galaxy #1 Mile High Variant Wolverine #1 Mile High Once again, Greg and Mario can ship you any of these variants immediately after release at only $6 per each copy reserved. And as a quick reminder, we limit orders on our exclusive Mile High Comics variant editions to only 20 copies per person, and never wholesale our exclusives. All will be priced at a minimum of $9.95 on the day that they release, with prices then subject to rapid revision as our remaining supplies on hand diminish. Our first variant edition (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #666) is now at a list price of $124.95, so prices on our Mile High Comics exclusives do tend to rise rather quickly... Moving on to other news, Pam's inventory team is making such rapid progress on sorting and grading the 120,000 comics that I purchased on the East Coast last month, that I have already scheduled another quick buying trip to New York on March 5th-7th. I do already have two major collections (containing 40,000+ comics, magazines, and books) waiting for me upon arrival, but I still have time to look at one more collection during that trip if it is reasonably close to Long Island. Call Pam at 303-455-2659 if you think you have a collection large enough to justify my stopping by on this trip. I will also be in the New York are during the early part of April, with tentative plans in place to drive as far as south as Virginia during that two-week East Coast visit. Once again, call Pam if you want me to stop by. Speaking of back issues, our New-In-Stock and Premium New-In-Stock links have received so many additions this week that we are setting all kinds of records. So you know, I am guessing that we have already added a net 100,000 back issues into our website inventory since just January 1st. Simply put, the odds that we will have the comics that you are seeking for your collection listed for sale on our website right now are much higher today than in the past. Guardians #0.1 I now have a free comics offer for you that you may not think is such a big deal, but that I will absolutely guarantee you that you are wrong. Releasing next Wednesday is GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #0.1. This is the critical lead-in story to the actual GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2013) #1, which Marvel is telling us will be the key issue to the entire Marvel continuity during 2013. The writer of this exciting new series is Brian Michael Bendis, with stunning artwork by Steve McNiven (OLD MAN LOGAN and CIVIL WAR). Marvel gave such a great conference call presentation to us a couple of weeks ago that we upped our own pre-order on GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #0.1 by a stunning 1,200% the moment the conference call ended! Thanks to our having received those extra issues, I can offer you today a completely free copy of #0.1 as a bonus for placing any minimum $30 order with us over this upcoming weekend. Just ask for your free copy of GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #0.1 in the "notes" section of our online order form, and we will make certain that it ships on Wednesday with your order. Please do note that this offer will absolutely need to expire on next Wednesday morning at 10 AM, as I would not be at all surprised if that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2013) #0.1 hit $10+ in the secondary market within a couple of days of release. Here is the official Marvel description: Move over Avengers...the Guardians got this. Star-Lord. Gamora. Drax. Rocket Raccoon. Groot. ...and the Invincible Iron Man?! The Marvel Universe just got bigger as the legendary cosmic epic returns in the hands of superstar creators Brian Michael Bendis (Avengers, All-New X-Men) and Steve McNiven (Civil War; Old Man Logan). In this special prelude issue meet the man behind the Guardians: Star-Lord... and discover how this child of Earth became the leader of the rag-taggiest of teams in all the Galaxy. All setting the stage for next month's historic Guardians of the Galaxy #1. This is the start of something big, Marvel fans. I will close today's newsletter by letting you know that our very generous 40% off WOODCHUCK codeword sale will finally be ending, next Wednesday, at noon. Happy Collecting! Chuck Rozanski, President - Mile High Comics, Inc. February 22, 2013 Advance Previews of next weeks comics from Archie Comics P.S.

Place a $100 order and you can choose any three of the state flag variants.
