STAR WARS #11, DEADPOOL #1, Free CAPTAIN AMERICA (2012) #1 Howdy! I want to start off today by mentioning that our new 30% off HAPPINESS! codeword sale on most of our ten million back issue comics and magazines has been very positively received. We experienced a flurry of HAPPINESS! orders over the weekend, and that strong demand continued into this morning. We are also still selling the heck out of our trade paperbacks and hardbacks, probably because we still have their prices pegged at 30%-60% off. Please do enjoy these great discounts with our sincere thanks for your support of our efforts on your behalf here at Mile High Comics. I'll continue by mentioning that the deluge of "likes" that we have been receiving on Facebook for our new exclusive Mile High Comics variant editions has been nothing short of amazing! In just four days our STAR WARS (2015) #10 variant edition received 4,422 (!) positive responses, our SECRET WARS (2015) #6 received 1,872, and our upcoming DEADPOOL (2015) #1 received a stunning 3,198 "likes." The response to our new DEADPOOL series was most impressive to us, as we were initially only able to show fans black and white artwork preliminary artwork of the cover. Now that we have received the finished artwork, I think that DEADPOOL #1 may soon outpoll both STAR WARS and SECRET WARS. DEADPOOL (2015) #1 MHC VARIANT Even if you do not have any interest in collecting our variants , the extremely positive numbers that I just reported should make you happy. Why? Because it has been the strength of response to our program of publishing limited edition Mile High Comics variant editions that helped us bridge the financial gap created by Marvel's decision to not publish most of their titles this summer. Simply put, we were only able to maintain the steep prices decreases that I put into effect on all of our back issues last April because our variants program has been so remarkably successful. So, even if you have no interest in collecting our variants, you have actually benefited directly from their existence if you have placed any back issue order with us over the past six months. STAR WARS (2015) #10 MHC VARIANT For those of you who DO collect our variant editions, the past year has been remarkably successful for you as you have gained from steady appreciation in the secondary market value of ALL the variants that you purchased from us. Our program of publishing long runs of extremely limited edition variants on our selected titles ( STAR WARS, PRINCESS LEIA, SECRET WAR, and DEADPOOL ) required a scary commitment of our scarce working capital, but that risk is now paying off handsomely as we are seeing more and more fans who purchased earlier issues now signing on for advance subscriptions of all our future editions. SECRET WARS (2015) #6 MHC VARIANT What this means for those of you who started buying our variants from the beginning is a substantial gain in secondary market value, as our early issues are becoming increasingly scarce and desirable. At the Salt Lake Comic-Con, for example, we sold over $1,000 in our backlist Mile High Comics variant editions per day! That exceptionally strong response is forcing us to revisit our pricing structure on our Mile High Comics editions, as our goal all along has been to maintain stock on all of them for many years. At our current rate of sale, that now appears impossible. Our variants of STAR WARS (2015) #1-#6 seem most at risk of running out, as the release of the new movie is now only 11 weeks away. STAR WARS (2015) #11 MHC VARIANT All of the above having been said, I urge you to take two actions today. First, if you are missing any of our earlier Mile High Comics variant editions , it would be a very good idea to go ahead and order them from us this week. I will be revising all of our backlist variants prices effective next weekend. My second bit of counsel would be to start subscriptions right away to receive our upcoming STAR WARS and DEADPOOL variants. Our advance order price is only $19.95 each, which you are only charged as they are released. I have seen trailers for both the STAR WARS and the DEADPOOL movies, and I think that they are going to be huge hits. Need I say more?
