At less than .50 a pop, I'd say so, esp with some of the variant covers.

If you're trying to collect them all it's a decent start, but you can often get this stuff cheaper (as some of the bastiches around here are aware of).

The Prime run has gone for as high as $20, and as low as $3. Same with Nightman. Bro J got six of the silver foil covers for a couple bucks once; other times they go for a few bucks each.

Make sure you read those Breed minis. Those are great comics!

A 'fair' price but some patience can get most of it ALOT cheaper.

The whole 'variant' this or that isn't a great excuse...many of the variants are right there in the quarter bins.

Is there a site that lists Malibu variants?

I didn't realize that Ultraverse printed that many different comics. I wonder what the shipping would run for a lot that big?

Probably more than the books are worth. This stuff is more prominent than Valiants in the bargain bins. I've picked up a few here and there, but what series are good reads?

Man, I wish I could find 'em around here like that. I'm not sure why there are so few of these in my area -- I've gotten almost everything from eBay. Anyone got a Prime Gold Hologram they want to sell?

A few of us here have cobbled together a good list (I'd say at least 99 percent accurate) of all Ultraverse books. It's posted over on DF1's site.

Also there are Continuity, Bravura, and of course Defiant and Broadway lists.

Don't pee in our pool, though. :x

That's not even all of them. There are tons of variants, and a few regular issues they left out.

And another thing ...

Ultraverse has no key books ... no Harby 1s or anything even close. No Solar 10s. No Magnus 12s. No Bloodshot 51s. They are all commons.

shipping on that shouldn't run more than $25 - 30. you can ship a long box media mail for about $15 - 20.

Don't be fooled! There are some hard to find issues among the Malibu/Ultrverse/Bravura line. Like that Capital City Prime ashcan I sold Depluto, for example, among others.

I have some good issues for sale under my Independant list, for mostly 25¢ each, but Knightt just cleaned me out of some good ones, on the cheap! (like 23 issues for $7.50!)

I still have the BREED sealed TPB! It is VERY hard to find still sealed, & worth the $10 I'm asking for it. Admitedly, there are many 25¢ books, but the BREED TPB ain't one of them.

I also have a cool Comic Shop News celebrating Ultraverse's 1st Anniversary (nice cover featuring many characters). Plus there is a bunch of Ultraverse promo stuff I have in 'The Vault', including buttons & posters. I sent Knightt a couple of posters with his last order.

Although there is limited interest in this stuff, it is still hard to find (& some of the stuff people never knew existed!). I'm selling it all, & once it's gone, I doubt I'll easily find any of it again. Most of this stuff has been in my 'Vault' since it came out in the early 90's. I've got three large boxes of just promo posters! :thumb: ---Steve

Actually that happened to me as well. I know there is "forgot your password" link. Try that, it worked for me.

After that I changed my password for all of my accounts to "password" so that I wouldn't forget again. It's worked great so far.

I don't. I give all my money to my wife. I'm not sure what she does with it.
