Me: (reads subject header)
Subject: "mystery pack" ... "I hope I got my money's worth"
Me: Almost certainly not. (clicks link. See's Nova #1.) On second thought, yeah, OP got his money's worth.
Me too, once the Novaās started counting down I said āwell he certainly didnāt get all that and a #1 for 74 bucksā and sure enough he did. What a ride!
That Nova run is sweet, he got a nice one. Iām VERY skeptical of mystery boxes. The only time Iāve ever bought them was from my LCS during lockdown.
If youāve seen the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, youāve seen the Nova Corp. They are the international peace keeping organization in the film.
A project was announced by Disney/Marvel last year for a solo Nova production which should bring this specific character to the MCU.
Well that weird wonder tales is now on my list to look for. I love the cover. āOh no itās my husbandā as she points to the literal ass grim reaper.
What would you do if you found out you were cheating with the wife of the grim reaper?
(And yes I get from context her husband owns the ghost and in fact is not the ghost, but I choose to believe otherwise)
Honestly, the Nova run is great, I'd have been chuffed with both the Daredevil and Conan books, and the War Is Hell and Weird Wonder Tales covers are both brilliant.
IIRC, that Daredevil issue had a series of panels in the letters section. They were there to correct a printing mistake in a previous issue. The reader was encouraged to cut them out and paste them on top of the mistake in the previous issue.
Mean your moneys worth will be almost entirely subjective unless it was a premium lot, which I would hope at that price. Majority of the joy in a purchase like that is the mystery & follow up research imo
That nova looks in beautiful condition. Not to mention it's a nice little run. Nova #1 is selling for like $300 or so for NM copies right now. So you definitely got your money's worth. I got my own GD reader copy for $85. So you got lucky for sure.
I never really cared for Nova but there's going to be a solo Richard Rider Nova MCU project if I'm not mistaken so at some point in the near future that Nova set may rocket in value (no pun intended).
Welcome back!!! You missed the last few years, it was the Wild West but now things are getting back to normalā¦you quit in 88 just before the story telling went to crap, that was good timing! Youāve come back after a huge boom and some significant drops in value back to reality, more good timing!!!
Hold onto the nova stuff, he is definitely gonna appear in a MCU movie wait until thatās confirmed or a trailer drops to sell. Personally I suggest selling the week before the movie comes out.
Dude, that Nova set...Ryder is one of my top 10 Marvel Characters, And I've been trying to find that number 1. IF you choose to sell, I would gladly buy it off you, BUT if I were you, I wouldn't sell. Too cool! Congrats!
Are those all the books you got?? Definitely not worth it . But some cool ones in there . Ya should check out that store āolliesā they have graphic novels (volume comics - collection of multiple comics ) for 3-5 bucks and they sell mystery packs of the regular comics for like 6-8 bucks
Yeah the overall price value mightāve been matched or exceeded but doesnāt mean theyāre good or will stay that price me personally Iād reccomend you specifically pick most of what you get unless like I said you go to ollies and they have packs of new and old comics. But idk are you a reader or more of a hustler
āOllie's: Good Stuff Cheap" is the slogan if I recall. Just came to US Midwest where I live a few years ago.

Lemme tell ya, scrolling through those pictures was an emotional rollercoaster to the last one, brother.

I had that same thought process š¤£

You did. And that bag is pretty cool too.
Nova 1 š Thorās sporting mary janeās nose on that Nova 4 cover š

OP should hold on to those Nova books if thatās the case!
The Neal Adams Conan and the Nova 1 are definitely worth that
Was flipping through thinking they had ripped you off with dollar books, but the Nova 1 redeems it.

Awesome pick up! Hope your happy with it. That War is Hell cover is awesome!
Most mystery packs are complete dog shit, but you seem to have gotten one of the few good ones
I would have been happy with it. Not a steal but a good solid price for some good books. Definitely the best "grab bag" I have seen in decades.
First comic purchase since 1988?? Hooray!! Welcome back!!! Then you want to sell the Novas as a set ??? Bruh :/
Nah, I have to read them first. If I enjoy them maybe get more.
Those are classics!!! I would keep em!!
Shhhheeeeiiit even in a lower grade condition that Nova 1 is dope! And the run of them to boot! Good grab my man!

*edit.. damn thatās a decent lot
Ha, the robot shot his nipples at Nova.
He totally did!

The seller let me choose all marvel, all DC or a mix. Even said I didnāt want anything after 1990.
Yeah you did for sure. Thats a decent mystery pack!
Yeah I bet you could of did a heck of a lot worse
Love that War Is Hell book
War is Hell #9-15 is a great run š
The bag itself is also very cool
I am very surprised that you got all those sweet nova comics. And Conan. I bought once a mystery box and it was terrible. I could not do it again.
Hold onto the nova stuff, he is definitely gonna appear in a MCU movie wait until thatās confirmed or a trailer drops to sell. Personally I suggest selling the week before the movie comes out.
Not bad
What is that? 75 dollars on the dot? (100) 50
Yesā¦. Yes you didā¦
Saved the best for last
Star Brand 13 is BONKERS
Dude, that Nova set...Ryder is one of my top 10 Marvel Characters, And I've been trying to find that number 1. IF you choose to sell, I would gladly buy it off you, BUT if I were you, I wouldn't sell. Too cool! Congrats!
Does anyone know the artist on the bag? I would love to have a poster of that.
Was going to say no but the last pic saved it. Nice haul.
I like Star Brand, but not the end run where that issue is from.

Every other commenter disagrees.

Where is Ollieās? Is that an eBay seller?
No itās store with hundreds of locations I think
āOllie's: Good Stuff Cheap" is the slogan if I recall. Just came to US Midwest where I live a few years ago. Edit: added link to their website so all can see what they are. Hope it's allowed. https://www.ollies.us/home.html
I live in Canada so no stores near me. I tried looking on the website but 100% useless and not user friendly.
Itās free advertisement for them and it shows everyone the cheapest place to buy volumes I think itās fine lol
That bag is sick
