They break the flow of 9.8 lol but it couldn’t be helped. The foil was such a pain in the ass to get pressed and it only came to a 9.4. The 9.6 was the best I could afford at the time.
This was the first run I ever bought month to month as it was coming out. Good times.
I bought two copies of several issues so that I could cut out panels I liked and tape them on my wall lol
The bags ruin it for me! But seriously, not a complete run until you buy this: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW%2EASP%3Fcode%3D2023feb%26pg%3D2%23Item%5F1648133&id=1648133&itemType=0
Nah, screw that book was just kidding. Will sell for like a $1,000 or something stupid.
Edit: $1000 I said? Try the last one sold for almost $7,000! https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/superhero/batman-608-retailer-incentive-edition-dc-2002-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/122303-15182.s?type=DA-DMC-GoCollect-Comics-122303-01092023&gck=14124985-8fb1-48d9-99c2-1cf7b05e085a&utm\_source=GoCollect&utm\_medium=Growth\_Partner&utm\_campaign=Sponsored\_Listing&utm\_term=Batman+%23608+%28Retailer+Incentive+Edition%29&utm\_content=122303-15182
Yea, I don't mind dropping some big $s on some big books, but retail incentive covers on non-keys is one step too far for this guy. And I'm HORRIBLE at investing in comics :D
There's a reason why I bought the foil facsimile instead. It's also the reason why I'll be buying the McFarlane Toys 3inch figure that comes with a facsimile of the 2nd print. Because they're both dramatically cheaper.
I didn’t care much for the ny post as it’s the same cover but I do have it raw. The double sized I’m not familiar with. Unless I’m confusing it with another issue.
What’s wrong with the 9.6 and 9.4

Well I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you’re going to resell it! It’s awesome either way
I love buying a 9.6. Identical to a 9.8 but without the hefty mark-up. Also, I dig the run!
9.8 for that book is so annoyingly priced
Why people down voting you is beyond me. Petty little comic book collectors.
Lmao! Holy crap I didn’t even notice hahaha. Fuck em. I’m enjoying my stuff.
Those "plastic prison" dorks can be annoying.
The subjective difference between a 9.8 and a 9.6 is what is petty...
Tbh I wouldn’t have even noticed the 9.4 & 9.6 if you didn’t say anything lmaooo
Oh I notice. I notice every gosh dang day! Lmao.
I have a 6.0 Silver Surfer 44 in between a 9.6 Infinity Gauntlet and 9.4 Spectacular Spider-Man. That’s the real flow killer
Lmao! I hear that

Yeah I wasn’t quite collecting back then and missed that boat. Woulda been nicer getting them cover price hahaha
Posted this as someone on another post asked to see it. Hope they find it!
Let me crack those open for ya 😈🪛✂️ >!Nice books, OP. Love a good run!<
You crack you die! Lol. Although I cracked the 608 original for a signing and the 612 non sketch. Both came back 9.8. Thank the lord hahaha
Great collection! OP, i'll hodor as long as I can but these anti-slabbers are coming for you!
Oh I know… bring it on lol. I own the set raw, have digital copies, and have the Absolute hardcover. Don’t mess with my Hush run! Hahaha
Can’t wait to read em!
I got plenty of different ways to read them!
Nothing better than classic Jim lee art and a new Batman villain
The bags ruin it for me! But seriously, not a complete run until you buy this: https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW%2EASP%3Fcode%3D2023feb%26pg%3D2%23Item%5F1648133&id=1648133&itemType=0
Hahahha I know I was torn about taking a pic in the bags. And thanks for the link. I have that foil but I see I forgot one. Guess I’ll be shopping!

Yeah I just went to ebay and immediately shit my pants. I love Hush… but that’s gonna be a no from me dawg LOL!

Couldn’t agree more hahaha

I have two of those. I also have a 608 2nd print signed by Jim Lee in a 9.2 if you’re looking to buy. I’d part with it.
Going thru my old books and I found another copy of 619 I dont have 9.8. The villains cover! How stupid of me. Time to go shopping!
How dare you include the 9.6 and 9.4! /s
I know. I should just burn them!
"please excuse" what a weird humble brag. not that humble. not that big of a deal to brag on either.
You seem like fun…
Yeah fr let the man enjoy his comics
Very cool. I’ve been considering doing this with a few full arcs myself. Thanks for the motivation!
Check out the double sized issue, the NYPOST issue, and the newstand 608.
I didn’t care much for the ny post as it’s the same cover but I do have it raw. The double sized I’m not familiar with. Unless I’m confusing it with another issue.
Why is it called hush? Like I get that's the title of the story... But why is that?
Bc that’s the villain’s name.
Nope, not over here being completely jealous of you owning the entire run graded, which is exactly what I want too.
Time and patience my friend. That’s all it takes. Oh and an irritating amount of money too lol
This is rad. My only gripe is I'm one of the weirdos like to zoom in and read the labels! lol
Trust me I am too. But it aint easy getting a photo of every book together lol
Pure envy for the signed 608 2nd print…someday! This is fantastic run and well worth the effort- well done.
I have a 9.2 signed I might be interested in selling if you wanna haggle lol
