Brainiac and Riddler are classics! For Scorpion, do you mean first comic appearance from Mortal Kombat, or is there another villain named Scorpion I'm blanking on?
Omfg that’s a gorgeous copy! Those background covers don’t hit like they used to. The pinks are up there with the green and purple covers. Stunning! And what a score with Gorilla Grodd, classic DC baddie
@Caits.Comics This book has sooo much going for it. That bright pink catches your eye even if you're not familiar with the book. It's just a shame Grodd didn't make the cover!
First off, I really don't think you talk too fast in your videos. In fact, it would be worse if you talked too slow in videos. Everyone's attention span has degraded due to social media! About a year and half ago I was lucky enough to get first Reverse-Flash and 2nd Sinestro (first cover) and then Action Comics 340 which was first Parasite. Don't sleep on Parasite, I say, they are running out of villains in movies and tv shows for Superman to fight. As for what I would like: I would like to get the Italian version of first Venom because the all black cover is better than the US version. I also would like to get ASM 238 at some point, too.
That is very good to know. Thank you very much! And I agree on those picks. Parasite is a very cool character who is also front and center on his 1st appearance. I have my eye on a copy but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I also got lucky scoring Reverse Flash. And while he definitely has his fan base, I feel like a lot of the comic community sleeps on Sinestro because of the cover
I have a Batman Rogues Gallery. However, it's from the Silver Age as the real first appearances when in the Golden Age which are just too expensive and unattainable. I mean I would live a Batman 1, just not ready to sell my house to get one. I have been trying to work my Spiderman gallery. I did recently pick up the first Kraven and Green Goblin, but I still need big ones like Amazing Spiderman 2, 3, and 6. I also recently got the first appearance of Braniac (Action #242) which is pretty cool. Keep plugging away.
@rodnicker I feel you on that! It's been awhile since I focused on my spidey keys since even the lower grades go for good money. Kraven and Goblen are great rogues. And I am jealous of that Brainiac, awesome addition to your collection!
Nice!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Saw the cover in the minipic and knew instantly that we are gonna talk about 🦍 Grodd! And a book from -59 in a 6.0, pure joy 😊 Congrats on this one👏 3 Villain book picks for me: Mongul, Deathstroke and Sabretooth/Memphisto( I couldn't decide)
@ThingComics It's such a shame because it does have a 1st appearance on the cover, just not the one you want lol and those 3 books are fantastic. Deathstroke and Sabretooth specifically I feel are underrated
@@ConlinsComics on the other hand,like you said in the video, it is easier to get if it is undervalued or I don't tell it before hand 😅 And it is a shame that Grodd didn't end up in the cover...
Congrats on this awesome book, I’m very jealous as a Flash fan. For my top 3 villain books on my radar would be the first Captain Boomerang, first carnage, and first silver age appearance of the riddler. I do plan on grabbing mostly all of the Batman villains, or at least as much as I can. I did pick up a super cool book over the weekend I can’t disclose until my video comes out. But it’s off to get cleaned and slabbed so I don’t even have it on hand😅.
@BrokeBoyComics Thank you! And I LOVE Boomerangs first appearance and cover. You're one of the few other people I know that actually loves The Flash. Can't wait to see what book you snagged!
My ultimate grail is Action 252! But in terms of villain, I would love Batman #1, Wonder Woman #6, Action #23 since I already picked up my faves who are luckily a bit more affordable (Ivy, Harley, Black Cat)
@Caits.Comics Action 252 is one I would like to try to track down on my short list. I need to catch up on my Batman villains though. I've been tracking down alot of hero 1st appearances I want before James Gunns DC universe really gets going and they potentially are more expensive later!
I got my holy grail earlier in the year so finances are tight now 😅 that being said, my budget picks are: - 1st BA Hugo Strange - 1st Hector Hammond - 1st SA Catwoman
@domnarcissi3373 I understand that all too well lol what was the big grail pickup? And while I love Hugo Strange and Catwoman, I definitely had to Google Hector Hammond. Looks like The Leader mixed with MODOK!
My goal is Action Comics 340, 1st Parasite, because it’s the only issue I’m missing in my run from 288 to now. But finding a decent copy at a decent price is proving impossible. Do you have Superman Annual 11? It’s the one with For The Man Who Has Everything. It’s just a great story whatever form it’s in.
@twatson8709 Awesome pick and it's both exciting and crazy that 1st Parasite seems to be the popular pick from responses so far! I, too, am trying to hunt down a copy. And yes, I do have that annual! It's just such a very well done read
Impressive book. Nice find. Congrats.
@Matt_Likes_Comics Thank you sir!
Great video.
Dc got some doc doom level villains which will of course come up -
1. Sinestro
2. Reverse Flash
3. Brainiac
@@comicfanagain8405 Those are 3 great picks. I think some people sleep on Sinestro because he's not on the cover even though he's a huge villain
First Brainiac
First Scorpion
First silver age riddler
Brainiac and Riddler are classics! For Scorpion, do you mean first comic appearance from Mortal Kombat, or is there another villain named Scorpion I'm blanking on?
@@ConlinsComics I think he means the Spider-Man villain
@Matt_Likes_Comics Thank you Matt! For being a big spidey guy, I have no idea why my mind went blank on Scorpion lol
First Metallo, First Scarecrow, First SA Catwoman
@@Matt_Likes_Comics All awesome picks! Now, do you mean Metallos 1st appearance, or 1st appearance of Metallo as we know him today?
@@ConlinsComics Metall's firsst appearance overall; it's in Action 252, first Supergirl
@@Matt_Likes_Comics I love that book. One day!

I've always wanted to get a decent copy of Flash 139 and ironically watched you buy one on James sale, haha. Nice grab, Conlin!
Wow impressive

Lovely book mate, for me it's Batman 121 all day long
@johnmoran6418 love that book. One day I'll check it off the list!
First appearance of Bizzaro -Superboy (the true first appearance) or Bizzaro adult
@@Matt_Likes_Comics Bizzaro from Superboy All the way!
