Runs of the Casualty storyline have been selling for anywhere from $50.00 - $60.00 on ebay, but that could be due to a lot of collectors sitting on there's waiting to see if prices go higher. Which they could. There's not much action on the Solve Everything storyline so if you were going to part with these I would do it as a solid run. From a collector's standpoint, I think you'd be best served by holding on to these. Hickman's run has been some of the best FF stories printed in a long time. Keep in mind, I'm a comic collector and trades, even big sexy hard-covers, don't always have the same appeal for me. With the new FF series starting soon I would guess the Casualty story line will probably maintain these prices for a while or go up a little. Wait a little longer and see what the prices do.

I've still got the Dark Reign miniseries, the Solve Everything storyline, and the alternate cover of 575, as well as the Casualty storyline. I like them, but I don't know if I like them so much that I wouldn't sell them if they're fetching the prices you said they were. What would you do - sell them and buy a trade, or hold on to them? Thanks, Andrew Matt,
