Shining the Spec-light on:

The Plot 1- Vault Comics

Releases: 9/25/19

Vault Comics kicks off their anticipated Nightfall horror imprint with The Plot 1 co-written by Michael Moreci and Tim Daniels with art by Joshua Hixson.

Early reviews, as with many of the Vault books, are strong with 6 reviews averaging 9.5 on Comic Book Roundup.

While Vault comics have traditionally low print runs (the first issue of their recent The Mall 1 was right around 6,000 copies), this hasn't really translated into significant speculator profit, with a few exceptions (some of their Vault Vintage titles, and some of their optioned books like Heathen and Vagrant Queen.)  The early previews, word of mouth and push that this particular book is getting makes me think that this could be their next true breakthrough.

The Covers:

A/B/C

A

While the 'B' House of Secrets Vault Vintage variant may be most sought after, the cover 'C' may end up being the 1 to acquire for both aesthetics and scarcity.

Store Variants

By now you know the drill on store variants.  While these are listed at a printing of 250 (and with only 100 of the NYCC hyper-exclusive), unless you want one for the PC, the buy-in rarely warrants the resale potential.  I am a HUGE fan of the store variant from Exchange Collectibles however which is an homage of The Witching Hour 19 .  This cover evokes some of the same vibes that I got for the These Savage Shores 1 2nd print variant (Tomb of Dracula 1 homage.) It is available through their site directly for $12 +shipping.

NYCC (100 print run, $100)

Exchange Collectibles (250 print run, $12)

Additional Store Variants Limited to 250:

All three regular covers can still be found for face value on the 'bay.  They are sold out at some of the other big online comic shops however.
