Assuming that the back cover is no worse... 8.5 IMO.

For me, Hiddleston is as synonymous with Loki as RDJ is to Stark. It wasn't gonna take much to hook me. I didn't think it would take 1 line, though. I was already semi-interested in this as I don't think it was announced to be a sort of 'prerequisite' to an MCU film. If I'm going to watch the Disney+ shows, I want them to be stand-alone-ish. I would want to be able to enjoy them in a vacuum. The other shows are, in my guess, going to end on cliffhangers. I could be wrong, but that's simply what it seems like.

I think that cracking the slab yourself is more beneficial. You can keep it tighter-packaged and help avoid SCS even more. And, yes, cracking a slab is pretty easy. I think @ADAMANTIUM has a tutorial video on-cue somewhere?

Great. Here comes Meth-head Scott Lang and Emo Peter Parker...

Super Bowl TV Spot for this did nothing for me.

I'll be honest - Loki saying, "I'm gonna burn this place to the ground" immediately got me interested in the series.

I thought that was really funny.

Not really.

"The Avengers weren't my first family."

"superstar"

I gotta say that the trailer doesn't look that awful... How is Han alive? "Retcon just 'cuz."

Great. Here comes Fat Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Bruce Banner...

Progress: 52/1,000 Bruce Wayne: Fugitive (6 titles; 18 issues) Batman: Damned (3 issues) Superman: Year One (3 issues) Fugitive is drawn-out and lackluster story-wise. Some very odd anatomical drawing choices at times - but I think that most of the artwork is on the 'good' side. The Batgirl issues, in particular, are hideous and poorly-written. The entire thing should've been wrapped-up in half as many issues. IIRC, the Nightwing cover is absolutely gorgeous. Batman: Damned was a re-read. Mediocre story - just as I remembered. Artwork still takes getting used to. Superman: Year One. Well, issue #1 was a huge drag about halfway through. The artwork was 'meh' and the story was written like absolute garbage. So inconsistent. A couple of panels of good staging and then it seemed like someone without a brain took over. How is the dialogue and narration so inconsistent!? The back-half was good, though. I was hoping for less Kid Kent, though, and more adolescent stuff. Now, issues #2 and #3 are very good IMO. The artwork is great and the storytelling follows that lead. However... "The Earth farts"... I thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 issues of this mini-series.

I'm never grading a double-cover again.

When it comes to something particular, like a CGC'd comic book, the unique product should have a picture of it. Rarely, a seller might (intentionally or accidentally) put a picture up of a specific comic that is not the one they're selling. They may be selling a Batman #1 CGC 9.8, but ship the same grade comic with a different certification number. When someone "derails" a thread it means they're going off-topic. Like a train being derailed from its tracks.
