The $0.75 variant is the Canadian newsstand version, whereas the US newsstand version has $0.60 on it. Direct copies will have 3 prices on them: $0.60 US; $0.75 Canada and 25 pence for the UK.

I walked by the Metro Toronto Convention Centre yesterday and saw production setting up there. They put up a movie marquee for "Dawn of the Seven", so I guess we'll see a movie premiere scene. My phone's camera sucks so here's a picture I found from someone's twitter:

RIP. I used Desert Wind for CGC SS without any issues.

Wow, seller clearly did not know what they had.

What a crazy run-up for this book. The sequel, Venom: Let there Be Carnage, was originally supposed to be released this Friday. Sony has pushed it all the way back to June 25, 2021. Damn covid

Episode 6 is up right now at 8:15 EST

Awesome!

Ditto. Hopefully Jar Jar Abrams doesn't have a say in the next Superman film.

I checked last night and episode 5 actually dropped before 9 pm EST last night. I guess it's to accommodate viewers ahead of us in North America.

He mentions the $1 per book at the 1:12 mark.

A Canuck buck a book ! At least he recouped some of the cost when he said the Overstreet Price Guides were already sold for $2K. It was cool to see a number 1.

Hey, how about Ross Andru? A solid Spidey artist if there ever was one! I think he is like Jim Aparo, an underrated Batman artist.

I bought an original art page from Tom Mandrake off eBay back in the early 00's. It was page 25 from Detective Comics annual #5. A really nice page with a full depiction of Batman and him interacting with Commissioner Gordon. Tom was nice enough to throw in a few trading cards he did the artwork on and he even autographed them!

Really cool to have those subscription copies, especially the NM #87. I'd keep them in their state, even the NM #87. I had 2 subscriptions in the early 80's to Superman and DC Comics Presents. They just came in plain brown wrappers with my mailing address label on them. It would have been nice to have a polybag like your copies to protect from the elements. I don't think any issue would have ever graded above VF. Some arrived just horribly mangled. I was a kid, so the stories were more important than grade. Thankfully a local comic shop opened up nearby and I learned all about bagging and boarding my precious books!

One thing I have always been curious about is the ratio of copies with a regular smooth cut right edge versus the manufacturing defect of the ragged right edge. I have 5 copies of the book myself. 2 were original copies I bought from my LCS in Canada and they both had the ragged edge. Of my other 3 copies, 1 has the ragged edge and 2 have a smooth cut edge. I remember going through the bins of local Toronto shops and at shows and not being able to find a smooth cut right edge. I bought 2 copies from the U.S. off eBay back in the early 2000's and I suspect those were the 2 with the smooth edges, but I can't remember. CGC doesn't detract for the defect since the 2 copies I bought from my LCS came back 9.8 and 9.6. What are other owners' experiences with the book? Did Canada get screwed with the manufacturing defect?

Congrats and welcome to the club!

1. TOS #50 - Nice higher grade 12 center! 2. Amazing Spider-Man #101 - Since I don't own it. 3. GS X-Men #1 - Mine is a raw VG. So a 4.5 is a slight upgrade. 4. HOS #92 - I already have a CGC 5.5, but wouldn't mine adding another copy. 5. or 6. 1st Firelord or Killraven - I have no attachment to either character.

There was a really good Swamp Thing TV series in 2019 produced by James Wan you can look up. Unfortunately it was done after 1 season, but that does not reflect the quality of the series which IMHO was very good.

Probably want to add #102 to the list. It's the 2nd appearance of Morbius plus it has his origin. It's listed at $260 in the 2019/20 annual Overstreet. Only 100, 101, 121, 122, 129 and the price variants are higher between 100 to 200.

I found an Overstreet's Comics Price Bulletin from Spring 1988 that I saved. Groo #29 wasn't broken out. It's grouped within #27-35 with a price of $1.20. The title was hot back then since all the issues had an "H" beside them.

RIP to a legend. I really enjoyed Asterix as a kid!

I will definitely see this movie, having followed Bloodshot from the beginning. It's just so unfortunate it's coming out during a worldwide concern

I finally saw this film. I really enjoyed it! They really captured the look and spunk of Sonic. Thankfully they modified his look after the initial trailer dropped and they got a really good voice actor to portray him. Jim Carrey was great as the over the top villain, and thankfully they limited his screen time so we could get more interaction between Sonic and James Marsden's character. Looking forward to the sequel after the post closing credits scene.

Gatsby77's post was spot on for me. I also agree with thunsicker's follow-up post as I'm in the 42-52 age cited. I started collecting and reading in 1985 when Crisis on Infinite Earths came out. The Punisher blew up as a character the following year with his mini-series. I didn't collect it at the time, but knew about it from comic book store chatter. After that, he exploded with the Punisher regular series and then Punisher War Journal and later with Punisher War Zone plus so many one offs. I picked up Punisher regular series #1 just to read since he was part of ASM's Gang Wars and got hooked. He was as popular as Wolverine from that time to the early 90's. Remember when Punisher War Journal #6 & #7 came out with the biggest cross-over at that time? Wolverine & the Punisher! I know he has tailed off comics-wise, but hopefully the goodwill from Jon Bernthal's awesome take on the Punisher will lead to a movie from Marvel. He is clearly not appropriate for Disney +

Looking forward to these 2 guys meeting! Crossing my fingers for a scene with Welling, Hoechlin and Routh!
