I doubt it's a production defect, but it's likely getting dinged regardless.  plus a spine tic on the back cover

CGC 8.5

The seller listed it as a 9.2 but I knew it may be a reach.. That sucks! At least it was cheap! 😆

Ah well!

Is that some very light foxing on the back cover? I’m guessing 7.0/7.5

So the book has a flawless front cover minus what I believe to be a production issue on the TRC as shown in pics. (Dull cutting blade?) the back cover is really nice for a black cover but does have a none colour breaking tick at the top. Lastly, the pages are white as snow! So, can it be a 9.2/9.4 or is that TRC issue too detrimental ? Thanks in advance guys! 

9.2/9.4 range 

Those McFarlane ASM issues and their black back covers are killers. Spine ticks stick out like a sore thumb... I think in my opinion, the book is an 8.0.

Why?

Because she's a woman.

Not at all. Notice my typo: instead of “it” I meant to write “or” (I meant to include the original Captain Marvel who was a man).

To me, Hulk is “the strongest there is” followed by the Asgardian GOD.

I have no problem with strong female characters. I loved Claremont’s Storm. She lost her powers and was still a butt kicker who led the X-men!

It's an intense look that more suits a darker-minded character such as Batman.

You’re spot on. Artists should mostly draw Superman the way Morrison and Quitely interpreted him in All-Star Superman. A being as powerful and as invulnerable as Supes shouldn’t  be tense all the time. He has nothing to fear and should be calm and relaxed.

The bird's there to have at least one thing in the pic screaming for no discernible reason.

Thanks Adamantium!

If the "current" heroes couldn't defeat him in Infinity War, why the hell should they be able to do so in Endgame..?

Even if Thor did go for the head this time, the Russo Bros already said that the Infinity Gauntlet can fend off Stormbreaker if Thanos doesn't underestimate its power.

It's gonna take more than who we're already seen to take him down. Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock would be a good place to start tipping the scales in the direction of heroes' victory.

Edit: And we have literally half of the heroes at the beginning of this story as opposed to IW, so the odds are even worse with what's left. They need more (and more powerful) characters this time around.

Actually, in a way, the current heroes are still in the process of fighting Thanos. Don’t forget that Dr. Strange saw only 1 in millions of scenarios in which Thanos is defeated. He willingly gave Thanos the time gem cause that’s what was needed to happen in order for the heroes to win.

The key was saving Tony cause he has an important role to play. Otherwise Strange wouldn’t of sacrificed his stone. (This despite him telling Stark earlier on that he wouldn’t sacrifice the stone/mission for him). 

In essence, to triumph over Thanos, half the heroes had to ultimately pay the price (temporarily). Perhaps this causes a relieved and fulfilled Thanos to drop his guard....

"Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe." This was after he lost the scepter and had 0 Infinity Stones to his name, and the Kree knew about Captain Marvel at the time, since this was set in the 90's and GotG was in 2014.

I'm not a fan of Captain Marvel being more powerful than Thor in this universe. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, though. I would think the God-King of Asgard + Stormbreaker can't be matched hero-wise.

I agree hole heartedly with this. No way any Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers it Marvell) should be stronger then Thor or Hulk...
