    Went to my 3 LCS yesterday afternoon. All sold out in the morning. One is the biggest shop in the UK and would have ordered 100+ copies on an average issue of WD (not knowing it was the last issue). Usually they will put a limit on a book like this but it must have been a feeding frenzy. Even saw non comic collectors coming in off the street asking for it.

    Thank you! I saw the ASM on the plate but could not make out the numbers by the time i spotted it and was wondering which issues it was.

    Not at all. I hated fat Thor too. Just pointing out that Twitter "post credits" thing isn't in the movie. MCU movies seem to be hit and miss with humor. Usually too much. Thought this one had the right balance (of course being Spidey he'll always weigh in on the side of more comedy).

    You know that's not the end credit scene right? There are 2 and they actually matter to the story in a big way.

    Still have my high grade run of 1-40. Bought new off the shelf so whatever happens I'm not losing anything. #1 will always be a key book even if it halves in value.

    Thought it was great. Much better than the first one and better than Captain Marvel or Endgame. Just the right balance between action, plot and humour and most of the jokes worked. Mysterio was very well done. My only criticisms are the same as the first one. Mainly the supporting cast being so far removed from their comic counterparts. If they didn't use the comic names I would be fine with it because movie Ned, MJ and May are great characters, just not the comic versions. Flash is totally miscast. Also again having Peter rely on Iron Man's tech - sigh. He's a genuis, maybe not Reed Richards or Tony Stark level but having all the suits being "given" to him takes something away from the character. 2 big post credits scenes you need to stay for.

    Biggest WD spoiler ever. You have been warned

    Well Seng posted it on Facebook so the cat (or bat) is out the bag. It’s Batman based on Jim Lee’s artwork for one of his trades. It might not be for everyone but Jim is my favourite Bats artist along with Adams. Love the sculpt and pose.

    Wow forgot about those. Yes i really hope Marvel will use something similar to that but still room for improvement.

    Do you guys think that Marvel will use the comic costumes when they go into the MCU? It's been one of the most frustrating things that Fox never had them in costume.

    What I didn't understand
  12. Anfield Fox
    Agree with all that. I really don't get the hate. I'll miss Fox's darker movies for the family friendly MCU.

    All the eBay ones are sealed in the bags.

    Can't find a pic anywhere

    If you are carrying 6 figure books, sure. But for most people I would not want to carry that around all day for the average comic haul.

    Didn't ask. Marvel maybe. It's a painted proto. DC one no, just a render so probably NYCC.

    Never been a fan of Lobo but that is an amazing statue. It's not crazy like Sanity was. Had to keep quiet about that for a year. More that they captured the character, pose and the artist who drew him perfectly. One last tease. It's based on a particular artists work.

    Either way I don't see this platform lasting much longer. It's too small a niche for such a big market. Taking on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu (never mind the smaller ones like CBS) and with the likes of Disney and Apple entering later in the year is crazy. Worse still they are doing it without their big hitters Batman and Superman which is like going into a fight with one hand tied behind your back. Titans? Doom Patrol? Swamp Thing? Most people have never heard of these guys. Besides it's not like there is a shortage of comic book shows on the air or even DC shows on other networks. It should have been a whole Warner Brothers streaming service like Disney are doing.

    haha It's Marvel so 1/4. But since you mentioned it there is one of the most stunning 1/6 DC statues coming too. I've passed on all of those so far but will grab that one.

    I read that it was to do with state tax breaks. NC promised them $40m but really meant $14m. https://www.cbr.com/swamp-thing-cancellation-north-carolina-accounting-error/

    Saw the painted version of an XM piece of a character people have been waiting for forever
  22. Anfield Fox
    There is a line in Dark Phoenix where this is referenced. They won't change the name. The name is 60 years old and has huge brand recognition. At least i hope not.
  23. Anfield Fox
    No need to apologise to me! Maybe to Jim Lee if he reads your post. Then again he’s laughing all the way to the bank based on the sales already
  24. Anfield Fox
    It's all on the right column. Different prices for different options. The one I wanted was $135 + shipping. Seriously considered it but just too expensive.
  25. Anfield Fox
    All great points. Shame really because it was so much better than I imagined due to all the above.
