Thoughts?

They are both the same, but sports cards have new hot multiple rookie card keys every year, while in comics not much since The Walking Dead #1 came out over 20 years ago. With sports cards that get more multiple hot rookie cards in 1 year or 2 years than comic books get hot keys in twenty years.

To be fair, as much as I don't love his art I have to acknowledge that his art to a significant degree defines 1990s art.  Despite his lack of technical ability he still brought something to the art form, helped sell millions of comics and attracted a lot of fans.

Agreed. He always has he is the creator of Deadpool. He is set for life at age 55.plus he has one of the best comic podcasts going now. Always at least an hour dive, not one of those cheap 10 minute quicky Youtube videos.

When Spider-man 2099 came out these autographed copies were set up in a display stand at my local by the distributor, the goober thumbtacked every one of them to the display punching holes through the bags and boards and the board has stared to flake at the holes.

1st Spiderverse

Really? Is this becoming a sought after book now? Gees I sold my low grade copy of this in a bundle for a few bucks effectively recently

Never gave it much thought and I haven't looked it up but I kind of assumed Madame Webb's first appearance kind of started the Spider-verse. Were there any other variants before her other than the clone?

I frolic and I dance and I do this with my pants--

1st appearance but only on the cover.

Pinhead
