Others to watch for………
Vampirella Quarterly Summer 2008 Anarchy Studios/Harris Comic will release an early Halloween treat with this extreme variant for only $19. Extreme, like in only 500 copies made. Franchesco provides the variant; we provide the info, you provide the CGC insurance, you provide it for Ebay $$$$$,……now go buy it!
Sub-Mariner The Depths # 1 Another year, another Namor number one issue. This character can not hold a solo series. History has proven this time after time. The mini’s fare no better. He’s one of those heroes that need to be a role player, not the leader. Marvel promises the story of the ages for our water boy hero. Yada yada yada….. Maybe this will be the time? No. Will this be one of those quick hits? Yes. Buy, read, enjoy, sell.
Marvel Apes # 1 Marvel is going full tilt on this monkey deal. Pulling out all of the variants for random titles and not apologizing for it. It looks quite silly and forced. Maybe this will hit, maybe not, either way this monkey business will not stand on its own for long. King Kong, Planet of The Apes and Curious George among some others are the only monkeys to sustain the test of time. Sorry Marvel, you do indeed look like you’ll be slipping on a banana on this one.
See you next week.
Invest wisely.
