Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Tomorrow’s spiderman has leaked early. Along with the civil war 2 Fcbd release.
Anything worthy? I’m too lazy to search.. I’ve been in front of a computer screen all day today.
Only read civil war, very disappointing.
Didn’t read Spider-Man yet, but last time this guy leaked early it had the new suit, spider car and doc oc’s return.
I finally caught up on ASM this past week, it’s not terrible writing and storyline but I still don’t like this international spider-man stuff.. I like Peter back in New York.. leave the international stuff to Iron Man.
Anything good? Want to share?
Rhodes dies and the new Wasp costume debuts.
Thanks. Rhodes dies. Wonder if that is a clue to the movie.

Ah, Kyle beat me to it.
It’s terrible. The dialogue is the worst. None of the characters feel like themselves. The frame where she hulk gets hit with a stray rocket is literally laughter loud hilarious. She dies too apparently. Thanos seems pretty nerfed, and has a gun. Oh and the future seeing inhuman rumours are true.
If this sets the tone for civil war II, count me out.
Planned pulls for tomorrow:
Shield
All new inhumans
Batman/superman
Batman/tmnt
Hellblazer
Gwenpool
Spidey
C3po – I’m with tony, red arm line was the best
Spider-Man
Autumnlands
Was reading the comments and found myself spoiled on the Civil War FCBD special. I would be upset, but those spoilers are so predictable and honest I don’t really feel anything. Is that worse than being angry? Also, that does make me think we can expect bad things for Rhodes in the movie for sure…
I meant to say, “Honestly,” not, “Honest.” Sorry, bad grammar irritates me. I tries to talks good.
I highly suggest Black Road. Picked up the ECCC variant over the weekend. Definite sleeper to check out.
Awesome. Thanks for the tip. The preview looks good and I have liked his previous Viking books.
I must have missed that one at ECCC. Damn it! Picked this up today since anything Viking related is my jam. You should see my shrines to Odin and Thor…
I almost pulled this title but opted out because my pull list has gotten so darn crowded. I knew I was probably missing something good by skipping it.
I’m grabbing:
Monstress #5
Black road
Blade Bunny – Antarctic Press
I was looking at Blade Bunny.
Izombie was great tonight, this weeks pick ups……………
Batman Adventures Coloring book #1 1st Harley Quinn in print. So this predates BA #12 according to some people and is in comic form. Anything that has potential of being considered 1st appearance of Harley Quinn is a must!!! this can be found cheap $10-$30 it can also be found for hundreds of dollars get on it now before the cheap copies dry up. Also this is a coloring book so how many of probably already a low print run have been destroyed with coloring over the last 24years.
Strange Tales #126 1st Dormammu and 1st Clea. Wanted to get this now in case Dormammu showed in tonight’s trailer, trailer didn’t answer the what Villain is in the movie yet question. But with a reported Trilogy of Strange movies to come I’m sure will get a glimpse of Dormammu in the MCU sooner then later.
Marvel Premiere #5 1st Shuma Gorath Another shot at a Dr. Strange Villain. Read a report that there’s going to be big baddies in the other dimensions Strange travels to. Shuma Gorath is the big baddie that is ” ruler over 100s of dimensions” I’m pretty sure Dr Strange will cross paths in one of Shuma’s dimensions at some point in the trilogy if even for just a quick cameo.
Amazing Spider-Man #299 1st Venom cameo. Have #300 have been lacking this for years figured it was time to pick it up. Paid $25 NM
Amazing Spider-Man #162 1st Jigsaw. This book is 40years old if they announce a solo Punisher Netflix series this book could quadruple price overnight if Jigsaw is the shows villain.
Doorway to Nightmare #1 1st Madame Xanadu
Flash Fastest Man Alive #1 1st appearance of upcoming villain Griffen Grey.
Flash #127 1st cover Grodd.
Flash #165 Wedding of Barry and Iris off of blind Adams recommendation.
Batman Mask of Phantasm 1st appearance of Phantasm can’t go wrong with Batman villain 1st appearances.
Batman: Harley Quinn 1st appearance of Harley in DC continuity. From the looks of the Suicide Squad trailers looks like this book’s story is going to play out in a big chunk of minutes in the upcoming movie, making this book a double key.
Also picked up a couple more Hulk annual #6s and will be picking up hip hop and regular cover of Gwenpool for sure going to pass on the incentive variants unless I find them on the shelves.
Batman/Superman #31
Batman Ninja Turtles #5
Erathune #1
Gwenpool #1
Moon Knight #1 (have been looking forward to this for a long time)
Darth Vader #19
Blade Bunny #1
Jackpot #1
Do you guys think Moon Knight will eventually make it to the small/big screen?
I think Netflix is combing the Marvel street level heroes.
I’m not generally into superheros but my shop was really pushing Moon Knight on me. I passed but they had my curiosity piqued.
Anybody know what happened to the Eric Powell variant for Moon Knight 1? I see hints of it online, but can’t seem to find what it looks like.
I think the 2011 Series had an Eric Powell variant but people may have been confused about who was doing the cover for this one.
I take that back. It was BLACK KNIGHT 1 that had the Powell variant.
Picking up:
Pretty Deadly 9
Monstress 5
Gwenpool 1 Paris Expo (coming in the mail)
Gwenpool 1 reading copy of whatever I happen to find on the shelf
Neither of my 3 closest LCS’s ordered 50 copies of Gwenpool, I guess because they still have stacks of the Holiday Special dud and didn’t want to get burned again.
At least I got the 1:25 variant and the Moon Knight #1 1:25 which looks amazing
Lcs wanted $60 for the Stacey Lee Gwenpool (once you see the toilet, you never unsee it). Instead, I picked up:
Justice League America 31 (2nd Adam Hughes after Eagle 6)
Solo Avengers 12 (1st Amanda Conner)
Gwenpool 1 Hip Hop
Only got to go to one store today, it only had one copy of Moon Knight left(action figure) I passed because I already pre-ordered it. So I called my main Shop and told them to put a copy of House of Penance #1 and a copy of Moon Knight #1 in my pullbox. My in store pickups included…..
House of Penance #1 I flipped through it looks good
Spider-Gwen #7 connecting and #7 act. fig. they only had one copy of the act. fig. left so I picked it up
Deadpool #9
Poe Dameron #1
Plus a bunch of pre-orders I don’t feel like listing. I do like the Gwenpool hip-hop var. and I forgot to mention this last week, I got a package in the mail from Hoknes it had two Enormous variants and a really good looking Niobe #2 CHU variant.
Thanks for the support in picking up the Niobe CHU variant and a big shout out the Kevin at HoknesUSA for doing the fulfillment of those books.

Skipped the new Black Knight and picked up the Black Knight Vol 1 #1 in NM+
Sorry I mean Moon Knight
Lol. Just replied.
Moon Knight you mean?
Damn Lootcrate stealing money from my paypal I thought I cancelled last month… oh well hoping for a David Bowie Goblin King Pop. Is anyone getting collectors corps this month? On the fence about getting it, thinking maybe a Giant man bigger size pop could be in it. Anyone have any info on what collectors Corp may contain this month other then being Civil War themed.
Giant man already came out so doubt they would do it. It’s sweet too.

Just read black road #1 and it was not what I expect it. It’s missing something just don’t know what. Might get #2 just to see if I keep it or just drop it.
