Welcome to this weeks spec. This is where we pick the winners each week we (or shall I say myself) think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover.
Marvel Picks
The next big event book is Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6). Might contain some surprises. These I no longer go heavy on and I wait for them to hit the Marvel Unlimited app to read them entirely. I’ll only pick up copies if there’s some heat on individual issues.
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Werneck Women of Axe Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Momoko Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Gleason Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Ron Lim Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Jack Kirby Hidden Gem Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #1 (of 6) (Brooks Virgin Variant)
Now there is some talk about Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6), which might have some firsts. Already past FOC and out August 10th, might want to grab a copy or two just for the gamble.
TFAW still has the following available for pre-order:
Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6) (Lubera Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6) (Reilly Window Shades Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6) (Momoko Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6) (Witter Men of Axe Variant)
Axe Judgment Day #2 (of 6) (Romita Jr Variant)

Iron Man #21 solicits a new villain called Switchback. Hmm….

Star Wars Han Solo Chewbacca #4 (Garron Pride Variant)
