I’ve been on bit of a break, but it looks like the word on the street is true and Marvel Legends Avengers Wave 2 have been spotted out in the wild. This is going to be a huge wave because the BAF (build a figure) is none other than the Mad Titan himself, Thanos. It is hot off the truck today and is selling extremely well at the wholesale level so don’t wait too long. Remember one of the keys, first to market wins.

Raymond Olubowale Rumored To Play King Shark In Suicide Squad
Comicbook.com reported today that Raymond Olubowale is rumored to play King Shark in the Suicide Squad movie.
DC’s Suicide Squad may be adding another villain to its roster with King Shark, with actor Raymond Olubowale reported to play the role.
King Shark, first introduced in the 1990s, is a humanoid shark akin to Batman’s Killer Croc character. The character battled the DC Universe’s heroes until the publisher’s New 52 reboot, when he was then cast as a regular member of Amanda Waller’s Suicide Squad.
Olubowale is best known for his role as The Axeman in Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. While his role as King Shark is still unconfirmed, reports indicate that an official announcement could come soon. As to whether King Shark would be another Squad member, or another antagonist for the team to fight, is still unknown.
The first appearance of King Shark is Superboy #0.
It is a cheap pick up with many copies around $1.
This move has been a spec pick for a while now since he was rumored to be just a pass over character, but this means he would get more air time.
