Well I finally got the images from friends in the UK and can say this issue is confusing as heck. Cannot see why the push for the variants.
In fact it is a pretty standard Spidey Story but you throw in Annie, Spider-Man’s daughter. <!–more–>
So unless I am missing something big, the only real thing is Mary Jane wearing Regent’s armor for a brief period of time.
Original Story follows:
So a while back Terry Hoknes of www.hoknescomics.com sent me an email asking me if I knew what was up with Amazing Spider-man Renew Your Vows #5. He mentioned that it was odd for Marvel to do 1:100, 1:150, and 1:250 variants for a fifth issue of a mini-series. My obvious reaction was “Marvel must have something big up their sleeves.” Possibly a new character. I asked around some shops I am friendly with and everyone had the same answer, “Marvel has been tight lipped on this one.” Continue reading “Update: Amazing Spiderman Renew Your Vows #5”

So many choices when it comes to subscription boxes. We have been fans of Lootcrate and 4 Color Grails. DrunkWooky unboxes this months Comic Block.
Sorry, I was a little late this month. You may have seen the contents of this month’s comic block elsewhere, but in case you haven’t, here you go!
So, Four Color Grails is now defunct. They had great variants, but also some problems with their business model. Basically, the shipping was crazy expensive, the box came really late in the middle of the next month, and I wasn’t getting great Ebay sales. As long as that was the situation, I wanted to go with something cheaper. Two months ago I switched to Comic Block. Continue reading “DrunkWooky’s Comic Block Unboxing”
Force Friday has passed.. where all the nerds rushed out at midnight to gobble up all the good action figures to inflate the prices on eBay only to make us normal people who like to sleep have to just wait a few weeks until the prices come back down to real world prices. (Yeah, I’m a little bitter.. all I wanted was a Captain Phasma action figure.. ).
But behold, a Star Wars comic book is coming out this week, one that leads up to Force Awakens. So it’s still gonna be a great week (despite my 7 year old being sick all weekend) so let’s get on with the picks. Continue reading “Agent Poyo’s Picks of the Week for Delivery 9/9/15”
