I know what I said, lol. I’m not a good gambler. I’m the guy who bets on red and black at the roulette wheel and watches as it lands on the green 0 or 00.

So where is a good place to see what books are FOC for Marvel now?
Sorry if it was mentioned prior.
It will become a shell of its former self. The only viable part will probably be the Gentle Giant/ Diamond Select Toys division.

So basically, if you work at Diamond, be afraid… be afraid… and get your resume ready.

It’s about to become a much smaller company. They either admit it early and deal with the downsize well or they drag along a scale of operations that can’t be sustained until there’s real heartbreak for those involved (employees).
He’s already been in the MCU in Guardians of The Galaxy.
“Over the years Chthon’s influence has spread far beyond Earth to many civilizations all across the universe. Many times, Chthon has used various host bodies to influence events to benefit his own plans, with each of these hosts being known as The Other . One of Chthon’s Other host bodies came into the service of the Mad Titan Thanos, and through The Other, Chthon advised the Dark Lord in his quest to find all six Infinity Stones, believing that Thanos’ plans might benefit his own. Chthon worked alongside the dark lord for years as Thanos’ second in command and a leader of the Chitauri, however The Other’s service ended when Ronan the Accuser killed Chthon’s Other host body.”

Not sure about the rest of you all but if I was working at Diamond, I’d probably would have started looking around the time DC pulled out…

I am not much of a gambler myself. Most of what I do in comics is price arbitrage rather than speculation - the difference is buying just after the news drop rather than buying before. Also, buying variants based on ebay prices rather than at FOC. I make less than most speculators but the price gain is more certain on the books I buy.
Sometimes, it is a no brainer e.g. Spawn #303 Singapore Con edition (limited to 200).

Yea, I see they are on the FOC site now. Weird.
Diamond will probably just fold their comic distribution into their game distribution with Alliance. They can survive if they do that.
Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme 90 (last issue) is another book to look for - ‘The Birth of Cthon’. Been a good seller for me not $$$$ but $$

Respect your choice of what you like, but dogs plus John Wick works for me. Probably due to starting a non profit dog rescue in the day and being an animal advocate, but no hate at all.
