I Like What You Got! (New Comic Day Pickups)

Beware the following issues are rumored to be the latest victims of crappy marvel paper this week:

Captain Britain #2
Iron Man #4
Planet Hulk #5
Sabretooth #5
Thor #32

Possible manufacturing defect on some of the Indigo Children books this week.

Check the back before purchasing.

Saw this in 1 of 3 shelf copies today.

Was hoping to snag the one per store Devils Cut. Neither shop ordered copies.

Anyone else get anything good?

It’s not a 1-per-store…

I am a bit underwhelmed with Devil’s Cut. A couple stories were mildly interesting. Most weren’t. To be fair, it’s hard to sell a story when they have like 6 pages max to do it.

Same. I just dont give a ■■■■ about this book. It’s all FOMO hype.

Though…I might pick up some copies when Midtown blows them out for 60-70% off…

What gets me is that there are two SDCC 2023 con exclusive versions that were sold in July. This one just came out; it’s not the first print or first to be sold. I know other companies have sold con exclusives before the planned release of a book, but I’m not a fan of it.

I’m 100% ok with DSTLRY. Hell, any new publisher that can push Marvel to step up their weak game is a good thing. I like that DSTLRY plans to try new things, but they don’t feel so gimmicky like the Bad Idea nonsense.

Devil’s Cut is a nice product. It’s a bigger book in page count and size. High quality paper. And, it’s nearly all story. $10 seems more reasonable here. Marvel is now charging $10 for their double issues, which still has the same low grade paper and 35% ads.

I picked up a Devil’s Cut issue at my comic shop to check the stories out and the larger magazine-style size does grab one’s attention. I plan to give it a read.

I have more books on order, but this is what I grabbed off the shelf today. Disappointed they put an advertisement across the top of spider-boy #1…wtf?

Some free-bees. I think the Gotham By Gaslight new edition comes out next week (?) and this is a promotional copy (one per store?).

80’s nostalgia… you should love it!

I’d rather win a new bike like with Rogue’s first appearance!

Not a new book, but just happened to quickly flip through a dollar bin box.

Didn’t have the heart to take it for a dollar, so I just told them it was on the shelf and paid cover. :grin:

Technically these came out last week, but I opened them up today.

Is Dr Doom riding an armored T-Rex shooting a laser Out of its mouth?! I like the throwback silver surfer cover as well. Reminds me of my younger days.

And all Doctor Evil wanted was sharks :shark: with laser beams on their foreheads.

Yes. They discovered the Dinoverse…a universe where villains and superheroes have dinosaur equivalents!

I was going to post something about it in the spoilers, but I’m not sure if they appeared in issue 12. It’s a cool book nonetheless.

Well damn, I’m into that. Take my money, now!

My local shop that hooks me up had another Deadpool 6 for me and the 1:50 Ben Harvey Phoenix #3 for the sum of $14 out the door. Love that shop.
