I have a pre-sale for the ghost rider #1 1:25. Does anyone know if the ratio variants are having the same issues?
Hard to say. Different cover = possibly different printer.
It seems to mostly be dark paper too. And incentives typically have a totally different/lighter back cover. I donāt worry about them so much.

3rd time in the past few months a book I pre-ordered pre FOC didnāt make my pull listā¦and found it on the shelf.
Iām trying to give them business, but Iām finding I canāt depend on them for single issues.
This week I picked up ASM 22 cover A.
Wanted Joe Fixit 3 EM Gist cover, but shops didnāt order it and I missed it pre-FOC. So Iāll have to find it online. NM copies Sold out at Midtown and MCS.
I did order the DCeased Purple Rain homage online.
Quiet week overall.
Anyone else get anything good?

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.

I am a bit underwhelmed with Devilās Cut. A couple stories were mildly interesting. Most werenāt. To be fair, itās hard to sell a story when they have like 6 pages max to do it.

Same. I just dont give a ā ā ā ā about this book. Itās all FOMO hype.
Thoughā¦I might pick up some copies when Midtown blows them out for 60-70% offā¦
What gets me is that there are two SDCC 2023 con exclusive versions that were sold in July. This one just came out; itās 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 Iām not a fan of it.

Iām 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 donāt feel so gimmicky like the Bad Idea nonsense.
Devilās Cut is a nice product. Itās a bigger book in page count and size. High quality paper. And, itās 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 Devilās Cut issue at my comic shop to check the stories out and the larger magazine-style size does grab oneās 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 #1ā¦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?).

Not a new book, but just happened to quickly flip through a dollar bin box.
Didnāt have the heart to take it for a dollar, so I just told them it was on the shelf and paid cover.

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 
with laser beams on their foreheads.
