ā€œPunisher #1 (2nd Ptg Maleev Variant) is also another cool 2nd printing for Punisher by Maleev. Such a great artist. But give that man some guns for crying out loud, The Punisher uses guns, not swords!ā€

I dunno, Issue #1 sold me on this new direction. One thing I found neat was reading/looking at the gun fight panels in issue #1. Just looking at the Punisher grimacing and gritting his teeth as he mows down his enemies, itā€™s clear heā€™s at war. You see it, you feel it. But him wielding a blade feels different. Heā€™s grimacing in just one panel. In all others, you see his cool calculation. Itā€™s like heā€™s no longer in battleā€¦ this feels religious. Itā€™s no longer carnage. Itā€™s sacrament. And why not pay tithings of blood to The Beastā€¦especially when The Beast has been so generous to Frank Castle.

Dude, Iā€™m sold on this run.

Art, as we all know, is firmly in the eye of the beholder. Having said that, I canā€™t remember a worse run of Avengers A covers. Sure, the Liefeld 90s stuff was something, but yikes.

Still showing out of stock to meā€¦

Has anyone seen the marvel books this week? Wondering if the paper quality problems continue.

I love how some people have no idea what is going on with SW HR #15 (2nd Ptgs) !!

Last Wednesday I went to my LCS and was like, ā€˜I FOCā€™d 7 copies of SW HR #15ā€¦, can I up my order to 12 copies?ā€™

They responded ā€¦ ā€˜If I have enough copies, sureā€¦, yeahā€¦ we ordered enoughā€¦ā€™

Word got out finally. LOL.

Hopefully my LCS fulfills my order, cause It wasnā€™t the last damned minute I asked themā€¦ :slight_smile:

I was calling it back on March 11ā€¦

Depends on what books you want to spec on?>

SW HR #1 2nd print- 1st cover app
SW HR #15 2nd print- 1st cover app
Both have him on the coverā€¦take your pickā€¦

SW #20 1st app
SW #20 2nd print- 1st full app
SW #20 1:25 1st full app, is probably the best spec book to haveā€¦

I got a few of all 3> SW HR #1 2nd print, copy of SW #20 1:25 ratio, SW HR #15 2nd printā€¦

Is that a typo, or did the appearance get ā€œfullerā€ from 1st to 2nd print?

Still wondering this myself. @CRUZZER or anyone still havenā€™t said why to buy.

SWTHR #1 2nd print has 1st cover appearances

Because I actually read Star Warsā€¦ and not buy just because it is the cool thing to do because everyone else doesā€¦ :slight_smile:

1st cover appearance of a Leveler ā€¦ While this is debatable since SW HR Eye of the Storm #2 came out same day, EOS #2 was more of background story.

Itā€™s the final issues of the Star Wars High Republic Phase 1. This gives a plot so when you start Phase 2, you know the background of the events of what left off.

Had Trail of Shadows #5 gone to 2nd print that would have been my spec. as well. A lot of those are still left on the shelves at the stores Iā€™m going too. I think the cover art for Trail of Shadows turned off a lot of peopleā€¦
