If you mean in a bad way…?

Maybe my memory is bad…but when was the last time Frank Miller wrote a compelling story?

The most compelling story he ever told was convincing Liefeld and others that the work he puts out now isn’t just a horrible degradation of once incredible artist but a “reinterpretation”. Greatest story he ever told.

Very limited Hollywood presence so not much in terms of news. That Spawn sold out in a couple hours considering the limit was 5. One of the longest lines that I had no desire to wait in. The only other exclusive I couldn’t get was the JSC because that marvel online que was such a shit show. Link wouldn’t work then the site would crash. Aside from that, was able to grab whatever I wanted. The signed Kirkman copy of Skinbreaker and Battle Beast from his panel was a nice treat. If only I had my copy when I went to Finch the next morning, because the guy after me had “first copy signed” on his.

Nope

Because it’s Shantae, great gaming series and everything Shantae is collectible in the after markets.

Doesn’t this have an 8/11 release date?

The retail version yes, the SDCC version was gold spot foil.

It appears that there was a 2024 SDCC version that had Gold spot foil; consistent with this 2025 iteration.
I kinda like them.

There is also a spot foil art of shantae hardcover that was SDCC exclusive as well and that sells for a pretty penny.

I really like comics with spot foils, makes it really pop. The regular foils we have can really hurt a cover because the colors can look so muted.

Absolutely, spot foils have always been the best, the only ones better are the mega foils that Coffin Comics do but those are basically just better spot foil covers.

18 and 19 may seem too close to 16 and 17 for some, but not to the law man!
