    Your point at the end is huge. People need to remember how they got into collecting... no one jumps straight into ASM 3, ASM 14, ASM 50, etc. They start with random run fillers of characters and stories they like, then eventually work their way up to major grails. No one is saying these Rivals books are major grails, but they're getting people into the LCS. They're gateway books.

    I am living proof that people who previously had no interest in comics have been going to comic book stores for the first time. I wanted to look for Loki comics there, and I was also interested in asking the workers if they’ve seen more visitors since Marvel Rivals, and they have! It’s so cool, but what I would love to see is a reliable graph or chart showing the growth as a result. It really fascinates me

    I find this absolutely fascinating like you, Swagglehaus. I never would have thought of a bridge between video games and comic books. Cartoon shows? Yes. Toy lines? Yes. Video games surprises me, because my students who are major video game players hate to read, so I assumed that to be true of all gamers. Clearly I was wrong.

    Magik became my second fav character in fiction, and my overall favorite Marvel character, since Anna Taylor Joys portrayal back in 2020. Im also a Magik main in MR too. Ive had my copy of New Mutants 14 CGC Newsstand edition for years. I dont have to worry about FOMO with her. Currently hunting down a CGC Newsstand copy of Magik #4 1984. I do feel bad for those that will have to spend exorbitant amounts of money for the A list characters. Im excited for people to discover comics and give rise to the B and C listers. Bring them to the big screen.

      @@JediFarce I did snag the virgin ltd to 450 from Sad Lemon earlier this week, it sold out in like 45 minutes or something. I haven't gotten the $100 metal trade from Keenspot though, bit too much for me. I'm so glad they put the virgin cover out because that cover is so awesome. I bet the metal looks cool with that blue.

    Never thought I'd see the day that Malice would be speculation fire, but here we are. I did spec on her years ago as I believed if they made a Fantastic Four film, Sue would eventually become one of Galactus heralds...also that 1st full app. cover is so pretty.

    @Whalewraith 6 дней назад +1

    Invisible Woman spec should be from #371 up for about about a year she had the super hot costume with the '4' boob window. It got filled in with colouration after that. Censored? Colouring error? Was the boob window in the first place a colour error?
    As for Magik, insanity that the book is going for more than the 1st Magik, 1st Darkchild and her joining the New Mutants combined.
