Latest ongoings.
Interesting to note that on the Punisher Warzone cover, there is no sign of Thor, whereas the other Avengers are being 'buried'. Thats probably relates to the previous issue where Frank runs into Thor, and gets a Tiger Uppercut from the Norse God as a means of getting his attention.
Random purchases.
Already got Issue 4 & 6 of Hawkeye, so I'm trying to finish the storyarc. BlackAcre has been getting a lot of attention on some other boards that I frequent, so I thought I would give it a whirl. New X Men 128 has the first appearance of Phantomex, who is a bit of a bizzare character.
Been wanting to get into Chew for a while, but early issues, especially 1, are crazy money for a modern title. However, since the announcement that the tv series is not going ahead, I'm thinking (hoping!) some speculators will start to unload their copies at reasonable prices. I've got Issue 32 and on, on my pull list (the series is intended to be a 60 issue run), so that side of things is sorted. These issues were the only ones in my LCS, and I've managed to bag a couple of other cheap issues off ebay which I'm yet to receive. Due to the prices of the earlier issues, I envisage only buying 1 or 2 issues a month, so completing the first half of the series is going to take some time. Not sure how I am going to procure issue an issue 1, in fact I try not to think of that at all!
Lastly, Revival issue 2(!) to 6. Yeah thats right Garrz, like a sucker, I paid through the nose for that issue!
Talking to the owner of my LCS at the weekend, and he was saying that some guy came in during the week and bought ?4K !!!!!!?!!!!! worth of mid to high grade silver comics off him. And he's going to come back again in a few more weeks for another splurge?!? Makes my Revival No.2 price look like a drop in the ocean!!
