I have just been looking at a nice walnut and glass display cabinet on Argos for the boy’s PSA Pokémon cards though... and possibly other such things like Warhammer figures. And comics. Of the Ninja Turtles variety.

Issue 1 is £1.99 and is a hardback copy of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, which is a fun read for less than two quid.
I enjoyed Punisher KTMU a bit more, but it's still fun to see how they'd get The Merc' With a Mouth to dispatch everyone.
It also comes with a small magazine about the character.
80 issues with the remaining at £9.99 means I won't get further than issue 1, but a bargain is a bargain.
[MENTION=7037]Soundwave[/MENTION], any use to you?
Definitely not for me though, can't stand Deadpool
Has got up there with Wolverine & Harley Quinn as most overused & overrated characters in all of comics
Can't stand any of them

This comes from 2012, a good four years before the first movie came out so a bit before over-saturation of the character.
There's a funny bit you'd like where Deadpool's fighting Wolverine and says it's not his regenerative powers that have saved him over the years, it's popularity.
I read it last night and I'm sure you could pick holes in it like Spider-Man's Spider-Sense would have saved him and Hulk has turned from Banner form to save him, but it's just a bit of fun.
Well, I say that, but it's actually quite dark. There's not many gags in it and it's quite full-on.
It breaks the fourth-wall, but more than the usual "talking to the reader" trick, it plays with a lot of comic practices and rules.
Deffo worth it for £1.99, but I'll read the second half tonight.

The rest of the stuff in the last few years has just made it even worse for me

Currently spending a bit of money on some slabbed comics that I have been after a while.
Action comics #1000 - I got sent this in error. The seller apologised profusely for sending me the incorrect comic, and said I could keep this for free! I’ve taken a quick look on eBay and its about £120, so nothing to complain about there!
A nice Adam Hughes cover.
And finally, an issue that I’ve been after for quite a while. Great design.
Got a couple of more coming in the post, so I’ll post them once they’ve arrived.

How much was said premium if you don't mind me asking?

Needless to say, there is a copy on eBay now for £30 less than what I bought mine for. So what do I know!

These, until very recently, did not come up for sale in 9.8’s very often, and with the artist ‘Lau Artgerm’ becoming a ‘hot artist’, I feared his early work, such as this cover, becoming sought after by other collectors, thus driving up the price.
