Well thought I'd buy a bunch of stuff while the dollar was up and before the pollies get us in the budget next week !! Mostly looking for sketches. First go at Marvel Now! as it was on special, and a few others I wanted to try more of. In the end I did pretty well I think...
Game of Thrones S2 Not fantastic auto's , and already had a Sam, but happy to get Rose "You, know nothing John Snow..." Leslie.
Thor Dark World has been good to me, and seems to have good value in most boxes. I got jipped a hit in this one, so hoping UD will come to the party with a replacement. But still can't complain, did pretty well. Here's the materials and a plate - nice to get Sif's, even though I already bought them, DOH! Might just do a set of the materials, so the extra's can go in the Sif PC.
Sketches were -
A nice Magneto by ??? (any ideas ??)
And Malekith by David Hindelang
And the last hit from Thor was this nice one !-
Bought one box of Beginnings 2 which netted me a Fantomex hologram and this odd looking sketch. Not sure on the artist or character as yet...
Even the freebee boxes of Kree Skrull delivered something -
I think that's Human Torch and Vision by Gilbert Monsanto.
One box of Women of Marvel 2 snagged me my first two piecer from that set - and it's a Phoenix PC hit to boot !
Next up my first stab at Marvel Now! While I still think this product is overpriced, it was on special so I gave in. Have to say it was a real fun break, I like the cards. Not so sure about all the comic artist auto's and no guaranteed sketch hit, but I went 2 from 2, so no complaints. No Red's, plates or SP's that I know of though...
Autos- Got reasonable characters at least.
Ron Garney on the first two, then Will Sliney, Mike Deodato Jr and Steve Mcniven
On to the sketches, really liking these two.
Great looking Wolverine cover by Harold Edge
And a nice Psylocke by Joel Gomez. This card loses a bit in scanning, the background etc looks awesome in hand.
Finally, some 2014 Marvel Universe. Got a couple of Shadowboxes - Spiderman AGAIN!
Not sure of the character in this Juno Sanchez one ???
And a pretty cool one by Vince Sunico - I always thought Storm and Wolverine were buddies ?? !
And this was the highlight of MU - really nice Wolverine by Jason Potraz and Jack Hai.
So that's it for a while...until GoT3 comes out....LOL
