Hey, gang!
I’m back, after three months AWOL, with a new unboxing video uploaded to the YouTube channel!
Oddly, since uploading the video, I actually lost a subscriber! I literally did better when I wasn’t posting at all. LITERALLY!
Anyway, this box turned out to be mostly modern books — a few Bronze Age, but mostly Copper and Chrome, and mostly DC and Marvel.
Topics discussed include:
• A rant on streaming services, in video and in print, particular as relates to comic book content,
• When comics should be sold individually vs as part of multi-book lots,
• Variations of the 1990 Spider-Man #1,
• Differences between Marvel’s 1977 Star Wars series (Issue Nos. 1-6) and the actual movie,
