PiercingMetal Thoughts: We loved the “Marvel Masterpieces” covers that adorned those awesome trading cards and I am rather certain that I have at least a couple of full sets of them in a box in one of my closets. I used to purchase complete boxes of the trading cards and after assembling a full set would divvy out the extras with other friends who were collecting so I could build up some more. Good stuff. These covers look amazing but as i’ve said already a number of times, I don’t really purchase all the variant covers anymore so I can keep the extra scratch for something else that’s on the racks or on display in the action figure section. I do want to send a word of thanks to the PR team of Marvel Comics who sent the entire batch out this time around. I’ve often said how having all the visuals helps the consumer find each and every one that they want. That’s all I’ve got to say about the matter but you can surely chime in down below and let me know what you think about them and which ones you might be looking to add to your collection. In other news I managed to check out “Black Widow” earlier today and highly recommend it to the fans of the Marvel Studios output. There is one bonus scene at the very, very end of the film so don’t leave early if you go. See you next time, be careful out there.
