PiercingMetal Thoughts: While this upcoming storyline is of great interest to me, I’ve really curtailed my additional copy purchasing at the local comic book shops out of necessity so will be bypassing all of these awesome variants. Maybe when next years New York Comic Con rolls around I will see if any of the featured artists have these copies at their tables so I can have it signed right there. This is assuming that we are actually able to have a 2021 New York Comic Con. As you know, this dreadful pandemic has forced the cancellation of so many things and the NYCC was one of them. Without being grim we should expect this to be the course of action for most things for a while to come but I digress. Wrapping this up, I will say that I will most likely be picking up “King In Black” when its collected into a single volume. What are you readers thinking about this one? Is it of interest and do you love these covers? Chime in down below and I will see you the next time around. Please stay safe out there.
