PiercingMetal Thoughts: These look great and I’ve long been a fan of the Marvel Masterworks editions but I don’t have too many of them based on the price. I think I probably have about ten or so but that’s it. Considering the milestone that this initiative is reaching I did expect quite a few more variant covers but its nice to see three out of the proposed five. While I like them I will most probably be bypassing adding them to my collection since I’ve had to slow this kind of stuff down based on the pandemic. The extra comic book scratch just isn’t there so it’s a little hard to snag the variants. I was never all about those anyway unless it related to a KISS comic of course. So what do you readers think about this one? Do you have many of the Marvel Masterworks editions in your collection? Chime in down below with your opinion and please keep safe out there as we ride through this terrible storm together. See you next time.
