Despite being a number of shows behind based on my hectic schedule, we just loved all of the Netflix Marvel Television shows that aired on the streaming service over the last few years. Sadly, “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones”, “Luke Cage”, Iron Fist” and “The Punisher” were all cancelled and now its time to move on from them.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This is pretty cool news for the diehard fans of the shows that once aired not so long ago on the streaming service. I admit that I am sad to have seen them go away but as an ardent supporter of the larger vision think that in time we shall see these characters again as they continue to expand the Marvel Cinematic and Television Universes. Of course by that time they will likely all be recast but it would be cool if some of the mains could return but I digress. I’m not the biggest memorabilia collector when it comes to stuff like this as I’ve no place to properly secure and display it. I envision the eventual Ken’s Man Cave with a wealth of the stuff I’ve kept over the years but I am no where near in executing that vision at this time. I am sure most of you NYC readers can feel me on the space issue. I was surprised to see no Jessica Jones or Defenders stuff in the mix at all but perhaps by the time that the auction actually happens, more trinkets will find their way to the auctioneers block. I do also hope there is some sort of printed catalog since I love those. I still have my KISS Auction catalog from a number of years ago which is my only relic from that auction. Closing up I wonder what you readers think about this and will you be looking to purchase anything. Feel free to chime in down in the comments below. See you next time.
