Guys…this incarnation of Penguin really puts him more on par with the heavier hitters in Batman’s rogues gallery. He’s always been more of a B list villain…until now! The last thing I want to say is: why aren’t people speculating on Long Halloween now, first appearances of Sophia Gigante??? Is it because this is t a movie, or because it’s not a MARVEL movie. I think a lil bit of both. Crazy to me how Marvel owns 90% of hearts and minds.

Interesting take on Christopher Nolan’s vision of Gotham, I’ve never thought of it that way. I think his Gotham had an overwhelmingly dark tone throughout the trilogy without it being literally “dark” or nighttime the entire time. I think he hit the nail on the head representing Gotham as if it were a real city without diverting from the darkness of Batman in general. But tbh the Dark Knight is ranked as one of the best films ever by the critics as well as in my heart, so I’m biased lol. Love the pod!

haha! Man GSXM1 I don’t understand at all. The cover isn’t good, Storm carries the first appearances (the rest are ehh, if they were split up those books wouldn’t have a demand, except storm) & theres soooo many on the census. And if I’m honest with Hulk 181, I’m just jealous cause I want it but I can’t justify the price 😂 it has a huge census, there’s never not a time where you can’t buy one & from low to high grade it’s priceyyyy, there’s not really an affordable price point for that book. Not to mention it’s not Wolverine’s 1st app I’m team 180 (but I agree 181 is far and away the better cover)

Always gotta love that FF #5! I honestly think that the most overpriced comic is by far Hulk #181. I believe that Wolverine as a character is only popular right now because of the Deadpool + Wolverine movie. It wasn’t a nearly as talked about book as it was when the trailers started coming out for the movie.
@uFELLAАй бұрын
You must be like 15 years old with no knowledge of comic history! You can research and see that Hulk 181 has been a HOT book for a long time, before any superhero movies. It was the textbook example of a book that soared in value due solely to the popularity of the character from the comics themselves, before speculation based on movies, despite the volume of books in existence (demand much > supply).

While I don’t agree with the FMV of Hulk 181 I think it’s one of the few marvel books that’s not impacted by the MCU in the long term. I think a horrible Wolverine movie could come out and it wouldn’t affect 181 at all. If an incredible Wolverine movie came out I’d say it would give it a short term bump bc FOMO is a real thing but generally it’s existing in its own realm above MCU influence
