Is it Igby or is it Me Who is Collecting the Comics?
About two months ago my son discovered Marvel Zombies and the Ultimate Fantastic Four. I was tickled by his enthusiasm and had no problems indulging HIS new interest. I started researching the comic series on line and we started to frequent comic book stores around town looking for the books.
With in two months time I had managed to get my hands on the first printing of Marvel Zombies #2, #3, and #4. This weekend I came across the first printing of #5. It’s the cover with Zombie Spiderman and the bride. All I have left to find is the first printing of #1. I would like to get all the variant covers too. I have quite a few of them already, but it’s the first printings that are the big prize for me. So I will be out on the prowl for the first printing of #1. After this collection I will move onto The Ultimate Spiderman.
I also have had my eye out for Starship Troopers Marooned part 3 due out this month. This one is of particular interest to me because one of my best friends and artist extraordinaire has done the color work for the cover. Now my opinion about Freddy Lopez might be a bit bias, but if you ask me I think he is one of THE MOST TALENTED colorists out there.
Starship Troopers is due out this month. So find the nearest comic book store and buy the issue before it sells out!
Your Local Comic Mama,
