Jon Says:

The most amusing thing about this one is that the Black Bag variant didn’t come in a black bag. Whenever that happens, they always apologize to me at the comic shop, as if I’m going to be scandalized by the nudity or as if I keep the cheap bag anyway. I might keep the bag for display purposes if it weren’t so cheap and flimsy, but as they are cheap and flimsy, I just toss them.

Also, my database had the wrong picture, so I had to take a picture of the cover and then Photoshop in a black bag.

Anyway, yes, there will be some virgin variants in a future Mail Call post because of course there will.

Jon Says:

As I’ve noted many times, I like these facsimile editions.

Also, it was very good timing on this one, what with the recent photo leaks from the set of Deadpool III.

No “Jon Says” on these Knight Terrors comics. It’s a summer event and I’m the kind of chump that DC relies on. It’s a bunch of different creators, so everything is of uneven quality.

The actual Silver Age Teen Titans were a lot of fun. We’ll see how Mark Waid’s version of the Silver Age – as filtered through modern sensibilities mixed with the way he wished things had been back then – compares.
