What do you thnk of Marvel's "Fresh Start?"

Although I do see how it would be a very convoluted process to ret-con the current continuity, I would like to read the new #1s to see how they go about it and whether the "new stories/origins" are as captivating or inspired as some of the originals.

I've been having the following issue since the last build.

When viewing "my collection" I click the tab to sort publishers by number of issues and it still shows results by value per publisher as well as when sorting by alphabetical.


using firefox on my laptops
also happens on my android phone.

Hmmm, based on my avatar I might be a random comic bot inflating the numbers. Is there some kind of test I can take to make sure?


1. Is your first name Siri?

2. Do you need to consume organic matter to replenish your energy supply?

3. Do you have a copy of NFL Superpro keeping your coffee table level?

4. You aren't secretly copying your self onto other programs to eliminate a guy named NEO are you?

5. How do you feel?

My implanted false memories tell me no.

If by organic you mean pizza and Oreos, then yes.

3. Do you have a copy of NFL Superpro keeping your coffee table level?
Unfortunately, my coffee table is buried under and surrounded by comic books so I can't tell.

4. You aren't secretly copying your self onto other programs to eliminate a guy named NEO are you?
NEO. I hate that guy.

5. How do you feel?
Like I am but a mere speck in the wasteland that is our digital lives, floating directionless through the ether chasing after imaginary dreams and hoping that there is a greater meaning to this existence we call life. I should order a pizza.


LMAO! I guess that counts welcome to the human race! Ironically we are also having pizza tonight.....

and I just got back from my LCS with a short box full of trades and floppies mostly back issue floppies but I had to get the spider-gwen lenticular cover for #25! Venoms back!

oh and

A "floppy" is a reference to a single raw issue as opposed to a trade paperback or hard cover. I got it from oxbladder he uses the term quite often, I picked it up from him.

I'm mostly a completionist, but also a combination of married and look there's a squirrel and a little bit of an investor as well.

I don't generally buy-to-flip but I will sell books that I've read and no longer want in order to parlay them into new books.

Yeah.... the harley quinn one is especially weird cause they used the boston comic con variant cover and,
put a standard bar code (no plus 2 or 5) in the bottom right corner.


Plus the only reason I keep bringing it up was that the rule used to go strictly by what the idicia had in it, now it's kind of muddled.

Also the comic apps seem to be a bit behind on the variants as well CLZ has yet to add about 7 of these to their DB.

I could add them manually but when I do they tend to get separated into their own series. IDK why.

I have a few double covers. thanks for the link KDS that's a neat site.

Also not sure where this falls but my copy of new x-men #128 (1st fantomex) has a fold that's not fully trimmed the two center pages are not cut completely so it won't open.

Walmart 3 Pack Comics?

Now I'm just waiting to see if they get more I doubt it but if they do I'll be scooping up the marvels for sure. and any Batmans.

Has anyone bought two of the same packs to see if there are different issues in the mix?

I don't know if it's random or if the same three issues wound up in the packs across the board.
