      Frank-en-Castle is So a Gimic Character that I don't see lasting a real Damn Long time ...., Marvel Kinda Stole from themselves, It's Almost Deathlok ripped off imo .


      What About the Great Idea to Strip Wolverine of His Adamantium ,.. thus Propeling His Body to that of More of an Animal, because of How Old he was..., but then no one Knew how Old He was. ... & Dig the Stupid Mask too ? ... I completely walked away from X-Men when I saw this,.. for a Long time. ..

          Bringing Bucky back.

          I have mixed feelings about the Captain America TRUTH Mini Series.

              I'm really shocked that the gimmick covers haven't come back yet as limited variants or retailer incentives.

              Although again, Marvel isn't the only guilty party when it comes to variants and enhanced covers etc.

                          and then watch them 20 years from now sky rocket (for some absurd reason) in price

                            I don't doubt that they will skyrocket in price down the line in that time-frame, but it won't be for some absurd reason.

                            If Obama lives an average life-span, they will undoutably spike in value when he passes away (hopefully of natural causes twenty years from now).

                            Case in point, who remembers this?

                            There was actually a demand for these when Reagan passed away.

                            I'm also sure that scholars of African American History will have a field day in the future digging up all the kitsch surrounding Obama.

Although given the love of monsters, I think it might be more fondly remembered... on par with Marvel Zombies as a fad (or Cap Wolf, as dumb as it is, you often do see it refered to with cheesy affection).
                              I thought I dreamt Black Punisher but it really happened, wow. This was the reason I got all turned off on Marvel, very gimmicky and if a character became popular, you would get flooded with him. In the eighties it felt like they were simply the "Punisher/Wolverine Comic Company".

                              I didn't care for either character.

                                Although for all the dozens of gimmick covers littering the landscape today left over from the nineties, there are a handful that stand out as quite wonderful amidst the refuse.





                                I think these were among the first and best.
