What's Buzz-worthy: I hadn't been back to the Ollie's discount chain store in a while to see what kind of comic book repacks they had until this past weekend, and ultimately while the IDW-DC packs had dried up a new wave of DC-only repacks had taken their place. The new wave -- I ripped a few of these and this is the first of several -- appears to be heavy on recent-years franchises such as Batman, Wonder Woman and stuff related to Black Adam/Justice League and the backs of some of these books (see gallery) showcase ads for films and TV shows where these books will look even cooler in slabs with comics content on both sides. Four of the 10 books here are variants -- something more and more and more common in recent years -- with so many they really dilute each others' value unless they are rare. None here ultimately are but that's fine when these were ultimately pocket-change pick-ups. ... As I noted before, some simple things get me to bite here -- the volume/price and that some premium squarebound books seemed to be popping up from these and others I found at an Ollie's store ... a place that seems to routinely have repacks and a lot of past graphic novels from all publishers as part of their outlet burn-offs. (It's a regional chain so you may not have heard of it ... but they always have a lot of books and comics and occasionally have good runs of toys, too, if you're a retail hunter/flipper.) ... These seem like they are clean, unread copies likely straight from the publishers' leftovers and I think they are worth the look considering you're paying pocket change per issue.
Product Grade: A- (it is what it is ... a new-issue grab bag)
Pack Grade: B+ (a few variants this time but nothing super-flashy for my taste)
Fun Grade: B
