What's Buzz-worthy: Similar to some of the other breaks I have done here, this one included five variants -- not bad considering that's half the pack -- and, to me, one made he batch. The variant cover you see above with Harley Quinn about to hammer somebody into oblivion while wearing a Joker mask. It's a cover so cool to me I have already gone out and bought a slabbed copy for Making The Grade. (I'll offer up more thoughts on that one at that time.) The others are all firmly in the wheelhouse of popular characters (Batman, Harley) and then some other interesting ones. For the price, it's all comfortable to me. ... As I noted before, the value is pretty solid as the cost was literal pocket change for each book and these are clearly publisher leftovers that had minimal handling before they were put into these packs. A couple of simple things got me to bite here -- the volume/price and that some premium books seemed to be popping up from these and others that 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 ... and they occasionally have good runs of toys, too, if you're a hunter/flipper.) ... The simple packaging was something that I admittedly hadn't ever really seen before ... a repack where it's sealed down the back ... just like a big pack of cards. I know it sounds dumb but it added to the appeal. Blind-wrap these bad boys and you might sell more, mystery-maker. (Or at least have a window where the top book shows.) Why dabble? These kinds of packs can sometimes age well -- a character might emerge as important later -- and the cost is minimal unlike grabbing at a comics shop at cover prices. There may not be big-money finds here on the variants front, but I like the price and potential if I were to grade some stuff here -- they certainly are clean enough to do that.

Product Grade: A- (it is what it is ... a new-issue grab bag)
Pack Grade: A- (variant cover above won me over here)
Fun Grade: A- (pocket change each works for me)
