What's Buzz-worthy: As Yogi Berra once said, "It's déjà vu all over again" and you're not imagining things ... this repack is identical to another one I opened here in the past -- every issue the same. ... .This one was strong with a popular artist variant cover right on top, a blank sketch cover on the back of the "pack" and then a few more interesting finds inside that included a second printing of an issue with some apparently strong demand. (Take all of my take with a grain of salt here ... I'm just a dabbler in the comics realm, not an expert. But, I like artwork.) ... As I noted before, a couple of simple things got 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 here. ... 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 that 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.) These kinds of packs can sometimes age well -- a character might emerge as important later -- or can pack variants that age well. 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+ (a few variants and a potentially rarer second-print of a key issue)
Fun Grade: A (see above)
