Star Wars Micro Comics and Cards

star wars micro

This is interesting.  IDW Publishing is trying something new in the collectible market with the Star Wars license.  They are producing blind packs for Star Wars Marvel minicomics, 3-D posters, 3-D glass, and trading cards that are puzzle pieces to form comic covers.  All this for $3.99.  Sounds good until you look at the break down of what’s in the packet.  You have a chance to get one of the six mini comics, a chance to get one of the six 3-D posters, a pair of 3-D glass.  Doesn’t sound to bad yet, but then you get to the trading cards.  You get a chance of getting 1 of 36 cards.  That’s going to be a lot of duplicates to get a full set of the 36 trading cards.

Don’t get me wrong everything looks neat and all and there will be collectors that love this, but for my wallet it’s just beyond my means.

Don’t Forget Locke and Key

Locke and Key is written by Joe Hill and is one of my favorite reads.  IDW Publishing has published 4 collected editions of this title and has a fifth in the works.  The title is geared for upper teens (15 and Up) and adult readers.  If your library does not have this title yet I strongly recommend it. The following trailer is provided by YouTuber TomWaltz:
