I love a character and art, but that's more than a large print of the cover at Sideshow. This isn't an investment for me either, I just like Power Girl for my personal collection.

Also, the 1:25 incentives are now $50 instead of $25. Double the price.

Truth.

It was such an exciting time when Jim Lee was on X-Men back in the 90s. Every issue that came out was UHH-MAZING! I'm glad we at least have Marc Silvestri doing his Batman run with both the covers and story.

I do agree, and why I wish for more mini series that did this as clearly a serial many top artists simply cannot do.

Yup, that's one of the reasons I loved collecting X-Men titles. The art, stories and characters were all great most of the times.

That might've been me So I went down a rabbit hole doing a CGC search on Ebay and ran across this issue...I couldn't resist and grabbed a trade dress 9.8, damn you Warren Louw Wish I had snagged one when it was released, but hey, I'll know for next time if something this gorgeous is unveiled

More variant PG covers arrived today. Would love a statue of this.

Love the channeling of the Sundblom/Elvgren painting style for this character!
