Buncha thoughts:
— We knew this ish was coming but these are the first details and the first look at the Super Powers cover.
— I love the Unman accessory there. Nice one, fellas.
— We still have at least two Super Powers covers to come in this Wave 3 — Batman #497, featuring Bane, and Green Lantern #50. There’s also the in-limbo Black Canary cover.
— Now you have a match for your House of Secrets #92 Facsimile. We’ve gotten that twice already.
— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, NM original recently sold on eBay for $500. That actually strikes me as low, but that’s roughly the going rate. I suppose it’s because it’s not the first appearance.
— As I said up top, there’s plenty more where this came from, so dig the links below!
