A few thoughts:
— Based on the released art, the difference between the 2023 and 2024 editions is the black background. (The 2023 edition was white.) But I’m sure the 10 portraits on the flip side will be different. Shown above is who was in the first edition:
— The calendar is due July 25, 2023, and lists for $24.99.
— I can’t recall a calendar getting this kind of re-release, so Marvel and Abrams must have struck gold.

Somehow missed this the first time. Are Ant-Man and Wasp tucked in there anywhere…?

Answering my own question… just counted 35 characters and nope. No looking out for the little guy, I guess :^)
Love it anyway!
