Bag of Death

Post by kjjohanson »

I happened to be checking out a comic shop I was previously unaware of, hunting for a couple of elusive issues, when someone from Valiant (kicking myself for not remembering his name, especially as I had met him last weekend at Special Edition), to hand some Valiant collateral to the store owner. Didn't find the books that I was looking for, but I did walk away with an issue of Captain Marvel and an All New Marvel Now Point One for $3 in this bag:

Word is there are pens too!
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Awesome! :clap:

The thread title reminds me of the exchange in Unforgiven, The Duck of Death.

Cool! It seems Valiant is really pushing this event. I hope that it works, because it would be great to have more Valiant fans!

Oh, that's very cool! Reminds me of getting cool comic-themed bags as a kid at the comic shop - I know it still happens but I haven't seen a new One like that in many many years.

I still have my Death of Superman bag from when I picked up that gem! Pretty sure that was the same week as Bloodshot #1 :hm:

Nice!!

I wish I still had some of those. My favourite was the New Universe bag from Marvel, haha!

I think I had a New Universe bag. Maybe I still have that around somewhere. I tried not to throw anything out with any sort of branding on it.

They all look great. You guys are lucky. We don't seem to get that type of promotional material in Melbourne, Australia. Apart from the occasional poster. If they are sent down here, I'm yet to see anything.

So jealous. I want that shot glass so bad!
