Happy Easter!

Don't let the Funny Bunny steal your basket....

Fun to think about though!

Rumors of Anne Hathaway turning down Black Cat in BND interesting b/c:

1. AH was Raimi choice for BC for his SM 4.

2. 14 yr gap w/ TH but looks more b/c of his boyish looks...so no sex chem/sexy banter? But that's what makes BC fun.

3. AH as both DC & Marvel feline fatales would've been epic.

Marvel reference at our city’s #NoKings rally today!

#NCBD (yesterday) (partial)

Yes I'm religious. I believe in the holy trinity.

Yes the cover is in terrible shape but the interior pages are surprisingly solid.

Anyway, still counts. 53 to go! #SpiderMan

I also did something I've never done before: flipped a new book I paid 4.99 for on Wednesday and sold it for $50 on Saturday. Just crazy. If you follow the new releases every week, you probably can guess which book that was.

Taking off my collector hat and doing the comics vendor thing for the second time ever. Did pretty well--at least for my modest expectations. #comicsky #comics

Some fun life size photo op installations at the exhibition: Can pose next to a swinging Spidey or get caught in the tentacles of Doc Ock!

Still 2 weeks to check out the "Marvel's Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" Exhibition at Chicago's Griffin Museum of Science + Industry. Ends Feb 8!

Besides many cool exhibits (see earlier posts), there is also an ENTIRE museum shop devoted solely to Spidey merch. I dreamed of this as a kid!
#SpiderMan

Authentic props used in the Spidey movies!

On display at the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago:

Spider-Man (2002) - Goblin mask & pumpkin bomb

Spider-Man 2 (2004) - Doc Ock claw & goggles

Spider-Man 3 (2007) - Various props (camera from TASM)

Another cool feature at the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit at Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago:

A typewritten first page of the script for ASM #82 (published in 1969 & one of the first Spidey comics I ever bought as a very young kid)--with handwritten edits by Stan.
#SpiderMan

Finally made it to the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago to check out the "Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing" exhibit.

Something for Spidey fans of all ages and the crowd reflected that.

The biggest highlight for me? Getting to see this in person for the first time ever! #SpiderMan

This is it!

The rollercoaster of comic blind bags (Monster and The Wolf version - 10 bags total):

The ups: First 6 bags-->3 trick covers (1:100 ratio)

The downs: After 10 bags-->3 repeats

Kind of weird that it's only happened three times ever and two were by the Packers in the last month-igami.

Thoughts on this "All New, All Daring" era of PPTSS?

I didn't know how much I needed to hear someone else say this. Thank you.

I personally agree with your first point. But they didn't have the rights so hard to blame them for moving on with a different focal point.

This was back in the theaters this weekend & it was so fun to see it on the big screen again after 23 years.

Some of the effects don't hold up but this is still one of the best comic book movies of all time & probably my favorite.

This was the movie that made Marvel realize the MCU was possible.
