On this show, I play a song from James McMurtry; I set my Waze voice to Chaka Khan; this is an atypical summer; I did less cheap comic shopping at Heroescon than ever; I did more art shopping at Heroescon than ever; this might be my last year of bulk autograph seeking; John K. Snyder III is a great guy; Walt Simonson's autograph line might have broken me on big ticket signatures; if you are going to embezzle then do it all at once and GTFO; I am at an all-time low in enthusiasm for technology but mostly because of billionaires and assholes; AI slop makes all fun stop; I stopped caring about the Pocket Mage; I was tempted by an XTeink X4 but probably won't buy it; I will probably still buy a Micimike; our computers and phones from pre-2025 are going to be like 1959 Cuban cars; do I really need a new 3D printer?

Card C-6: Princess Leia

Wrapping up the chase cards - and the set - with Princess Leia.

Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda

So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

Card C-4: Chewbacca

Guest starring a concerned looking Threepio!

Card C-3: Luke Skywalker

And a surprisingly large Artoo!
There is also a more rare, parallel set of these insert cards w/refractor foil (ie quasi-holographic).

Card C-2: Han Solo

Simonson does a good Han; shame he never really got to draw him in the comic much.

Card C-1: Darth Vader

The primary chase cards for this set are six etched foil cards, each drawn by Walt Simonson.

The #WaltSimonson run of #Thor was the best in the business. Ton of great art and story and he did it all in that issue.

And we're rounding out the Rs of the Great #ComicBook Re-inventorying Initiative and you tell me, wouldn't this have made a great movie?
