2013 Cryptozoic DC Comics: The Women of Legend Trading Cards: I've purchased non-sport packs from Bob Rewak's eBay store before and went back for more since getting to a local store for cards isn't a thing right now. This is a set I wasn't familiar with. It is made up of sketches of the women of DC Comics. They range from the cartoony to more true renderings. I'll kick this off with Batgirl and Black Canary.
Star Sapphire, Amanda Walker, Huntress. I actually knew Star Sapphire from the Green Lantern comics and Huntress primarily from when she teamed up with Batgirl and Black Canary in the Birds of Prey comics which were great.
I recognized Batwoman whose come on in the last few years. I didn't recognize Talia al Ghul from the Batman comics and movie The Dark Knight Rises. That is Bleez as a Red Lantern. I got the Red Lantern thing but Bleez doesn't ring a bell. I don't actively read comics right now but do like to keep up with them as I can.
The backs are nice in my opinion. There is a subdued part of the front photo in the bottom left and the write-up while simple does well. That is Madam Xanadu and Enchantress on that first card. I did not know that. That is Godiva and Vixen on that last card. Godiva is new to me. These were fun. I don't think I'll go looking for more packs but I wouldn't mind seeing some singles of the gals I follow in comics.
This is a Katie Cook sticker insert (2:24) of Poison Ivy.

I have the DC Universe app. It has thousands of comics available, going back to the 1930s. It's about a year behind with newly printed books. I used to read every single DC title but hate what they did with the new 52 and stopped reading them all. Now I am reading the Rebirth books and really enjoying it. They seem to have fixed a lot of the problems introduced with the new52
ReplyDeleteThat is good to hear. I've heard New52 turned off a lot of readers. Good DC was able to turn it around.I have quite a few comics from the past. Still trying to figure out how to sell the majority of them.
DeleteThe Flash is my favorite comic character. I used to buy everything from the silver age to moderns, but sold them all about 8 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe is a favorite of my grandson and I always enjoyed him. That is a huge collection to sell. How did you do it? I have quite a few I'd like to sell.
DeleteI've heard of half of these characters (mainly because of the television shows), but I think the only ones I would have been able to recognize based on the sketches would be Batgirl and Poison Ivy. That being said... I could see why comic fans would enjoy this. The opportunity to pull sketch cards is always cool.
ReplyDeleteIf I was active reading comics I definitely would have been all over this set. I was surprised I didn't know all the characters or at least more than I did know.
