The Facsimile Edition of X-Men #4 arrived today, along with True Believers reprints of FF #52 and Avengers #83. Perhaps it's an oversight, but the original 12c price is still in the cover corner box, whereas previous FEs have substituted the current cost of the mags. I wonder if future FEs will follow the same route? Time will tell. One quibble I have is with the indicia being placed under the splash page, whereas, in the original, it appeared under the ad inside the cover.
Next up, below, is the TB of Fantastic Four #52, featuring the debut of The Black Panther. No real complaints with it, and although I have a prior 'facsimile edition' (scanned from an original ish), the reproduction here is far superior, having been sourced from pristine new proofs.
Next is another little beauty - Avengers #83. While I'm not crazy about the 'pc' caption on the splash, I don't mind it so much on the True Believers, but they did something similar with the facsimile of Tales Of Suspense #39. On a facsimile, it compromises the historical integrity of the mag, and should be relegated to a line in the indicia where it wouldn't be so intrusive.
