#12 in this year's Top 100. Jayden notes: Many run issues of this series are impossible to find in high grade Canadians - let alone the last issue! A FN CPV sold at CaptCanComics.ca on 11/17/2021 for $300 CAD. Sal notes: Like I've been saying, last issues are where it's at and this gem is no exception. Only a handful of this CPV have been graded by CGC and no 9.8's yet. I've passed on this book in the past in the wild and boy do I regret it.
