Just a quick note. This is month 2 of the new format. In the past, the comics were the highlight of this block, now it's more of a balance between comics and comic-related collectibles.
Each month comes with a card detailing each item in your box.
Captain America Shirt - Value $10?
Now that ShirtPunch has the rights to Marvel apparel, the shirts have been awesome across the blocks. This one is no different. This is just a classic Captain America design and I'm thrilled with it!
Black Panther POP - Value $9.27 on Amazon
This month featured Civil War POPs. You could have received Iron Man, The Winter Soldier, Cap, or Black Panther - and I received the latter. Unfortunately, I own this POP already (I was pulling for Winter Soldier!), but it's just an awesome design.
I think Black Panther has one of the coolest suits in the cinematic universe.
Funko ReAction Reverse Flash - Value $9.33 on Amazon
They also include a Reverse Flash Funko ReAction figure. I'm not a major Flash or ReAction fan, so I was as pumped for this item.
Here's a closer look at the figure.
Black Panther #1 - Value $4.99
I just received this issue in my Collector Corps box. I still have it pulled aside to read, but now I can store away my variant cover and I can read this normal edition. Again, awesome suit.
Aliens Defiance #1 - Value $3.99
The final item of the box arrives perfectly timed for April - since Aliens Day was April 26th. This is an exclusive variant for the box as well. I never got into the Alien/Predator craze (although Predator was a personal favorite a while ago for me) - I wonder if the comics will get me started into the craze? Only one way to find out...
Verdict: I like the new format of Comic Block. I was skeptical about reducing the number of comics when I first learned of the change, but after two deliveries, I think it's a good idea to feature a box that guarantees comic-related items and comics, as opposed to primarily being about comics - since there are numerous subscriptions dedicated solely to comics. So, I'm excited for this box moving forward. This month had good value, too. Although I got some repeat items (such is the life of a POP and subscription box enthusiast), I can see how anyone would love this box.
