Comic-book blind bags have become a thing. Image/Skybound did it with the debut issue of, "Battle Beast," to immense success. Now online stores are doing them with exclusives, DC is going to have expensive ones with their, "Batman," relaunch, and everybody wants in on the latest gimmick. When done well (the bags aren't a bunch of money extra, they're a fun bonus and not the whole point as the comic is good too) blind bags are fine. Mark Spears and his monster-focused comics, "Mark Spears Monsters," have been a hit as well. Hence, when you combine two ideas that are currently red-hot, you're bound to get something wild. Well, a new mini-series, "Mark Spears Monsters: The Monster and the Wolf," will have a first issue featuring blind bags that boast many different covers. This is gonna get crazy.
"The Monster and the Wolf," will not price its blind bags higher than a standard issue of the series. His monster-focused comics have always been $5.99 and will remain that way. Plus, his comics are great along with his various covers. Therefore, I'm supportive of this blind bag promotion compared to how bad it could've been (DC with its $9.99 blind bags for the aforementioned new, "Batman," series). I will definitely grab a pack/issue or two so I have one to read and an extra just to try my luck upon release on October 1st. Even though I'm sure a ton of these will be produced, it will likely sell out, considering both Spears and blind bags are at nuclear-hot levels of popularity at this moment. Make sure to pre-order some from your local comic shop while you still can!
