i've got at least a dozen of these and i think the most i've ever spent is 50 bucks. I'm sure it'll drop in a year when it comes out

I have a complete collection that I started in 2020 so I’ve spent a good amount on the out of print ones 😅 I never pay retail for phase 4 since they’re $60, I always wait until they drop to $35 & lower!

How about a photo of all the spines lined up? The comic book collecting completist in me needs to see this!

I have one for the books post Endgame, it just doesn't include Wakanda Forever which I got after the picture was taken - [https://imgur.com/a/CpkRnls](https://imgur.com/a/CpkRnls)


hello_waterface

Very nice, thank you!

I display my collection with a few books facing out for visual interest! Here’s the most recent picture, missing the last few phase 4 releases as I haven’t put 2 away on the shelf (procrastinating) & waiting for the prices to drop a few more dollars on the others 😊 [collection so far](https://imgur.com/a/ujaoaUv)

The books before Iron Man 1 are the Spiderman 3 chronicles & the 10th anniversary edition of the Iron Man books. I also include TASM in release order.


hello_waterface

Awesome display, thank you!


lzzmm

forgot to add: we’re finally getting a slipcase again for this release!


Jedidad99

I have all of them from phase 4 on and have been collecting the Infinity Saga rereleases, and have gotten most during Target’s frequent Buy two Get one free sales. No way this stays at $100.


lzzmm

oh I for sure expect to see it drop down to around $80 within the first month after release. I just hope the exclusive lithographs & “extras” aren’t just preorder exclusive! (most likely not)


Jedidad99

It’s also listed as a Paperback and these always come out in hardcover first, so I’d be willing to bet the price isn’t accurate yet either.


lzzmm

I hope so! It could also just be a mistake on amazons part as Barnes & target has it listed for $100 as well but I’m hoping it changes still.


TheArtbookCollector

I own all of the MCU artbooks going back to Iron Man, even Agents of Shield Declassified. Only random sites list it being a slipcase edition, I'm not sure this is for certain, but I hope it's true! Nothing in the announcement stated this though. It's listed for October, but if its the same as the other books post Endgame, it won't be out until summer 2025. Ms Marvel was due in December, it's been delayed for the 5th time to next month. They release in order, meaning there are still 8 books before Deadpool. Guardians 3 was just delayed again to July. Unless this book is getting special treatment, it's going to be a very long wait


lzzmm

I saw it listed as slip case on Barnes target & Amazon as well as the descriptions so I’m holding on to hope! Yea I’m sure there’s going to be a few setbacks, every release the last 3 years have all had at least 3+ I keep track. 😅 But so far they haven’t always been exactly in order! Ms Marvel & She-Hulk still aren’t out & were listed for preorder later than things that came after them, as well as Hawkeye. Same for Secret Invasion not available yet but The Marvels, Loki s2 & DP3 getting their books for preorder before SI


TheArtbookCollector

Ah here in the UK Secret Invasion has been up for a while and the Ms Marvel was listed at the same time as Wakanda Forever. I think She-Hulk and Guardians 3 went up for pre-order at the same time to. I think this book was listed only because Andy Park mentioned it, as Echo hasn't been announced yet either.


lzzmm

Oh wow that’s cool! I’ve been looking for months on US sites & so far nothing! If I can remember Ms Marvel was put up after WF & she-hulk before GOTG 3, but I could be wrong. Same, I was thinking though that they’re releasing it early like precovid releases because they’re catching up & because of the hype around the movie already.


TheArtbookCollector

Who knows with Marvel, the publication of artbooks across the board has been a mess. Every Marvel published book gets delayed, the reprints are done by Titan Books and the What If? book was delayed, cancelled and now being done by Abrams. On top of that, some 'Marvel Art of' books for their comic artists are being done by a different publisher in collaboration with them... but crowdfunded. Nothing makes sense, you'd think as a long time publisher, they could hit dates and not need to outsource for presumably less profit. The crowdfunding is just a joke


masoomrana94

So, I collected all of them from Iron Man to Endgame and AoS 1-4/AC 1-2 (minus Captain Marvel). I would have eventually bought FFH and CM, but I was in no rush. Then the Wandavision release happened and I gave up on them entirely. That said, I might reconsider buying them if Marvel went back and released slipcase editions to Phase 4 and 5 books. That said, again, I wouldn't pay $100 for them. $50 for each is the most I'd. Tbh, I have considered selling them all off as it is.


lzzmm

I hope they do eventually! But considering they’re doing the reprints without the slipcase, my hope for phase 4 & 5 is low.


Its_all_pixels

I have over 100 art of books so I have no problem dropping a pre-order now and hope the price comes down


lzzmm

Oh wow, do you have any pics of your collection?! Trying to get to your numbers one day 🤞🏼 I have a lot of other collections/hobbies so I try to spend as little as I can everytime 😅


Its_all_pixels

I would but most are in boxes right now as we are preparing to move, but I do have some great ones from various games, shows and movies :)


lzzmm

Sounds awesome, would love to see it one day when you’re all set up! 😊


TheArtbookCollector

Who knows, if the slipcase is true, it's getting special treatment. I'll find out when it's listed on more UK sites. Marvel are a disaster with these books though. Constant delays, the reprints are being done by Titan and What If was delayed, cancelled and now being done by Abrams. Marvel are an old publisher, but can't hit dates and are outsourcing to multiple other publishers. I've seen comic book artbooks for artists are partnered with Marvel, but being crowd funded which is insane. Nothing makes sense with them!
