I'm cool with all of those stamps except Elektra. She's had her fifteen minutes of fame already, let her fade away into the night.

your very bitter...

but then again... theres a friggin lot of spider-woman stamps.. and very little x-men/fantastic 4

 

[Cyclops]

There's only two of each character.

I'm just saying that Elektra hasn't been prominent in the comics for some time, so merchandizing should follow suit. They should have put, say, She-Hulk on there. She's rapidly become Marvel's biggest solo heroine.

^ These are for collectors. Nothing wrong with having Elektra in there and if your favorite hero is missing...trust me...they're making more each year.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

Pfft, Elektra was pivotal of Marvel's best comic runs ever, what has She-Hulk ever done

Plus, Frank Miller art on a stamp

What the Hell?!?! Where the Hell is the Punisher?? He represents anyone who has ever gone postal in their lives.

Um.... she's been green. And hot. That counts for a whole hell of a lot.

They look cool...definitely getting these.

There is a bit of controversy concerning proper artist/inking credit, and bad art quality on these things. Apparently, Marvel is unable to research itself , find the correct answers, and give corret info to the USPS. (which doesn't surprise me)

See Mark Evanier's site http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2006_10_28.html#012321


And I agree about the lettering design. Any designer using Comic Sans as a font should be fired. It's a font professionals do not use - and with all of the great lettering fonts out there - this is pityful.

However, if I could get a roll of Thing portrait stamps without having to buy the rest - I would be overjoyed.

Sort of like when I sent the Uranus stamp with all of my bills - but not really.


PS: Evanier has posted updates over the last few days with more comments and proper art credits.

Sucks that Elektra gets a stamp but Daredevil doesn't. Balls.
I'll still get a sheet, though. I bought the DC stamps that came out earlier this year and I don't regret it at all.
