Grading Recommendation
While the comic is in excellent condition, it is likely not worth grading unless you are certain it will achieve a 9.8. The cost of modern grading often exceeds the value increase for books with high print runs and multiple variants.

Authentication Notes
Authentic modern comic. High-quality cardstock glossy cover. Proper color saturation and sharp line work characteristic of Alex Ross's painted style. Standard modern Marvel dimensions.
