Grading Recommendation
As this item is already professionally slabbed, further grading is not applicable. For an unslabbed copy, grading is generally only recommended if it is a guaranteed 9.8 and for personal collection purposes, as the grading fees often exceed the market value of this modern issue.
Notable Features
First issue of the 2022/2023 limited series. Features the classic 2000s era costume designs as illustrated by the original series artist Salvador Larroca. Modern 'Rated T+' trade dress with UPC present.
Authentication Notes
The comic is housed in a professional grading 'slab' (likely CGC). The barcode, logo placement, and paper quality visible through the slab are consistent with Marvel's 2023 production standards.
