Comic Legion goes the extra mile to make sure people get the hot new books. Their screening process is the real deal, and every book I've received has been near mint, bagged and boarded. That means a lot to me as someone who submits a ton of comics for grading.
Super well packed. Comics are immaculate. Quick shipping too. Thanks again!
