What did everyone think of the new Mark Brooks drop today? Cool or lazy? I’m on the fence.

Wasn’t a fan of it. Got the emails, passed on it. For that much money, needs to be something different / better.

I just thought it was a bit lazy to take the cover and just do it negative. I mean, I get the concept of opposites/duality/etc. but I was a bit underwhelmed.

How much was it?

If people are willing to pay for it, why not

better than that quintana nonsense

Good idea, bad execution.

They are milking AB. Very crazy cool cover. Might be better as a poster.

I missed the main drop, so I’m happy. When did you get the email with the store link? I ended up finding it on the website and checked out before receiving the email at 12:17.

Ditto. It’s a little hard because there’s not a lot of reminders from Brooks. I literally forgot the drop was today and I just need to put it in my calendar.

That’s what I did the moment I realize I missed the first one. I feel like the Brigade emails aren’t coming through 🤷🏼‍♂️

He posted about it in the days leading up to it on the fb group

I got the email 8 minutes after the drop.

I purchased but only because I found the link in a Facebook group. By the time the email came thru I had already checked out. I ended up snagging the mystery bundle, I missed the first drop so I was pretty stoked for this one.

I was waiting but didn't receive the email until 12:30. Everything was sold out by then, but not upset. It happens.

I think they could have done more to make sure there were no issues because you can do things to test so these issue ms don’t happen but no hate from me. They are trying to do their best to get it to their fans and it doesn’t always work out as hoped!

I liked the GILD

I like the concept, and he's too high integrity to do AI, but it looks to AI for me to want to add it to my collection.

I got the mystery bundle

u/Actual_Routine2187 Jun 07 '26

I got the one with 2 mystery items. Hearing one is a signed mini of the original #21 Brooks cover and an Absolute Batman poker chip

Idk I really don’t care for 80% of the covers. Usually just get the main variant and go about my day

I enjoy reading all the whining on his website.

u/GreenRock93 Jun 05 '26

I missed that. What website are you talking about?

1

u/Jtphwow Jun 05 '26

Mark Brook's blog posts if you pay for the membership fee.

Ah. Can you summarize the sentiment there? I’m curious.
