Same. The more I've looked at it, the more I prefer the hmv one too. Hopefully the back is decent. Even if it's simple spot gloss, so the central part is glossy, and the black surround isn't, that'll be fine. Atleast then there will be a base layer of gloss, voiding any streaky black matte. That'd do until a WEA comes along..Ive decided to put an order in for this one. Might cancel closer the time but this art has really grown on me. Love the placements and that clean black. Images look really colourful too. Really pops. Personally I think it’s miles better than the WB steel even though it uses the same character images.
Ideally I’d love a (non streaky) very smooth matte black. Spot Glossed character images and an embossed title (also glossed). But that’s apparently too much of a premium finish for Warner to handle

Speaking of WEAs, you can pretty much guarantee ml/hdz will end up using these 2 posters... whoever uses the 1st colourful one (sans the border), gets my money. Looks absolutely epic.

Either manta, hdz (or both) will do it. Hdz haven't missed any DCEU titles (Joker/BoP are still WIP), and manta only missed Shazam. Granted manta's SS/BvS were global releases, but as that line is gone now, that only leaves their exclusive line.Am I wrong to assume Manta will do a steel for this? Don't want another Shazam situation where I passed on other steel releases waiting for theirs that ultimately never came.
Manta didn't do the first Suicide Squad did they?manta only missed Shazam.
I've no interest in HDZ, so fingers crossed for Manta! Did they ever say WHY they skipped Shazam? I can't even remember now.Either manta, hdz (or both) will do it.

No whisper from either retailer as of yet though, but given hdz's backlog, a potential manta release would be out much sooner.

I so hope that you would stuck with HDZ only and that Manta doesn't do it. ^_^
Then you would stuck with this "artwork".
What kind of BS excuse is i have no interest?
Yeah they did global releases for SS and BvS. Hdz still hold the only premium wea's for those two.Manta didn't do the first Suicide Squad did they?
I don't think there was ever an official word. It was planned, but then ultimately cancelled. Worry over lack of popularity or scheduling issues perhaps, who knows.I've no interest in HDZ, so fingers crossed for Manta! Did they ever say WHY they skipped Shazam? I can't even remember now.

Ah, interesting. I'm guessing WB wouldn't approve their proposed art or something then. Unless it was a shared distribution in HK etc.. and that caused issues, as it's strange hdz managed it in china. Granted that did take ages to materialise, but that's not unusual for them lolIIRC something to do with the licensing as Shazam isn't solely a Warner IP

Lol glad I'm not the only one. From what I can gather they're a HDZ fanboy.What? I’ve read this 3 times and I still can’t make any sense from it
