The Pop Insider Issue No. 12

Anyone wonder if there’s an alternate reality in the multiverse where the pandemic never happened? We’d like to move there, no matter who their Spider-Man is.

Welp, in this reality it’s been two years since the onset of COVID-19, and we are still masking up, getting those booster shots, and anxiously awaiting news about whether or not our favorite cons, trade shows, and other events are taking place.

While our hearts break with every cancellation, things have certainly felt at least a little bit more normal over the last year. Movie theaters reopened, and we got to see three iterations of Spider-Men hug on the big screen. Some cons were back on, including New York Comic Con, and we got to hunt down exclusives on the show floor again. And despite massive supply chain issues and disruptions, tons of incredible new collectibles hit store shelves. In 2022, there’s a lot more geeky goodness on the horizon, and we’ve got the scoop on all of it.
