This was a pretty cool find over the weekend. The massive delays in the release of Marvel Legendary: Annihilation have made Upper Deck indicate that they are going to be releasing all of the scheduled 2021 expansions even though the first one isn’t coming… Continue Reading “Legendary Marvel – New Expansions Cover Art”
