Let me school you Mr. @LeGonze, I’ll give a brief description of my duties Capisce:
The Consigliere (also known as Consigliori) is an advisor to the family and sometimes seen as the Boss’s “right-hand man”. They are used as a mediator of disputes, representatives or aides in meetings with other families. In practice the consigliere is normally the third ranking member of the administration of a family and was traditionally a senior member familiar with how the organization is run.They are also often the liaison between the Don and important figures, such as politicians or Judges. A boss will often appoint someone close to him who they trust as their consigliere. A consiglere’s main job is to act as the Don’s “auxiliary brain”. Helping the Don formulate plans. A consigliere, by the very nature of his job, cannot afford to simply be a yes-man to the Don, and is one of the few in the family who can argue with the Don on family matters. When the Don comes up with a business plan, the consigliere has to constantly challenge that plan’s weaknesses until it’s foolproof. The consigliere is the only one in the family who knows all of the Don’s contacts and secrets, and if made to talk, could bring an entire family to ruin. However, their is neither a future nor potential for profit in this, and so long as he keeps the faith, he and his family will continue to collect his rather substantial wages whether he is imprisoned or dead.
Consiglieres are usually viewed as civilians or foreign diplomats, and are not generally targeted by rival families. It is almost an unspoken rule that a consigliere is Sicilian or at least an Italian, and always a family member or a trusted friend outside the Don’s personal family. This rule was broken when Masterblaster made the German-Irish Veum his full-time consigliere, causing a great controversy in the New York underworld.
Capisce, my fiend, tread lightly or...
Alright, Mr. Hagen. Now what about that personal business with that premium from the Zeta crime family?

He's the consigliere. We don't ask these questions unless we want to be finding Nemo by next week.

I figured I'd give the MP Guardian/Consigliere a break.

While far from being my favourite of the Marvel films, I liked the twist it put on the origin story in that you're discovering Carol's origins just as she is. You're in that maze with her.
Of course, whether people found that to be executed properly is up for debate.

So many talented artists and even more wonderful prints. Imagine if only 10% of these artworks could be licensed for Premiums or even 'regular' steels... 🤤

For future reference you may be able to order from Amazon.co.uk
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08BVJ3BJ7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_e21-EbMGS5Y1R
Or hmv
Failing all those, there is the zavvi UK group buy thread here on MP
Some none UK members choose to order from here so that they get better packaging from UK Hub rather straight from these retailers mentioned..
L
Yeah, the UK Group Buy thread sounds ideal. You can't skimp on good packaging.

These are some more standouts for me that aren't on Paul Shipper's site:
His style is reminiscent of the great Drew Struzan.

Paul Shipper is one of my favourite illustrators working today.
He's been commissioned by companies like Arrow and Shout! Factory to do the cover artwork for their blu-ray releases.
Here's more of his work if you're interested:

I've got a pre-ordered Titans of Cult release from Zavvi that's on its way.
I guess it'd be nice to find another place to purchase future releases from when Zavvi sells out of their stock without having to pay scalper prices.

If your UK only Sell out on zavvi but there available in 3/4 other places so never really sell out.
I'm in Aus, so it's a bit more difficult to find these releases outside of Zavvi.
