A fun cover. Love Mater and McQueen. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first cover of these characters on a comic. There was a series by BOOM! that commands quite the aftermarket price.
A nice sort of homage to Dave Stevens, by Ito.
A KEY MOMENT IN IIIIARVEL HISTORY AS A NEW CHARACTER TAKES THE STAGE… The Marvel Universe changes forever right here and right now! The Avengers are torn apart as a shocking character makes their debut, setting the stage for November’s AVENGERS #1!
I have to think this spoiler cover will be of the new character.
Although this has received a facsimile before, I don’t recall there being a foil cover.
3rd printing of Lara Croft’s first appearance in GI Joe comics.
January 1995. All eyes are on the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The Sharks gear up for the most significant event in the AALs 20-year history, and Maximillian Dupreetheir sudden-star backup quarterback’s feeling the pressure from his teammates, his fans, and his debts to the city’s gambling underworld. A string of suicides hits the community hard, drawing a desperate sports journalist to examine their connection to the big game. No one can trust anything they see as a mind-bending entity and its frightful visions threaten their payouts, their sanity, and their lives Based on the critically acclaimed Smile film franchise.
MINISERIES PREMIERE: In 1977, a young artist had his first ideas for a character he would name Spawn. That man was TODD McFARLANE. Now, 49 years later, Spawn is an international sensation that has spawned (pun intended) a movie, toys, games, and an animated series. It has been translated into over a dozen languages with fans across the globe. Now, in collaboration with acclaimed artist MARK SPEARS, TODD McFARLANE brings a vision of his original idea to the Spawn Universe. A completely new and exciting take on the fan-favorite character. Covers from MARK SPEARS, TODD McFARLANE, EMMA RIOS, SHAWN CRYSTAL, and more. A wickedly different version of Spawn starts here.
We’ve been hearing about (and waiting for) this book to debut for quite a while now. It’s finally here. Now it will be heavily ordered, but still should be a fun book to grab.
My only gripe is that the cover A is not a McFarlane cover…This is his creation, so why did he give the main cover to Spears? At least there are a few McFarland variant covers to choose from (shown below). Also expect a few NYCC exclusives to appear.
My favorite is actually the 1:25 incentive variant…there are a few higher ratios but this 1:25 should be plenty available for a reasonable price and a nice homage to ASM 300.
