What’s up CHU, Mel V back with another great week of comics and variants. Variants do carry risk, some go up, some go down, but as long as you are buying art that you like, you can’t go wrong.
Here is what I am feeling this week!
Bill & Ted Go To Hell #1 Cover A Regular Jamal Campbell -Jamal Campbell Has done it yet again, a regular cover making Mel’s Variant pick of the week. The art is so animated it almost feels like its moving, Mr. Campbell is undeniably a name to watch for
Gun #2 Incentive Dekal Variant-I love this series, I also love this incentive. It should be a low print run 1:10 variant ..keep your eyes peeled
Wonder Woman Vol 4 #49 Variant Neal Adams Cover-I told myself I didn’t want to put any of the obvious variants on my weekly list..But man this cover is awesome..cant want to see the final artwork
Power Man And Iron Fist Vol 3 #1 Cover B Variant Theotis Jones Marvel Hip-Hop Cover-T SHIRT TIME!! Hip hop variant of one of the greatest duos of all time Mobb Deep with one of the greatest comic duos of all time Power Man and Iron Fist..I’m stoked for this series
Power Man And Iron Fist Vol 3 #1 Cover I Incentive Sanford Greene Black Panther 50th Anniversary Variant Cover-Black Panther is ready to explode in the MCU, I do believe this cover is a 1:25 and will slip through the eyes of many..BUT DON’T BE LEFT OUT..THIS COVER WILL BE SOUGHT AFTER IN A COUPLE MONTHS
Superman American Alien #4 Cover B Incentive Jae Lee Variant Cover– It’s rare that a cover is so darn good, it would make me pick up to read a series that I have not been reading..Superman American Alien has had some amazing Variants, Jae Lee did a great job on this one to make me wonder what the heck is going on inside the pages of this.
I know some of you guys are thinking Where is the Adam Hughes Thor..Yea its a great cover ..but everyone knows about it..I want to give some shine on the lesser known covers this week..but Yea that Hughes will be a monster

That black panther cover looks sick. That will be one to look for. Thanks again Mel.
Agreed. I love Black Panther. I usually only buy variants at cover but my usual spot that sells at cover didn’t get but my other shop had one left at $8.99 so I had to splurge. 😉
Dang it, Mel! I read your post last night and thought “Why would anyone buy a Power Man & Iron Fist with Black Panther on the cover?! He’s not even in the story!!” I had no intentions of even giving that one a second glance. Then I saw it in my LCS for $8 and thought “I’ll regret it if it blows up and I passed on it.” So my wallet is $8 lighter thanks to you. LOL
Ha! He gotcha
Yes, yes he did.
lol here goes some reasons to help you feel better about this awesome purchase
1)Black Panther is about to be huge in the MCU more fanbase .
2)Even thought this is a number 1,this could be an under ordered number 1 and this is 1:25
3)Power Man and Iron fist will be hitting netflix ..while they did have a series back in the 70’s I think this new grittier version could be the one collectors will be looking for (example newer Suicide Squad issues)
you did great for $8 ..i paid $12 for each of my 4 copies lol
yup! The Mobb Deep homage is sick…Ive actually been digging the 90’s Hip Hop cover homages…Ilmatic, Great Adventures of…, Midnight Mauraders, Hard to Earn, Tical, etc…..might not be big on specs right now but Im sure Hip Hop purist will hunt these down later.
Well actually, Great Adventures of …was not a 90’s Cd.
