I got some nice looking ones on deck this week so lets get into the get into.. but before that, I want to give a shout out to CBSI’s Matt DeVoe, it was a honor to talk variants and comics in general with you last week.

Thanks for the shout out! it was awesome to podcast with you and chat variants. And you’re picks are excellent as usual. I’m all over that Labyrinth variant. I’m finding that many stores near me didn’t order enough to qualify. Get a nice Bowie SS…. Oh wait. Never mind.
If you can make that Bowie signing happen I would pay you. Lol.
No Darth Vader love? I thought it was all about Darth Vader, not worth getting?
I do like that killer android action figire variant from Vader 24
How popular is triple 0 and beetee one? You think these AFs are worth getting for both? Or hold out until Aphra?
IM GONNA GET 3 OR 4 OF BOTH sorry caps
What you this Anthony? Mel the movie guy grabbing 3 or 4 each? You think the 23 and 24 AFs are worth grabbing cause they will be in a movie? Or there just popular characters and under orderd ?
SDP 1 seventh printing MEL…. #whitecoversmattertoo
Lol
Wonder woman?
Action comics?
Mel nailed it with the picks! All New X-men 12 Black Panther is only other variant that I’m getting.
I’ll agree that Jock variant is amazing. The guy’s work is just stellar.
Mel, I am disappoint. You picked the A-Force BP variant over Greg Hildebrandt’s Black Panther #5?! You be trippin’!
Lol the Hildebrant looks good.but i didnt want to over saturate with BP
You can’t over saturate Black Panther.. need more Black Panther.. until they’re done with BP covers.. just list each week as.. “All Black Panther Covers” š
What do you have against Black Panther covers?! #AllBlackPantherCoversMatter
I was not going to get the Tradd Moore Spider-Man/Deadpool variant but 1) That red background drew me in and 2) It was cover price! That is a funky cover and the color makes it more awesome.
Just to brag, I was able to snag two of the Allred Labyrinth 30th Anniversary Special #1 at cover.
I was also able to snag two of the Fiona Stables Accused #1 variants as well at cover. Today was a good comic book day. š
That’s at least a $25 bill all day long right there!
Yeah, I haven’t checked sold listings yet to see how they’re doing.. but yes, one to sell, one to keep since Wife is a big fan of Labyrinth.
