Mel V's Variant Picks of the Week for 1/25/17

What up CHU? Mel V. back at you with more variants!
WHEW! what a week last week huh? Variant collectors were out in full force trying to hunt down the Gamora and Mighty Captain Marvel variants. Not to mention the one-per-store WWE, Batman I am Gotham Vol. 1, and Curse Words variants. I do love a good hunt and this week its a couple worth being hunted. So lets get into the getting into

Batman 66 Meets Wonder Woman 77 #1 Cover B Variant Alex Ross Cover – Alex Ross is just about a HIT every time he lays brush to paper. Batman 66 meets Wonder Woman 77 is such a cool concept and this Variant does a great job of capturing all that cheesy TV glory.

Deadpool Vol 5 #25 Cover E Incentive Mark Brooks Variant Cover – Fell in love with this when I first saw this 1:50. This one could be tough to track down and only one of eBay as we speak. Yes this would look great on a T Shirt. So you already know what it is…. BUY! Variant pick of the week here! Sold out at Midtown last week when the image leaked.

Hulk Vol 4 #2 Cover B Incentive Elizabeth Torque Variant Cover – I really enjoyed the first issue of this relaunch and I really like the animated/almost animie look She…I mean “The Hulk” has to her.

KISS The Demon #1 Cover H Incentive Gene Simmons The Demon Photo Variant Cover Signed By Gene Simmons – A Must for any KISS fan ..The Demon aka Gene Simmons SIGNED

Savage #3 Cover E Incentive Lewis Larosa Sketch Cover – Issue 1 and 2 did well in the aftermarket, history tells us that print runs fall around issue 3, this could be a serious ghost 1:50. None listed on eBay right now.

Slayer Repentless #1 Cover B Variant Eric Powell Cover – Don’t know much about the group Slayer..but this cover is bad arse done by Hillbilly’s Eric Powell

Untamed II #2 Cover B Variant Jae Lee Cover – NIOBE by Jae Lee …sweet and savage rendetion by the legend Jae Lee

  1. I think I nabbed the last one off Midtown for the Deadpool Brooks variant. After I purchased, immediately refreshed and they showed out of stock. Sorry for anyone who missed out on it.. (Actually I’m not that sorry, suckers!) 🙂

      1. I was scrambling too.. apparently if you put in your CVV code wrong, Midtown will redirect you to a page that says there was a problem and you must contact customer service. Then it dumps your cart and your order shows up as “rejected” or something like that. I had to quickly go back, add the comic and the other things I wanted and check out all over again..

    2. I got mines in the mail today ..they shipped it in a box ..inbedded within big arse bubble wrap ..could of bent the book …but it survived

  3. I’m sorry,is it just me or does that Hulk variant look like Michael Jackson….lol..

    1. It’s reminiscent of Mike Jackson. But if looks like Mike Jackson doing a Cruella De Vil impersonation.

  4. Love the Batman/Wonder Woman cover. Pure gold…or fool’s good. Either way, I’m getting it.

  5. Nice pics Mel. Quick question for the floor: do retailers get a heads up on what the incentive variants will be before they order from Diamond?

        1. It was a good read. Deals with some hard topics. Seeing the band in the comic was interesting. Especially now that they are old.
