I like some of them but I’m not gonna budge and buy any extra or any of the titles I’m not reading.
These do nothing for me.
I like that underwinter cover a lot.
Personally, I find a lot of the covers to the Walking Dead to be pretty Boring. I can’t be the only one. But it also kills me how hypocritical this barrage of Image Variants is, after all of the bad-mouthing they’ve done in regard to Marvel & DC. Is this the Final Month of Theme Variants altogether, or just the final month attributed to Image’s 25th Anniversary?

The early Tony Moore covers were far superior to Adlards….
