  1. Z nation needs more love. Very hard to find variants. Great job Mel. V. I wish Houston had more of a comic book presence. We have bedrock city. And that’s it.

  2. Last 6 months of 2017 I didn’t buy any variants. A lot of the LCS had started to raise the prices on them. I don’t have any of the ones picked above. But would of loved the Mattina cover. Even though he was accused of being a copy-cat.

    1. There is an artist that did the same Batman that Laughs cover with the fish hooked Robin doesn’t look as amazing as Mattina’s but I saw it before his cover image was ever released. Not a blatant rip-off like some of the others.
