What Up CHU? Mel V. here with your Weekly Variant Picks for May 9TH. WELCOME TO ANOTHER VARIANT Tuesday night. We have got some real lookers for tomorrow, so lets not waste any time.
BPRD Devil You Know #6 Cover B Variant Mike Mignola Cover – Just a really great looking Hellboy cover..
Detective Comics Vol 2 #980 Cover B Variant Rafael Albuquerque Cover – Albuquerque has had a great run on these Tec covers. Add this one to the list of greatness.
Exiles Vol 5 #3 Cover C Incentive Game Variant Cover – Variant of the week. If issue 2 was any indicator of how tough these were to find then this could be very sought after.
Flash Vol 5 #46 Cover B Variant Francesco Mattina Cover – Mattina Rules. I love Mattina, head shot works, PC for me.
Scooby Apocalypse #25 Cover B Variant Bryan Hitch Cover – Rumor has it something happens that should make this a nice quick flip.
WWE #17 Cover D Incentive Hyeonjin Kim Virgin Variant Cover – I almost missed out on the incredible WWE 16 Bliss cover.. I won’t be missing this one. The Empress of Tomorrow has a great fan base and this wont be easy to find. One available at Mycomicshop.com
Ordered 3 of the Asuka covers. Not the greatest visually, but she is already a legend. Folks will want these and her action figure variant from issue 3 is a ghost.
Why is Detective Comics abr. as Tec? Anyone know? Ive always wondered that.
deTECtive comics
Thank you, Dan. Do you know why Tec is used to abbreviate Detective? Why Tec and not Det or DC? Just curious.
I think it’s just a semantics thing. If you say “I bought the new DC book today” well that could cause confusion. “Tec” rolls off the tongue easier than “Det.”
I’ve though way too much about this now. ?
Right on, right on. Thx, Dan. Today is going to be a good day. ?
Albuquerque has been killing, I’d put him up there with Middleton as far as quality covers.
