Thank you all for reading and checking out my articles. Lets get into this week’s offerings.


Deadpool Assassin #1 Cover B Variant Bill Sienkiewicz Cover – Mr. Sienkiewicz has been turning out some great covers these past few weeks. A great cover that’s priced well and should be easy to find

Detective Comics Vol 2 #982 Cover B Variant Mark Brooks Cover– week in and week out, I tell you guys how much I’m loving DC “B” not so much virgin variants. I love Brooks style on this version of Batman. Visually superb.

Flash Vol 5 #48 Cover B Variant Francesco Mattina Cover – LOL y’all should know the Mel rule by now.. if it is Mattina, and its cheap, pick it up. Mattina is such a fantastic artist.

Hawkman Vol 5 #1 Cover B Variant Stjepan Sejic Cover – HOLY COW What an amazing cover, this one slipped under my radar up until the other day, I want these several of these. Fantastic art by Mr Sejic. Art-wise, cover of the week for me

Heavy Metal #290 Cover C Ayute Aydogdu – Shout out to my boy Emilliano B. This is his sleeper cover of the week and I gotta agree with him, this is a fantastic and sick variant. Aykut Aydogdu is the artist, check out his art on his Instagram @aykutmaykut page GOOD LAWD he’s damn fine with the art .

Marvel Rising Alpha #1 Cover C Incentive Stacy Lee Variant Cover – Shout out to Matt Devoe on this one, the comic introduction of the Marvel Rising division. This series will revolve around Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl (with some special guest appearances) as they learn what it truly takes to become the next generation of Marvel heroes! I’m not sure if a lot of stores ordered heavy on this on, but the 1:35 seems to be doing well in the aftermarket. I’m keeping an eye on this one

Zinnober #1 Cover B Variant Cover – Shout out to Clint J. for showing me this beautiful variant cover for the new book from our friends at Scout comics. Anthony has a great interview from the creators about the book you can check out here. The premise of the book sounds like something I can get into. Absolutely gonna scoop up a copy

Marvel Two-In-One Vol 3 Annual #1 Cover B Variant Pyeong Jun Park Cover – T shirt worthy. For all of you Fantastic Four fans, not for nothing, this Marvel Two-In – One series has had some great covers

    1. My money is on the 1:25 ward variant. It actually shows the moment before the reveal and elements on the cover directly tie into the new character.

  1. Talk about doing a cash grab. Trying to capitalize on weapon h cosmic ghost rider type mashups. Wait till you see it. Btw Zinnober cover b now on Kucinich for $3.19.

    1. Hi, my name is Marvel. I can’t come up with new super heroes like they use to do back in the good ‘ol days so I’ll just take two existing characters, combine them into one character and POOF!, a new cool character because you know.. YOU DEMANDED IT! 😉

  2. marvel 2 in 1 is #awesomesauce. thor well I miss jane as thor.but this mash up might be great.red goblin was great. cosmic ghost rider was great. weapon h well he sucks big time. but I enjoy te money he makes me . love you guys blind adam out

  3. I think the only variant I’m going with this week is Suicide Squad cover B. Mattina killed it, or killed them haha.
