Mel’s Variant of the Year Poll

1. My vote goes to Avengers #7 Crain Variant not on the list.

2. I really think this should be in 3 categories. Regular cover, incentive variant and store variant. The winner from each face each other in the final showdown.

   1. Death match.

      1. 3 books enter, one book leaves.

   2. That is an awesome idea!

   3. I wanted to do a Store Variant,but To Be Honest i really was not paying attention to store variants lol

      1. Let’s get recommendations. I will run the poll

3. you already know which one already won. No poll needed lol

   1. Not really its reader choice.

      1. 52% very impressive, /how long will the poll last ?

   2. I really like BG23, but in all honesty, I think BG20 is Middletons gem in that run.

      

   3. Middleton has a few good books prior to 23 in that run. Been grabbing them when I see the in NM shape…becoming scarce.

4. Thanks Mel V. I always try to get one from your list when I buy. You’re my variant guy. Yes, I gotta variant guy.

5. Where is The Ghost Spider Jee Hyung Lee variant?

   1. it should be there

6. I cant think of a specific book (Dredd: Final Judgement #1 maybe), but, I feel like the poll is incomplete without a Jock cover to choose from. It just doesn’t feel right. Wheres the love for Jock?

   1. Final Jdgement wasn’t a variant cover. Not sure what Jocks done for variants other than shop variants this year….and I can’t think of any of them either other than the recent grim knight shop variant that just came out…wasn’t that impressive either. Cool, but not “I have to have that” cool. His Action 1000 was alright too, but not worthy of this list either.

      We need a “Best A Comer of the Year” poll now…

      1. “Cover” not “comer”….dammit!

      2. Ah, yes. You are correct. That Dredd Jock was not a variant.
         In my personal opinion, Jock is the best cover artist out there, right now. IMO, he never missess.

7. Love me Carol Danvers but I’m sorry, Middleton Batgirl set off like crazy.

8. It’s definitely Batgirl #23, no question about it.

9. What, no batgirl checking her email???

10. Surprised that none of the Mattinas made the list

    1. Thrawn #1 is a Mattina and is on the list. Beautiful cover. I had one signed by him at NYCC. It’s going to take something serious for me to let go of it. Thrawn + Mattina + 1:50 = PC Royalty

11. Need a ” best shop variant of the year” poll.

    1. Oh. Already been said. Haha…moving a little slow today.

       1. What covers would you recommend for best shop variant. We can get one going

       2. X-Men Red #1 Jee-Hyung Lee X-23 variant is outstanding. I bought some….the cover art just kept pulling me to it.

          1. I just sold one the other day. It is a great cover.

       3. Thanos Legacy Crain variant (Scorpion Comics)
          Amazing Spider-Man 796 Crain variant (comicxposure)
          Amazing Spider-Man 799 Parillo (comic mint)
          Venom #1 First Host Dell Otto (scorpion comics)
          Dark Night Metal 5 Dell Otto ( bullet proof)
          Weapon H #1 Crain (comic mint/Frankie’s)

          If I think of more I’ll pass them along.

12. BG23 by a landslide.

13. Batgirl 23 for me please

14. I feel Deadpool #5 the garbage pal kids cover should be on the list.o.k. not a variant but just a sweet cover .my top covers for 2018 are batgirl #23 ghost spider 31 1in 1000 and Deadpool g.p.k. homage #testify blind adam out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PybjWHc1BBo

15. you beat me to it i also like deadpool 5

    1. Why we need a cover A of the year.

16. Amazing spider man #11 conan variant . nice colors, plausible setting.wish the cover was the inside story

17. Batgirl 24B is my fave.
