Mel V.’s Variant Picks for April 24, 2019

What Up CHU? Mel V back with your weekly Variant list. Its been kinda quiet on the variant home front, this week things pick up. We have a cover of the year candidate that I ABSOLUTELY love ..plus some sneaky sleepers ..so lets get right to it


Amber Blake 2 1:10 Variant – The issue 1 variant is insane right now,  I think that issue 2 variant will be tougher to find . If you have not read issue one, its definitely worth a check out. Good luck in your hunts with this one


Dick Tracy Forever #1 Cover C Incentive Kyle Baker Variant Cover – I gotta admit, as a kid I did not like Dick Tracy at all. This is an amazing artist piece by Mr Baker of the yellow coat detective. It just stands out to me ..Solid work


Electric Black #1 Cover B Variant Cover – I checked this back in Baltimore Comic Con last year with Anthony. Get ready for a wild read, you guys will not be disappointed


GI Joe Sierra Muerte #3 1:10 Variant – This could be a bit of a sleeper  in my opinion. Something about this cover grabs me. I’m figuring the print run will be small… great art with 2 females from the GI Joe universe gracing the cover. I’m keeping an eye on this one


Marvel Comics Presents Vol 3 #4 Cover B Incentive Variant Cover – I LOVE THIS COVER …There is a crazy auction on eBay (personally I don’t think its legit). Man, I want this one real bad.. Cover of the Year Candidate. Bill Sienkiewicz at the top of his game.


Marvel Rising #2 Cover B Incentive Savanna Ganucheau Variant Cover –Cute, almost Anime feel to it. This cover featuring two of Marvels rising stars


Star Wars Vader Dark Visions #3 Cover B Incentive Yasmine Putri Variant Cover –Dark Visions has been fantastic so far ,another series I recommend you should be checking out.This one has a Vader love interest ..ohhh weeee lol


Thanos Vol 3 #1 Cover F Incentive Gerardo Zaffino Variant Cover – Zaffino, Mr. Immortal Hulk #2, shares his rendition of Thanos. This will be a tough 9.8 with Marvels notorious color rub and crappy paper. This should not be to tough to find in the wild

  1. Hey Mel, I know it isn’t directly about your picks this week, but it is related to a variant and this week’s releases…I have a question. Do you recall an issue of Descenders that had a variant when Image did that 20 years in the future theme? I remember thinking that it was the first appearance of the new Ascender world, and possibly the protagonist of the new book. Is this something you can confirm, and if so, is this an easy-to-find variant we should try to hunt for? Thoughts? Thanks. Love the article every week; gives me great direction for what to nab at the lcs!

  2. Double bag dark back covers to avoid color rubbing off. I recommend doing this otherwise in a year you’ll pull out that one hot comic that you think you have in 9.8, only to,be devastated it’s in 9.4 because a fair amount of the cover transferred over to your backing board…
