Welcome to this weeks spec. This is where we pick the winners each week we (or shall I say myself) think will be spec worthy, a great read or just cool looking art on the cover.
Hang tight, it’s a bigger week for Marvel titles while everyone else seems to be limited..
Marvel Picks
Enter Vibranium Man in Avengers Forever #6. I just can’t shake the image of a condom commercial every time I read or hear Vibranium Man for some reason.
Avengers Forever #6 (Noto Skrull Variant)
I love this Ross regular cover for Black Panther #6.
Captain Marvel #38 is a title that’s had a few surprises along the way. Enter Binary as Captain Marvel is no more!
Captain Marvel #38 (Bazaldua Variant)
Carnage #3 (Barends Skrull Variant) gives us a pretty cool Barends variant.
Ghost Rider #3 seems like it’s had way too many delays. It’s about time it’s making its way to comic shelves.
Ghost Rider #3 (Mobili Spider-Man Variant) – Pretty kick ass variant.
Ghost Rider #3 (Momoko Variant) – Very slick looking Momoko variant. Already sold out at TFAW.
Ghost Rider #3 (Land 1:25 Variant) – Another cool ratio by Greg Land. Grab if you can find for cheap.
Miles Morales #38 is already selling out at some online retailers. The 1:50 is one to nab if you can find for cheap. At time of writing, TFAW only had the Miles Morales Spider-Man #38 (10 Copy Allen Design Variant) available.
Moon Knight #1 from 1980 gets the facsimile treatment. The original first print has skyrocketed in price from a few years back. If you didn’t nab an original copy then, this is the next best thing.
Strange #3 is another Barends cover that’s purely a winner based on the cover art despite something looking a little off on the left arm and hand..
Because anything is possible in Star Wars titles, we got two titles this week:
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #23
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #23 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant)
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #23 (Miyazawa Japanese Creator Variant)
Star Wars Darth Vader #23
Star Wars Darth Vader #23 (Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Variant)
Star Wars Darth Vader #23 (Okazaki Japanese Creator Variant)
DC Picks
Nothing stands out sadly! Just like FOC having nothing, not much coming out from DC this week.
Indie and Small Publisher Picks
Tynion fans will be seeking out Closet #1 (of 3) (Cover A – Fullerton).
Closet #1 (of 3) (Cover B – 25 Copy Oeming Variant)
Closet #1 (of 3) (Cover C – 50 Copy Shalvey Variant)
Closet #1 (Donovan TFAW Exclusive Variant)
Neverender #1 (Cover A – Kraft) is right up my alley. Dueling mixed in a sci fi setting. Ignore the cover art for the regular at TFAW, they’re being turds.. maybe the data entry intern was drinking too much coffee..
New Think #1 (of 5) (Cover A – Rahzzah) is another tech related title I’m looking forward to. Gotta love the Rahzzah regular for the first issue as well which I believe he’s doing the regular A covers for all the issues.
New Think #1 (of 5) (Cover B – Deodato Jr)
Triskele #1 is a new Scout book that really isn’t anything groundbreaking with the plot but I’m digging the cover art and if the interior is top notch, I might be on board.
