COVERS

 

Dan Mora variant covers of titles have done well on the aftermarket. Being a movie variant, this one could also have some heat should Milly Alcock appear at some conventions in the near future.

 

 

And another Dan Mora variant cover this week. This time with a shirtless Jason Momoa. Could this be worthy of beefcake cover speculation?

 

Daredevil #1 – 3rd Printing (Movie Variant)

Highlighting this cover as it’s a 3rd printing television variant featuring Charlie Cox, who I believe does frequent conventions. Another good cover for signatures, and being a 3rd print likely a low print run.

 

 

For you Ito collectors out there.

 

JUST THE FAX

 

This new printing comes with a blue foil variant. Something different, at least.

 

 

We’ve had a True Believers reprint a few years back…finally getting a fax treatment.

 

 

This got a facsimile treatment back in 2020, which actually sells for a decent amount (must’ve been a covid thing). This will kill its value, but what I’m highlighting here is the foil variant.

 

POTENTIAL FIRSTS

 

Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends. Final forms are revealed, and Scarecrow’s reign of terror threatens to upend everything.

 

 

Prepare to meet the likes of DAZZLESTORM, WOLVERINE-MAN, RAMBIT and MORE!

New characters in the Jeff-Verse. Hoping there is a second print with new characters on the cover.

 

INDY SPOTLIGHT

 

“THE UNBELIEVABLES,” Part One Among us are…The Unbelievables, and Tommy Townsend III—the world’s first 13-year-old trillionaire—wants to find them! His world abounds with wonder and spectacle, including a robot bodyguard named Sterling, all trying to make the world a better place. But Tommy learns quickly that money can’t buy everything…and propels himself on a journey that sets the stage for this entire new universe!

Not the first appearance of Trillion Dollar Kid, but the first in title. Maybe some other new characters from the Unbelievables will premiere. Could be a hit. This is a two book series.

 

Parting Thoughts

And that’s it! Nothing really standing out, but perhaps some sleepers in the making. Getting this out earlier this week. Happy Memorial Day as well! Later!
