(Apologies to Mel. V this should have gone up last night with the rest of the site updates.)

What’s up CHU? Mel V. here with the variant pick of the week. I feel like I am finally hitting my stride here. Especially after the Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #2 Gwenpool variant popped this past week. I know the comments panned it when I wrote about it.

Remember, some variants go up, some go down, but as long as you are buying art that you like you will always win. Anyway on to my pick. Continue reading “Mel’s Variant Pick of the Week for 9/16/15”

Update: Amazing Spiderman Renew Your Vows #5

Well I finally got the images from friends in the UK and can say this issue is confusing as heck. Cannot see why the push for the variants. 

In fact it is a pretty standard Spidey Story but you throw in Annie, Spider-Man’s daughter. <!–more–>
So unless I am missing something big, the only real thing is Mary Jane wearing Regent’s armor for a brief period of time. 

   
 

Original Story follows:

So a while back Terry Hoknes of www.hoknescomics.com sent me an email asking me if I knew what was up with Amazing Spider-man Renew Your Vows #5. He mentioned that it was odd for Marvel to do 1:100, 1:150, and 1:250 variants for a fifth issue of a mini-series. My obvious reaction was “Marvel must have something big up their sleeves.” Possibly a new character. I asked around some shops I am friendly with and everyone had the same answer, “Marvel has been tight lipped on this one.” Continue reading “Update: Amazing Spiderman Renew Your Vows #5”
