Variants of the Week 11/27/2019

There was a lot of books to read through and as always some of the Books were late. Nonetheless, even though I wasn“t too excited as far as long-term value on any of the books. There were some who depending on what you like will make for a good read, and some who“s opening High Opening interest are obviously a bit of stretch. Though I only have a few books listed here keep an eye on the indie books, I read a few that had a decent story and good interiors, but low opening interest so I didn“t list them here. The Masters of course make an appearance on this list One of them was a keep your money.

Last God #2

Riccardo Federici for the cover, and the interior isn’t that bad either.

Killadelphia #1 Cover B Incentive Francesco Mattina

Scream Curse Of Carnage #1 Cover B Variant Stanley Artgerm Lau Cover (Absolute Carnage Tie-In)

Overall there were some good elements in here that I eventually wanted to see, but not t right now. A lot of the stuff felt kind of crammed in, which resulted in a very difficult to detect narrative story structure, but I will allow it since I can see what it is trying to set up. All that to say that you may want to consider picking this up.

Action Comics Vol 2 #1017 Cover B Variant Lucio Parrillo Card Stock Cover (Year Of The Villain)

I love Lucio Parrillo, Superman images, and the cover to this comic is incredible. It has Superman looking a little superior and almost demonic, yet still comes through looking heroic in a timeless, iconic way. Large number for Action Comics, and the fact that it is a stock cover will be the reason that it eludes rarity. Parillo fans should have this on their radar.

Vengeance Of Vampirella Vol 2 #2 Cover M Limited Edition Lucio Parrillo Virgin Cover

I’m torn on this cover. It does have a genuinely creepy concept with the cemetery background and skulls, and Parillo makes good use of the space; however, but something seems kind of off: The warped design of the wings looks awkward; the hands look weirdly off somehow; and the gratuitous nature is kind of a put off, but I guess this is the best way to sell the book, so I guess it works.

Avengers Vol 7 #27 Cover C Incentive Starbrand Variant Cover 1:50

I don“t trust the opening interest on this book. It is fun in that hey let“s throw something on the wall to see if sticks kind of away, but the mash-up here doesn“t do it for me. There are about 3 characters involved in this story line whose 1^st appearances combined I could probably pickup for less than this ratio price.
