Variants of the Week 12/18/2019

This weeks was a cover lover’s delight. Heck even DC put on a strong showing. There was three #1 issues that caught my eye. 5 indie titles. Submissions by Inhyuk Lee; Artgerm; Clayton Crain, Jeff Lemire, Jenny Frison, and Catherine Nodet ensured that I’ll have to make hard decisions at the next trip to the LCS. Oh and we are 4 issues into the Death Defying devil, and still no answer on why he needs to have spikes so close to the crotch.

Chastity Vol 2 #4 Cover L Incentive Catherine Nodet Black & White Cover

Dynamite: So I do like this cover by Nodet, who is still earning her bones but the incentive covers is an overkill.

Death-Defying Devil Vol 2 #4 Cover A Regular Inhyuk Lee Cover

Dynamite:

Vampirella Vol 8 #6 Cover T Incentive Adam Hughes Icon Edition Variant Cover
Dynamite:

Marvel Tales Annihilation #1 Cover B Incentive Inhyuk Lee Virgin Cover
Marvel:

Revenge Of The Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 Cover E Incentive Gerardo Zaffino Variant Cover

Marvel:

Star Wars Rise Of Kylo Ren #1Cover A Regular Clayton Crain Cover

Marvel: Its interesting that this is the best one of the bunch, and its not even one of the incentive variants

GLOW Vs The Babyface #2 Cover C Incentive Catherine Nodet Variant Cover

IDW: Catherine Nodet“s second appearance on this list, the opening interest was quick and decisive. With an incentive variant at 1:20 my thinking is that there may be in 150 in circulations.

Basketful Of Heads #3 Cover B Variant Tula Lotay Cover

DC:

Batman Vol 3 #85 Cover B Variant Francesco Mattina Card Stock Cover

DC: About time! Mattina has always drawn some good art for Batman, but lately there hasn“t been that much that grabbed me as interesting. Â At 35,000 in circulation I don“t see this selling out.

Harleen #3 Cover A Regular Stjepan Sejic Cover

DC: This title has some interesting numbers from 900-2000. Regardless of a lack of opening interest, this is one that I must have to get graded for the wall.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Multiverse #2

DC:

Joker Killer Smile #2 Cover B Variant Jeff Lemire Cover

DC:

SHAZAM Vol 2 #9 Cover B Variant Kaare Andrews Cover

DC:

Skulldigger And Skeleton Boy From The World Of Black Hammer #1 Cover B Variant Mike Deodato Jr Cover

DARKHORSE: Some of my premier rules of a sustainable is property is that the characters have got to recognizable, yet easy cosplay, Strong writers, discernible art, and characters with an interesting background story. Check on all these.
