Kinda shocked DC doesn't make a deal about the variants...aside from Harley variants.

I bought that Marvel hardcover of the Hip-Hop variants. It's just okay. I know it would have been a pain in the ass having to deal with record companies, but if they got the OK to reprint the original album covers alongside the variants, that book would have been downright amazeballs.

DC promotes stories not covers.

As a TWD comic fan who abandoned the show after season 3 or so I'm fascinated reading impressions from last nights episode. And the swings the reactions have taken. Right after people loved it. Then critics hated it? And now people are mixed?

It almost reminds me of the Red Wedding reactions on GoT.

Lol. Pre rebirth they had themed variant months. They even went as far as saying they were trying to be better about not releasing more than one or two variants per issue. Harley rebirth had 60 something variants and Batman rebirth had 100.

Oh and pre rebirth. Harley's 30 odd issue series has over 80 covers. Not including her minis which also have variants.

Yea that seems like an apt comparison. I'm not a fan of the show but I do appreciate the decision they went for on this one.

Sure but they weren't making such a big deal about it like Marvel is doing. DC is gonna make sure their universe is a main focus instead of a cover overtaking the story. How many people bought the Hip Hop variants and continued reading the books?

The best way to collect variant covers is to just save those jpegs.

Or buy the HC that collects them all.

It doesn't have to be the focus but they both still do it. How is a cover overtaking the story? It's a variant. I actually forgot that they were doing hip hop covers.

The hip hop covers were a fun thing just like when DC did movie covers. Both made a big deal about them. DC used to announce a variant theme every other month.

I have no problem with variants. I say this as someone who collects all Harley variants.

Congrats. You have an art book to put on your shelf next to the other art books.

DC has included some of them in the digital single issues

I like artbooks. The hip-hop variant book is just really bare-bones. The Star Wars covers book is better.

 

[Messi]

Anyone else read Deadpool #20? It's a really amazing one shot about a girl who is going to commit suicide and Wade sees her. Matteo Lolli does amazing art as always and the story is quite touching.

Isn't it like $50? Does it have any commentary from the artists?

 

[Freezasaurus]

What? No. It lists for $34.99. Aside from the variant piece it has a rough sketch or early version of the cover. No text or anything.

Nah, his other book, Cover Run is fantastic, though.

The art does look amazing but the story doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy.

It's a fun story that in the end has a good message. It's meant to help people.

That's a different post. Go back and read the original post and stop trying to be combative for no reason.

That's fine. It's still 160 covers. That's all my post was pointing out.

There are some notable mistakes in that article and the writer kinda contradicts himself a bit at the end. Other than that I agree that Marvel needs to do more.

Wonder why these books have no names attached yet.

And yeah, DC is smoking them on the LGBT department, Midnight/Apollo is better than the lesser Marvel books.

 

[Messi]

Her fans most likely. She is easily one if the biggest comic characters right now and has a fan base who loves her book.

We didn't get creative teams for Nova or the new X-books either. Marvel is choosing to hold off for whatever reason.

They've both eaten a ban. The question is who will win the best of three series.
