PiercingMetal Thoughts: As I’ve stated time and time again, while a for sure fan of these amazing variant covers, they are not something that I generally find myself hunting on the racks of my local comic book store. When I do manage to add something to my collection, I prefer a different single issue as opposed to a same title with a variant cover. Now I do sometimes make exceptions to the rule but its very rare nowadays. On a similar note, I am very excited for the “X-Men ’97” cartoon because I used to watch the original “X-Men: The Animated Series” way back when. I’m also rather happy that we were able to share “20” of the full “23” listed titles. I am not a fan when its a run of “20” comics and we get “5” images to share. I’m always looking to get all the information out rather than needing to go back into a post when other images get revealed if we are so lucky. So that’s all I have to share with you on this one so I will take my leave of you. Don’t worry I won’t be going too far and will be back again very soon with more. Chime in with what you think about these if you care too and I will see you next time. Please stay safe out there.
