PiercingMetal Thoughts: At the time of this writing we’ve only received the variant cover that was done by the great John Romita and I expect that a whole lot more will be heading our way. In the interest of time and our ability to get to everything, whenever a new cover is released to the press channels, I will add it onto this post. Stay tuned and please feel free to chime in down below and let us know what you think of them.
