PiercingMetal Thoughts: It’s without a doubt that these are some awesome variant covers and they call us back to so much of the rich history of the Marvel Comics universe of classic stories. That being said, I think you all know my stance by now on the variants. Like them as much as I do, I don’t add them to my collection since I need the extra disposable cash for a copy of something else as opposed to a second of any other titles. A lot of my collector friends are mavens for them though and that is why I never mind sharing this kind of news. Wrapping it all up I wonder what you in the comic collecting crew think about these and will you be adding some of them to your collection. Chime in down below and I will see you next time around. Please stay safe out there.
