For many years, “The Incredible Hulk” was one of my very favorite Marvel Comics titles to read and this might have been helped by the Lou Ferrigno television show but I digress. This February Marvel celebrates the Jade Giant with a series of variant covers. I’ve shared the ones that were released to press for you below along with the brief statement about them. Check it out.
The Press Release:
He’s back. He’s mad as hell. And you’ve never seen a Hulk this angry before. This February, Marvel will help appease the green goliath’s anger by introducing the HULK VARIANT COVER PROGRAM. Showcasing key moments in the Hulk’s past life, these covers will feature art by some of the industry’s top creators and rising stars, including Mike McKone, Marco Checchetto, Stephanie Hans, Dale Keown, Ron Lim, and more.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Aren’t these great? They are enough to make any puny human say “HULK SMASH” for sure. Now though we love sharing the variant covers with you, we’re not the biggest supporter of them as a consumer ourself. I’ve got my financial hands full with the conventional issues that I add to the collection each and every week but of this list I am definitely snagging the first issue presented here but in its standard edition. What do you readers think of this new variant cover program? There sure have been a lot of them from the Marvel Comics side of the fence lately. You can chime in down below with what you think about them. Ciao for now.
