PiercingMetal Thoughts: Now before I submit my usual “I rarely purchase variant covers” notion into the mix I should also admit that I’ve never once watched the “Phineas and Ferb” animated series. Before I penned this whole post up I asked around since I only knew it in name and not much else but I learned that it was quite funny so maybe when the new series rolls around I will look into it a little more. Especially since it will be on Disney+ which I am paying for anyway. Sorry that I cannot share all three of the covers with you but they only sent out two of them to their media servicing list. I wonder what you think about them and also if you had watched the show at all when it was originally airing. Do please chime in down below in the comments if you are a fan. I’d love to hear what you think.
