PiercingMetal Thoughts: Straight up I will admit that Spider-Man’s villains are some of my favorites in the comic book medium and I feel the only other grouping of rogues that comes close is that of Batman from the other side of the publishing fence. Still, with that being said I don’t really purchase the variant covers of any of these issues despite thinking that they are cool as heck and will really make some collectors long boxes all the more awesome. I’m sad to only be able to share four images with you all but that was what got sent to the Geek Press and depending on how long they take to send more will find me either making some brand-new posts or coming back to edit and update this one. Frankly speaking I don’t mind new posts since I am a content creating machine over here during the still ongoing pandemic. What do you readers think about these four preview covers for the “Spider-Man Villains Variants” and which ones are you definitely going to secure from this lot? I’ll ask that again when and if we get more covers in the coming months. June is still pretty far away after all. Thanks for reading I will see you next time around. Stay safe.
