Hola my Marvel Comics Legions, its time for us to raise the hammer high and head over the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard as the House Of Ideas celebrates The Mighty Thor with this batch of variant covers on select titles. I received this back in January but we like to post it closer to its arrival so you can ask your retailer for the copies you want the most. Here we go.

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:

The news about these awesome “Avengers” variants first hit back in October, but since they only shared “5” cover images in that release and I had other comic items to put on your radar, I waited until today to do this one. Now we have “15” of the “21” total covers so I hope you enjoy them all.
