Marvel Unveils “The New Mutants” Variant Covers For March

February 15, 2018 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Though the news about these latest variant covers came up in January, I’ve decided to wait until they were closer to hitting the racks so those interested could request their comic book dealer to save or order them the necessary copies. These covers will offer up “The New Mutants” who will be the stars of their own 20th Century Fox film soon. Let’s take a look at the ones that were shared with the press. If any others arrive I will edit them into this same piece.

The Press Release:
This March, a paranormal mystery will be unleashed in the Marvel Universe…and only the members of the NEW MUTANTS can stop it! In celebration of this six-issue limited series from writer Matt Rosenberg and artist Adam Gorham, Marvel is excited to announce the NEW MUTANT VARIANT COVER PROGRAM, featuring dark portraits of your favorite Marvel heroes from acclaimed artists such as Dan Mora, Declan Shalvey, Mike Deodato and more. Look for Marvel’s New Mutant variant covers on these select titles:

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.

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.

Out Now: Hasbro’s “Marvel Legends Series” X-Men “Warlock” Build-A-Figure

June 26, 2017 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

These figures have been out for a couple of months depending on where you might be shopping but my local store only just got their entire set the other day and that let’s me share all of the images with you of this new “Marvel Legends Series” which is 100% X-Men themed. As readers know, the X-Men films are NOT tied into the Marvel Cinematic Universe so these would not be movie related figures and are instead more in line with the current comic book versions which I don’t mind at all. There are “7” figures making up this set and they are Colossus, Shatterstar, Dazzler, Polaris, Cyclops, Sunfire and Old Man Logan. Each of these figures (except the Old Man Logan one) include a piece of the Warlock alien that was a part of the “New Mutants” for a number of years. I snagged these images with my mobile device this time around and have the front and back of the packaging. They were taken at Galaxy Comics in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and you can check out their Yelp right HERE.
