- Anyone else feel that there are just too many variants nowadays? Seems as though almost every issue has at least two lately. I'm totally down for 1st issue variants and milestone issue variants, but come on enough is enough.
Just posting on here as it seems as though many variants are showing up on the Hot Items thread.
What are everyone's all time fav variants? Lets post some pics

- Yeah I agree with you, way too many and should only be with #1 issues, there's lots of cool variants to me, I've always been a huge scotty young fan so I love all he does. One of my all time favorites though is Thor #601b, that cover just cracks me up and is so unique. it stands out because it's different than all other covers, especially thor covers showing action and such

- Not at all... It gives us a chance to see additional art from great artists that we wouldn't see otherwise. Personally I love the variety of cover art that we have today. Keep in mind you don't have to buy variant issues. Some weeks I don't buy any variants but still like to see the additional cover art.

- I don't think there are too many. I think the prices for them are insanely stupid. I do like being able to see more artwork and if I can get one I like for close to cover then I will buy one. Otherwise I don't even worry about it.

- Thanks for all the great comments everyone.
I love the extra artwork too. I guess I'm just frustrated with the insane prices and the volume which makes it tough to keep track of everything...
Anyway my fav. is probably Ghost Rider #34 Wolverine variant, always thought is was pretty cool.

- WAY too many variants which are killing the collector market, imo.
It gets to the point that the only comics worth any decent money (new comics) are the variant covers which are impossible to find for cheap. I do hope that once the demand for them goes down since the print runs are less for some of them, that the 1st original printing of the books will start to come up in price.
I find it very tough and very hard to collect with all of these variants for EVERY issue of a comic book, especially the most popular of superheroes like ASM for example. It's getting out of hand......glad someone started this thread, gives me a chance to finally rant about this subject =)
