šŸ¤© EyeCandy: DC Variant Covers/Artists Collection

This is a nice palate cleanser after The Clickbait That Shall Not Be Named.

(I wish I could get it too, @DC89, but I donā€™t have a good source to do so. I think Iā€™ll just be getting the collected edition whenever it comes out, which will hopefully have all the variants in the back.)

@Angel212 It better beā€”I have a whole rant for it, if not. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Donā€™t try to turn it into a big story down the line, DC!

The Justice League Infinity variant? Yeah, Iā€™ve seen that.

Darkseid wanting to be with WW happened at least two or three times in Super Friends, plus that variant is probably a throw-away, shock value variant, as some are.

If weā€™re talking about something else though, I may be at a loss, ATM.

Same here @Angel212- eBay vendors and my other spots are charging crazy:heavy_dollar_sign: for it. Thatā€™s why I donā€™t like buying variants via the web before they actually get released. So many of the sellers over-inflate pre-release pricing for minimal TD covers. Then the cover winds up either dropping in price/value by at least 50% 'cuz consumers give up trying to find them OR the artificial price boosting raises the value of the comic way past grade value and stays at that lofty price moving forward. So many of the Detective Comics #1000 variants wound up pricing out this way. :flushed:

Thereā€™s some clickbait that might amount to nothing, but this.

And yes, I have a LOT to say about it if it should not just be a stupid random thing. :face_with_monocle::purple_heart:


Speaking of thingsā€¦ :bat:

Oh yeah, the JLI variant I mentioned. :slight_smile:

Like I said, itā€™s probably a shock value thing that wonā€™t mean diddily, in the long run. Some variants are like that.

Iā€™m not saying that overrides strong feelings anyone has about it, certainly. Not by a longshot.

However, Iā€™ve seen enough of those ā€œshockingā€ variants over the years from every publisher where I just roll my eyes at their attempted ā€œshock valueā€, enjoy a good laugh to myself and move on to books I do like.

Besides, I highly doubt Diana will end up with Darkseid. Sheā€™s absolutely not falling for the gutter trash of the galaxy/Multiverse, as our lady is far, FAR too good for his ass, which deserves to be imprisoned in the Source Wall (again).

Oh absolutely. We never know if thatā€™s whatā€™s going on inside the book. I like when they are just for the sake of art sometimes, but every once in a while thereā€™s one that is justā€¦ cheap. And ew.:expressionless: And I hope goes no where. :purple_heart:

Yes, this is what I was referring to.

And yes, I will be joining the tirade with you if that happens, @Razzzcat. :roll_eyes:

Well, one thingā€™s for sure: The folks in the Marketing Department did their job, as weā€™re all talking about it, good or bad feelings, which will spur some to buy the issue and see whatā€™s inside.

I havenā€™t read Justice League Infinity yet, but again, I wouldnā€™t be surprised if Diana pulls a fast one on Darkseid and ends up giving him a good 'ol kick 'tween his stones (which are probably teeny, and would explain why heā€™s always such an overbearing @$$hole, 24/7) as he so rightfully deserves.

Exactly. #GutterTrash is right! :laughing: It makes no sense, thatā€™s why itā€™s cheap and stupid. Honestly, I can think of better villains if they want to write that story, so itā€™s not even funny or interesting as a variant! smh :facepalm_catwoman: I donā€™t get it.

[edit] The marketing people should make better decisions than relying on drama all the time, or fishing for free ideas from the Internet like that. Likeā€¦ really?

Anyway!! Hereā€™s a thingā€”enjoy! :wink:

My will in holding off on Wonder Woman: Black and Gold is cracking, as more and more art is shown here.

Notes that heā€™ll have 3 openings in his pull list in the next month
