This is a nice palate cleanser after The Clickbait That Shall Not Be Named.
(I wish I could get it too, @DC89, but I donāt have a good source to do so. I think Iāll just be getting the collected edition whenever it comes out, which will hopefully have all the variants in the back.)
The Justice League Infinity variant? Yeah, Iāve 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 weāre talking about something else though, I may be at a loss, ATM.
Same here @Angel212- eBay vendors and my other spots are charging crazy for it. Thatās why I donāt 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.
Like I said, itās probably a shock value thing that wonāt mean diddily, in the long run. Some variants are like that.
Iām not saying that overrides strong feelings anyone has about it, certainly. Not by a longshot.
However, Iāve seen enough of those āshockingā variants over the years from every publisher where I just roll my eyes at their attempted āshock 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. Sheās 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 thatās whatās going on inside the book. I like when they are just for the sake of art sometimes, but every once in a while thereās one that is justā¦ cheap. And ew. And I hope goes no where.
Well, one thingās for sure: The folks in the Marketing Department did their job, as weāre all talking about it, good or bad feelings, which will spur some to buy the issue and see whatās inside.
I havenāt read Justice League Infinity yet, but again, I wouldnāt 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 heās always such an overbearing @$$hole, 24/7) as he so rightfully deserves.
Exactly. #GutterTrash is right! It makes no sense, thatās why itās cheap and stupid. Honestly, I can think of better villains if they want to write that story, so itās not even funny or interesting as a variant! smh I donāt 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?
