Agree
Ditto.
Easy for you to say Tyler, you're getting buried with the best Mark and Eve cover. I'd rate 58 over the TPB cover, but I'd rate certain trade covers over a lot of single issue covers. This cover sold for less than the Dinosaurus solo cover. I'd rate a cover with a happy Mark and Eve, and Nolan and Debbie over that.
Edited to add that Tyler also has the second best Mark and Eve cover..... Forgot about that part, and also probably figure that you'll end up getting the #118 cover. So you'll have three of the probably 5 best covers with them.
Allow me to chime in...
Ryan's art work on the TPB covers is sick! I think that is what makes the covers valuable. On most, if not all, TPB covers you get a full scale image of Mark/Invincible with a couple more characters scattered in the background. Great! Awesome! Clearly collectable and valuable! The best thing a TPB cover has going for it versus a splash page, like most covers, is the art work is "cover quality" and its a "cover"! <- If that makes sense. In other comic series the TPB cover vs single cover argument would easily go to the single covers but with Ryan and the Invincible TPB cover's the argument is a little more tuff to find a right or wrong answer. Some single issue covers are more simple that the TPB covers, adding more fuel to the fire. I think anyone that is has the OA to any cover is lucky. Cover's are the top of the food chain for OA collectors and in general, if you ask any OR collector he would tell you single issue covers have more "collectable value" than TPB covers. But again, I will say this might not be the case with Ryan Ottley and Invincible... I think it is more of an even race in this case.
My personal opinion is that single issue covers for the more part are more collectable and valuable. A single issue cover that is tied to a major event, character first appearance, or character death is something a TPB can never claim.
On another note.... I recently bought my first Invincible cover from Ryan's website. I bought #39. WOOT WOOT! I could have bought a TPB cover with multiple characters but my thinking was... this is an EARLY single issue cover. Versus buying a more recent cover or more recent TPB cover... I put more weight on that older item. AND the space ship took Ryan 4 days to draw and is FREAKING AWESOME!
