ASM #1 Vol. 3 Store Exclusive Variants? - Neal Adams, Perkins, Samnee

[JakeM]

I've been seeing a lot of store exclusive variants popping up recently for the upcoming ASM re-launch.

Most notably, Neal Adams' cover is exclusive to a store here in Montreal, ExpertComics.

 

There's Discount Comic Book Services' cover by Chris Samnee.

 

And finally, Mile High's by Mike Perkins.

 

Out of curiosity, besides the Midtown exclusive variants which haven't surfaced yet, are there any I'm missing?

Lord this is getting ridiculous.

Lord this is getting ridiculous.

 

It has been:

[Whizzer]

 

 

Granov goodness.

[Jimmy Linguini]

The Neal Adams expert comics one has to be because of how terrible the Montreal comic con variant turned out three years ago, and how Neal charged huge bucks and wouldn't include the oa.

[LarrysComics]

heard there were close to thirty in the works...

good luck with that.

 

[ygogolak]

 

 

Granov goodness.

 

Now that's a cover. The Adams one looks too heavy handed. The feet are the best part. (Are you listening Liefeld?)

[bababooey]

I still like this one best.

[ygogolak]

I still like this one best.]

 

That one is sweet too. I like it as an art piece, I'm not sold on deferring from the regular ASM banner.

Lord this is getting ridiculous.

The more ridiculous, the better. Maybe some overkill can cure the market of the multiple variant trend.

[kuddy]

Just found one more variant from Brave New World/Laughing Ogre:

Keep in mind, all these variants are just the store variants and not the regular (1:25, 1:50, etc.) variants. It's getting pretty stupid.

I like collecting variants because a lot of the time the variants are nicer covers, but even I'm getting tired of the 30 different covers that come out. I think their strategy of creating collectibility is doing the opposite. But anything for money I guess.

I don't get why it bothers people so much. It helps the company/market and you can avoid them if you want. I'll occasionally pick up one or two if I really like the cover, but otherwise I stay away.

 

As an ASM collector, more power to Marvel if they can release 50 covers and sell well. It looks like they'll do well with this one.

Oh and just a heads up: You can order all the Midtown Variants directly from Midtown for $34. They are going on eBay for more already and I'm not sure why.
