I might preorder the Yoshitaka Amano Variant cover because I’m a fan of Yoshitaka Amano and the cover is beautiful.I don’t know if it has long term staying power,but the cover is hard for me to pass up.
I ordered them for the personal collection. I can say my LCS got the previous team variants and sold them at $19.99, so I skipped them. these I scooped up
To be fair comparing the fans before doing more comics that Amano and Peach have is kind of apples and oranges. Amano doesn’t NEED to get any new fans to already be a super popular and well-known/respected artist.
Love the Yoshitaka cover. I am really not a fan of how they made this so smaller shops cant order it though. I feel like it sets a bad precedent for the industry.
Well, I’m just speaking perhaps with comic book collectors… Momoko had her fans prior to comics, it took a bit for her to get crazy popular beyond her initial fan base…
Right. The difference is that there are millions of Amano fans out there in the world already who may not be comic fans, so the possible number of people who find out about this later on and want it just for the art is magnitudes higher than it would have been for Peach starting out.
