I wonder if any of the below has anything to do with this cover/issue getting interest?

  1. Art Adams and Magik = awesome
  2. Gaslamp
  3. New Mutants #25 Solicitation

There’s a lot of talk about Magik becoming the new Sorceror Supreme in Death of Dr Strange #4

Yeah, I feel like the November Solicitation either confirms it or is a big misdirect. Either way, I’m down for Magik taking up the title and the responsibility. Maybe she’ll use the opportunity to learn how to spell “Magic” correctly.

Magik becomes Sorcerer Supreme in that what if #1 if anyone wants to spec on that… I have a few copies I’ve been holding in case it happens on screen.

I think we also forgot about their “long-lost sister.” It is the previews for “Death Of Doctor Strange Bloodstone.”

ELSA AND THE FAMILY BLOODSTONE! Who better to defend Earth from magical invaders than monster hunter ELSA BLOODSTONE?! Elsa is the best there is at what she does - tough, skilled and clever enough to handle any problem…except her brother, CULLEN. They have issues, and they’ll have to put them aside not only to protect Earth but also to welcome the latest addition to the Bloodstone clan: their long-lost SISTER! Her awesome set of powers and unique Blood gem have placed a target on her back, and the worst horrors from beyond this realm are on the hunt.

Any reason? I am not following that book

Any idea what’s on the 1:10 design and Wolf variants?

There’s a ratio for DoDS #4 with Magik on the cover. Could it really be her?

Not sure, but I don’t really care for cover A and I’ve liked Wolf’s work in the past: https://www.instagram.com/thewolfmaria

It’s because KCC posted a “Magik Variants” section and this is at the top of the list.

Nothing spectacular, but the copies of Soul Plumber 1 have been steadily selling this week. Especially the B cardstock cover.

$3k+ sale

That’s crazy. Nice cover though

3,106 print run

Honestly, If I had unlimited funds, that Lizard cover by Campbell is a book that would be on top of my priorities. Always been in awe of that. I’m a big Campbell fan though.

I actually think Campbell should stop drawing Mary Jane and focus on other works. I actually like his other works. I don’t like seeing the same MJ pose on 95% of his works…

His females are what sell, the reason the Lizard book is so hot is not as many stores probably got it as there was no Mary Jane on the cover.

Oh I know but I don’t like his MJ female art anymore… it’s just been done 1 too many times now…

That book is over pumped bs from way back when it’s no low print there was 65,000 copies of Spider-Man 688 so 1250 copies of this 1:50 variant. In comparison Shang Chi #1 JSC 1:50 isn’t Mary Jane and has a smaller print run than amazing Spider-Man 688 but can be found for $50
