We all hate store variants but

Messing with copyrights owned by the most famous entertainment company in the world is playing with fire. I’m honestly surprised the Tiggom/Pooh stuff in particular has 1. lasted beyond one or two issues, and 2. hasn’t received a cease-and-desist letter.

The thing about cease and desist letters is you have to be willing to back them up with a law suit. If you don’t they are no good. They could well play into that parody protection but as Wooky said it’s not a good defense always.

Boundless has had some pretty extreme covers. They sell well online.

Disney has no issue filing a lawsuit. Just add it to the pile.

That’s how midichlorians look when you use Jedi Vision.

Joker #1- Batman 251 Neal Adams cover swipe by…Neal Adams!

Full disclosure, I’m friends with the owner of the shop, but it is a sweeeeeeet cover.

drunkwooky · February 2, 2021, 12:28am

I appreciate the full disclosure. That, plus the fact it’s reasonably priced AND cool makes this one of the better store variants. It just needs a virgin, then a foil, then a negative, then a negative of that negative, each limited to 50, with a filmed bon fire to burn the extras. Jk

I am not down with that Exclusive. I am down with those Design Variants. That top one with the Yellows and Purples is , the art is out there but that’s what makes it great. The bottom one is just one you have to have also. This is a regular Design 1:10 right?

Here’s the cover for it:

This is the 1:25 Nakayama, it’s not a store variant

Thanks for posting that. I bought it blind yesterday because I’m a big fan on Nakayama. I’m not disappointed.

New comic mint cover coming soon

LoveBox · February 2, 2021, 5:21pm

Damn that ones pretty ugly

Ybeezy · February 2, 2021, 5:23pm

Yeah that one’s awful.

drunkwooky · February 2, 2021, 5:27pm

Badass. I pre-ordered.

agentpoyo · February 2, 2021, 5:39pm

That one is almost worse than their awful We Live variant they did…

drunkwooky · February 2, 2021, 5:41pm

Is this supposed to be some MMA pre-fight preening type cover?

Joe · February 2, 2021, 5:52pm

I think because there are 893 covers for each Venom issue, every cover kinda looks the same to me. One of the reasons why I’m killing this title as a regular pull after 33.

Jester00 · February 2, 2021, 5:55pm

Yea it’s really bad. I believe the source material is Rocky vs Drago

The geriatric fanfic version, apparently.

Looks like Knull scolding an angry-yet-ashamed puppy.
