I feel like many stores may have over extended themselves with NYCC exclusivesâŠif you look back at this thread there hasnât been a lot of exclusives announced lately for Marvel and DC. Or itâs #1 issues or foil-ized variants of sexy covers that have variants.
So Hulk with a new GR may not be âsexyâ enough to sell to shops an exclusive cover/art.

Oh, and amazing Spider-Man. Why every issue needs an exclusive is beyond meâŠ
So what is up with the whole Mexican foil fad? Why are these covers piling up when there isnât even a regular facsimile out in English?
Ultra popular Mexican Foil format?
asm sells, stores are narrowing it down,
Alot of popular Youtubers push La Mole Mexican reprint stuff. Iâve watched them do so.
And if they push it, people seem to care. I certainly donât.

I have some of the early La Mole convention variants. Great J Scott Campbell covers in English language books.
I have the following La Mole variants:
Wolverine #13 La Mole. Wolverine wearing Deadpoolâs outfit.
ASM #12 JSC (x2). Black Cat cover
Ultimate Fallout #4 FOIL
Star Wars #1. This is a bad a$$ Boba Fett cover.
I like them for my collection. Publishers are definitely on foil rampage and ultimately spoils the unique-ness. If everything is special or rare, then nothing is special or rare.

Speaking of, I saw a green label 9.9 for sale at NYCC and was asking something north of 1000$ for it. so absurd. I even ran into Clayton Crain with his bae (spidergwen cosplayed?). That whole situation puts such a bad taste inn my mouth, I canât really go near new crain books anymore.

There are certain dealers who reek of the stench of slime.
Then there are some artists who have that smell as well.
Crain is one of them.
And yet there he is at shows when I pass by with an ungodly long line; AND those 20 stupid colored pens in his hand trying to push his âone hand, colored penâ brand as if heâs the new Picasso. I think not.
People donât care though. Theyâll buy a turd and claim âIâm just buying what I likeâ
