Post by Knightt »

For me I would have to say, the C2E2 variant is my most favorite so far out of the variants. The cover to me looks SO much better without the middle of book title bar. That coupled with the fact that only 1,000 were made... well I dig it.

What is 'your' favorite variant so far ?

The like the simple yet clean style of the art and the colors are nicely done as well.

That one is a nice cover as well. Different style, but nice.

I like the C2E2 Variant cover the best so far. Raymond Swanland draws some mean covers.

The 2 halves of the Solar and Magnus art seem like they are cut off a little though. Like each side were meant to be full size covers for a future zero issue for each character or something. :hm:

The upcoming Turok issue #2 looks like another good one too.

Oh yeah, definitely definitely

I like the C2E2 best also. Like Knight said, the cover looks better on it that the standard FCBD one

Yeah I am REALLY into and trying to score another C2E2 variant, SO happy to have paid $5.95 when it came out and even with prices now in the yeesh zone, I am still hungry for more.
