Homage covers (from other publisher to Valiant comics) ?

[Sunlight on Snow]

In June's PREVIEWS catalog I found an upcoming issue of UDON's Street Fighter Unlimited #9 (AUG) that will have a homage cover variant (to Magnus, obviously) and I was and still am wondering if there are more homage covers like it - from other publishers to Valiant comics? Any ideas?

EDIT: It's 1:10 and solicited for Aug-10.

Nice find. Check out this post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=33768" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's not exactly what you're looking for. It's Valiant homage to other comics.

The 1993 SDCC Program is homage to Harbinger #1:

Neat tribute cover. I'll have to keep an eye out in August.

It was a simple and smart idea. It will boost sales for them because I don't normally buy that book but I will buy that cover. I am sure more fans will feel the same way.

Quite the opposite and a bit too late... I would have loved to join the competition.

Ah, I forgot to mention it's solicited for an Aug-10 release and it's 1:10!

Just incase anyone's interested, both Cyber Akuma and Robo-Zangief (featured on the cover here) have both actually appeared in Street Fighter games, as bizarre as they are! The head of 'Q' from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike can also be seen on the floor, although it's unknown whether he's human, a robot, or a mixture anywhere in-between...

The strange Cyber Dan however hasn't featured in any game to date.

Cool stuff

That's Dan Habiki from the Street Fighter Alpha series.

Not sure who the damsel in mistress is supposed to be though?

Yeah, I know it's Dan. 'Cyber Dan' hasn't appeared in any game to date, that's what I was saying My brother's also guessed that the grey character right in the middle might be a Cyber Sagat, but that one's a bit obscure at best I think...

Sorry my answer didn't make sense as you had already identified Dan (as Cyber Dan).

Here's Cyber Dan in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hQiXxxygtg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Keeping in mind how much the artist nailed all the other characters I doubt the guy in the middle is (Cyber) Sagat. Perhaps it's just another mod costume?

[Shadowman99]

Haha! A Cyber Dan mod, brilliant!

I agree, really not sure who that middle character on the floor is supposed to be

Just a reminder for the homage cover (see first post) -

Yes but the star of course is the Deathmate variant of Bloodshot island!

But the Deathmate variant is just another in-house homage.

Bad Planet #3 (published in 2008 by Image). I've never heard of this series. I saw an eBay listing that says this cover is homage to Harbinger #1. It looks close enough but not sure if it's an actual homage or if it's just a coincidence.

Harbinger vs. Spider-Aliens homage even - I kinda like it. Great find!

I've never heard of it before either and I think I'm gonna order it... at least the first three issues. The first two issues also have covers and inks by Lewis LaRosa and the monster/villain on the cover of issue #2 (and #4+6) looks a lot like Commander Trill. Perhaps and influence (for Cary Nord), or just another coincidence? Either way it would be nice to know.

[Sunlight on Snow]

Cool.... though not nearly as good as the original. It's missing some epic background!

I have the first issue of Bad Planet, bought it new off the comic rack! I was under the impression that Larossa drew it with Bradstreet on inks, but I could be wrong.

You're right. I double checked. Most websites list Larosa as penclicer. Unfortunately Google had sent me to Comicvine yesterday and it seems to be the only source/site that lists him as inker.

Its great art regardless! I never saw another issue after #1 - might have to track down the rest. How many are there?

6 issues. There are variants/2nd prints for #1 and #2. Also a TPB and a HC.

[iggy101us]

Actually there is #7 which seems to be a SDCC exclusive (2011) and #8 in 2013. There's also a volume 2 (2012 SDCC).
