All-New X-Men Variants

Hi Everyone,

I really enjoyed putting together yesterday's Spider-Gwen #1 blog post and so I thought today I would list variants to one of my favourite current comic books, All-New X-Men.

I am a huge Jean Grey fan and always have been. This is why I was so excited about her return in All-New X-Men and I really liked the way it was done. I love the original X-Men! They are my favourite team of mutants.

There are now 35 issues and today I am going to post all of the variant covers I have for the series.

Spider-Gwen #1 Variants - All Covers

Hello everyone,

I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been busy but so good! I will write another post with all updates soon.

This post however is dedicated to a new comic book series I cannot wait to read! After Edge of Spider-Verse #2 (the first appearance of Spider-Gwen) was published this character not surprisingly became very popular. When this comic came out I was very quick to buy the Greg Land variant cover from eBay for £14.99. This is because I am a long term Gwen Stacy fan and I also massively appreciate Land's art after his work on one of my favourite mini series, Phoenix Endsong. Today this cover is around the £100 mark.

This month Spider-Gwen is swinging out of the pages of Spider-Verse and into her all new series. Gwen's new adventures will be told to us by the creative team of Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez! I have compiled a list of all of the #1 variants that I can find so far (as I am trying to pre-order as many as I can) which I thought I would share with you today.

1) 1:25 Kirs Anka Variant.

 

2) 1:100 Adam Hughes Variant (one of the most expensive covers and also my favourite!)

 

 

3) Skottie Young Variant (my little sister, Lily, collects all of Young's baby variants!)

 

4) Blank for an artist to sketch on.

5) J Scott Campbell Midtown Comics Exclusive (Colour)

 

6) J Scott Campbell Midtown Comics Exclusive (Black and White)

 

5 and 6 can be found here for order; Midtown Comics Spider-Gwen Covers

 

7) Jorge Molina's Limited Edition Comix Exclusive ( Order Here )

 

 

 

8) Phantom Variant ASM #300 Homage - McKelvie (Colour)

 

 

 

9) Phantom Variants ASM #300 Homage - McKelvie (Black and White)

That is it for now! If I find anymore I will update this post. Please comment if you know one that is missing.

 

My top tip for collecting the comic shop exclusive variants is to go straight to the comic shop itself or their website. It works out a lot cheaper buying them direct! :)

 

Until next time true believers,

Make Mine Marvel!

Comics on Campus

Last Monday I had a great day setting up my comic book shop at my University. I had to take many trips to my car to pick up the comic boxes and stock but when this was all done the end result was well worth it.

I wasn't really sure how last week was going to go. I tried advertising my comic book shop in many different ways such as pinning up posters and sending out emails to people but I wasn't really sure who had seen them. Then I started receiving emails from other students, asking if I had this or that and I began gaining a lot of customers. This has made my experience so far as I have had the chance to speak to so many different people about what they enjoy reading and which comic book characters they like. Everyone has been so friendly.

It has also been cool as I've worked out which characters are popular. So far, DC Comics are winning!

I only have a couple more days left of running my comic book shop, I know I'm going to miss it lots.

My Comic Shop

I have had a great weekend planning and preparing for my pop up comic shop which I am running for the next two weeks at University. I have planned to do this for a while now as I have always wanted the experience of either working or running a comic book shop. This is because it consists of all my favourite things.

On Saturday Dad, Lily and I travelled to Reed Comics out in the country side and met our friend Terri. This was to pick up all the stock needed for these next two weeks. This was great as their offices are amazing!

Then Lily and I spent a lot of time pricing up the different comic books and graphic novels. This was a lot of fun as we love playing with stationary! I have also ordered some personal stock such as Funko POP! Vinyls which I think will sell and I am selling copies of Classified Files of a Superhero too.

Today I got the keys to the Studio where the comic shop is based on campus and I placed all the stock on my stall. The Studio is a very friendly environment and everyone who has a stall there is very supportive of one another. I really hope these next two weeks will be full of fun and sales! :)
