I'm really digging the Neal Adams A&A variant :!:

I hadn't seen that Bloodshot Ribic variant all mocked up ... that is pretty sweet! :cloud9: That might be the only variant I buy :drool: ... at least until I see the Neal Adams

That's...a lot of covers already :lol:

You might be able to add the Zephyr variant cover for Harbinger #4.

Why am I remembering that cover as being "unused" according to comicartfans.com? :hm:

Wait... here it is:
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiec ... GSub=38747" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

...a different version of the same thing? Or is it the same (ignoring the whiteout)?

I'm confused. :hm:

Slightly different. White swirls instead of black, and a recognizable sword instead of a darker claw or talon.

Really nice! There are so many covers that I sometimes forget which one people are referring to; this makes it easy. :clap:

When I was a kid I used to lay all my comics out on my bed or on my floor and just look at all the covers. So neat to see all those covers at once.

Philip thought it would be but I guess they are using it. He did 2 covers, thought they would use the other one first. The other cover is SICK!!!

I used to do that too! I remember doing it with all the Image launch comics. Then when I discovered Valiant and completing Unity, doing it with those books too!
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Agreed - it looks great with the graphic design in. Wish I was getting one, but I've already confirmed my LCS isn't getting enough copies :cry:

I used to do it too, so much fun!! I specifically recall doing it with DP7 & Strikeforce Morituri all the time, every month as I got new issues...

Nice work!

I don't know what to think of how many variants there are. I guess as long as 1) I continue to have self-control and 2) Valiant sticks around and makes quality comics, I'm happy.

So there really is 2 covers that he did and not just this revised version of one that we've seen so far :hm:

Fantastic!

What would be really nice is if after you clicked on one photo you could then move to the next/previous using the right/left arrows...

Just saying. :thumb:
