    Marvel have released images of the Amazing X-Men #1 Skottie Young Variant which features Northstar, as well as the Nowlan and Manara Variants which have previously been shown in the Marvel Previews Catalog.

    This makes the second Alphan to be included on a Young Variant, after Puck on Uncanny X-Force #1

      I quite like all three really. Though there's something not quite right about Nightcrawler's face in the Manara one.

      It's a shame Nowlan didn't include Northstar as a throwback to his AF covers, but you can see why he'd focus on those characters.

      Ouch.
      I think I should be getting my Nowlan & Manara Variants for a lot less than that, but the sketch one is going to cost me about the same.

      No Northstar on the Deadpool Variant either:

      The Skottie Young ones are always fun.
      I'll just end up with whichever one they put aside for me, though.

      Okay, so my LCS has just e-mailed me:

      Reg, Blank, Young & Deadpool - $4
      Nowlan - $10
      Manara - $22
      McGuinness Sketch - $120. I think I'll be ordering that one from ebay instead!

      Managed to get the Sketch cover for $23 through ebay Even with the $14 shipping from the US it worked out cheaper than I can get it here.

      So, for that reason I've got no physical copies until Monday so if anyone fancies reviewing #1 then feel free to start an article!

      I wonder if any other stores have exclusives as the Marvel website doesn't show any.
