Article: Marrina To Appear On Avengers #8 Variant

[Flightpath07]

Well wait a minute isn't the issue after #8 usually #9?

According to DC, the issue after # 12 is # 0.

Also, Marvel has thrown _.1 issues at us, so nothing would surprise me anymore.

[Le Messor]

What sort of maths are you doing, Rob?

[Phil]

The variants aren't on every issue.
The next one is scheduled for #10.

#10's Variant:

That's actually enough of Marrina to be recognisable! Surprising.

It's the punk version, though. Personally, I'd have preferred a more traditional one, like the one who was actually a member of the Avengers.

But it's still nicely painted. Close to Alex Ross's style (but not quite).

Look's like the Variant Covers are being re-released as one big double-gatefold Variant:

Neato. What's a double gatefold? I lost track of the number of covers that would be included but I'm not seeing how more than 4 could be made into a cover. You open up one side to a double width, and the same on the back. Unless they are reduced in size by 50%? Then you can get 8.

EDIT: If Phil can connect covers together, so can I. Ok so there are issues # 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20, that's nine issues. Here's what they look like all connected: (big file).



So I'm still puzzled out on the nine issues folding up as a cover. I recall Marvel selling just a cover without the comic inside a few years back as a variant. Cannot remember which issue. Maybe this is going to be the same kind of thing.

Well done! That's one I could never do, if I had the issues; I wouldn't be able to line them up on the floor.

Really? That's the worst variant I've heard of! So cheap.

Yeah, I don't think it's technically a 'double' gatefold as there're three more variants to be released in Nov & Dec making the Mega gatefold 12 covers long...

Um...so, is that issue 24.NOW , or is it issue 1? Are they renumbering the series, YET A-FRICKIN-GAIN, or not?

[Phil]

24.Now, no re numbering.

[Le Messor]

Is it a crossover I need to be warned about in advance, so I don't accidentally buy the Wolverine Vs. X-Men issue again and feel like I've been tricked into paying them to advertise at me?

Nope, no crossover, just the first issue of the All-New Marvel Now initiative.

[Flightpath07]

24.Now, no re numbering.

Had to ask. The solicit DID say "AVENGERS #24.NOW = AVENGERS #1 IN ALL-NEW MARVEL NOW!"
