I hate variant covers too, IDW and Tmnt got me out of comic collecting with how many covers they do per issue.

You can’t ask your shop for just COVER A’s?

Variants went from being cool to being annoying.
It's akin to every sitcom in the 80s shoehorning someone rapping - it's not necessary!!!

I very much agree. I like covers that are linked with the stories

I’m pretty much with you. It’s just too much. My LCS asks what covers you want. I’m generally the A cover. I may pick a variant off the shelf occasionally, and I never go for the 1:XX covers. See no real reason for 26+ covers of a comic.

When I was at the shop, we'd just assume cover A unless the box holder said otherwise. 🤷♂

But if there is a John Romita Jr cover or a new Frank Miller? Ill take whatever cover they didnt do. So those are the only times I like a variant cover.

I don’t have anything against variant covers themselves but I 100% agree about hating when covers have nothing to do with the actual issue (there are some variants that do manage to relate to the book’s contents, and there are some regular covers that don’t)

My lcs always lets you choose which covers you want. I love some variants but not all. I definitely wouldn’t like not being able to choose.
