I saw the email and thought, "Ug ... another Thor variant cover." But then I saw it. How cool is this? A homage to Silver Surfer #4.

I think I saw this once with Action Comics #1, the perspective shift. I can't remember the artist ... maybe Alex Ross? Not sure. Regardless, it's a cool concept and excellent execution.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
I got a message for that as well and after saying I would stop giving in to variants anymore I think I might have to try to get my hands on the trade version of this tomorrow. I'm sure it'll sell out within minutes.

Is something going on with Thor #9? There sure are a lot of variants for it. Did you get the email from Big Time Collectibles, or somewhere else? I think they know they have a hit on their hands. They are certainly acting like it.

@Tedsaid yea I got the email from bigtimecollectibles. I don't know if anything is going on with the specific issue, the description on MCS says the Return of Donald Blake, but I think a lot of variants are coming out since all of Donny Cates storylines for Silver Surfer Black, Thor, Venom, etc. are all tying into the King in Black series coming up. I think I preordered a copy of a few different variants for #9 a couple months ago.

Well, sure ... that's what makes it a homage. The visual reference to SS #4.

Thanks for sharing Ted. Love the concept. Only found preorders on Ebay already graded in the $179-$199 price range. I can appreciate all of these variants, but am sticking to what I love....silver and bronze age books.

Wow. Yeah, sometimes the "preorders" on eBay go a little nuts. They are trying to take advantage of the highest-demand buyers ... the early money is crazy money, and before a comic is released is when supply is the lowest. So these pre-sales can take full advantage of FOMO.

Seems like there's plenty available, I expected them to be sold out by now but I got a few.

Beautiful cover!

Probably more than I would spend, but still beautiful.
