You got a link to order them?
Or they don't have a web-site?

I'm thinking about getting the bagley variant.. Already ordered the inhyuk Lee.. Thankfully I'm not an asm completionist so won't get them all

Not sure if anyone has noticed but there a pretty silly amount of variants for venom #1

@Wraith I ordered mine already too. (Before it sold out.)

What is this, Action 1000 all over again?

High print run, too many variants = Terrible investment.

I recommend picking the cover you like best, and ending it at that. I don't even think any of these are great covers. Ross is ok, Frenz and
Bradshaw have a classic look to them and appear to be art related to the story.

@Drogio Yeah I agree. This one is one of the best covers for issue #800.

I might go for the Inhyuk Lee trade dress...if it turns out he's actually going to merge with venom. But just because I think it's the best cover of all of them...and the cover price is already high for the regular covers. Not as an investment. As with action 1000, I'm trying choose just one. If I come across 800 Ross cover in no-doubt 9.8 condition I might pick it up as well.

that's why I bought the inhyuk Lee.. Based on the previewed page in 800, spidey has weird pointy sticky-out eyes that make me suspect its the symbiote, so I jumped on the Lee cover.

There may be a major plot point that makes 800 a key, but for now it seems like another highly distributed book that won't gain much

All that said. Nicola Scott action #1000 was bid up over $200 earlier in the week on ebay and the condition of the book looked very ordinary.

Metal had 5 or more variants and isn't worth more than cover raw. Not sure what RAM1 is. Radio Active Man #1? 😀

Ordering modern variants as an investment is never a good idea.

I buy the variants I want. Not for investing. Especially for Amazing Spider-man. I do not sell my spideys unless I have doubles.
