    Default Cover Contest January 24 to 30: Clever Variants

    For the first time in a while I struggled to find a good theme. Hopefully this will work. This week is focused on Variant Covers; the more clever, funny, unusual, surprising, and generally interesting the better.

    Here is an example:



    You know the rules, but here they are anyway:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or another volunteer surrogate). Winner picks the new topic.

    Have fun.

    No one said "planned" variant. And yes, I am pushing the envelope as well as making the judges work overtime, but that's what CaptCleghorns do best.

    I saw this cover at a convention. Loved it. Didn't have the $300 bucks for it though.

    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    This one made me chuckle, but I might change it if I find/think of one I like more:
