Amazing Spider-Man Continues to Swing High and Sell Out!
Amazing Spider-Man has been selling out lately. My question is, is it because of the Anti-Venom and the current "New Ways to Die" story arc or is it because of the variant covers? Are people still buying both covers of an issue? Very very rarely will I do that. Only if both covers are really cool or by my favorite artist. I love the 50/50 covers. If you're going to release two covers, I love having an equal choice. I don't want to pay more for what I think is a cooler cover. Hopefully we won't have another gimmick-cover craze like we had in the 90s.
I am enjoying "New Ways to Die" by the way. It should be interesting to see if Anti-Venom will be an enemy or ally to Spider-Man.
