I never saw that McKone Varient Cover for the Shocker. It looks like it should be a cover for - What If?...Spider-Man's b-list Villains all became Rappers.

While I don't have the Molten Man one from two issues before, I did manage to get that Shocker one...

Varient Cover by Sal Buscema

Man, I never even saw any of these varients. I love me some Sal Buscema...

Paolo Rivera... This is the guy on the new Sandman arc, correct? I like this guys artwork. What else has he done?
Same question about Marcos Martin.

 

[iloveclones]

Marcos Martin did the Paper Doll story, if I remember right. He also did an awesome mini, Dr. Strange: The Oath a while back.

Paolo Rivera... This is the guy on the new Sandman arc, correct? I like this guys artwork. What else has he done?
Same question about Marcos Martin.

Paolo Rivera is only doing the covers for that arc; the guy who did the art for the MJ story in 605 is doing the art for that story.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Marcos Martin did the Paper Doll story, if I remember right. He also did an awesome mini, Dr. Strange: The Oath a while back.

As well as that mini story written by Stan Lee for issue 600 of ASM.

Varient Cover by Sal Buscema

Sadly, I don't think my local comic shop had that variant, sadly. Buscema is one of my favorites. Hell, he's one of the best, IMO.

I used to like Chris Bachelo but I find his art has gotten more chaotic.
And those covers are terrible.

And I have to disagree about the Bachalo covers. I thought they were very good.

[JJJ's Ulcer]

"Unscheduled Stop" is probably my favorite BND story so far. Beautiful artwork by Martin, great story by Waid, a nice self-contained two-parter with a classic villain and even some Parker luck. It reminded me of the kinda stories you would see in the 80's. (And it beats the hell outta that Sly Stallone movie 'Daybreak' )
