Aloha,
One thing to remember about variants(varients),some comic dealers HATE them. Seems like they have to buy a certain amount of the regulars in order to get the variants.Some places will really try and stick it to the buyer as far as cost.I've still found ebay to be the best place. Just hunt for the bargins-they're out there.

JRJr is still great, but his work looks almost too clean and sleek now. I prefer his bulkier, rougher Spidey from a decade ago. His Ben Reilly and post-clone saga stuff.

Variant Cover by Luke Ross

I gotta say, I was disappointed in Luke Ross in ASM 605. I liked him from way back in Spectacular Spider-Man and was looking forward to seeing him do Spidey again after more than ten years. Too bad his style changed, and I mean drastically.

One of the top 5 covers post-BND. Great Warhol homage.

EDIT: Oops. Not Warhol. Lichtenstein!

Aloha,
The great thing about the countdown. We really get to look at these BND issues and give an unbiased opinion on the stories.For the most part they were and continue to be pretty good.Of course, for those who start off from the premise that nothing post OMD is good then

I think the cover for 559 was by Ed McGuinness; definitely not Marcos Martin.
