I try not to buy too many Modern books, but this one I had to get a few of this afternoon.

I just got one set, but yeah I'm loving this one. Took my chances on a copy of ASM30 from that awful comic retailer too. I'm guessing I get this set well before the ASM30 set.

This artist seems to be pushed a little too much for me by speculation sites and store variants sellers.

I like this art and would buy it for a regular issue easy, but I don't see anything that would make his pieces stand out over other more established artists.

I look forward to the day when good artists can or will go back to drawing a full comic book.

I like the X23 variant by Maer that is coming out.

So apparently this will be a variant for the Catwoman 80 years celebration . Preorders on ebay have sold prices between $55-$60 for raw copies . I am not very familiar with modern books but plan to order a copy from The Comic Mint once it goes up for preorder . Do these usually sell out fast ?

Yes. Then the price doubles for a few weeks. 6 months later, you can get a slabbed 9.8 for $50 shipped.

Rinse.

Repeat.

They do sell out fast for good covers like this. I just cant get over the wrong eye color.

Is that a bad thing? Genuinely asking because I've seen that comment made elsewhere (maybe on reddit?) and wasn't sure why it mattered.

I think it’s good for collectors so they can actually have it in their collection.

What it means to me personally is that it shouldn’t cost much more than cover price because they aren’t paying for a new commission. Of course, it’s up to the artist the fee they want to charge to use it.

Not a fan, AT ALL. 

I don't like this new breed of photo reference repainters. Just seems cheap. Take a photo of some chick off the web, paint on some superhero outfit, call it a day. Same comparison between Boris and Frazetta. 

Jiminez's virgin cover for Batman 90 is 10x more impressive to me.

I do tend to agree with you although it can be fun to look at.  I do find that certain collectors have this overt fascination with having artwork that's of pretty women so it'll sell and be admired for years to come regardless of what I think.  See Batgirl 23 or other worse examples like Zombie Tramp or some other ridiculous female over sexualized cover thats drooled over.

That Jimenez cover is excellent but there are hundreds of better covers to me then Shannon Maer's work.  It's all subjective though when it comes to art and what people personally like.
