Marvel Comics Hot Pick Spotlight – New Champions Variant Covers – Set 1

New Champions variant covers (first set – 4 total) – The first set release date 10-4-23.
UPDATE: We compiled a complete list of ALL of the first appearance covers here -> New Champions – All First Appearance Covers
The New Champions variant covers begin to arrive this Wednesday. These covers are pointed out by Marvel themselves as first appearance covers (thanks to us for coining this term as collector pieces years ago. You’re welcome Marvel). So, for the next four weeks, comic collectors will endure the sights of “younger” versions of various heroes and villains within the Marvel Universe. Marvel explains they are riding on the coattails of the recent Spider-Boy popularity with the younger/fresher look. None, most, of the characters on these covers will ever see the light of day again after their one-and-done cover. A great marketing scheme by Marvel to see which aesthetically pleasing eye appeal will hit the hardest with fans. Whether that is one or five or NONE at all remains to be seen, literally. If collectors go ga-ga over a specific cover (character), expect a big payday on the speculative side. We’re going to bring you the new character covers every week and you decide for yourself which has the possible potential of aftermarket bliss. We’ll choose the Peach Momoko X-Men character this week, you? Here are the four new arrivals this week, with SIX new arrivals next week, and eight the following week. Yikes. X-Men #27, Black Panther #5, Fantastic Four #12, Doctor Strange #8.
