The Other continues to be a huge hit with retailers and fans as Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2, part 4 of the Spider-Man event, is also the fourth consecutive sellout.
The second printing variant cover of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #2 will follow the same theme as the three that preceded it, featuring a Mike Wieringo Spider-Man in one of his different costumes through the years. This time up it’s the “Bag-Headed Fantastic Four” Spider-Man costume, seen in the sketch provided by Wieringo.
Peter David wrote the first three issues of the Spider-Man: The Other event, which were all quick sellouts, and now Reginald Hudlin is continuing that success as he begins Act Two with an nearly instantaneous sellout.
The other sellout, New X-Men #20, marks a new era for the students of the Xavier Institute, which kicked off in grand style with both the regular and variant cover selling out at Diamond.
“New X-Men #20 redefines the “All-New, All-Different” concept in ways most readers won’t expect,” says editor Mike Marts. “This isn’t a book about learning how to control your mutant powers anymore, it’s a book about learning how to survive.”
Be sure to be on the lookout next week when the second printing variant cover for New X-Men #20 is revealed and be sure to pick up these smoking hot second printing variants when they are released before they’re gone as quickly as they came.
