Variant Covers: Wolverine’s Drunk And Beast Is Wearing A Red Wig
We’re shortly enclosing on the witching hour, the feast of October. The ephemeral time where the membrane between the expired and the wind-sucking melts before our eyes, unleashing torrents of evil and scares upon us. That ain’t the half of it either, dude. Motherfuckin’ candy up in the bitch and rotten teeth and syringes in the bags of your children. It’s dangerous out there! Stay inside. Read some funny books.
This is Variant Covers. The rags I’m stoked on this week. Share your pull-list after the spiel ends.

Video: Taiwanese Take On ‘The Avengers’ Trailer Has Black Widow Nudes, Buffy, Butt Shaking.
NMA has done it again. Not to be satisfied with their take on The Dark Knight Rises, they’ve dropped their own take on the Avengers trailer. Naked Black Widow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more are all within.
Hit the jump towards insanity.
Final ‘Fantastic Four #600’ Teaser Has The Future Looking Grim. And Sexy.
Jonathan Hickman is obsessed with the future, the past, and most of the time the malleable construct of time that “separates” them. It’s in all his works. It makes sense that it would continue in Fantastic Four #600, the title having dealt with the concept already. Marvel’s dropped a double-preview for FF #16 and Fantastic Four #600 which features sexy artwork and an amazingly Hickmanian tagline.
I love it.
‘The Avengers’ Features Scenes Shot On An iPhone. Welcome To The (Cost-Effective) Future.
So it is being said that The Avengers has scenes shot on an iPhone. Some scenes, in fact, which were in the debut trailer recently released. Who is making these bananas claims? On the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, who is working on the flick.
Marvel’s ‘The Punisher’ Is Going To Be A TV Show? Mythos Rewrite A-Go-Go.
Frank Castle is a guy who has never crushed it in movie form. Maybe he’ll receive some sort of filmic redemption once his story is told on television. But if he does, it’ll be through a strongly different story.
Video: ‘The Avengers’ Trailer Gets Sweded. Homeless Thor, Pudgy Cap Get!
The trailer for The Avengers tickles my taint in ways previously reserved for niche porn and loved ones. A group of enterprising people have gave it the ole sweded go, and it’s pretty amazing/dorky/worthy of making my long ass day.

Third ‘Fantastic Four #600’ Teaser Reveals Annihilus. Gonna Be The ‘Pic, Yo.
Yeah, I said ‘pic instead of epic. Why? ‘Cause epic is played out, and misplaced apostrophes shortening stuff that doesn’t have to be shortened is the ‘ew black. Yeah man! Yeah. I’m going to shut up.
Hit the jump for the third teaser.
Venom To Get His Own Marvel Event, To Lead ‘New FF’ In It With She-Hulk, X-23, Ghost Rider.
Rick Remender is awesome. He’s going to be writing another gang of off-kilter bad asses in addition to Uncanny X-Force and Secret Avengers. This ragtag batch of douches and devils will team up in an upcoming event taking place within the pages of Venom, and Remender will be sharing writing with Jeff Parker and Rob Williams.
Marvel Releases Second ‘Fantastic Four #600’ Teaser Featuring Black Bolt.
Marvel’s dropped a second teaser for Fantastic Four #600, this time featuring Black Bolt. Hickman, the original Family, an enormous issue. I have a feeling this shit is going to be tremendous.

Variant Covers: Thor and Odin Fight For The Hammer-Penis. The Conclusion!
While I’m writing this — assuredly not while you’re reading this — I’m sitting in a desolate café room on campus cranking out this column. Thinking of tomorrow, of comic books, of narrative-image fusion. Momentary escape. Fuck I love the funny books. I love sitting here, a momentary reprieve in a ten-hour day writing about them.
This is Variant Covers.
I’m Caffeine Powered.
These are the books I’m interested in this week.
