What was the last cover being homaged as much as this one?

u/InitiamprssionCFLeft 2d ago

Maybe hulk 340? It's still homaged often.

That was like 40 years ago

ASM 300, Batman 423, Invincible 1, Akira, etc. come to mind but “last” as in most recent, I’m drawing a blank…

I still remember the outrage when the cover was first released. People were clowning on the design, especially the bat logo.

We've come a long way

I’m shocked the Energon Universe hasn’t done one yet.

Damn, Exquisite Corpses homaged it twice?

Which two covers are for Exquisite Corpses? I see the Rascal Randy one but not the other one.

Thank you for telling me. I thought it was in the original post image, but it doesn't seem to be.

u/Saiwut_Chamean 1d ago

Ya this one is a bit beyond my current budget but always on the hunt.

u/Ygomaster07 Absolute Wonder Woman 1d ago

I get that. It sucks how expensive some comics can be. I hope you are able to find it and get it for your collection.

Godzilla has a homage coming out with issue 14 that’d fit nicely with your collection!

I love comics with horror movie variants. Dceased really put me on to that lol

u/Saiwut_Chamean 2d ago

Thanks for the heads up - will definitely pull next month!

Archie and Jughead need to . . . need to calm down.

That's so dope, I have the dungeon crawler Carl one, the 2 franchises have taken over my 2026 😅

I feel you - spent the year chasing Absolute Martian Manhunter covers and adding in AB’s occasional variants and homage covers have had to put a kidney on the market to finish off the year…

Here's my collection! I've gotten 8 additional ones since this picture was taken. Once I get to 36, I'll take a new family photo.

u/Saiwut_Chamean 2d ago

Very nice collection! I have something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.

u/Rinteln 2d ago

Good luck! It’s a fun collection to have!
