Does anyone here actually buy two copies of the G.I. Joe titles to have both covers that IDW tends to do with their comics?

I'm not a fan of variant covers full stop. The worst part is when you get excited in the comic shop thinking that something new is out, but noo.... it's just a stupid mainframe cover you didn't bother to notice last week!

Nope....but I usually buy the cover other than the one previewed in the previous issue, so that I have the artwork for both.

One cover per issue is enough for me.

I used to do that, but not anymore it's just to expensive.
Klinton that bullet exploding in your sig is very cool. |

Yes, I have OCD when it comes to comics
I do NOT buy the "C" cover though, can't swing it and it's just too much $$, starts cutting into my Joe and Cheeto fund at that point.

I used to with the DDP main joe line stuff (I am only missing #21 foil cover... if anyone has one that they would be willing to part with, let me know cuz I would trade/pay almost any price for it) I just can't justify it anymore so I only get one cover and it is always the retailer incentive (if 3 covers are offered)

I don't even buy every issue, let alone every cover.
There have been a few times in my 2.5 decades of collecting comics that I've bought multiple covers and it always comes down to whether I think the cover art is so stellar that I need to own it. |
