BRO, That Captain Carrot shirt is awesome!!!

[@AxerOne0001]

I always like homage covers, they’re good to be on their own and also a nice callback to original iconic covers.

[@bat2275]

Some of those LEGO homages are cool

[@RJRComics]

Anything that has to do with Green lantern 49 will always be great!

[@andrewcai5042]

Lobo with all those rings is a beautiful cover.

[@GreedySmiles]

One of the best Comic Book channels on KZbin.

[@nivekwons7545]

Justice League America 27 is an homage to the Exorcist movie poster and is one of my absolute favorites! Mighty Avengers 16 homages Dardevil 168. Harley Quinn Vol 4 #21 as an homage to Killing Joke, and Lady Death Scorched Earth 1 variant homages Wonder Woman 1984 poster (the holo foil variant is stunning!)

[@RexxCollects]

I love homages for 2 reasons, I'm a sucker for art, and it hits a level of nostalgia when you see it!!!

[@MarkDemeo]

Here's one Harley's little black book issue 5. It homages the classic Superman vs Mohammed Ali cover.

[@charliedogg7683]

I think McFarlane can get away with homaging his own earlier covers, many are so well known and iconic, but a lot of other artists homage their own work at their peril. I love that Gothic era at DC in the early 1970s, the mist drifting over the scene and the terrorised woman running in fear from the threat - much of the credit goes back to the original "Dark Shadows" tv series. Swamp Thing #33 homages House Of Secrets #92 because the issue reprints the Wein/Wrightson origin story from HOS #92 as part of Alan Moore's story to explain the discrepancies between the Swamp Things, such as the different time settings. My favourite homage which you present is definitely Promethea #27. A really fun video James.

[@ScarecrOmega]

Lady Death homages most of these covers. The new Ghost Rider homages Marvel Spotlight 5, I will pick that up for sure.

[@duke_8747]

The recent scorched variants doing homage to I think it was the first 3 issues of the 90s X-men run was cool

[@jheggemeyer]

Spawn had a nice little run of homage covers in the 220's ending at that 230. Those, along with that Wolverine 55 are on my short list to pick up soon

[@DanielGoldMcduckRose]

I like the Deadpool one to nevermind where he chaseing a taco

[@thegamingtreestump1872]

Those new Dan Mora Tim Drake:Robin variants are so cool

[@joshneff2367]

Oh one of my favorites that I own slabbed is Rogue Sun #1 Miguel Mercado Variant which is a homage to The Rocketeer movie poster

[@ss21titus]

The Batman 118 I mentioned made it!!! Totally made my day seeing it on the list!!! Awesome video!!

[@fomoscomicsandpopculture]

Homage covers are great. Thanks for the video 👍🏽

[@ragmancomics2418]

Best Variant is Crossed 100 #9 (2015). Love the GA horror homage

[@robertgray1365]

The Spawn event Scorched also did a variant connecting cover homage to X Men #1.

[@1800KLIENFELD]

J - can you do a video breaking down the chronology of Spider-Man volumes? Where do volumes begin/end especially with 1990 spidey and spec spidey. Batman too. Tec vs regular Batman and why was it done that way. Pretty sure this is applicable to a few comics.

[@joelatorre]

Wow those DCeased connecting covers are awesome, I didn’t know they were out there either. I think Neal Adams did an homage to Batman 227 and Detective 31 with the latest Joker comic run, that might the one your thinking of. Fun video!

[@wolverado1322]

My favorite homages to Hulk 340: Marvel Zombies 3, Batman 125 and Spawn 226.

[@masterswordsmen]

Savage avengers 1 suayan variant is another really good one

[@bestcore1214]

That whole wave of dynamite tmnt homage covers all started with red room, which was the best, and in total there are like 10. I have them all!

[@JediFarce]

My favorite is Betty and Veronica #V3 #1 homage of Hulk 181.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

I saw a Betty & Veronica homage to Silver Surfer #4 not too long ago, jeez, I really want that one!

[@Jt-ze2st]

I'm partial to ASM 252 homaging AF 15. Black suit Spidey hits different. Also, you should do a villain series. Top villain covers, top 1sts, best possible investment villain covers etc... I want some Doctor Doom love! (And why is X-Factor 6 so undervalued always? Apocalypse is severely underrated)

[@spinetickspressing]

I agree ASM 252 is a great cover!

[@johngaravaglia6126]

If you like Simpsons comics, it’s worth noting Radioactive Man #216 parodies the famous Green Arrow/Green Lantern #85 cover. Instead of RM finding out his sidekick Fallout Boy is a junkie, he’s a dirty hippie!

[@leeniren3706]

Fantastic cover swap. Thank you for using the one I submit it.

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks again!

[@GeePrep]

Fun video! A more recent one I really like is a variant from Vanish #1 (by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman) that references Spawn #1

[@MintHunterComics]

That's a cool one for sure! Just looked it up

[@Sinsightful]

I enjoyed this immensely because I myself have over 80 different homage/swipe different covers of Action Comics 1.

[@MintHunterComics]

Oh wow!

[@sethchapman8001]

I always liked "Clint: The Hamster Triumphant" homage to the Dark Knight.

[@gregwait3553]

Very cool video! Homage Covers seem to sneak out and now are being hunted down by collectors! So many comics so little time!

[@bat2275]

The best is when McFarlane homages himself .... LOL

[@pcantu3]

Great list and great video

[@motomotorola760]

Like always very insightful video brother.

[@MudflapNichols]

Incredible Hulk 441, She-Hulk in the Pulp Fiction homage is my favorite.

[@Alvarakk]

I like this idea and really looking for the next one. (The shaking effect is weirdly discomforting, btw)

[@davezombie9056]

Nocterra Special: Blacktop Bill had 2 fun spidey 316 and 347 homages

[@817mborja]

J Scott Campbell has some awesome homage variants. Love his Ms Marvel homage, Asm Annual 21 with Black Cat annual 1, Spider-Man 1 homage with Black Cat 1 is gorgeous. Then there's his self homage to asm 601 that's almost a companion cover with his Black Cat 1 Loft variant.

[@thelonewanderer1114]

Batman 126 homaging that classic 1st appearance venom cover def should’ve been here

[@mikeclancy7949]

Cool video, as a Daredevil guy I will add Captain America 341 homages Daredevil 43.

[@GlassShardFilms]

Thanks!

[@Lunadyne]

Surprised not to see the famous Steranko cover of Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD #6, which has had homages from: Incredible Hulk #281 Superman #28 Ka-Zar the Savage #34 Doc Savage #5 The Illegitimates #5 Deadpool #33 Army of Darkness TPB Ash in Space And probably more I just haven’t tracked down yet.

[@jarredsmith9187]

Great video James.

[@MintHunterComics]

Thanks Jarred!

[@hankscorpion9939]

I absolutely love Artgerm's Catwoman 12 homage to Batman 42. It does change the layout a bit, with a lot more Catwoman and Batman and Robin's hands only. I think some of his recent covers from that run are going to be up there with Adam Hughes's cover run from years ago

[@jonbutt8664]

Have you done a video on why Iron Man 128 is one of your favorite books? If not you should consider it. It's a pretty heavy book and cover for a lot of us and a powerful cover. Think about it. Great video as usual Mint-Hunter!!!!!!!

[@MintHunterComics]

Yes I have!!

[@Nf7mate]

Looks like the one I submitted didn’t make the cut. Fun video.

[@jordansuchy3107]

What are your thoughts on Whatnot and Ninja Funk? Think it will last and keep the hype? Love the channel and comics are your calling brother.

[@TheTrueDecepticreep]

Tmnt vs Power Rangers II issue 1 has a tmnt issue 1 homage. The rangers are posed like the turtles. My favorite homage cover in awhile.

[@darkranger_7769]

This was a cool little exercise cuz it encouraged me to go back through the pc and see which homages I had. I found about 12, with one on the way on order. Fun vid!

[@tpayne2596]

I was just thinking about asking you about this subject, I didn't know what it was, being a newbie in comics.

[@MintHunterComics]

I'm glad I made the video then!

[@comics_from_the_vault]

Red room 3 got a awesome homage to TMNT 1 as well! Great horror comic by Ed piskor

[@Quasi_Terrible]

What is the difference between a cover swipe and a homage cover? I always thought those terms were interchangeable. And what is considered the first homage cover?

[@DCPatrol]

Homage covers can be fun but I'm tired of most of them (spiderman ones). I prefer the more subtle ones, or none comic related ones. Like Justice League dark Doing Beetlejuice or Aquaman doing Free Willy

[@biggdogg1975]

Any cover that copies Days of Future Past

[@danielps6328]

I always thought Uncanny X-men #104 (new team vs. Magneto) was a good homage to X-men #1 (original team vs. Magneto)

[@jakeproven256]

I actually like the cover of comic book guy #1 better than the cover of fantastic four #1.

[@MintHunterComics]

Same - I'm obsessed with it. I need it in my collection haha

[@Chaos-Tord-is-bord-chaos]

👍

[@Criner05]

-Detective Comics #1000 1940s variant by Bruce Timm, homage to Detective Comics #69 -Detective Comics #1000 Alex Ross variant, homage to Detective Comics #27 -The Walking Dead #150 Tony Moore variant, homage to his own Walking Dead #1

[@hieinh]

I like sonic 134 homage to asm 50 and the bird city exclusive eight billion genies homage to super mario 3

[@SondicoDenann]

Red Room has a bunch of awesome cover homages!

[@aaronanglea]

almost EVERY issue of Local Man is an homage cover

[@JeffreyTranberry]

I think the TMNT is an Homage to Incredible Hulk 135, not King Size Annual 1.

[@MintHunterComics]

I think it's maybe both

[@ChuloAA]

My favorite homage is Amazing Spider-Girl 0 that has Mayday holding Peter in the same AF15 pose it's great and a lot of the spider girl comics are very good

[@robphoenix1182]

I think it's a house of mystery issue that homages Batman 227.

[@MintHunterComics]

You might be right - I just can't find it though

[@jheggemeyer]

House of secrets 88 is very similar though not an homage. Came out the same time as batman 227, and is also a Neal Adams cover

[@kazerzozay]

Where do yo I track the price of raw comics from? Thank you

[@ascorvinus]

Anyone else notice that Hulk 181 is an homage to Marvel Superheroes 13? If not, it’s a suspicious coincidence!

[@richardwilliams6239]

What do you do if there's no usp code?

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Homage or rip off? That GREEN LANTERN ring collector cover was "borrowed" by JOE QUESADA for his "SCARLET WITCH goes nutty" varient for "Avengers Disassembled"! And of course, FF #1 swiped its composition from the 1st appearance of the JLA in BRAVE AND THE BOLD!

[@MintHunterComics]

How could green lantern 49 from 1994 be ripping off a marvel arc from 2004?

[@jonbutt8664]

If you have done a video on Iron Man 128 please tell me how to find it in your search. thanks

[@MintHunterComics]

I’ve mentioned it in a few videos, I know the most recent is the “top moments that changed comic history” video!

[@MintHunterComics]

He’s actually on the thumbnail for that vid

[@jonbutt8664]

@@MintHunterComics LoL! thanks

[@Isaacthecomicnerd]

Shhhhhhhh don't mention wolverine 55 let me buy another 20 NM copy's before it goes up in value

[@roccojoco]

hom·age /ˈ(h)ämij/

[@cmilla111]

Homage has lost all meaning to me.

[@m_keg]

tried Whakoom, tbh it doesn’t have like any old books; tried scanning the UPC on my 2nd app. of Moon Knight and there was nothing - even Avengers 15, no luck. shame because the idea is super cool!

[@MintHunterComics]

Some of em you'll just have to look up manually instead of scanning
