I’m not even sure how this cover applies to Siege, but it’s the variant cover to issue three. You know, the issue that Marvel offered the crazy deal of fifty DC Blackest Night issues for just one of these bad boys? Yes, the cover by J. Scott Campbell features Deadpool, and as we know right now, he has absolutely nothing to do with Siege at all in any way. As far as I know, while Siege is going on, Deadpool is going to be busy chilling with Hitman Monkey. So why this is happening, I have no idea.
Right now all I’m told by this cover is that bitches love Deadpool, and I already knew that. They really need to sit the big dogs at Marvel down and say “you’re choking the life out of Deadpool.” Or maybe “you’re beating the joke into the ground.” Deadpool is a character that people love because he’s funny and mentally unstable. If you start cramming him into every title out there, including the books he doesn’t appear in, you’re going to tire people out really fast.
I want to say I’m not going to buy this cover to Siege. I’d love to say that. But I can’t really make any promises, because, well… look at this. Deadpool is pimp on this cover. He’s decked out and ready to make some love, which I guess is the real point of Siege. Never mind the supervillains, never mind Asgard. DP just wants to Tiger Woods around. Which is cool, and I can’t say that I blame him. Not to mention that Campbell makes him look pretty sick in this cover.
We’ll see how this plays out, but it’s still a pretty crazy deal on Marvel’s account. I’m not sure how many retailers will make the deal just to get a copy or two of this variant. Let’s just wait and see.
I think in order for the retailer to even think about getting this variant they would have to know they could sell it for something around $100. So I think it’s safe to say you probably won’t be getting it if it’s that much. Unless you REALLY want it.
