The variant was part of a variant cover theme DC was running that month - the DCeased homages. (They all say "DCeased Variant Cover" in one corner.)<br /><br />That variant was drawn by Drew Johnson, and apart from the belt and boots being the right color, there's not much else to say about it. Obviously it didn't do anything for sales.<br /><br />The main cover, meanwhile, didn't even feature Supergirl! It was Leviathan tearing a cape. Who greenlit that?!<br /><br />Given the similar sales number for the Annual, #35 actually sold quite poorly, because Annuals, for some reason, virtually NEVER sell as well as the monthlies.<br /><br />Derrick Chew has drawn the variants for #33, #34, #36, and #37 so far, and his variants for #38 (Jan), #39 (Feb), and #40 (Mar) have all been solicited. I'm convinced his covers really do make a difference.<br /><br />And, given these are all $4.99 card stock covers, DC has got to be pleased, because it doesn't cost them $1.00 more to produce these covers. So their profit is higher than the unit sales would suggest.<br /><br />T.N.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
