There are so many possibilities, but I'm hoping Batman will be the 1st one!

This is gonna be so sick. I'd love to see this particular version of TWD's "Days Gone By."

Damn they putting out so much stuff!

Postby **RyceBallz** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 11:33 am

I love this so much! If I could have one request... just one... it'd be Action Comics #1. So iconic!

Epic is an understatement!!! If this doesn’t happen, I’ll riot. Haha!!

think the first one i saw was the amazing spider-man 316 where venom is hovering over spider-man

Postby **Nerdfulthingz** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 12:57 pm

These are my votes!! Man these are going to be fantastic!!

This is my initial thought as well. It's so iconic. The covers that were done for their own comics would be awesome to see come to life as well. Only about a handful but it would be OH SO FUN!

Postby **avanegas43** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 1:38 pm

I haven’t listened but any and all Dr Strange covers would be so sick!!!

DrS covers would totally be funky and cool...not sure how this would get pulled off, but its one of my favorites!

Imagine if they did do this one!!! Have a Pop! skull with the mouth open and maybe a pocket pop for Dr Strange for sizing? Would be so cool though

Funko Comic books make good sense. We do love the animated shorts they do

Would love to see that Action Comics #1 cover. It would go great with the Hot Wheels version done a couple years back.

Postby **mactds** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 4:07 pm

Man, this sounds great! My comics are all stored away, but they would be great to display with the pops. Excited to see Funko's take on it.

I would love a jim lee line comic cover! But I dont know if his contract with dc will allow it. Hopefully they can find a loop hole

You bring up a good point. Hopefully Marvel has something in their contract with him at the time saying that they can use that artwork. Might be tough though.

Let's not just request his Xmen work, all his covers especially DC are needed

Agreed 100%!!! I need that Hush series too!

Postby **Alanamaslama** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 5:33 pm

Incredible Hulk 181 will be a must for me.

LOL I actually started a separate thread with a similar title as this one, but then they consolidated my post with the Funko Posters thread lol

Would like to see how they would approach Supes holdin the car over his head

Would love to see a Amazing Fantasy 15! Spideys first app!

I don't know about this one ...

Ahh man, I’d love to see this!

Also, bring on Action Comics #1!

Postby **Karubin** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 7:18 pm

It would be interesting and the potentials are endless. From there if it sells well, it can expand to Manga covers.

Postby **KryptonianRed** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 7:20 pm

If these become a big thing (like the music covers), I’m gonna need some new shelves.

Marvel owns all of the art that Jim Lee drew so they can do what they want with it. More likely is they won't use any of his art since he so high up at the competitor.

Postby **PaleRiderOfDoom** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 8:20 pm

As much as I like the idea, I think the ones that would work best would be ones with only one or two characters on them.

Postby **Jwbaseketball** » Fri Feb 28, 2020 8:22 pm

I definitely need to listen now! That sounds great!

That would be too bad. Cause jim lee X-Men is what drew me to comics. Fingers crossed though. Hopefully marvel will let funko make a jim lee X-Men line for the comic covers.

I loved Jim Lee X-Men but it was John Byrne who set the standard for X-Men. Also can’t forgive Lee for changing Wolverine’s costume from brown/yellow to blue/yellow.

This easily has to be the first one released. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't.

I’m a Wolverine fan, so snagging a Claremont one would be dope. Hope they don’t do too many though
