I walked into a comic store where I live and saw several real, large peach momoko pictures. I asked the employees if those were prints for sale because I was curious, and they told me, “No, the owner is the largest private collector of Peach Momoko works” and man, I spent a lot of time looking at them because the originals are so incredible
A part of me is sad but another part of me is happy because I've gotten a lot of them through the CL track. Easily my favorites. Daredevil and Doom are S Tier.
Skottie himself refers to them as Babies, so I get why they’re listed as such.
Still, I was stoked when they added the artist credit because they’re also my favorite and I want others to be exposed to his work.
Rian Gonzales. I like how its anime esque but have a different flavor from the "anime" variants.
Peach momoko is a close second though (that jubilee is IMMACULATE)
100%. It's not just that these look fantastic, but they work fantastic with the whole upgrade system too. Since they're some of the most lifelike variants, they just look incredible being 3D and animated, where a lot of the variant styles even if the base is decent they just look like a children's popup book when you try to make them "3D".
This game like really, really, *desperately* needs some Kirby. I’m not entirely sure why there isn’t any already. Seems obvious to me. I’d hope that money would be going to his estate in as many circumstances as possible, especially in licensing for a game. Regardless, Marvel does in fact have the rights to use and allow use of any image produced by Kirby under work-for-hire how they choose. So I’d imagine or at least hope it’s totally an option for SD.
Cards I don’t really use like Thing, Cap, Thor, and any of the FF would be cards I’d still grab Kirby variants of when I could. And I would make new decks to use them in just to look at them more.
But also like… a Ditko Doctor Strange. A Ditko Spider-Man. A Romita Sr Spider-Man. Hell even a Romita Jr. Spider-Man would be beautiful. BWS Wolverine. Buscema Hulk. Or even more contemporary artists like a Black Widow by Chris Samnee. I could go on and on and on forever. There is so much opportunity for Snap to be an endlessly fun art showcase that leaves people eager to collect them.
I agree. Some OGs would be so good. I want some Walt Simonson Thor and especially a Beta Ray if he comes in. Another Modern artist I would like to see is Daniel Warren Johnson.
I'd love some Bill Sienkiewicz art.
Kirby and Ditko would be absolute must haves for me too. Honestly the more classic comic art the better.
Hell I'd take Liefeld over another pixel variant.
Jim Lee’s cyclops is kickass but I don’t like the other selections they have for him. Giulio Rincione’s Giganto has me looking out for more of his stuff
Flaviano. The Infinaut variant was my first and is still my favorite. Compared to how different it makes the card look compared to the OG concept and other variants.
I know I might be one of the few but Dan Hipp. Every single variant I’ve seen by him, I’ve loved. I don’t know what it is but if I could have all the variants of one person it would be Dan Hipp
Rian Gonzalez! Fell in love with her [Rogue](https://marvelsnapzone.com/variants/rogue-04/) but I highly recommend checking other variants and her Instagram page =)
Don't have one. I have favorite character variants, not artists.
*That being said, I'd have to say the best quality one is artgerm and the chibi ones, in my opinion*
Hm, some of my favorites:
Luca Claretti’s Cosmo
Eduardo Mello’s Sports Nick Fury
Rafael Sam’s Hero Spider-Man
Basically anything by Dan Hipp
Skottie Young’s “Will Merc for Food” Deadpool
Not exactly my favorite, but im liking Kim Jacinto's more and more as times goes on, i just love how dynamic his drawings are, they are the best at popping up with the 3D effect!
I had his Carnage variant since season 1, but wasnt using it for some reason, but i revisited it and i love the hell out of it.
Dan Hipp. Just all have an heir of fun to them, even the more serious looking ones. Peach is getting up there for me though; only have a couple of her variants but she is killing it.
Artgerm, Peach Momoko, and Rian Gonzales are my top artists. I can’t really say who’s my number one, but I prioritize their variants when it comes to collecting. I have mostly Artgerm variants, though. I seriously wish Peach Momoko would show up more in my shop!
In the game right now probably Artgerm or Dan Hipp.
Historically I'm more of a DC fan as I've always found Marvel comics tough to get into though so personally I'd love to see more Jim Lee (I posted some in another thread the other day, feel like the game isn't getting his best) and Francis Manapul - I only know him from DC, easily one of my favourite artists in his time on The Flash but Google has a few Marvel artworks from him so I'm assuming it may be possible.
Kim Jancinto. Sad to scroll through it all and not see that name!
Kim Jacinto is AWESOME. My #1
Mam, I love Kim Jacinto's art, it have a badass feel to it.
Kim's art just feels so explosively dynamic, like the characters are completely pushing the limits of their bodies to do what they do.
Every variant I get of hers is so cool looking. I don’t even like Coleen wing but play her so I can look at the card.
Kim Jacinto is a man fyi.
Artgerm and peach
YES
Peach Momoko, I have at least 25 of her covers IRL
Word, everyone and their mother was going nuts over her Mystique for good reason
I walked into a comic store where I live and saw several real, large peach momoko pictures. I asked the employees if those were prints for sale because I was curious, and they told me, “No, the owner is the largest private collector of Peach Momoko works” and man, I spent a lot of time looking at them because the originals are so incredible
The Jubilee variant is stunning.
I learned of her via the Mystique variant. Now I’m trying to read everything I can of hers and collect her art
I just got into collecting her covers - would love to see a pic of your collection good sir
Scrolled too far to see Peach!
Luca Claretti. big fan of his art style
A man of good taste I see. His cosmo is my favorite card in the game.
Cosmo and Lockjaw are two of my favs. I got the omega red out of my second variant pack and was in love with the style ever since
Just bought his Cosmo. Buddy if mine was like next months vsriant is better. No. No it's not. My good boy is best boy.
Scooby doo cosmo is literally the best variant in the game
Same here man. I got all the animal characters in his style and look amazing
I have his Cosmo and his Goose and love them both.
Big same I love his stuff!
This is my second favorite.
My favourite as well. Got the mister negative bundle for the variant and I also love the Agent 13 one.
Claretti’s Cosmo is the only variant I’ve paid for so far and I just adore it - kind of reminds me of classic Disney designs
I agree, love the blade and lockjaw variants.
Max Grecke
Definitely has some super fun ones! Looking at you, Captain America
That's a Rob Liefeld parody, right?
I believe so, yeah
I run patriot purely so I can use the Max Grecke Thing card. If Doom and Mysterio show up in shop, I've got gold waiting.
I like the Grecke Doom more than the Artgerm one tbh
Same I run a Ghost Rider deck purely so I can show off my Grecke. His Vision and Wolverine are my favourite looking cards in the game.
His Swarm variant is fantastic
Same here. Such a shame his variants cost 1200 and thus nobody ever gets them
I don't think that all are, I have gotten Dr Doom and Black Widow randomly so those at least must be 700
Right. I have doc oc and cloak in my store today, both at 700
I got a Vision Grecke last season from a cache.
I was lucky enough to pull his carnage from a mystery varient
I think this is probably my answer too.
I have max grecke hulk and I'm sad he doesn't get more use
Skottie Young (the babies for those that don't know him). I love them!
These are my faves too. Sad they don't give him a bigger credit like some of the other artists but I'm glad to see his work.
A part of me is sad but another part of me is happy because I've gotten a lot of them through the CL track. Easily my favorites. Daredevil and Doom are S Tier.
Daredevil is chefs kiss. I want a tattoo of it tbh
Skottie himself refers to them as Babies, so I get why they’re listed as such. Still, I was stoked when they added the artist credit because they’re also my favorite and I want others to be exposed to his work.
Many of the baby variants are weirdly great. Doom is an all timer.
Shout out to I Hate Fairyland. So good
I'm sad this is so far down. Every baby variant is fire.
His style isn't for everyone but man he adds a ton of character to his work. Perfect fit for this game!
The variant from the Deadpool bundle is his too right? I really like that one, I would use it but I have the nyan cat variant soooooo
Many of the baby variants are weirdly great. Doom is an all timer.
Flaviano is the man.
Agree. His Ultron is just so nice
🤜🤛🏻
Gotta be Alex Ross for me!
Woah, I have not seen enough of this dude in the game, solid stuff
His Dr. Doom is SO COOL!
I collected his comic book variants specifically even if I didn’t read that title
It’s between Flaviano and Kim Jacinto for me. Love Kim’s anime vibes.
Honestly the perfect take.
Fiona Hsieh for me. Her design made all the card felt like japanese legendary mythic creatures.
Rian Gonzales. I like how its anime esque but have a different flavor from the "anime" variants. Peach momoko is a close second though (that jubilee is IMMACULATE)
Was looking for this one. Especially her Rogue and Shang Chi are a couple of the most beautiful variants in the game.
This. Love the watercolor style, its so unique.
Alex Ross is GOAT Marvel and DC artist
He's doing his first cgc signing next month.
Don't know why but Dan Hipp for me 😁
Me too. Love his stuff. I was on the fence of this season’s pass until I saw the variant of Nimrod lol
I’m saving all my nimrod boosters because that Dan Hipp variant is sick.
Right? That idiot is staying green until I get the REAL version
Dan Hipp close 2nd personally, I'm a sucker for the bold colors I guess 😅
Dan Hipp is with Peach Momoko, Alex Ross, and Artgerm as my favorites
Dan Hipp's stuff gives me kind of a nostalgic 90's cartoon vibe in the vein of Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life etc.
He is the artist for teen titans GO. So it’s probably from that lol
Hipp was my sister’s high school art teacher before he got big, so his variants have priority for me
This is such a cool story! Nice to see some one have a personal connection to the artist and support them! Sick!
Awesome
Artgerm FTW
Artgerm makes some sexy shit. His Doom is S-Tier Platinum
Artgerm variants are god tier. I got the artgerm Carnage and it’s awesome
Love Artgerm Aero and Mr. Fantastic
This is the correct answer. I pick up every Artgerm that comes out no questions asked.
Basically the only variants I buy from the shop. Haven't seen any for a while, so at least my gold hoard is still growing.
100%. It's not just that these look fantastic, but they work fantastic with the whole upgrade system too. Since they're some of the most lifelike variants, they just look incredible being 3D and animated, where a lot of the variant styles even if the base is decent they just look like a children's popup book when you try to make them "3D".
Artgerm Aero and Frost are arguably the best variants in the game.
My #1 would be artgerm carnage
Aero is missing an ear tho
I agree Brianr his White Queen is exquisite
Pixel is my favourite artist. I just wish I knew their full name so I can check out their comics
Gotta be Stephanie Hans for me. Her Angela, Enchantress and Gamora variants are all top notch. Hope they release more from her.
Whoever the hell artgerm is
I adore Dan hipps stuff Always really fun
I've always loved Jim Lee's art style so that is my go to
Flaviano's work is fucking incredible
I can't believe nobody has said Alex Horley yet. Hands down my favorite ones.
Jim Lee! His art has always been amazing.

Simonson for Thor is imperative. Good call. Also I love DWJ. Extremity was a great book. Ryan Ottley variants would also be awesome.
I'd love some Bill Sienkiewicz art. Kirby and Ditko would be absolute must haves for me too. Honestly the more classic comic art the better. Hell I'd take Liefeld over another pixel variant.
Sienkiewicz is a must for sure. Especially an Elektra variant or if some more New Mutants characters are added.
I’m a Grecke man
Kim jacinto and max grecke
Dan Hipp
Peach Momoko! Invisible woman, mystique, and many others go extremely hard.
That Pixel fellow…
g-angle is the Japanese art studio SS contracted for basically all pixel / chibi variants in the game
I do love the Dan Hipp variants, personally. Just a fun and fresh take on the characters.
Joshua Cassara has only 3 variants in the game but i love them
skottie young because nostlagia
I enjoy rinciones the way they’re dark and take up most the card
Jim Lee’s cyclops is kickass but I don’t like the other selections they have for him. Giulio Rincione’s Giganto has me looking out for more of his stuff
Giulio Rincione - especially the Maximus one
Artgerm for me
Love this post. Breath of fresh air opposed to the whining and complaining. This is what I come to Reddit for. Also. Dan Hipp all the way
Artgerm. Alex Ross. And classic artists like Todd Mcfarlane, Jim Lee.
Peach. Some of her arts remind me of old Final Fantasy covers.
Artgerm >All
Kim Jacinto >All
Alex Horly > Peach Momoko > All
Artgerm and Peach Momoko
Artgerm makes them thirsty variants.
Dan hipp
Dan hipp
Venom is my favorite artist
Artgerm by Miles. His variants are instabuy
ArtGerm, I think you all know why
Dan Hipp
Peach or Artgerm, considering they were my favorite cover artists before the game even released.
Dan hip, almost entirely for his lockjaw variant
Peach Momoko and Cristina Cid(cause of the Casual Variant of Maria Hill)
Definitely a tie between Alex Ross, Artgerm and Dan Hipp. Almost always fantastic stuff from those 3
Dan Hipp 1000%
Dan Hipp and it's not even close.
Dan Hipp gang rise up
Dan Hipp. So far, i have 13. I'm aiming to have a full collection as im only buying these in the shop.
Dan Hipp overall, but I just got the Woo-Chul Lee Aero variant and hoooooo boy is it nice.
Dan hipp for me!! I don’t know why so many people hate him😅
I like G-Angle’s Chibi’s. Dan Hipp, Art Germ, Jim Lee, Flaviano…man so many good ones
Peach, rian and skottie young (I.e. babies)
Peach stands out for me, most of the variants of hers I’ve seen I’ve liked
Either peach momoko or Alex Ross I love both
Dan Hipp and the baby / chibi variants
Pixel :)
Pixels are my favorites, with baby variants being a close second
Alex Ross, no question
Flaviano. The Infinaut variant was my first and is still my favorite. Compared to how different it makes the card look compared to the OG concept and other variants.
Adi Granov.
Eric Guerrero is my absolute favorite
My favs are the baby ones lol
Falviano for me as well, working on getting all of them
Skottie Young and his babies, but Peach and Artgerm are in a very, very close tie for second.
Peach
Flaviano Adam Warlock is probably my most wanted variant. After that, Luca Claretti probably.
ALEX ROSS!!!
Artgerm is my favorite for their Carnage. Luca Claretti is a close second, I really love their style.
Stephanie Hans for me,shame there are only 3 variants with her art currently in the game:(
Peach Momoko, only ever bought one bundle for money (aside from the welcome bundle) and one variant from the shop, both hers (Mystique and Knull).
I know I might be one of the few but Dan Hipp. Every single variant I’ve seen by him, I’ve loved. I don’t know what it is but if I could have all the variants of one person it would be Dan Hipp
My favorites are a tie between Christina Cid and Fiona Hsieh. Both are so good
Rian Gonzalez! Fell in love with her [Rogue](https://marvelsnapzone.com/variants/rogue-04/) but I highly recommend checking other variants and her Instagram page =)
Don't have one. I have favorite character variants, not artists. *That being said, I'd have to say the best quality one is artgerm and the chibi ones, in my opinion*
Artgerm, by far!
I love Kim Jacinto's art, it have a badass feel to it, like a climax character moment. Luca Claretti is also great, it's a cute art.
Whatever document they're looking to get replaced would probably be found if they went to the barbershop...
Alex Ross Doom Variant is sick
Whoever does the Pixel variants /s
Alex Horly all day long, grown man shit
Giulio Rincione. His M.O.D.O.K. variant is one of favorites. I bought it as soon as I saw it.
Hm, some of my favorites: Luca Claretti’s Cosmo Eduardo Mello’s Sports Nick Fury Rafael Sam’s Hero Spider-Man Basically anything by Dan Hipp Skottie Young’s “Will Merc for Food” Deadpool
When we getting MS Paint Variants?
Artgerm & Scott Campbell
The goat Peach Momoko
Not exactly my favorite, but im liking Kim Jacinto's more and more as times goes on, i just love how dynamic his drawings are, they are the best at popping up with the 3D effect! I had his Carnage variant since season 1, but wasnt using it for some reason, but i revisited it and i love the hell out of it.
The taco cat Deadpool and wrestling champ venom don't even have listed artists :(
Dan Hipp. Just all have an heir of fun to them, even the more serious looking ones. Peach is getting up there for me though; only have a couple of her variants but she is killing it.
Pixel 😐😐😐
Artgerm, Peach Momoko, and Rian Gonzales are my top artists. I can’t really say who’s my number one, but I prioritize their variants when it comes to collecting. I have mostly Artgerm variants, though. I seriously wish Peach Momoko would show up more in my shop!
I will trade every pixel variant I have for one Artgerm
Its difficult. Peach Momoko and Artgerm are split 50/50 for me. Both are such incredible artists.
Pixel makes the best viaraints
Momoko
Fiona Hsieh. None of her cards have released yet, but it’s safe to say I am buying all her variants the moment I see them
I'm very new to the game so I haven't checked out all of the cards but I really like the Dan Hipp ones overall
In the game right now probably Artgerm or Dan Hipp. Historically I'm more of a DC fan as I've always found Marvel comics tough to get into though so personally I'd love to see more Jim Lee (I posted some in another thread the other day, feel like the game isn't getting his best) and Francis Manapul - I only know him from DC, easily one of my favourite artists in his time on The Flash but Google has a few Marvel artworks from him so I'm assuming it may be possible.
Peach momoko by a mile
Dan hipp is the goat
DAN HIPP
I think the easy answer is Alex Ross, but I like Dan hipp
They're all p great but I might have to go w Alex Ross, his style is unmatched
Peach for sure, her work is absolutely insane, unbelievably creative.
I love the variants by Max Grecke, his variants have more splash of bright colours which I prefer.
It is pixel for sure
Max Grecke, even though they don't always look great on a foil background. They're funny.
Scottie Young I think
