Just wondering what everyone thinks about having the multiple covers. Do you try and get them all, just cover A, or whichever one you like the best?

Also, do they print the same number of each covers? I know there is a limited run of RI covers but I wasn't sure about the others.

With the last ongoing series and the current 2 series, it really doesn't phase me much. My local comic shop only orders 2 copies in anyway. If I get in there early enough I get my pick and I imagine if the other bloke gets there before me he gets his.

But when it comes to mini series I really try to round out the set with cover work by the same artist. From LSOTW I managed to purchase all of Trevor Hutchinson's covers. They all work really well together. And with Heart of Darkness, I managed to obtain all of Casey Collers covers. Which are really nice (especially compared to the mess that was inside). All hail Megatron is another series where all the covers work well together.

As far as I know A and B covers are printed in equal amounts.

Aaah multiple covers!
The amount of cash I spent during the 90's on multiple covers was just ridiculous now I look back...

Now a little older with a more refined taste to collecting my comic collection concists of my favourite writers/artists/line with only the current ongoing series commanding my multiple cover attention.
RID, MTMTE and now RG1 are all marked for covers A & B whilst any mini series are just all cover A or all cover B (artist dependant).
When they throw in a cheeky 'joining' cover set then I will probably pick them up too!
