Out of all the newsstand covers, Strangers 5 seems to be the only one that has a different “blurb” on the cover (actually, no blurb … they removed it) from the regular version. The art is the same (unlike Mantra 5 or Solution 5, for example), so the only difference is minor. Barely worth calling it a variant, but I think I am going to add it to the checklist since there is a difference.
I just bought the one on the right off eBay for a buck. Dude mailed it to me in an envelope with no boards or anything. Thanks!
Here's the trick. If you're collecting these comics you are one of the few, so don't go crazy. Just be patient, look for large lots on the cheap and keep your eyes on auction sites. But if you see a gold hologram cover, grab it!
