I like both versions. I admit, I am the type of guy who loves reimaginings of covers or different art. It is like when a good band comes out with a cover version of a song I already love.

As far as which version I but, it depends on where I find the better deal. I Ebay a lot of my books like this, so I will get when I get.

That's kind of my take on it. Again, I personally would prefer the Kirby
cover and find it silly that IT'S the variant. It's the inside stories I buy it
for. Plus, the original cover is in there.

I'm also pretty sure that the reimagined cover is just on the jacket. The    
actual Kirby cover is underneath on the front cover.

I doubt it, all the others I have just have the title on the actual cover.

While I can understand the sentiment of not being to fussed about the cover because of the content inside, it doesn't exactly suggest the powers that be at Marvel think a whole lot of Jack Kirby.

But then I guess he was just a hack.

I do find it frustrating that the interior artist's cover is usually given 2nd class status and made a "variant". However, when it comes to the Omnibus collections it is at least a 1 to 1 ratio. So it is easy to order the version you want without paying a higher price.

I dig Ron Garney's work, but I agree with Matt W. that his Cap has a real Pacheco look instead of the Ron Garney I'm used to seeing. Not a bad thing mind you, just different.
