If you've read ComicsAlliance comments for any amount of time, you'll know that if nothing else, we are bitter, jaded (hipster???) dinosaurs. As a result, it may seem rare that we get excited about something like a variant cover or a convention exclusive, unless it's something pretty, pretty awesome.

Increasingly prominent 8-Bit artist Matthew Waite's variant cover pits Robo against the OCP's woefully defective ED-209 and the street thugs of Old Detroit, and again: why didn't the actual RoboCop video game look this good?

Ah well, at least we can dream, right? Baltimore Comic-Con kicks off on September 6 and 7, and you can find Boom! at booth 1303.
