Hey People,

I have some questions and issues with the way variant covers are currently being displayed on comic pages. As of now there are 12 alternate covers that can be displayed on a comics page, Marvel over the past few years has dramatically increased the number of variant covers it produces (This is often times doubled due to the textless versions of those as well).

The current solution seems to be to put those variants on the comic volume page, personally i would all the covers to be shown in some way on the page they are related to. I have thought of several solutions to this and been seeing what they look like and wondered what peoples preferences to this would be.

Option 1. Create a section on the comics page separate from the current alternate cover section like this one I tried out on A-Force #1 Which allows for a full display of all the related covers with links to others from that artist or theme.

Option 2. Increase the number of covers allowed the template (I had requested this one previously so it's already been increased) but I don't know how many it would allow before becoming unweldy like the issues we have with Alternates and character disambiguation's.

Option 3. Determine a priority order for covers to appear in the limited space we have, personally a different cover should take preference over a textless image in terms of which should then be relegated to appear on the Vol page.

Option 4. Do nothing, keep everything as it is and have the page be deemed a first come, first appear for covers and then rest goes on the comic Vol page.

Any other suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks
