I think they are kind of lame, because really it's just trying to get you to spend more $$ on the same comic with a different cover.
Also, when did this trend start? I don't remember seeing this in the 90s but then again I have never been a huge comic fan.
Bdig85 said it best…you as well. This "variant cover" trend has been around since the early- mid 90s it was worse back then. They had everything from foil covers to perforated covers. The trend sort of died out somewhat by the end of the 90s…at least the absurdity of the covers died out.
Today they're more sophisticated in trying to get us to spend more money…for the same book, by offering a cover that's been drawn by a kick ass artist..or putting the president of the united states on the cover. I don't' see this trend ever dying out as long as people continue to buy into it. We as collectors / fans just have to be smarter than the company.

When your watching a comedy show theres always laughing in the background after the funny parts. Is that prerecorded or something like that?
yes, it's called a laugh track and the producers get to decide if the show should have one. it's like putting music in

While I know video games are doing well and movies are actually starting to hurt, what about comic books? And how bad will the economy hurt an entry-level artist in trying to get a job in comics?
It hurts bad.
Comic book fans tend to have low incomes, and view comic books as a luxury, so even slightest economic trouble causes them to buy less comic books.
You probably should start by setting up a webcomic, if it gets popular, you can use it as portfolio when you approach comic book publishers, and you can also use GoogleAds to make some money off your webpage. And of course you need to find a "day job" to pay your bills.

I am writing a romantic comedy about 2 teenagers, and the girl likes the guy, but the guy doesn't, but he soon finds out that he does. And it is too short, and i need some new ideas to make it longer.
I am writing a romantic comedy about 2 teenagers, and the girl likes the guy, but the guy doesn't, but he soon finds out that he does. And it is too short, and i need some new ideas to make it longer.
It is 84 pages and i'm aiming for 96-100 pages, so what ever you have to say will help.
please forgive me if you take this negatively, I am in no way trying to be negative.
But…
1. the plot that you are trying to develop is the classic boy-likes-girl-but girl-hates boy and vice versa storyline. And you have every right to write about that. To pull it off, you are going to have to be VERY VERY creative! I pray you find that inspiration some where…
GOOD LUCK!!
