I loved all of the DC and Marvel Comics that were released last year in their Lego versions. I picked all of these up even though I am not a comic book collector any more. I like to complete my collections and it is really impossible with comic books. Way too many exist and all of the good ones are really expensive.
However, when these Lego comic covers came out, it was clear that I would be able to get all of them that I could have a complete set. So I went for it and picked them all up.
I decided to make a post about Lego Comic Covers in general when I recently saw these great cover recreations over on reddit. These are some recreations of Classic Comics Book Covers in Lego that are done really really well.
First up we have the classic Superman Action Comics #1 and Batman from Detective Comics #27. These are iconic to just about everyone. These images are over on imgur here. http://imgur.com/a/T4G5Y
Next up, we have Green Lantern, Green Arrow Number 85 and Superman Number 199. I believe that I had both of these comice growing up and that they may still be in a closet in my parent attic. Hmmmm. I should go dig these us. They will probably look like crap now I bet. The green Lantern Green Arrow Issue 85 comic is currently for sale by DTA Collectibles over on eBay. The superman #199 is currently for sale by aces_comics over on eBay as well.
Next Up, we have Batman the Killing Joke. This is a pretty neat item from the late 1980’s. Also, X-MEN 101, the first appearance of the Phoenix. Not one of my favorites, but I see the history with it.
Batman the Killing Joke is currently for sale by sportandcomicheroes on eBay if you are looking for one. X-MEN 101 is also available from eBay user tomorrowstreasures
Incredible Hulk Number 181 and Wolverine Number 1 look really sharp. Hulk 181 is currently available from eBay user isoldgrit and wolverine #1 is available from eBay user t.koche.
The Amazing Spiderman Number 3 and Spiderman No More. Spiderman #3 is available from eBay user blazincomics. As for the Spiderman No More cover, it appears to be based on one of the covers or lithographs from here.

Next up, we have a collection of Comic Book Cover “Comic Bricks” that have been displayed at a few shows over the past year or two. I believe that this collection was showed at SDCC in 2014 and at Designer Con in 2014 as well. I am guessing that we will see some new ones this year at SDCC. The picture below is from Designer Con and can be found in this group. Comic Bricks on Flickr.
I will try to add more here as I find them. I am sure that other projects along this line exist. I will also try to add the covers that they go with when I can find them and I have more time.

Here are a few prints from Legendary Comic Book Artist Neal Adams. You can pick these up on eBay. I believe that he also sells these at some show. They are not quite Lego, sort of a mix between mini mates and Lego. These are available from ebay user thecollectorguy1
We cannot forget the Mad magazine Cover. I just picked one of these up for my collection here.
Here are my DC Comic Lego Variant Covers
Here are the Lego Marvel Variants from my collection as well.
Lego in Wired Magazine. You can read about this here.
Lego in Popular Science. March 2015 Issue.
You may be able to find some that I missed by looking at this google search here.
Some other links as well.

A few sites have posted the image below of the new Lego Simpsons KWIK-E-MART set that should be released in April. It also has a picture of at least four of the figures that will be coming in that set.
Per the instagram post, this image was taken from jcbricks, but I cannot find it at that link.
I am not sure if these figures are exclusive, but most likely they will be as that is a sure fire way for Lego to sell more of these sets!
I see the following minifigures on the box art. We may see a few more once the set is confirmed.
Apu
Marge
Chief Wiggum
Snake
I also see Homer, if you count the top of his head and I am sure that a few more exist. If you look at the original images, you will see him at the bottom right by the garbage can.

A few of these have surfaced in the past on Ebay and I have always wondered where they come from and how people get them. I know that they must come from Lego as Store Displays, but it is pretty neat to see these in the package from Lego. I was also wondering if they had these created from another company or if they were produced by Lego. It looks like Lego must make them and ship them out to the stores.
I recently posted about the largest collection of these that I have ever seen here
The above link takes you to the largest collection of these figures that I have ever seen for sale at any one time. It looks like he has about 45 of these for sale for a whopping $60,000.
I found the figure below on eBay where it is currently for sale for about $775 here
