Article Summary

Nightwing and DC heroes show off new "Sweater Weather" variant covers with a cheeky winter twist
DC mixes playful sexuality and winter attire, now including male heroes like Nightwing in the lineup
Each variant cover release comes with story details and the so-called extra "perve tax" pricing
Spotlight on Nightwing's latest adventure, plus highlights for Batman, Supergirl, Catwoman, and more

DC Comics does this thing called "sweater weather" comic book variant covers in which they intentionally sexualise their comic book characters, but do it in the winter rather than on a summer beach. Oh, and they include men as well these days, which makes it all okay. And they charge you an extra dollar as well, or what we're calling the "perve tax". And for Nightwing, well, you can tell it's really cold, can't you? They're like tent pegs, the poor dear. And… again, what is it with DC Comics, Supergirl And The Love That Dare Not Neigh Its NameAnd Batman is just a daddy, I guess…
