CBR has a first look at artist Carlo Barberi's Hastings-exclusive variant for "Avengers Vs. X-Men" #12, shows Deadpool collecting his ill-gotten gains after taking bets on the victor of the series' clash.

In a follow-up to its specially-commissioned variant cover for "Avengers Vs. X-Men" #1 featuring Deadpool taking bets from some of Marvel's biggest villains on who will win the Marvel Universe-altering altercation, Hastings Entertainment is book-ending the series with a second 'chapter.' The "AvX" #12 variant, illustrated by Carlo Barberi, once again features the Merc with a Mouth front and center, this time counting his winnings as the various bad guys who were seen placing their bets on the fist issue's cover lay strewn behind him.

Check out CBR's exclusive first look at the cover -- and the first issue's variant -- below.
