Correspondingly, why do comics have variant covers?
Cover variants are standard comics with unique covers drawn by various artists that publishers allow stores to order, depending on how many copies of the standard (version A) they order. If a store orders a certain number of copies of a new Spider-Man comic, they qualify for a copy of a special, ultra-limited variant.
Secondly, are variant comics worth it? With that in mind, variant covers fetch more than regular covers if the variant cover is popular and rare. Otherwise, it's worth around the same, if not less, than the regular cover.
Hereof, how do you tell if a comic is a variant?
The best way to identify a Convention Variant is by finding the logo and year of the specific convention it was sold at on the front or back cover of the comic book. For example, a limited convention variant sold at the San Diego Comic Con 2018 will usually show as SDCC 2018 or SDCC '18.
