First cover Appearance of Villains of a B character spec? Is that what we’re talking about here?
GAMBIT 1 NAUCK 2ND PRINTING VARIANT
Marvel is going overboard on 2nd prints for next week’s FOC…
MOON KNIGHT 14 TBD ARTIST 2ND PRINTING VARIANT
A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY 1 BROOKS 2ND PRINTING VARIANT [AXE]
SHANG-CHI AND THE TEN RINGS 1 TO 2ND PRINTING VARIANT
DEMON WARS: THE IRON SAMURAI 1 MOMOKO 2ND PRINTING VARIANT
yes even more unnecessary 2nd printing
It’s only unnecessary if people stop buying them
but then they would be worth something again
True, but I still like anything, “Moon Knight,” and will buy the new printing.
I’d rather see over board on 2nds than shops “destroying” copies to create perceived scarcity of their exclusives.
Unless the second printings have a new character on the cover making it their first cover appearance, I’m not buying them anymore just because it’s a second (or third) printing variant. There has been no spec value in about a year and a half on almost all second printings from Marvel or DC. They just take up space in long boxes.
You and me both.
I buy 2nd printings if I like the cover and its at least a minor key issue. Otherwise ya it will just clog up my boxes.
For Spider-man I’m a completionist I’ll grab any additional print at least 1.
