I would guess this was probably well ordered - for a Poison Ivy variant - but who knows. Midtown is limiting to 1 per order. There have been 4 Pumpkin Spicy covers that haven’t done anything so far.

I hear there’s a Harley Quinn Pumpkin Spicy cover coming soon. I can’t find a preview anywhere. Be on the lookout for that one.

It’s not very spicy.

Hate to say it but the only ones that have hit have been ā€œbeefcakeā€ ones. No one seems to care about the cheesecake ones. I love Frank Cho and will be grabbing one though.

The book foc this past week i think.

I pre-ordered 2 of the Mora Catwoman pumpkin spicy because I liked it and in case of the off chance it hits. One to watch.

That’s because the comic book industry is dominated by males who like their cheesecake covers, which are pumped at FOC. The shop owners know it’s easier to move a cheesecake than a beefcake cover…so more likely to go heavier on the former.

The people buying these covers are likely people that don’t play the FOC spec game…may not even know what FOC is or know a cover is coming out…so the supply ordered isn’t meeting the demand that’s truly out there.

Contrarily, the supply is cheesecake almost always exceeds demand. Especially open order books.

I do expect, now that Superman and Nightwing have gotten attention, we’ll see an uptick in beefcake pre-orders.

Haven’t sold my Superman 30 yet. But not for a lack of trying.

So here’s an example of my effort to make a sale.

Person overseas wanted 3 trades I had up.

He asked me if I’d ship all three to him. I said ā€œhold on, I’ll create a separate listing for all three books and an accurate weight/box size.ā€

5 minutes later it was up and purchased. Money on its way to my account.

None of this ā€œsend me an invoice so I can ghost youā€ crap.

I turned off international cause I got asked to many questions about their countries import fees which I couldn’t see.

Yes, DC pays artists more than Marvel too.

Sold my copies for fat profits a long time ago

Same here.

Wonder how that would work. I’m thinking zootopia, but not for kids.

While you’re out looking for Sexy Flanders covers…don’t pass on this A cover…seems to sell as soon as I list it.
