New Variant Ratios on TFAW

I use to check Midtown for sold out books weekly but since they started playing the spec game as well along with COVID and their failed attempt at being a distributor (cash flow issues), I think they’re doing several things now:

  1. They’ve cut back on some titles they were buying as some seem to sell out way to quickly (or at least show out of stock)
  2. They pull back hot copies to mark up later on.

They have booths at Cons and such. I am sure they have sold more than 29. Problem is the print run could be massive

Diamond claims 3000 now in the pre-order option. But yeah, this can be said for any title from any publisher. They never release the actual print runs so what’s being told to us could be completely fabricated just to create more interest through shady marketing. I mean, why not right? Nobody could ever truly prove how many are out in the wild. Someone even at the printer level could just keep on printing books for themselves…

So, I feel this thread just keeps going off track so I am locking it and will be dropping the weekly links here. I do not want to do a separate weekly post, but may end up going that route. Anyway, comments are closed for the time being.

Topic reopened. Please keep comments to ratio variants at Tfaw only.

The TFAW David Mack Death Dealer notification went out.

That should go into the We all hate store variants but topic… since it’s not a ratio.

Be careful ! The UPC for the book listed (below) on the TFAW site actually matches with the Bachalo variant on the Penguin site.

I think the Sakai variant is a 1:25,

# Moon Knight Black White Blood #1 (of 4) (Sakai Variant)

Yes, the Sakai is a 1:25.

Anyone know if this cover exist ? Not finding it anywhere else, and the artist it says it is, is a totally different cover.

Since this is not a ratio variant the FOC thread is where to ask your questions (posts) on FOC books that aren’t ratio books… @oni228 just a heads up :+1:

THOR #24 MALEEV VAR

A kind boardie pointed me to the Penguin Random House website to verify titles and covers. Compare the TFAW UPC codes with the ones on the Penguin site:
