This is the type of thing that’s bad for the hobby/industry when retailers chase ratios as if they’re consumers…

these book are dollar bin drek…
retailers will be sitting on unsold copies for decades
If a retailer can sell a couple of in-demand ratios to cover the cost of their order why wouldn’t they?

The issue is still them swamping the market with copies that will sit unsold, for weeks, months or years. It’s wasteful. These ratios would be more exclusive if they only bought based on pre-orders to qualify instead of “chasing them” as consumers to sell just the exclusive. It’s the publishers selling more than they should to boost their own numbers. That’s the problem I have… it’s all cheap marketing tricks cause they know retailers fall victim cause they’re weak and can’t help themselves to order more than they can actually sell just to get the “special” copy to sell.

Storage space. I’d put them out for $1 on release day or as a free bonus for spending $x dollar amount if I was in it just for the high ratios.

Gotta check Diamond terms though. I think I recall once a retailer told me they could not sell new comics for X amount of time lower than what they pay for them at Diamond, or something silly like that.
The print run is high. Everyone is taking about dollar bins. But I have got to say, this book has some really good covers. I like over half of them enough to want to buy them.
For you big ballers… the ratios available at TFAW:
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover L - 1:25 Joshua Middleton Variant)
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover M - 1:50 Brett Booth Variant)
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover N - 1:100 Jim Lee Variant)
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover O - 1:250 Todd McFarlane Inked Variant)
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover P - 1:666 Todd McFarlane Signed Variant)
Batman Spawn #1 (Cover Q - 1:666 Greg Capullo Signed Variant)

Midtown has the Unplugged limited to 1 per person. I’m honestly surprised by that.
