We all hate store variants but

I ironically have not heard back from The Haul. Glad I put in the dispute when I contacted them as I would still be waiting.

I know he did a little rant about shipping in the Facebook groupā€¦ and it doesnā€™t like he has any blame/fault since it looks like major shipping damages. Iā€™m just really glad the collectors are being taken care of.

Iā€™ll definitely support them more going forward if theyā€™re willing to go the extra mile for us.

Should be no problem winning your case against Haul. If they dont respond (which is a given), they lose. But I wonder if they can somehow blacklist you for later offerings?

Doesnā€™t matter if they black list me as I have never gotten a NM comic from them in the mail. They can put me on the list. Will only buy from them at conā€™s if I can inspect the books.

Nope. I am done now. This was the straw. Lol. Did sell the Wonder Woman Variant to help recoup my cost so in the end I guess I still make a profit.

Frankieā€™s Comics Star Wars Crimson Reign #3 Larroca Black Krrsantan Virgin

Taking a page out of Unknown Comics playbookā€¦going for the cheapie Virgin variant of an open order cover.

Nice plays Frankieā€™s.

Normally these go nowhereā€¦although Thanos 15 4th print did okā€¦although the trade dress proved to be a better ROI in the end for $3.99.

And you never know with Star Wars books. Do we think these virgins are min 1000 or 3000 print run?

Iā€™m just assuming 3,000 because I havenā€™t seen another CR3 cover from them.

Iā€™m a sucker and I bought it.

I wouldnā€™t think the same rules applies given itā€™s not ā€œnewā€ artā€¦maybe they still have to order 3000 of the trade?

If it is true, thereā€™s likely more Virgin exclusives of Thanos 15 4th print floating around than the trade dressā€¦

I have no idea what the rules are regarding ā€œnewā€ vs ā€œoldā€ art.

That theory makes sense though.

@SpideyHunter516 is being ruthless.

I mean, we all know WHYā€¦

I seem to remember Hive Comics saying that because they used the same art with a very minor tweak for something, they didnā€™t need to order the minimum 3k print run. Canā€™t remember what the book in question was.

thats horrible

Iā€™m a push over for x-men 268 homages.

Although i did sell my Exiles #3 for a nice penny a few months agoā€¦hoping to buy it back.

What I like here is actually Gwen and Silk as alternate characters. But he didnā€™t do a good job with the wolverine costume. Looks nothing like issue 268. Disappointed.

I would say first cover Silk Widow that could be a future Silkverse character if anyone would care after the onslaught if What if Miles and Gwenverse.

Silk-verse!

If it comes to that, marvel has officially jumped the shark with ā€œversesā€ā€¦I feel like they already haveā€¦but obviously people are still buying this crap.
