We all hate store variants but

Exactly. Imagine if the acetate had a burning flag on it, or worse. Marvel needs to put their foot down.

So, these printed blank covers being sold on Ebay are all blue label if they are submitted right? They were created by Cho. They are produced by a retailer and attached to the issue.

Although he was mysteriously absent from C2E2ā€¦ and will be absent from Boston when they sell the new frankensteined monstrositiesā€¦

Worth a shotā€¦

Back of cover says ā€œIn God We In Trustā€

Crain is very meticulous with his signaturesā€¦ would he really let bad grammar line go to print? :man_shrugging:

Also gotta like how now eBay sellers now not putting up pics of back of book

Today, Bleeding Cool has been able to confirm that Marvel Comics did not approve Black Flagā€™s addition of an acetate cover as a further variant, and it is also not something they would permit.

So Crain pulling out of Boston Fan Expo? :sweat_smile:

Cgc not taking accountability what a shocker. Iā€™m really hoping that cgc gets their ass kicked in for this snafu. This situation (cgc and everything else) is all any comic sites are talking about, hopefully this is a catalyst for some much needed change in things ā€¦but I doubt it.
