We all hate store variants but

Have we played out Secret Wars 8 homages yet?!

I don’t know if this has been out or just came out but I just saw it. This forum has led me away from store variants (and I’m glad) but I do like the covers with Walter.

Frontiersman #1 (Michal Ivan TFAW Exclusive Variant)

"This variant for FRONTIERSMAN #1 was created by Michal Ivan exclusively for Things From Another World. It is an edition of 500 and is shipped with bag and board.

PATIENCE! CONVICTION! REVENGE! ATRICK KINDLON & MARCO FERRARI eturn with an all-new ONGOING SERIES! Classic Green Arrow-style adventure blends with the thoughtfulness of Concrete in a super-hero odyssey for mature but uncynical readers! Frontiersman is coaxed out of retirement by an environmentalist group, only to find that being a spokesperson makes him a target for old and new enemies alike! For the super-hero reader looking for me."

I wish TFAW would focus on getting orders out in a timely fashion instead of all these store exclusives.

If anyone is looking for a House of Slaughter exclusive that could pop, I would recommend Chinh Potter’s Banksy inspired cover for Modern Era Comics.
Chinh Potter Banksy Cover - Modern Era
Wish there were virgins left though.

His Department of Truth Banksy homages have popped pretty big. The cover isn’t up yet, but I don’t think it matters with this one. He’s also got a primordial banksy cover that’s fire as well that has been revealed.


The hits just keep on coming. I know the Banksy thing may get tired, but I don’t think we’re there yet.

So it’s Banksy homages? Interesting.

I see a lot more store exclusives lately that don’t specify a print run in their listings.
I’m not sure if this was specified elsewhere? It should be in the listing though.

Yeah, he’s just a dope artist. Also works at the LCS I preorder most of my books from, so I don’t mind giving him a shout out.

This DoT exclusive put him on the map

Yup, getting to be pretty common. I normally care and won’t buy one that doesn’t specify, but I’m just scooping all the Banksy stuff regardless. I’m a big fan of this artist so I can let it slide, but yeah, no print run listed.

Not sure on this series, but limited to 200 if anyone wants it.

They’re already dead. The whole series is awful spec.

I bought one as a hedge against the future. I already got a couple of each cover and a pair of the 1:25s.

For those not familiar, Jude Doyle is a trans feminist activist who has been the center of a lot of online controversies. They write extensively on sexual assault and the online abuse of women. It only takes one New York Times article to put this on a wider audience’s radar and you get non-comics readers clamoring for it.

It’s not going to be popular with the mainstream comics audience or have spec value as far as movies/etc. go. But with the right media outcry… we’ll see.

Interesting info. Also, the unlockable variant looks dope too. It’s the virgin variant of cover C by Harding.

Never heard of her. She has no impact on the value of the book.
