We all hate store variants but

That just has me scratching my head

Is that at least sold through an NYC comic shop?

I’m not sure if anyone still buys from Unknown Comics, but they do have a bunch of their exclusives at 1/2 off and buy 3 get 2 free as part of their 5-year anniversary sale.

I ordered from them once almost a year ago. After silence for a long while, I finally emailed them. Books magically shipped the next day, so clearly they had misplaced my order. But, the books did all arrive in 9.6/9.8 condition.

Yeah I was jus looking thru it. Gonna grab a few cool covers.

I like this Midtowncomics

Worst Covers of 2021 would be perfect. That’s an awful cover. It’s repulsive.

I’m not a big fan of store exclusive variants but I must say, I do love me some Dan Mora cover art…

As a big Dan Mora fan and a huge fan of Once & Future I was pretty excited when he was on board to do that one with us.

Store variant-adjacent so figured I’d post it in here.

But Tyler created a timelapse of his creating our exclusive for Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog. It’s pretty awesome to see the whole process play out.

I wouldn’t even know where to start.

I’d get to about a stick figure showing what my idea is and then just walk away from the canvas.

Definitely makes you appreciate the art seeing the entire process I think. Sometimes you see a cover and you’re like meh… but then when you see the all the work involved, you’re like… kick ass!

Looks like this is gonna have a similar gimmick to the king spawn 1:250 where cgc has their own coa to give it a yellow label

JSC is a fraud!


What about the 2500 other copies sold elsewhere :joy:

1000, he would have ordered 3k of regulars and 1k of this ap

Wow, seems like some of these artists really don’t mind shitting in their own sandbox.

I missed out on the previous release and was hoping this was sort of like a second chance to get the book at a reasonable price but this is definitely not that. I’m disinterested now because it sounds like he’s going to charge upwards $300 for this. No thanks.

Someone is going to run the whole negative variants into the ground.

How do you mean?

Kind of like the Mayhew approach. Everything is limited…sells out…then another variant gets released with the same cover, but some gimmick attached. Ie shadow variant or whatever Maer did with his HQ variant – he just released the same cover with some gimmick difference. Now JSC. Taking advantage of your customer base like this is shitting in your own sandbox.

Ah yeah. Understood. You continue to squeeze your fans for cash and eventually they’ll get sick of it.
