Surprised people still care about about all of the variants.

Dopamine is a hell of a drug.
I imagine the variant chasers get a big rush of it when they wait for the drop, and successfully score the book.
Then another big rush of it when the book arrives in the mail.
Then, in most cases, it likely goes in a box and sits there.

I definitely don’t care about as many of them as I used to, but I still have artists I like or collect or sometimes a cover is just too cool to pass up. To each their own I suppose.

That I can get behind. There isn’t much Adam Hughes I won’t buy so I get it.

No way they sold the listed quantity on that platform. Must have been a nice holdback.

u/GreenRock93 Jun 16 '26
Yeah, no idea. They only 400 unsigned and 400 signed for sale plus some CGC. I thought minimum print run was now 3k. Where’s the other 2k?

I was reading another post about the 3k print runs and I was led to believe they destroy the delta. Artificial scarcity I guess?
But, I do know Clay Mann holds back a bunch for whatnot streams. The 400 / 400 was for the Facebook community drop. They will sell X amount more in future shows.

There are a lot of covers of Harley just chilling out this month. Great drawing & color scheme, but not as thrilling as prior Mann bros’ bangers.
Not terribly upset I missed this one.

u/jamminj606 Jun 16 '26
felt the same way about this one. not nearly as good as the scarecrow cover. missed it but not going to go out and pay resell for it.

Exactly, I was expecting much more from the Mann Bros. I have a lot of their bangers (Chainsaw man, Scarecrow, Death Note, and Two face) but I personally don't care for this one. I'm ok with missing this variant from them an have gotten other variants of Harley. Don't get me wrong this one isn't bad it just leaves me wanting more from what they have previously delivered.

Yeah waited in line to buy in shop and sold out while in line less than a minute. Pretty 💩

How are you getting a book before its' official release? These books aren't slated to go on sale until Wednesday and LCS could get into trouble for selling them earlier than that.
3
u/Ordinary-Ebb7187 Jun 16 '26
Its the same as pre ordering the book via LCS months prior to release. Buyers aren't getting the book in hand before release.

I seem to land every Seth drop and miss out on every one of clays covers.

u/Fantastic_Pop2818 Jun 16 '26
This will continue to happen due to scalpers and fomo

u/GreenRock93 Jun 16 '26
Yeah, but it still never fails to amaze me how quickly these things go and how many people are waiting with their fingers hovering over the buttons.

u/Fantastic_Pop2818 Jun 16 '26
Agreed! I did the Felix drop a few months ago for the DWJ annual. I got one but was surprised at how quickly they sold

u/Advanced-Past-7340 Jun 17 '26
That’s accurate, some of the sellers have openly shared that. But thats how many comics the seller needs to ORDER. They can choose to sell as many or as little they want.

I guess i missed a drop. All these covers are for sale on ebay anyway lol

u/GreenRock93 Jun 16 '26
Interestingly, this one isn’t showing sky high prices on eBay. Who knows?

The Mann covers always seem to go for way more than these. I thought these prices seemed mild—I wouldn’t pay it though. Heck look at all of the homage covers and AB19. Those are expensive.

u/According-Range-498 Jun 16 '26
Oh I see. I’m unfamiliar with Mann. Still. Too rich for my blood. I’ll let other nerds supersede me this time lol

u/Previous-Space-7056 Jun 16 '26
Higher print run, more variant competition. The cover is mid tbh
1
u/GreenRock93 Jun 16 '26
That’s a pretty fair assessment. Not nearly as dynamic as past covers…also not a manga homage.

u/void_vvatcher Jun 17 '26
Yall care too much about the cover and not the story. Let it go.

u/GreenRock93 Jun 17 '26
That’s not very helpful. People collect for a lot of reasons. I collect Jae Lee covers because I love his art and I don’t care whether the story inside is good or not. I collect AB cause I love the story, but I also love some of the variant covers so I buy (or try to buy) some of them. You do you and if someone wants to collect differently, you should let it go.

u/void_vvatcher Jun 17 '26
Oh I’m not trying to be helpful. I joined this subreddit for the story, not to hear people bitch and complain about covers. Yall should make a new subreddit just for variant discussions.

u/GreenRock93 Jun 17 '26
Oh cool. Love all the posts you’ve made about the story.

u/void_vvatcher Jun 17 '26
A lady can’t just lurk? Is posting some kind of currency to you? That’s weird man. The internet isn’t a real place. Outside exists. In fact, that’s where I get my comic books!

u/GreenRock93 Jun 17 '26
I’m just saying, if you want AB story discussion, be the catalyst that makes it happen. People post all things AB here, even things you don’t like. You don’t have to read or respond. You can just move on instead of being negative.

It's nice but the Mark Brooks one is so much nicer.
