      1. Damn that is almost as much as it would cost to order 1000 copies or Marvel Champions. May as well go straight to diamond, say your a retailer and buy 1000 copies. That way youll have the variant and a thousand marvel champions

        1. If they were only returnable. That would make it a no brainer. But the cover is ugly. Marvel said at the dinner that 400,000 copies have sold so far. That makes at most 400 copies that could potentially see the light of day, but it is so ugly. Not the style as I like Mike Hawthorne, but just making it a cheesy Deadpool variant. I wonder if this is going to be a dupe/rope-a-dope cover where they switch it out for something else.

      2. Youll also get 10 of the 1:100, 20 1:50, 40 1:25, 100 1:10 I imagine there is a hip hop, Scottie young and a few other regular covers as well. The 1:100s might make purchasing 1000 worth it. Blow the price out of the regulars on eBay sell the variants at a premium keep the 1:1000 may come close to getting your money back. But that’s a lot of work and a lot of books to sell.

  1. do they really expect comic shops to order 1,000 copies to get this variant? or am i misunderstanding how the ratio works.

  2. i heard a rumor at the summit.
    The #1 buyer of Champions so far is scholastic.
    That’s a “thing”
    The book will be given out in schools at book-fairs.
    Huge outreach for the direct market.

    1. Larry, on a side note and about Scholastic, I heard retailers are frustrated with the fact Scholastic is getting prices cheaper than retailers are getting book as well as with a lower cover price. We have a scholastic warehouse near us where some retailers go and buy copies of TPB’s at less than what Diamond sells them for.
