DC is making moves. Artgerm was had a Punchline cover coming out for Batman #94. It has been moved to Batman #92.
The cover, seen below, has been bumped up two months to issue #92 . The reason is to help retailers capitalize on her next upcoming “big appearance.” Francesco Mattina, who was supposed to do the card stock cover for the issue is now doing the card stock cover for issue #94, basically flipped.
Batman #92 will be in stores April 1, 2020
April Fool day….something is up with this one.
Yeah…it’s called shooting fish in a barrel. Or striking while the iron is hot.
Smart move for DC. Very smart.
When is the last time a comic hit 200,000 print run? Because this one (given PL is on both covers) is gonna challenge that.
Speculators will be the fools, pre-ordering 10-20 copies…
And just wait to see how many who claim they “love this new Punchline” find out it’s a transsexual character. I’m willing to bet a few people out there won’t take or back that type of character since Tynion has hinted that Punchline is “not a nice guy”.. 😉
There are websites offering 5 and 10 packs. I lowered my order as a result.
Has an Artgerm cover caught heat anytime in the last couple years?
Not in a while. Still I am a fan.
It’s been a while. The early ones that caught retailers off guard were the last. After that, retailers seemed to stock up. Happens with every hot new artist.. look what happened to Middleton after BG23, every cover he did after that you can find in the discount boxes or for under cover on eBay.
Exactly. I’ll buy one copy. This particular cover doesn’t look that great to me also. Now, the Dark Metal: Death Metal 1 Wonder Woman in Previews looks hot though!
Great looking cover! Don’t know anything about the character but artgerm is the man
