I was about to pre-order Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime and I found out some interesting things.

First of all: there are MORE variant covers yet to be revealed!!!

There's a variant by JOE QUEASADA!!! One by FRANK MILLER!!! 😱 And one by SCOTTIE YOUNG!!! <3

And apparently Dell'Otto's (sigh), Campbell's, Simonson's and Quesada's are ratio variants. Respectively 1:10, 1:50, 1:100 and 1:25.

Also, McNiven's variant is a bit more expensive (11,25$), probably because is FOIL 😃

#I BEG YOUR PARDON #marvel's going crazy!#this is amazing #uncle scrooge and the infinity dime #scrooge mcduck #marvel comics #disney ducks #variant cover #joe quesada #skottie young #frank miller #i'm really curious to see scrooge drawn by scottie young!#it's gonna be funny!!!

like, ok. so does everyone know about comic cover variants? you know how every issue has like eighteen million covers? and they're typically referred to with ratios. "1:10" or "1:50" or whatever.

what those ratios refer to is that for every ten issues of a comic a store orders from the publisher, they'll get one issue of the variant. this is essentially a way to get retailers to order more of a comic than they think they can sell organically so that they can offer the invested collectors/fans the rare variant cover at a higher price, which offsets the potential loss of money ordering more copies than they can realistically expect to sell causes. comic book stores make most of their sales from regular customers who have a pull list- you tell them what comics you, the customer, want them to order in for you monthly and they use these preorders (typically made at least one month in advance, with the standard being three months) to decide how many of an issue to order. they'll buy a few extra for walk-ins, of course, but comic book shops are for enthusiasts. most of their clientele are regulars with a pull list, unless you're a very succesful comic book shop indeed. (i used to do mine online because i was too far away to drop in regularly. shipping was a motherfucker. nowadays i live near one of the most famous shops in the country so if i want comics i can go in person, haha.)

this is not ideal for a publisher because it reveals how fucking low their circulation numbers actually are. but if you have a regular who loves a series, they might pay you $10 or $20 or even more for a highly desirable variant cover. they're an enthusiast. they're already in a hobby that is a money pit. so you buy the extra fifty issues and the cost is hopefully offset and maybe over the next year or two you sell (most of) the remaining back issues in the longbox section in the back where people wander through to look for old stuff they didn't buy at the time, or stuff which in the five years it's been sat there unsold has become interesting to new collectors. multiply this effect across a thousand stores and incentive covers with ratios as high as 1:500, and you can shift a lot of product to stores who are basically gambling every month on risk and reward, all these decisions having to be made months and months in advance in many cases.

anyway the comics industry is fucking ridiculous. imagine if books were sold like this. you can't, that would be batshit

Via DC: With the debut of “Gotham Nocturne” in Detective Comics, writer Ram V and artist Rafael Alburquerque have depicted Gotham City and The Dark Knight at its most gothic, with a new family of villains with their sights set on Batman.

This March, Ram’s graphic gothic opera continues with artist Riccardo Federici in Detective Comics #1070. In “Fallen,” the first chapter in this second act, Batman goes head-to-head with an Azmer demon, unaware that this demon is someone with a connection to Bruce Wayne. This issue also introduces The Vigil – a mysterious new team of characters called upon to investigate the Azmer sightings. But who are The Vigil, and are they on Batman’s side?

This can’t-miss issue also features a back-up story spotlighting Mr. Freeze, written by Si Spurrier with art by Casper Wijngaard. With Nora Fries only a pale image of the woman Victor Fries fell in love with, what can he do now to save her?

Detective Comics #1070 arrives in comic book shops and on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. This 40-page comic features a main cover by Evan Cagle, with open to buy variant covers by Ivan Reis and gothic horror icon Kelley Jones.
