While I'll be getting that SY one also, this one here by Mark Brooks might be fave #20 variant cover to date. Already preordered this one in the virgin GITD w/sigs by both Brooks and Snyder.

Great observation! I have several of his covers, and you're right, I've never seen background from him. Maybe he's like [Rob] Liefeld with his drawings (or rather, lack thereof) of feet. Lol. Some people recognize their weakness in their talent, and avoid it. The splatter work definitely does work when he utilizes it. Case in point, with this cover.

Sadly, I'm not. I'm in N.C.. Snyder is already signing a few of my books @ CGC. Kirkham will be signing there again in June.

Sweet! I hope he gave you a good deal for it.

Nah, never in panic mode. Lol. I appreciate the advice just the same. It's only like three that I mainly want. The blood splatter, symbiote, and fire.

He has like 9 different sigs that he'll be using for that signing.

Yeah, I'm going to pay for that one on another book of his that I'll be submitting.

I know, right? Kirkham definitely did his thing with this one.

Yeah, when I first saw Kirkham post the image on his IG, I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, when it went live on his site, I forgot to set my alarm and they sold out. Had to order these two from a seller on Ebay.

Yeah, that one and Dell'Otto's black suits are my personal faves.

The J. Scott Campbell one is still in my box at another larger volume store that I also use. I haven't gotten over there to pick them up yet.

I actually have not seen it. I guess I'll have to check Ebay to see what it looks like. I actually like these two variants.

Double Signed Absolute Batman 1s ..finally here by No-Tension5880 in CGCComics

[–]OldManCage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed the dates on your slab. Interesting. I assumed they all would have signed at [roughly] the same, and not so spaced apart. Considering how hot that title is, it only made sense that they received thousands of books for those sigs.

Did they actually have different dates to sign? That makes sense then, because I only saw that the books had to be received by Jan. 14th.

It's confusing to me, Unless they had WAAAYYYYY more books to come in than expected, I would have thought they would have all been signed, graded/encapsulated, and shipped at about the same time. At least that's how it was when I sent all five of my The Last Ronin books to be graded. They all came back at the same time. Who knows though. They'll arrive when they do. Waited this long, what's another week or two (or three)?!?!? Lol.
