Fair enough, just wondering where the line was drawn in your mind as to what 'real' variants are. My line falls somewhere else.

I'll stick to official variants.

This probably sounds snarky, and I don't intend it to be, but what does that mean? This is published and printed by Image and approved by the creators, seems official enough to me.

I could kick myself when it comes to the Seeley art for Afterlife with Archie.

The first cover...

was sold on eBay as "Bowtie "R" Tim Seeley Original Art Page" for a benefit for a comic artist before Afterlife with Archie was really a thing. Ended at $25.01.

The other covers (including one that wasn't used)...

Tim sold those for a VERY (ridiculously!) cheap price at a convention. The buyer listed them on eBay for a huge markup. Then the auction was pulled.

Bedlam next week!

 

 

 

 

Here is to hoping #12 comes out on time afterwards

Don't hold your breath, #12 hasn't even been solicited yet, has it? Not seeing it listed anywhere.

It's REVIVAL DAY!

Some retailers got special promo packs with signed posters, Revival toe tags, and more.

In Stock Trades has 50% off Revival Trades and Hardcovers.

Here is a podcast from Village Comics... http://www.spreaker.com/user/villagecomics/village-comics-revival-day-1-2-14?autoplay=1

Mike Renegar had something to do with the creation. He worked at Palisades, then had his own G.I. Joe store for a bit.

I either have or had (don't remember if I sold them when I started disassembling my Joe collection) both the regular and the foil. Will have to do some digging to see if they are still there.

I do have the DF lithograph of the cover, as well as the full size poster, ran across those by accident a few days ago.

REVIVAL 19 Cover and solicitation for March...

Somehow, Amazon has a double listing for the REVIVAL hardcover. Not sure why, but that could be the issue.

One is under ISBN 1607068176 which I don't think is correct. That shows it being a preorder.

The other is under ISBN 1607068141. That one shows as in stock for $21.65 with 7 left and more on the way.

Tim said the Revival 11 Phantom cover was unused, so it's not out there, just extra art in the Hardcover.

Yeah, it's just shown in the deluxe hardcover, don't think it actually exists... but haven't really done any digging on it, I'll send an email and find out.

Anybody else check out the Deluxe Hardcover and wonder where we could find the Phantom Variant for issue 11, or just me?

Deluxe Hardcover is out this week.

Solicitation and cover for issue 17 in January, possibly spoilery...

To get back on topic a little. Has anyone heard the reason the publisher decided to issue the book every 6 weeks instead of monthly?

Yes, Diamond had mention of it...

In order to allow this phenomenal creative team to provide the same level of quality on subsequent issues that they did on issue #1, Archie has adjusted the release schedule from monthly to every six weeks. The revised schedule is as follows:

 

#2 on-sale moves from 11/13/13 to 11/20/13 (AUG130985 & AUG130986)

#3 on-sale moves from 12/11/13 to 1/1/14 (SEP130883 & SEP130884)

 

Issue #4 is being re-solicited in the November PREVIEWS (#302) with new order codes.

I'd rather keep the same art team and have it come out a little slower.

I ordered the collector cover bundle on the 9th and it arrived yesterday.

Also placed an order on the 15th with another copy of the 23 collector cover (with the choose 10 + a six issue subscription).

I had picked up the first two trades of the series at Wizard World Chicago, now I'm almost caught up and good for another six issues.

This is both good and bad as a reader, but I'll take the schedule change over fill in artists and rush jobs...

The Archie store has the Francavilla Life with Archie #23 cover available in a couple bundles...

http://archiecomics.stores.yahoo.net/archieweddings.html

Yes, the Pop's version was the one they had for sale, the help wanted one was supposedly for people dressed as zombified versions of Archie characters.

The first 50 people to show up at the booth each day of the convention dressed as Archie zombies will receive a special, super-limited, exclusive Afterlife with Archie variant (pictured right).

Dana and her ex, Derrick, investigate Em murderer suspect Aaron, but they aren’t the only ones. Meanwhile, May Tao gets closer to connecting the Cypresses to the burned bones of the Check brothers.

I KNOW there is a decent actor out there for... I just for the life of me can't remember who it is...

 

Steven Lang?

Here's some of the suggestions (with picks from Tim and Mike) from when I ran a contest...

http://hackslashinc.com/1/2012/11/revival-tv-casting-contest-suggestions-and-winner/

I get more visits for that page than anything due to a mention of Zachary Alexander Rice. Weird.

When's this come out this year? Hmmm... I need to read my previews better!

October, will be in the PREVIEWS later this month (and it was either missed or held back when CBR posted the Image solicitations this month).

Omnibus 1 is sort of a mix, even when I was reading the books as they came out I wasn't totally hooked. The Hack/Slash vs Chucky book kind of tied it back together and I started liking it more, then got really hooked with the DDP series (Omnibus 2-3).
