I've been trying to find these too because they are fun oddities. I'm a little picky because I'll only buy them if they are a 9.8 candidate so I can submit them. The Fantastic Four book I found and submitted. The X-Men book I got on ebay, luckily just before the current price explosion. I had the Daredevil at one point but it came back 9.4 or 9.6 so I sold it.

fresh from cgc. 😁

the battle chasers is first in census. I thought the black panther would be as well as I had to initiate the census entry. unfortunately the price tag for batman is no different from the direct edition.

I know it's a Finch but given the weird pose, it may as well by an early Liefield.

Just got this back from the Jock signing . Really happy with the press upgrade (7.0 to 9.2!) 

you can see the whole layout and what issue got pressed as well as previous scans , etc here..

I had to buy 21 comics to get these 5 newsstands, only one of which I didn't have before. I'm developing quite a collection of direct editions. All are discardable as far as my collection is concerned, because I have to buy them in order to get the newsstand I want. The best of the discardables I've bought so that I could get the newsstands that came with them are CGC-worthy (likely 9.8's) copies of Hulk #1 (2008), ASM #601, Several ASM V2 #30's, etc.

A few days ago, a seller accidentally included a couple of directs in my order of newsstands. He sold me these for a huge discount as a consolation prize.

About 3 years ago, I found these in a dollar bin (including the one with the $10 price sticker). At the time, I had just learned that newsstands were interesting but knew very little about them. I hadn't bought comics for around 15 years and had no idea what these were, whether they were popular, or who the artists were. From my point of view, I didn't like the art at all, particularly the covers. I later found out that the artist, Mack, is popular among some collectors. More recently, I discovered that my least favorite cover out of a group I didn't like, belonged to a newly popular comic, Daredevil #9, due to the first appearance of a character named Echo. I still haven't read any of these, so I don't even know what the character looks like.

Those are nice looking copies. However you took that pic

It looks like a "red" carpet type, but green actually. Makes it look artsy, any move on any of the art you were doing?

I'm happy you took an interest in Newsstands. Would seem a higher power blessed you with the nack to find them!

The funny thing is that I do commercial photography assignments every once in a while. It takes a while to set up the equipment, so I don't typically use it to take photos of my comics. The exception is when I put them on eBay. For those, I use the same gear and lighting that would be used for an Absolut vodka ad. The difference is that creative lighting and composition are desirable in an advertisement but not in an eBay listing, where you want the cleanest possible representation of the item you have for sale. I have only sold comics that I don't want to keep, usually purchased in order to get something else. It may seem a waste to take good pictures of those but once the gear is setup, it takes no longer to photograph them than if I used less professional gear. Attached are a couple of shots to give you an idea what my eBay listings looked like before the items sold.

As far as art, I just finished a project with Graham Nolan and a few other people you've heard of. I am about to do another story with Chuck Dixon but don't have the -script yet. I liked the way I did the story for Graham, so I decided to start another project over in the same style. Images attached.
