Wolverine Origins #3:Hidden Message Cover

[Ivanko]

If you haven't heard, Marvel shipped limited quantities of books to stores unannounced with the words Bendis, Bianchi, W, and 50 in the background. The words signify the new creative team of Wolverine at issue 50. Supposedly a very limited print run. It's the cover with just Wolverine, almost black and white.

 

Check your covers!

[followtheleader]

No offense, but that's pretty lame for a variant/limited.

Scan?

I only have one cover. Can;t remember which one it is.

[UnrulyAppendage]

It's actually Loeb, not Bendis.

it is nice how it is almost like the regular variant of number 3. I stock the shelves and I wouldn't have known the difference unless somebody mentioned something.

1 in 8 or 1 in 10 is what is being reported...

I have yet to see one locally here, but prices are softening and if they are softening this quick, just wait to buy one...

thank god Ramos will be gone.

Actually, this is the first true "variant" to be produced in a very long while. It was really on the retail shelves, with the rest of the books, sold at the same price and was not a "manufactured collectible" that automatically sold at higher-than cover.

 

This is a very cool idea, of going back to the roots and printing true variants that anyone could buy off the shelf.

I agree. Ramos sucks. His art is like manga on acid.

[Tiziano]

Got stacks

[Ivanko]

I like the idea; that was well thought out and creative.

[Tiziano]

Yeah, it was a neat idea. Gotta ask Joe Quesada in Chicgao this weekend what the real ratio is/was.

Now it's going to take me longer to pull my books each week.

Don't want to miss any variants should they decide to do anything like this again.

I like the idea; that was well thought out and creative.

 

Agreed

Why is Wizard saying 1 in 100???

[valiantman]

Why is Wizard saying 1 in 100???

 

Why do they ever say anything? (Hype!)

Because they can.

[Hobgoblin]

Stupid Question: The "W" just signifies "Wolverine?" Seems kinda pointless to have it, since it is on a Wolverine comic, and its obviously not for Origins since the title is very far from #50 and hopefully won't even last that long.

 

What if it's an upside down "M" for "Magneto."

[drice6900]

Gotta agree, the "W" is silly. Actually, the whole thing is silly. Who really cares about a secret message about a new creative team? Lame.

[fastballspecial]

I agree I love this idea. Its similiar to the Black Venom from long ago only this is done on purpose. I love the idea of someone getting a variant and ITS actually a fan who READS the comic. Its like an artist signing the inside cover and not telling anyone. Very cool.
