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

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. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bowtie-R-Tim-Seeley-Original-Art-Page-Sketch-Gregory-Auction-/310694074741?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item4856cf5975 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.

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. https://www.imagecomics.com/comics/releases/revival-vol.-1-deluxe-collection-hc Solicitation and cover for issue 17 in January, possibly spoilery...

Yes, Diamond had mention of it... I'd rather keep the same art team and have it come out a little slower.
