Rumor is that it was not their idea. They were talked into it by stores. I don't have any proof of that.

Knowing the way Marvel thinks, this wouldn’t surprise me.

All it would take is some soft feedback from retailers: ‘well, I’d order a bit more if there was a ratio variant...’

True, unless you read the book and follow the artist on IG. But besides that, nothing.

The book that the entire thread is about.

Isn't issue 12 speculated as the one below all 1st appearance?

A second printing of a first appearance is no longer a first appearance.   Take that you second print ratio variant chasers!

Correct. There are 2-3 more "revived" characters that may show up in one form or another.

That proves value / demand. Does not have anything to do with being a "1st appearance". This can be said for hundreds of books that have cameo's / firsts.

?? How can it be a first appearance ..  ..  character  First appears in a comic book in the first print .... a reprint (2nd print)  implies,  nay,  tells you it's not the first appearance as it's come after the first. 

 

Did I say first enough ?

I will stick to real, and significant 1st, thank you.  This reeks of desperation.

first appearance of a character in a book/comic has no relationship to a printing/edition. TOS39 is still 1st appearance of Iron Man in comics regardless of which printing it is.

See Marvel Milestone Iron Man, it is a reprinting of the first appearance (says so on the cover). And a second print is another way of saying a reprinting.

both TOS39 and this marvel milestone are the first appearance of the character, just one is a much later reprinting.

see also asm361, it's a second printing of the first full appearance.
