Marvel introduces incentives to 2nd prints 0

[williamblood]

starting with immortal hulk 16 2nd print, they will offer a 1:25 incentive.Diamond#: FEB198211. this is how you kill incentive market imo

 

[Immortal Hulk]

The amount of variant covers some of these issues have is ridiculous. Moving forward I may only purchase 1st print 1st edition covers. Anything pass that just seems like a marketing ploy that I don't want to be a part of. Not to mention it also takes me out of the nostalgia of how it use to be before variants.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Yay.

And that's a disgusting cover.

If the covers are all as awful as that Hulk one, it will be easy enough to drop them

That is THE best way to modify publisher behavior - vote with your wallet.

I didn't realize it was Cronenberg Variant week. Can't wait for spider-fly!

More akin to "the thing" 1982 

guaranteed the inspiration for this cover.

Who's the artist on this? Absolutely terrible IMHO

My friends who weren't around this first time welcome to the 90s.

No one will care. 

Other than the super random exceptions when one becomes desirable (1st appearance, killer cover, etc).

Dear lord heaven forbid a publisher dares to release something somebody else might like or decide to buy.

You just wait until an issue that features a 1st appearance has a first cover appearance and/or first appearance in costume on the variant of the 2nd print. It'll be a thousand dollar CGC 9.8 as soon as the first slabs ship

[Skylath]

Hey, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger from 2015!

[MGH]

Will wait for the 1:100 incentive 4th print variant 

 

With reprint of letters page of 1st edition as the cover image

Variants: hot before release, cools down after

This is proof that Marvel knows exactly how desirable they're ratio variants are. They always have. But this is where they simply said fuggit, we're just gonna show our true colors godamnit

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

It will have a first appearance. That's why the 1st print 1:25 has been selling for as much as $200 and they are doing this now.

Joe Bennett, also does the interiors and they are good. I agree, odd cover, but it relates to the story.

Theres no evidence of a 1st appearance
