| Dear all, This is my first post, as I'm trying to go through my collection and select some books to submit for grading. Since I hate Newton rings, CBCS is the only option currently. I am currently trying to understand what are the differences between variants. I have noticed that the regular Thor #5 comic and the Thor #5 Zombies variant, for example, have small differences. For example, the Marvel Empyre ads are missing in the Zombies variant. I am wondering how common this is? Thor #5 Second Print, also misses the Marvel Empyre ads, but since it is a Second Print it would be a different comic in my view. However, I would have expected all first prints to have the Marvel Empyre ads. Am I missing something here, or this is a common occurence? The two pictures are included. The one with the ads is the normal cover, whereas the other one is the Zombies variant. So the question is - is the Zombies variant complete? Not really clear to me where to check such information as the Grand Comics Database doesn't include ad information, for example. Best regards, Adrian   |

| As far as the Empyre ads; it Just could be that the Zombies variant was printed/released at a different time. Not all variants are printed at the same time (including 1st prints). So the Empyre ads may not have been needed or they capitalized on a different ad. | ||

| Thanks! I wasn't aware about this fact that even 1st prints could be printed at different times and with some different content with respect to the ads. |

You could always tear out the ads if you want them to match, right???  |

| The Zombies variant was released the same day, so I'm a bit confused like @absavior is. Do they still have the same number of pages? Like are there different ads in the Zombies variant that don't appear in the non-variant? I have a couple of zombies variants of different issues that I'm going to have to check out now. This is interesting. |

| I can’t imagine any ads are specific to a variant, but rather consistent with other books printed at the same time(as the variant). To me any differences in ads of the same basic comic(exclusive of cover) would equate to a later printing. | ||
