Is this a regular variant or a convention exclusive?

This would be more appropriate for issue 1027 (or 1026?)

But cool none the less.

It’s (I believe) an exclusive to Alex Ross’ website.

$20 + shipping.

There’s a signed one for I think $80 & slabbed 9.8 copies also will be available there.

I don't usually collect variants, much less signed and holdered variants, but Alex's interpretation of Bob Kane's first BatMan 'Tec cover pushes all the right buttons for some reason. Even the 9.8 signature label looks like a homage to CGC's better days, but I suppose there's no guarantees that the image will reflect the final product.

Oh well, gotta pull the trigger.

Anyone grab a copy? Shortly after I got the email notice the regular cover (unsigned) was sold out. Had to buy the set (homage and virgin) just to get the homage, but all look to be sold out now....

Think he makes as much money on shipping as on the comics.

Comic was released 3pm est. mail for ppl who has asked to be notified came out around 3:25pm. Homage cover was sold out around 3:30-3:40pm

He made revenue of at least $200k in 30 min

I sent an email asking when it was going on sale days ago...got no response.

$15 for parcel post? Better be shipped in a cardboard mailer surrounded by bubble wrap and placed in a large box.

Well, I'm done. The short window notice didn't reach me until well after the pre-orders sold out. His site wouldn't allow payment in advance for the signed 9.8 variant, so I requested notification by both email and phone when the item came available for sale. The email arrived late and I was never phoned. Guess I saved $200, but after this experience I won't waste my time trying to do business with the Alex Ross site again.

There may be another option, but I loathe the idea of using connections to acquire something that should be easily purchased through normal channels.

Turns out my order never made it through. Very odd because I remember seeing the “thank you for your purchase” on my screen, but now I see I never got a confirmation email and my paypal account was not charged. I just got an email asking me to complete my purchase, but of course they’re sold out now....

Weird. Oh well.

I grabbed the homage cover but it took a while due to his server being overloaded. Received an email notification at 2:05 pm central and immediately went to his website. I'll be slabbing this along with the Steve Rude cover I picked up. I'll read my subscription copy.
