That's a Raymond Swanland painted cover on the Magnus side!

He's been doing awesome new Aliens/Predator covers:

Great idea, how much will these cost a store for each copy?

His "Aliens" covers are pretty epic too.

I guess the first "print" solicit appearance of this will be the January Previews catalogs next month.

I think it varies, but I remember reading somewhere that it's around 25 to 35 cents, plus whatever normal shipping charges they pay for their regular comics.

142 days to go, but who's counting?

I wrote a big rant ( surprise) ages ago suggesting a great way in for VEI would be a FCBD edition.

What better way to get people interested in your shiney new product?

Such a shame someone else has used the idea with the characters they were hoping to get back.

Oh well such is life.

superman-prime · Post by **superman-prime** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 3:34 pm

at anywhere around that price you would crank out 100s here for even 50 cents
