  1. I hardly ever see these covers at shops, either. It seems these are pre-ordered by people who specifically collect either certain series (the entire MAD month, for example), or by people who follow certain creators’ covers (there is a guy I know that gets EVERYTHING Adam Hughes). These guys tend to pick these up on Wednesdays and thus these never hit the shelf.

  2. If this is a “list of books with Batman covers that aren’t Batman,” why is BATMAN #33 listed? #headhurts

  3. The biggest mistake is variant covers – I believe this practice can alienate readers (emphasis on readers – you know, paper in hand). I know of many a devoted comic book buyer that stopped reading and collecting cold turkey because of this. I remember when Carol Kalish was alive, bless her, she fought to stop this before it started. You can almost count the days after she passed when they announced these types of variant covers. And then, oh my, you want that cover, well this book, which cost the retailer 45 to 50 percent off the cover price is now selling it for thirty bucks. Phooey! :)
