Great promo, and fun to see the sketches. Thumbs down on the person who grumbled about their sketch. Wow, cheer up!
Thanks for compiling these! It was a fun read– definitely an amazing marketing strategy too. The guy in front of me at the shop bought at least seven copies…none had a sketch.
Until you open the polybag, it is a Schrödinger’s Variant: It both contains and does not contain a sketch. Opening the bag collapses the wave function of the comic.
I refer to these sorts of things as “quantum collectibles”.
