Finding it will be tough, but I agree, Robot Chicken fans will 'flock' to this one.

It's a bonus variant, that's about the normal price on these at release. It's going to be $50 plus on ebay

That sketch is probably more like 1:10, about $7-10 bucks.

The Aquaman Robot Chicken cover was unannounced until AFTER the final order cutoff for Aquaman #12

Extra copies can not be ordered after the cut-off. DC kept this variant VERY quiet, literally nobody outside of DC knew about it until this week. NOBODY knew it was happening. Shops basically get 1 for every 10 of the regular issue they ordered. This variant will dry up FAST!! The demand will be much higher than supply, I see these going up VERY fast.

It's always like this. There was no guarantee Midtown would have any, so you getting the one at $20 could still have made you money should these go $50 + after release. Aquaman isn't a title that's heavily ordered anymore and has been dropping each month.. I only have numbers for issues #1-4, but orders went from 72K on issue one to 50K on issue 4, I'm thinking issue #12 will be much lower, so this bonus variant will not be prevalent and Robot Chicken has a huge fan base.. Demand > Supply = hot bookie wookie.

Yes, comics can be as expensive or more than cards, but I enjoy both. I get into comics a little more than Football though. I think it's my inner-nerd.

Your right. I think Ill do fine with what your saying. Im just so new with these comics and I just dont want to waste a lot of money. Especially since these were bought to flip. Should these they go for 50 + on ebay. I sell one I pretty much paid for all 4.

To be honest thou making money on comics seems way easier then cards at this point. Eventhough anything I make has just been going right back into stuff I truely do collect.
