Looks interesting. I'm not sure I like the part that it's a retailer incentive. I'm sure it will help with orders though.
Instead of being just a variant cover it's original, not to be collected in trade, content.
Thoughts?

This is going to be as hard to get as any incentive variant is.

Add to the fire that *everyone* is going to want it, and I expect chaos.

Though this part:

"This is a little known story, the history of which is only known to a select few of the most important players in the Valiant Universe, and it’s telling will mirror its method of distribution."

I find very interesting.

If this is accurate, I think there are going to be a lot of unhappy fans. This is basically the exact thing that the original Valiant took a stand against.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Really hope I can get this. If so, I will say it's a great idea. If I can't get it without dropping major bucks, then I'll throw a hissy fit and drop all Q&W titles out of spite.

Why don't you just drop them because you don't like them? Spite is dumb.

It sounds like you'll have to purchase a physical copy. Like the "Plus" editions of Rai & Dr Mirage.

1. fantastic news that FVL will be fleshing out the history of the Geomancers! I was waiting for the announcement of what part of Book of Death he was working on.

2. The art looks fantastic.

3. I want this, want this, want this.

I am a digital reader and HC collector only, so I am a little peeved that this may not reach me until later in digital form, and possibly never in a Book of Death HC (but it would be silly not to). So I would be down to order whatever from Ed in order to get it. Keep us posted!

Tough to find and potentially expensive. We'll have to wait and see what the incentive ration will be...1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50?!? Could get pretty crazy.

And a terrible idea.

After doing some digging I'm pretty sure this equals out to a 1:25 ratio

That is crazy if true. Probably would mean retail price of $20+ each.
