I just bought whatever they put in my pull box. I'm not too picky when it comes to covers. I didn't notice the missing number until I saw this thread.

Too bad this didn't come out last week. I got the Crain cover and could have had him draw a #10 on it at the Long Beach Comic Con last Saturday. :lol:

Is this being a misprint going to affect the price of these books even if ALL of the a and b covers are this way?

I noticed this today, I went with Cvr C, and it really wasn't about the missing number, I liked Sook's cover best.

It doesn't sound like they are recalling/reprinting it, just alerting stores to the fact that there is no issue number on the cover. I don't think this problem will make them rare or valuable.

Agreed. They're no more rare than before, and there is no corrected version to compare print runs against. There is now a curiosity/novelty factor which will increase demand to some extent. I wouldn't expect it to be a large increase... but a couple of extra dollars wouldn't be surprising.

Agreed. I don't see any price difference in these. Honestly, even if they corrected them, the corrected versions would probably be harder to find, like the Rai mask issue.

What was the problem with the Rai mask issue?

No intention to correct form what i read, as there were multiple covers, some of which have the issue number as normal :)

I wondered why none of them in the store didn't have issue numbers on them. I thought mine looks a bit off-kilter from the prior nine issues :?

RAI is the only VEI comic that I still continue to buy every cover for. I recently took my two short boxes of Valiants to my buddy's house for storage. Cannot wait to see if I got one of these. Not Bloodshot Platinum material, but could be nifty. :hm:

I also hope that he does a massive print of all the connected covers! That would be quite something!

I have Cvr A with no numbers. I noticed it at the LCS but just assumed it was like that on purpose to show off the cover art.

:?
