x-o/iron man variant

Post by valiantdude »

why is it that there is no cover scan of that comic on this site , and by the way if you consider xo 15 pink as a part of a 100% collection, then you will also need this variant to be 100%

What is the variant on the book?

I guess I thought there were only two books in that "cross-over"...

Agreed, I don't think you'd get anyone else to disagree with that statement either.

Post a pic or a link if you find something that we don't know about!

wasn't there a promo type include with the gaem or given away at POS. I know TrU gives stuff away sometimes with new releases.

Heh

I didn't think anyone would want to see them anymore so I took them off.

I can't log to my account right now, but soon as I can I'll load them back up and Keith's links will work again :)

Ihave spoken to many comic shops and som had heard of it, it was brought up un this board like 2-4 mnoths ago, are you guys in denial?

I remember seeing that post. I think it was found it in a bargain bin?
I'd like to get ahold of one that's for sure! I'd also like to get a copy
of the game (even though I heard it was kinda lame).

That would have been me. I found the thing in my local comic shop's bargain bin and was trying to find out what it was.

I can try to post it again, if people want to see it.

yes please post a picture so we can have one on the archive because it seems greg is lacking that picture. from talking to various comic shop ownwers around the usa about it . the general consensus was it was a comic that you could order seperatly but might not have been a "buy 10 get a variant" type deal.
i told you guys it exists (just like the solar #10 white newstand edition)

I just want to know more info abut the comic. i thought this board was about sharing info not ridiculing and discrediting. I thought we all cared.

Kind of like YOUR Unity Variant R_D, but a bit more chunky.
It is a known variant. I was at a show the other day, and they 3 puked on Turok #1s on display. They even had a whole boxfull of the elusive water damaged Turok #1s.

I just sent Greg the cover scan of the book. I also included the back cover and two of the interior pages. I used to have them posted on some free server I had, but I canceled that account and lost those webpages. But not the comic, itself!

Myron asked:

I have it stashed away right now, but will dig it up this week and post more definitive information, but off the top of my head--

This is where it gets somewhat weird: the cover was from X-O Manowar/Iron Man, not Iron Man/X-O Manowar. It has Iron Man flying at you on the left side of the cover and X-O running at you on the right side. Again its the X-O/Iron Man cover. But the logo is clearly Iron Man/X-O. If you look at the original X-O/Iron Man a small red Valiant logo is above the X. But on this variant, the small red logo is above the O, just like it is on the Iron Man/X-O book. So I believe whoever published this thing took the cover image from X-O/Iron Man but used the logo from Iron Man/X-O. Confused yet?

Then, there is a vertical yellow stripe running the length of the right side of the comic. Inside this stripe are the words "GAME BOY GAME GEAR SEGA SATURN PLAYSTATION DOS CD-ROM".

At the bottom of the comic, there is a broad red horizontal stripe with yellow letters that says" VIDEO GAME NOW AVAILABLE."

The interior of the comic appears to be from the Acclaim X-O Manowar #1 Retailers Preview. It has B/W interiors. The first page is completely white, no artwork. The only things on the page is "X-O Manowar #1 by Mark Waid & Brian Augustyn, Shen Chen, Tom Ryder" in the middle of the page and in the lower right corner of the page is the following:
"Shipping in October from:
Acclaim Comics Inc.
275 Seventh Avenue
New York, NY 10001"

The first interior page of art is the splash page from X-O #1 (VH-2)in b/w. The indicia states this is X-O Manowar #1 Vol. 1 No. 1 October 1996 etc.

The back cover is a color ad for the X-O Manowar #1

Many of us do. Your caring and sharing persona kinda went out the window when you spewing details of us being in denial and tall tales of getting $10 harbinger pinks, then telling others they can fight over what scraps are left like a pompus kid. The weird thing is, that same company lists the much lesser desirable blue Harbinger #0 for more than you supposedly paid for pinks ... so get a grip on where we're coming from. Just my 2p.

Hey Steve... is this just a "full color wrap" around the X-O Vol 2 Retailer Review?

This is a different animal altogether. So far, it doesn't exist...
