Ultraverse newsstand issues

depluto · Post by **depluto** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:16 am

So I got bored last night and I spent about an hour on eBay comparing books to see which ones had the UPC code (mainly from the first year; almost all of the later books had them).

I was able to verify these visually:

Break-Thru: 1, 2
Exiles: 1,2, 3, 4
Firearm: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12
Freex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9
Hardcase: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8
Mantra: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15
Night Man: 1, 6, 8
Prime: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, Annual 1
Prototype: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 10
Rune 1, 2, 4
Sludge: 1, 3, 4, 5, 9
Solitaire: 1, 8, 9, 11
Solution: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Strangers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 17
Ultraforce 0, 1, 2
Warstrike: 1
Wrath: 1

If I had to guess, I think all the first year Ultraverse comics had newsstand variants. If anybody has visual confirmation on others, post them here pleez.

All the ones that come polybagged with a Series I standard card and 2.50 cover price are newstands as well.

Also you forgot Mantra 5 Variant - remember the flip-side is the Variant and has a UPC code on the flip-side only. It is a newstand as well.

Added a couple ... these things tend to show up in bunches. Makes me think some ebay sellers used to own a bookstore (not LCS) or bought up inventory from one.

Added a few more ... all visual confirmations

Prime 4 (Polybagged) is a newstand edition - comes both ways as well.

I didn't include the Mantras here since they are full variants ... there probably aren't UPC variants of the other covers, are there?
