Re: RAI #1 - Cover info
Dang, thank goodness for this site...I'd never be able to keep up with all the variants!
I'll just buy whatever regular-priced ones my comic shop puts in my pull box. Any of the really cool ones, I might get on ebay. But obviously there are going to be several variants I won't be getting. Ah, well.

My only critique of it would be that it looks like it he is wearing clothes, which is just a little weird for me considering the source material.

I can't believe VEI let Graham Crackers have any part of their business.

Its cool to have a cover with the girl on it - she looks like she will be a major character in this title (or at least the first arc)

You could probably chase one down on eBay or see if someone on this messageboard is willing to pick one up and ship it to you. The Hastings variant of Unity 1 was a $6 book.

Re: RAI #1 - Cover info
So i guess there are no other variants to list?
I think i'm going to try and be a Rai #1 completist
I just completed my Unity #1 collection (finally) - I think I have every variant, exclusive, 3d cover, red, preview..etc you can have plus a ton of extra signed covers. The only thing that I think I really need to make it even more complete is a blank cover that has an artist sketch on it. I'll try to get that done the next time i'm at a con.
Rai, i'm even more excited about, so I think i'll have to make it my mission to get every one of these covers at some point as well.

Re: RAI #1 - Cover info
Looks like we have another cover (saw this on Valiant's FB page):
so will have to wait for the website to get updated to see their price
Although when I went to the link, I couldn't find the issue on their site yet...RAI #1 Retailer Exclusive Cover of the day: Cards and Collectibles in Baltimore, by the great J.G. Jones!
