If it was worth it to you, then no, you didn't get jacked. If you only got it for possible resale value, then only time will tell if you got jacked.

Well... you got a mediocre book (which you loved so bonus there I guess) and some Neal Adams art (ALWAYS a plus!)

The thing with variants is they rarely if ever hold their value.

If YOU thik it was a good purchase and YOU think it was worth $20 then yes you did fine.

The fact you are asking though leads me to believe you may not think so.

Pesonally I think anyone who pays over the odds for a comic because it has a variant cover is being ripped off

Ouch!

Not very Supermanish there sarro...

I didn't know there was a variant cover until a few weeks after the book came out... My store had a bunch of copies and I'm a GIANT Neal Adams fan but...

Yuck! I thought it was ugly and had little or NO resemblance to the Neal Adams look that use to be able to get me to buy ANY comic with his art on the cover...

The quickest way to get banned?
Insults with swearing.

AND you invoked the name of the Lord in vain!! Tisk tisk tisk. Swearing AND a sin. :p

In all seriousness (well, I am serious about the above stuff) you asked if you got jacked and dancj said anyone paying more for a variant is getting ripped. He aswered your question and you got insulting and aggressive. You are in the wrong my friend.

Er... is there a point to even having this thread now? It's weird to see it exist.

Well if it doesn't get bumped by people like you and me it might just fall down the page into oblivion. :)

I don't see any reason to specifically delete the post.
