When I look on diamondscomics's list they don't mention it, do you check on marvel/dc.com to see what issue are getting variant covers ? What's your trick ?

No, preview pages don't come out the same time (Friday before the Wednesday release is standard) as solicits (months ahead), but the solicits do mention variant covers where available.

The Diamond list usually mentions variants. For instance, in this week's list:


Amazing Spider-Man #666 2ND PTG RAMOS VAR (PP #983) $3.99
Amazing Spider-Man #667 2ND PTG RAMOS HERO SKETCH VAR SPI $3.99
Amazing Spider-Man #667 2ND PTG RAMOS LIZARD SKETCH VAR SPI $3.99
Amazing Spider-Man #668 SPI $3.99

Yeah but it didn't say so for Incredible hulks which had 3 variants. Neither do they mention the variants for x-men comics, which have one pretty often.

if you go to www.comixology.com


not the digital stuff.. they have a print side of their website... its the main section


they list out whats available each week... thats where i see variants listed... not that i have anyway of getting them without driving an hour.... but at least I can see they are there

It's probably easier to list the ones that aren't.

Diamond's website has a page listing all upcoming variants & reprints: http://previewsworld.com/public/default.asp?t=2&m=1&c=6&s=574

Definitely. It seems like everything has a variant these days.

If you order from just about any online retailer, Variants are always listed.

What list is more accurate ?
When I check on previewsworld.com they don't list severed #2 or '68 and on comixology they do. And vice versa for The boys 58...
Which one is telling the truth damn it ?!
