The Walking Dead #100 "Lucille" variant. Foil vs. Non-foil.

Can someone explain how this happened, and if there are any differences besides the foil?
When were each released?
Which version do you prefer?

Don't take my word for it, but I don't think there is a Lucille Foil Variant. I know there's a foil cover, but it's just the regular cover. I could be wrong though.

I believe one is a retailer incentive and the other was a black friday release on skybound website.
Retailer is limited -500 and the Foil is limited to 250?
I could be wrong, I just want to clear it up.

I don't exactly get the question, "How this happened?", Image saw an opportunity to sell more copies of the TWD 100, so they went after it. And 250 copies at $250 each, they made $6,250 minus expenses, which I imagine where low.

Not sure about non-foil's release, but there is a Bleeding Cool article about it dating mid August 2012 so sometime around there or before.
Foil was released as you said on Black Friday, so November 2012.

I imagine the only differences are the cover type and price point.

And honestly, I think it's a boring cover.
