I just don't understand why anyone would create such a comic. It's like putting spinach in a cheesecake. You can do it, but why would you? |

I heard that Dynamite will do basically anything if they figure they can sell multiple covers / Variant covers on the same comic. You can also "rent" their characters for a price to use in your projects.

I heard that Dynamite will do basically anything if they figure they can sell multiple covers / Variant covers on the same comic. You can also "rent" their characters for a price to use in your projects. I believe that creating excessive numbers of variant covers is the #1 problem causing collectors to not support a company. Most dead/defunct universes from the 90's have fans that collect their titles. One 90's company that does not appear to have a loyal fan base is Harris Comics. Harris Comics was one of the first publishers I know to consistently release issues with as many as 10 variants. The more insignificant the comic, the less likely that collectors will be enthusiastic with buying multiples of that comic or buying back issues.
There is a mindset among publishers that they should not be concerned about back issue sales. That is foolish because the money a store will spend on new comics is tied up in old unsalable product. If back issue sales were healthy in the market, it would free up cash flow for the stores and allow them to experiment on more new product and order more heavily.
Personally, I don't even think about Dynamite or even consider buying their product at all. Even when a character interests me, I see the Dynamite brand and think "worthless".
I have no desire to own comics that are worth less than I paid in 2 months and/or they are undesirable or unsalable.
You can create products that collectors want to support or you can do like Dynamite and try to milk the cow that's already been milked dry.
