How soon should a new printing of a comic be uploaded to the site? As an example, I have seen solicitations for 3rd printings of Batman 89 and Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3. It looks like both books will be released on 4/1/2020 (better not be an April Fools joke). If I have images now, can I go ahead and submit as missing variants?

Thanks

Donald

I know you're waiting for an admin to reply (you could email ronbatman directly or message him), but my guess is that CPG won't add another printing listing until it's been released, and I'd also wait for them to add it themselves. If those books have been solicited in Previews, then likely CPG would add them shortly after they've been sent to the shops. And 3rd printings are not 'variants' to submit, they're just later printings, even if they have different covers. At least I think that's CPG's stance on later printings.

We don't upload any book until it has been released to the public. Some times books are delayed or canceled so we try to be safe with our additions.

Lately, we have tried to be increasingly more specific with how we label variants. Because there are so many now we differentiate between printings, variants and exclusives. It's our way of better organizing the site so that members can find things better.
