I recently purchased through ebay a polybagged comic featuring the Fantastic Four, attainable only at the 2024 San Diego Comic Con. When I bought it was billed as a virgin variant of Fantastic Four #22. I submitted the cover to CPG be included but after receiving it it seemed a little too thick to be that issue. I was able to find a photo of the back (I am not taking it out of MY polybag) showing the words "Marvel Zero". I then submitted it to CPG under Marvel Zero. That submission was removed. I've asked my local comic shop about it and they were unable to confirm what it really is. If it's listed somewhere in CPG, I am unable to find it. Can anyone help me determine what this comic is? I do not want to open the bag.

I'm well aware that there are plenty of these on ebay as that's where I purchased this. But what is this "google" you're talking about? 
I certainly know how to submit unrecorded variant covers as I have done that many times. I was hoping that I could get a definite answer. But, I guess I'll unbag it and know for sure. |

I've used CPG since 2013 and have been a Gold member since 2016. I've recorded over 11,500 books in my account but I'm only just a level 4. I think that's because that even though I occasionally recommend price changes (most recently Fantastic Four #1, volume 7, J. Scott Campbell Anniversary Retro Variant) or cover additions I'm staying at a level 4 because I don't really buy or sell on the site and this is my first interaction in the forum. The level designation doesn't really matter much to me anyway.
I will most likely remove this from the bag tomorrow (Monday) and post the actual scan. I was hoping someone would have a definitive answer as to what it is without my having to do that but I guess someone has to be first. |

I went ahead and opened the polybag and much to my disappointment - but not surprise - this is indeed a Marvel Zero book. Being the variant cover Fantastic Four aficionado I like to think I am, I am unhappy that this is not a variant of #22. Oh well, now I and others know. And since it's not #22, I don't really care that it's opened.
I have a shot of the indicia but am unable to post it for some reason. I have to admit, using this forum has been an exercise in frustration. In addition to not being able to upload the photo, in order to reply I've had to log out and then re-log back in just to get the reply window up. I thank you for your help but I doubt I'll post here again. It's just too inconvenient.

Here's my actual cover scan and the indicia. I was finally able to get these posted here (what a mess). I've submitted this as a variant of Marvel Zero. We shall see. Now that I've actually determined what this is, the fact that I opened it and there are marks on the cover, I'm glad it's not issue #22. I own all four covers of FF#22 and this is definitely NOT that issue. |

CPG has now listed this book as a variant for Fantastic Four #22 with my name as a contributor. I've contacted CPG to get the book to Marvel Zero. |
