Daniel offered to sell the Dogu (Julie's) Variant at the regular cover price to UY Dojo members, one per member. This special is only offered to Dojo members so please do not spread it around. Julie's cover is absolutely wonderful. If you like her art, you will LOVE what she did here. I'll post the art on my FB page in the coming days.
That is very generous of Daniel and Julie. I know I'll take one and assume I'll be picking up some for other Dojo members to add to the variant packages I'll be mailing out to them, so they won't have to be mailed out by you separately if that's easier.

As for the Comics & Ponies covers, they usually tend to sell around the $15-20 range (though if the b/w cover is super limited, I could see it costing a bit more), so way less than that eBay seller.

I wasn't going to order all the variants...then I ended up ordering them anyway since Collector's Paradise was offering the 3-comic retailer incentive bundle. :D

I am so happy they gave you that deal. I know you are having fun tracking all the variants but it also is a lot of work. You deserve some good deals! Thank you for all the fun! Peace, maka

Thank you for this - I'm probably going to stick with just the main cover, but I'm loving showing my boys the various covers :D

Too bad the title banner covers most of the dragon's head. I sure hope this (along with Stan's Ragnarok half) gets a poster or print from IDW.
I believe there will be a print of this given at the IDW dinner. I don’t think it will be available elsewhere.

Incidentally, we each worked all over the art, not just on our halves. Can you tell which parts I worked on in this part of the cover?
Steve found the article that unlocks the mystery!

That's an awesome homage to The Walking Dead (Michonne). Usagi's scar is over the wrong eye though. I know I'm the only person obsessed with stuff like that.

Good call on the scar placement and catching the Walking Dead homage.
