As you can see above, the rare variant cover of Siege #3 has been revealed. Art by J. Scott Campbell. As mentioned in the PowetCast, the controversy surrounding this book is interesting. Marvel is giving one of these variant books for every 50 DC Blackest Night tie-in covers they receive. Not the book, mind you, just the ripped off covers. The specific books listed were part of a Blackest Night promotion where retailers had to order a certain number of each issue in order to get a bag of Lantern rings that are the focus of DC’s crossover. That would make this variant cover worth over a $100 out of the gate, if each of those DC books were $2 a piece.

This move seems to have upset many from all sides. It will be interesting to watch what these books go for on ebay once they are out.

Thanks to DeadpoolBugle for the news.
