Ultimate X-Men Vol. 1

I am creating this topic to add some missing covers and to suggest a few adjustments in the descriptions/details about a few Ultimate X-Men Vol. 1.

Ultimate X-Men #1B

Add back cover:

Update the description as this is a Dynamic Forces variant and cames with a Certificate of Authenticity

From:

Dynamic Forces Variant Limited to 7,000 copies

To:

Dynamic Forces Variant Limited to 7,000 copies with COA

Ultimate X-Men #1C

Add back cover:

Update the description as this is a Dynamic Forces variant and cames with a Certificate of Authenticity

From :

Dynamic Forces Sketched Edition Limited to 2,000 copies

To:

Dynamic Forces Sketch Edition Limited to 2,000 copies with COA

Ultimate X-Men #1D (Marvel Greatest)

Based on the release date of this edition (Jun 2011) keeping this as variant #1D in my understanding is not correct as many other variants were released before this one .

I would suggest the following:

From:

Ultimate X-Men #1D

To:

Ultimate X -Men #1J

Ultimate X-Men #1E

Based on the release date of this edition (Jun 2004) keeping this as variant #1E in my understanding is not correct as many other variants were released before this one .

I would suggest the following :

From:

Ultimate X-Men #1E

To:

Ultimate X-Men #1H

Ultimate X-Men #1F

This is a reprint from Ultimate X-Men issues 7 and 8.

Based on the release date of this edition (March 2002) keeping this as variant #1F in my understanding is not correct as other variants were released before this one .

I would suggest the following:

From :

Ultimate X-Men #1F

To:

Ultimate X-Men #1G

Update the release date: March 2002

Add Barcode: 759606900558

Update the description:

From:

Target Blue Variant

To:

Target Blue Variant

Reprint from Ultimate X-Men issues 7 and 8

Add back cover:

Update the number of pages:

From: 48

To: 32

Update the Plot:

The plot should be updated because is refering to Ultimate X-Men #1, it should be replaced by the plot from Ultimate X-Men 7 and 8.

Ultimate X-Men #1G

This is a preview edition with a smaller amount of pages than the Ultimate X-Men #1A and was oficially released before the Ultimate X-Men #1A .

Keeping this as variant #1G in my understanding is not correct .

I would suggest the following:

From:

Ultimate X-Men #1G

To:

Ultimate X-Men #1 PREVIEW

Keeping the space between the #1 and PREVIEW would keep this variant showing up before the #1A (I think ).

Add back cover :

Update the number of pages:

From: 48 pages

To: 32 pages

Ultimate X-Men #1H

This is a Special Edition, this variant has been released in October 2001 with a smaller number of pages than the variant #1A, following the release order this should be the cover F .

I would suggest the following:

From:

Ultimate X-Men #1H

To:

Ultimate X-Men #1F

Update the number of pages:

From: 48 pages

To: 32 pages

Ultimate X-Men #1I

This is a Checkers Reprint, his variant has been released in Jun 2001 with a smaller number of pages than the variant #1A, following the release order this should be the cover E.

I suggest the following:

From:

Ultimate X-Men #1I

To:

Ultimate X-Men #1E

Add back cover:

Update Variant Description:

From:

2nd Printing

To:

Reprint “B” Checkers (with no barcode)

Thank you!

This series was updated with the variant descriptions we’re currently using. The Following things have been updated:

  • What was #1F is now under a different title: Ultimate X-Men Target Reprint
  • Credits, all other data and variants descriptions are now up to date with our standard.

Couple of things I’d like more info of:

  • Would you mind posting a photo of the indicia of the #1I “2nd Printing”?
  • Would you mind posting a photo of the indicia of the #1D?

Hi Justin, thank you for the quick turn around.

I will post the pictures you have requested later today.

I also have a few more updates for other Newsstand editions, should I post in here or creating a new post in the missing topic?

I’m halfway trough correcting the entire series. I’ll be adding Newsstands here and there where they are missing. Feel free to drop them here :blush:

Hi Justin, please see the requested pictures below, I am actually sending you a few others in case required, please note that I am following the new variant identification available in the app:

Ultimate X-Men #1D

This is why I have suggested to have the Variant Description as Reprint “B” Checkers (with no barcode).

This one has 32 pages.

Ultimate X-Men #1E

This one has basically the same identification than the previous one:

Reprint “B” Checkers

The difference is that this one has a barcode.

This one has 32 pages.

Ultimate X-Men #1F

The best Variant Description for this one would be in my understanding Special Edition

This one has 48 pages.

Ultimate X-Men #1I

This one has 48 pages.

You said that you have updated them following the variant descriptions based on the descriptions you are currently using. I understand that, but I have some questions, if you could clarify them please:

1 - For the Ultimate X-men #1B and #1C, the Dynamic Forces covers, both came with Certificate of Authenticity, isn´t possible to add that information in the Variant description as I have suggested?

Dynamic Forces Variant Limited to 7,000 copies with COA

Dynamic Forces Sketch Edition Limited to 2,000 copies with COA

This is a relevant information as the COA is provided with the edition.

2 - For the Checkers Variant, it would be nice to have the descritions as:

Reprint “B” Checkers

and

Reprint “B” Checkers (with no barcode)

3 - I am also the opinion that for the Ultimate X-Men #1F, the previous description was more accurate than the new one:

Special Edition instead of Exclusive Reprint

This also is applicable for Ultimate X-Men #2B that was updated from Special Edition to Exclusive Variant.

These are only suggestions, I really appreciate the updates you already did. As I have mentioned I have a few requests to add a few missing Newsstand Variants, will post them below:
