Which All-Star No. 1 cover did you buy and why?
I bought Batman because I refuse to buy both and if I have to have one, it's gotta be the big guy.

I'm no huge fan of Robin, but he takes up less space on the cover, so I get to see the Bat-signal. And I have tons of Batman covers  And I, too, refuse to spend money on alternate covers. I played that game (sort of) in the early 90's. It stunk then. Robin it is, Chuck |

Not only did batman and robin have 2 covers, but both ultimate fantastic four and ultimate x-men had alternate "limited edition" covers. The guys at the comic book store had already set aside the ult x-men alt cover (1/15 ratio), no doubt to sell it at a higher price. They tried to pull the same stunt before with astonishing x-men, and when I questioned them about it, they took it out of the bag and gave it to me at cover price.

Since I really don't care about 'special' covers, I don't mind, but I can see how frustrating that would be. Mine also just upped their price on Minimates from $5.95 to $7.95 for a regular box - the chase was $9.99 and it's now $12.99. When I asked one of the employees about the price increase, they said "Gee, I don't know..." I guess I'll start shopping online more. I can get a discount and get everything all at once. |

But I just couldn't pick him over Batman when it came down to it. I will say this though: The composite of the two is almost like a modern-day version of the cover of Batman No. 1, which I suspect was the point. I also suspect later printings or a TPB will use the composite image or a version thereof. |

I bought Batman; I actually decided not to buy both about 5 minutes away from the comic shop, and I wouldn't want to buy a first issue of any Bat-title if it didn't have Bats on the front.  |

First issue of a new batman comic book so it had to have bats on it. It wasn't an easy decision but there was loyalty due to batman.

I have a pull and save at my comic store (Web Head in Wakefield MA) and I just got the cover Dean gave me, which was Robin. Fine by me, oh by the way that comic was off the charts...AMAZING

I know have both covers, after looking at the one with Robin on it for awhile I decided I really needed to have the one with Batman on it!
