Fo Sho it dragged out way longer than anticipated just figured he'd had that trick up his sleeve for a while too.

Didn't his recent Discord or whatever book have a lot of these? I almost got it but bailed.

I do agree that this project did lose some steam but I think the firing of Dan Didio and Jim's added responsibility that he was given was probably a major issue that added the delay

but I do agree, I would like to see these gathered in a book and it is a shame that these cannot be used as variant covers. Even if some of these could be done in a portfolio format similar to the one that Marvel just did for Alex Ross.

I know owning a piece from Jim is enough for most people, but if I bought one of these with the promise it would be a cover and then it just wasn’t I’d be pretty pissed.

Totally agree-but with it helping comic shops, that's the big picture here. A lesson to learn for all of us-"don't count your covers until they're published", or something like that! It's kind of the opposite of when someone's commission they got ends up as a variant cover, right?!?

Probably the largest takeaway I've learned from my time here to to distance your finances from these creators and creative process as much as possible. Leave that for contracts and corporations.
