I cant find a news stand version. There is only a direct edition listed.

For a long time the newsstand and direct editions had been considered one and the same as the only difference is the newstand version will have a barcode and the direct version will have some sort of art, logo, or ad in its place. But in recent years there has been a growing interest by collectors for specific versions. Recently CPG has started selectively adding newstand/direct variants for certain titles as time permits. This is a massive undertaking so you'll occasionally see a huge batch show up in the "new comics" listings. I'm not sure how they are prioritizing which titles get done, but in time most major titles will be addressed.

Newsstand vs Direct editions are usually similarly priced. There are notable exceptions as the newsstand issues became more and more scarce. Newsstand were also treated more harshly than direct edition books. As Solarno stated we are moving to add them into the system but the numbers are staggering.
