I've added the cover for https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/leave-on-the-light/2B/pkvthsx once or twice now and it looks like it's being rejected. Not sure why, it's definitely the variant cover. Cover scan is attached. Reference is the publishers website, https://antarctic-press.myshopify.com/collections/new-releases/products/leave-on-the-light-2?variant=31684696309844

I think it keeps getting rejected because it is unclear if it ia actually the correct cover for the issue.

Cover A is this one: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUN191437

Cover C should be added and i think should be this virgin\ which is the foil virgin variant: https://www.comicbooksurplus.com/products/leaveonthelight2of3cvrbfoilvar-jun191438

Cover B needs descriptor updated with the cover above and gold foil variant. Interesting the cover submitted matches most on the bay, having gold lettering. The one on the pub site has white lettering.

All the above covers have the same cover artists.

Then I also found this potential variant (what’s with the rabbit holes today). Less confidence in whether it is part of this as it might be part of the Second Sight 2021 run): https://www.hipcomic.com/listing/leave-on-the-light-2-b-w-virgin-anartic-press/6154906/?shopping=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA6NOPBhCPARIsAHAy2zBgHgloy_WVRTcuuF8kEtz7YGsM5K0QmwezSgU9ExlkaPC2AK6Qaz4aAo2WEALw_wcB

Would Welcome thoughts on these.

oops, totally missed the white title vs gold title thing. since all I see everywhere for that cover is the gold, I assume the publisher's site has a pre-production cover. so attached a pic of the gold letter edition.
this stuff gets so confusing with 2 publishers and weird variants. didn't find anyone else with the B&W variant, not sure that site even has the correct image. The cover C virgin appears to be legit.
so I'll leave the rest of the detective work to others on this title, have fun..

To the earlier point, I hadn't been as attentive to cropping and sizing as I should, which I corrected and resubmitted.
I hadn't come across a virgin of Cover A before, so yea, there's another one
Regarding the white vs. gold lettering on Cover B, I was assuming the white lettering image on the pub site was maybe a pre-production image, as I haven't seen a white letter issue for sale. That said, issue number 1 has an original and variant cover, both of which have an alternate variant with gold lettering, so maybe there are both original white and gold foil versions of 2B as well.
Not sure what's going on with the B&W Virgin, can't find any reference anywhere to that other than the link you posted. Not sure what's going on there.

I don't know how you want to organize this, but I initiated a request for a new variant (Virgin Foil of cover 2A), with the associated cover. Then I guess the 2B description would need to be updated for the bloody, gold label cover as applicable. This would keep things consistent with 1B and 3B, as each of those display the publisher defined variant as well. Note that the bloody, gold label cover, Cover B, is only credited to "Helmut Racho" though.

Alternatively, let me know if you want to do it the other way around

I have it in queue. Folks have been busy this weekend with the weather keeping them inside so been trying to blow through a bunch of those today. Likely will finish up this Lights issue tonight.
Thanks!

Thanks for the variant submission and the great dialogue here.
The clear Leave on teh Light #2 issues and scans are set.

I did leave out the possible variant I stumbled on from HipComic ( https://www.hipcomic.com/listing/leave-on-the-light-2-b-w-virgin-anartic-press/6154906 ). I attached the virgin issue cover grab to this post as well. Reverse Image search resulted in no hits; not even for the HipComic entry. If anyone has any thoughts on whether this is a true LotL2 issue/variant, please drop them here

two ways to confirm it--go to the sources: contact Antarctic Press: http://antarctic-press.com/html/Conact.php
contact Dave's Comic Vault if this twitter acct is active and the same guy, and ask if he posted the right pic on hipcomic: https://twitter.com/doctorpanic904?lang=en

Confirmed through Antarctic Press, Bradley Golden and Helmut Racho. The ghost variant is legit, it's a Comic Elite Exclusive that Bradley Golden produced himself, external to Antarctic Press. 200 print run. I've initiated a variant request with that info.
During my research, I discovered some other misattributions related to this title which I've itemized out in a new thread. Looks like the Antarctic Press website isn't up to date
