Another varient has appeared, a sketch design with zombified Baroness, Optimus Prime and Winston Zeddemore:
I’ve seen that sketch variant before, but I wasn’t sure who the character on the right was. I thought it might be a ghostbuster, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was Shipwreck (the Navy guy with the parrot) from G.I. Joe.
That last variant is pretty cool. Will it be colored or stay sketched?
That’s the final design, no colouring or inking.
That’s not actually a variant. It’s an incentive-only sketchbook featuring zombified versions of GB, Star Trek, Transformers and G.I. Joe characters.
The zombie on the right is indeed a Ghostbuster, which is more obvious on the un-cropped version of the image (which was drawn by Kyle Hotz).
The sketchbook also features GB art by Dan Shoening, Erik Burnham and Don Figueroa.
EDIT: The GB art’s been posted here: Infestation Sketchbook - Ghostbusters Comic Books - GBFans.com
Personally I’d still call it a varient, people were happy to label the Retailer Incentive UV logo cover from Legion as such. It’s just a harder-to-get varient cover.
I’m not trying to bust your chops, but variant covers are for the same issue. (The UV Logo cover was still Legion #1,). This Sketch cover is for a completely different book, not Infestation #1.It’s a collection of different artist’s concepts of zombie-fied characters, it’s not an actual comic. And for a sketchbook, it’s cool. All the franchises are represented, and the spine is along the top of the book, instead of the side, which is an interesting (albeit random) change of pace.
Just bought the sketch book. Looks interesting.

I subscribed for this at my local Comic Shop long before AJ announced he would supply them, too. Sorry about that.
Mine came with the Transformers patch, so I’m guessing the patches are random distribution. Good luck getting the Ghostbuster patch(es).
I understand now, it not having the Sketchbook subtitle on threw me off into thinking it was a varient.
I’ve carried every single IDW Ghostbusters comic.. how is this any different?
Different as in collect the whole infestation set, not just the ghostbusters arc.
It does seem odd they just digitally slapped the Infestation #1 title on there, since that can be confusing. Here’s a scan of the actual cover:
I have a comic shop 1.5 hours north of me, and one 1.5 hours south of me…those are the closest viable options. Both had the Star Trek patch. Based on looking around online, it seems the Trek patch got a wider release than the Autobot one. . I guess we will have to wait and see if we get some definitive information on these patches. However, I’m wondering; since there are only four, and the first two were distributed with #1 (based on order amounts)the second two patches might be released with the second/final issue. Which means no patches with the tie-in issues.
