I'm not sure about the exact particulars of ordering from MSK yet (art setup fees, minimums, etc) so there are some logistical items to review before I can say with 100% confidence about what will actually be ordered.
Agreed. These are probably good questions before we go too far down the wormhole of alternate backs.
Side note: The Snowy owl on the back taking advantage of the pearl effect of the plaques would indeed be dope!
