Perhaps I should have done my research and seen that IDW does special editions with illustrations and what in future printings, thats my bad I suppose.

Like Mark said, the HC is fantastic and its not the end of the world to miss out on this. But I certainly would have waited had it been much more apparent that this was coming.
When the regular edition first appears for preorder purpose on IDW website (previous to June 20th of this year), it was clearly stated in the book description that "A variant cover will be available at Comic-Con International, and a signed and remarqued edition will be available at a later date" (it's an exact quote from the old IDW artist's edition website). But it was not stated that it will cost 350$ .
