The origins of the Sketch Variant seem muddled, but it seemed to show up and was sent out to Diamond retailers on a limited basis under Diamond code FEB158108. However, the oddity here is that a Sketch Variant was released of the comic as well, close to the same time the promotion was running at Toys R' Us. The comic is pretty easy to find now, with copies ranging from $4 to $15 depending on condition.

Before that, though, the only way to get the comic was through the promotion or through secondary sources like eBay. Unlike many of the other promotional comics of this ilk, Armor Wars #1/2 was reprinted in the Secret Wars Battleworld's Armor Wars Trade (quite a title) where it belonged.

This area's entire populace must wear armor due to rampant disease, so every page is full of armored individuals going about their daily life. Armor Wars takes place in one of these worlds, Technopolis, which is run mostly by Tony Stark, Iron Man, and policed by James Rhodes, who, as War Machine of this reality, also has the power and authority of Thor. For those who've forgotten, during the 2015 Jonathan Hickman epic, all the surviving parallel worlds were smashed together by Doctor Doom, powered by the Beyonders great energy, into one giant tapestry of a world, Battleworld.

Written by Armor Wars mini-series writer James Robinson, most famous for DC's Starman 75 issue run, and Mark Bagley, Marvel extraordinaire who has drawn for almost every Marvel comic, the duo reunited five years after their Justice League of America run at DC, bringing an action-packed opening to the Secret Wars Battleworld Mini-Series. The promotion was started on May 3rd Obscure Comics: Armor Wars #1/2 In 2015 though, with Avengers Age of Ultron in theaters and the Secret Wars under Jonathan Hickman destroyed the Marvel comic universe, Toys R' Us did a comic promotion to bring in more customers. As discussed twice before, Toys R' Us was the last large retail chain devoted only to toys in the United States and closed most of its stores in 2018 after 70 years of business.
