Press Release
ComiXology, the revolutionary digital comics platform, will be bridging the print-digital divide at Comic-Con International (Booth #2547) this year with a new variant cover available each day at the show and available digitally for the duration of the show at comixology.com.
These special limited edition variants include Marvel Comics’ A-Force #2 with cover by Siya Oum, Dynamite Entertainment’s The Spirit #1 with cover by Jenny Frison, BOOM! Studios’ Lumberjanes #15 with cover by Hope Larson, IDW Publishing’s Onyx #1 with cover by Gabriel Rodriguez, Valiant Entertainment’s X-O Manowar: Valiant 25th Anniversary Special #1 with cover art by Al Barrionuevo and a special comiXology Submit version of Aw Yeah Comics! #1 with cover by Faith Erin Hicks.
If you are at the Comic-Con International, stop by the comiXology booth (#2547) during the signing time to receive a signed copy of that day’s variant cover. Each physical variant giveaway is limited to 500 copies and is made available on a first come, first served basis. Variant signings will feature either the cover artist or key members of the creative team of each title, or both!
Not at the show? Then just go to comixology.com to purchase a special limited edition digital copy of that comic with the variant cover at the usual cover price. Digital versions will be made available the same day as the signing until the end of Comic-Con International and never be made available again.
