When Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 hits comic book stands in March 2024, be on the lookout for a foil variant cover featuring art by Benjamin Su.
While many people are not fans of variant covers, because it brings back the spectre of the bottoming out of the comic book (speculation) market of the 1990s, there are few things to keep in mind when it comes to variant covers
- Publishers wouldn’t make variant covers if people weren’t buying them
- It puts money in the pockets of artists like Benjamin Su
- Because variant covers are often limited in their run, some variant covers like 1:100 Jim Lee covers can go for hundreds of dollars. And for comic shops who claim their sales are suffering, selling a variant cover for $400 can be the difference between staying open another month, or going out of business.
Good Times!
And if you wonder what the series is about, check out this PR fluff from Marvel Comics:
The series will see the Spirit of Vengeance turn down a dark road as he abandons Johnny Blaze and possesses a powerful Marvel supervillain instead. It promises to be a very different chapter for the iconic flamehead.
In any case, you can get the Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 foil variant cover on March 13, 2024.
