As the pop culture world gears up for Seattle’s
Emerald City Comicon, Dark Horse announces not one, not two, not even three,
but four variant covers for this year’s show!
The first few months of 2014
will see some of Dark Horse’s biggest launches of the year, and we have chosen
to celebrate with Emerald City variants for Serenity
#1, Buffy #1, Veil #1, and a very special variant of Witcher #1.
First up is Veil, the much-talked-about new, original
series by Greg Rucka and Toni Fejzula. For this year’s show, Dark Horse has
tapped J. H. Williams III to create the variant cover. Limited to 500
copies, Veil #1 is sure to go
quickly, especially with writer Greg Rucka in attendance!
Next, we have the hotly
anticipated Season 10 premiere of Buffy
the Vampire Slayer, with a variant cover
by Season 9 cover artist Phil
Noto, limited to 1,000 copies. Look for interior artist Rebekah Isaacs at this
year’s show!
Another one for Joss Whedon
fans: Dark Horse brings Jenny Frison on for a special cover of Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #1,
featuring none other than the lovely Inara! A few lucky fans may even get
actress Morena Baccarin herself to sign their copies!
Last, and certainly
not least, legendary artist Stan Sakai has done a special cover of the upcoming
tie-in series The Witcher, a canonical entry in the world of the Witcher video games, which have
collectively won over 250 awards and sold more than 5.5 million copies
worldwide! All proceeds from the sale of this limited edition variant
will benefit Stan and Sharon Sakai. Stan will be attending the show, in
celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of his landmark series, Usagi Yojimbo!
Each variant-cover issue
will cost five dollars and will be limited to ten copies per person, per day! A
set quantity will be available at the show opening each day.
Hope to see you at this
year’s Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, WA, on March 28–30!
