DARK
HORSE ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE EMERALD CITY COMICON
VARIANTS!
MILWAUKIE, OR, MARCH
13—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!
