ABOUT
Complete story in one volume!
In the lightless depths of the world lies The Cell, where dangerous untouchables are imprisoned. Among those prisoners are Shiori, Bijou, Nerissa, Fuwawa, and Mococo, the five who would later call themselves Advent. Though their prison life was uncharacteristically comfortable, they wanted more—they wanted freedom.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, Gigi, Cecilia, and Raora, the four defenders known as Justice, find themselves embroiled in a bitter battle with boredom. The two groups soon find themselves facing off in an ancient contest, the Oliventis, with the prisoners' freedom on the line. A battle for the ages is about to begin!
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
