ABOUT

Take two—two numbers, that is! All you need to solve these tricky and entertaining binary puzzles are 0, 1, and a little cleverness. The aim is to fill in the grid with zeros and ones until there are an equal number of each in every row and every column. But no more than two of the same number can be next to or under each other, and no two rows or columns can look exactly alike. Each puzzle has only one correct solution and there’s an explanation of all the strategies that will turn newcomers into masters. Start with the easier ones, and as your skills increase, tackle the super-challenges. Puzzle lovers will find BINARY a brilliant new spin on Sudoku!

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.
