ABOUT

Agatha Harknessholds a Contest of Chaos, and pits Marvel’s greatest champions against each other!
Agatha Harkness is building a new Darkhold — and she’s using Earth’s mightiest heroes to do it! First on her list is Spider-Man, whose regular day is turned upside down when he involuntarily walks through a portal to a remote, magical city…and is attacked by Wolverine! The Fantastic Four are drawn into the mayhem when the Human Torch is pitted against Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider! It’s flame versus hellfire when the two heroes face off — but who will emerge victorious?! Iron Man versus Storm is another clash of titans you won’t want to miss! But, as more of Agatha’s plan is revealed, who are those determined to stop her?

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.
