ABOUT
In a distant corner of the Laniakea Kingdom, humans live alongside powerful beings with strange tails known as dragonfolk. A girl named Geo, whose father has forbidden her from leaving the remote island where they live, yearns to escape the confines of this quiet countryside and explore the world. Everything changes in the moment when Geo meets the mysterious Nereid, who claims to have lost all his memories. The revelations keep coming, as Geo realizes that her father's kept her hidden because the whole world is hunting her, setting Geo and Nereid on a path to find the world’s most intrepid explorer, Yuri Holst. Could this living legend be the solution to Geo's problems? Strange lands and uncharted waters await... Let the grand adventure 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.
