GG LIFE IS A VIDEO GAME VOL. 1

What if a video game overwrote reality? When five friends meet up to celebrate the release of their favorite game’s new DLC content, they’re distressed to discover that the download’s wait time is a whopping 10 hours! Determined to wait it out, the girls fall asleep at their desks. When they wake up, the “World of Ragnarok” has somehow transcended realities, transforming their local shopping mall into one of the game’s dungeons. As the world around them continues to transform, becoming elements from the game, it becomes more and more difficult for the party of friends to separate reality from game-based fantasy… Written by Giacomo Masi and illustrated by Ilaria Gelli, GG is a story of adventure, friendship, and video games, all beautifully illustrated in a fresh, ultra-colorful “pop manga” style.

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.
