ABOUT
At the centre of all creation lies Far Eternity, where universes converge and reality is kept in balance. Scientist John of the Night and his daughter Aysha uncover a plot by The Perfection? a fanatical cult? to kill God and reboot the “flawed” multiverse into something supposedly perfect. As if that’s not enough, Medea? Aysha’s mother and a witch-queen with a flair for drama? plans to sacrifice her to recharge her magic and avert an invasion. With cosmic forces closing in, John faces an impossible choice: save Aysha or risk the collapse of all existence. Inspired by Jack Kirby’s grand cosmic epics, John of the Night blends humour, myth, and multiversal mayhem with themes of sacrifice, destiny, and the baffling indifference of higher powers. A cosmic adventure driven by a fraught but fiercely loyal father-daughter bond against reality-shattering odds.
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.
