ABOUT

A graphic novel inspired by the BAFTA Award winning video game, Returnal!

After Helios crashes onto a hostile alien world, Selene Vassos, a lone ASTRA scout, must fight for her life against the horrific hostiles that live beyond every shadow.
Following a trail of distorted memories, Selene just needs to hold on long enough to track down the White Shadow signal. Mystery shrouds the world of Atropos, and she begins to wonder: will she find answers at the end of her journey, or is this nightmare inescapable?

Based on the Returnal original game idea from Harry Krueger and Harri Tikkanen and created by the Housemarque brand team, with Igor Lomov, Khalil Osaimi, Mikael Haveri, and Gregory Louden from the narrative team of the game Returnal, and featuring the stunning art of Igor Lomov and Aaron Järvinen, this adaptation brings their BAFTA Award-winning sci-fi action thriller to the world of graphic novels.

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.
