Why is there a giant monster running around trying to eat the planet's king? Why does everyone on the planet seem so happy to be working all the time? Why can't Rex accept that the mysteriously helpful voice on the Sagan isn't just inside his head?!

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.
