ABOUT
The space crew that made the historic flight to Saturnʼs moon were hailed as heroes—until they discovered a terrifying truth: The Earth that they returned to was the wrong one. Before they can reveal that theyʼre from a parallel world, the power-hungry billionaire who orchestrated the entire mission brands the group as traitors, forcing them to flee in order to survive.
Two members of their group are immediately captured, leaving the rest of the crew off balance and scrambling for a new plan. They quickly realize that their problems transcend this terrifying nationwide manhunt, however, when unexplained and catastrophic phenomena begin to occur all over the globe.
Now on the run and unsure where to turn or whom to trust, the crew can only rely on one another to find their way home—and to save not just one world, but two.
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.
