ABOUT
WHEN YOU’RE A COP IN THE YEAR 2142, YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO TRUST ANYONE . . . NOT YOUR PARTNER, NOT YOUR SPOUSE, NOT EVEN YOURSELF! From rising star Jordan Thomas (Mugshots) and powerhouse artist Daniel Gete (Biker Mice from Mars), the hyper-kinetic, near-future action epic Skin Police returns in a brand-new volume with a no-holds-barred turning point for a world where morally gray law enforcement, black market illegal cloning, and political strife are about to boil over in a hail of gunfire . . . Agents Eckis and Sheen swore an oath to protect the civilian population from the eminent danger of the rogue black market clones known as 'Dupes' that can suddenly 'pop' without any advance warning—which means any passerby on the street or subway could possibly become an unhinged spree killer on a moment’s notice. In return for their service, however, the public has dubbed Eckis, Sheen, and their fellow agents the 'Skin Police'—an insult handed back by a populace unwilling to sacrifice their own civil rights for the agents’ unprecedented duties in light of the Dupe threat. But what if these illegally manufactured clone doppelgängers weren’t as deadly as initially believed? What if they could be saved? And, as the underground resistance movement supporting them grows, what if their leader proves to be someone uncomfortably familiar to the Skin Police? Collects Skin Police 2 #1–4.

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.
