ABOUT
The Blue Blur’s battle with Dr. Eggman is upended when three enormous monsters emerge from a humongous fissure in reality. Godzilla, Mothra, and Mechagodzilla have descended upon Sonic’s world, turning cities into parking lots, causing giant explosions, and really stressing out Knuckles. Sonic and his loyal friends Tails and Amy team up to halt the kaiju onslaught, ready to face the biggest baddie they’ve ever fought.
Meanwhile, Dr. Eggman is delighted by Mechagodzilla’s alien tech. He sets his sights on the mechanical monster, determined to break down the beast and craft something eggtastic.
What caused the giant fissure? Will Sonic and friends be able to stop the monsters and Dr. Eggman? Is Godzilla’s real name Greg? Find out all this in more in the biggest crossover to ever hit shelves, Sonic the Hedgehog x Godzilla! Collects the five-issue series.
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.
