COLLECTED CRIMEHOT VOL. 1

A sexy sci-fi comedy about the three hottest criminals in the universe. Haze: shapeshifter/galaxy’s greatest thief. Blue Lick: catman/brawny getaway driver. Rat: angel/bombshell hacker. In a future where humanity was guided by an all-knowing Algorithm to leave Earth behind and colonize the depths of outer space, our three hot thieves plan heists that can’t be predicted by unfeeling computer code. Always on their tail is Inspector Hundred Cold, one of the Algorithm's robot lackeys built to serve the machine-made status quo that our heroes simply can't resist toying with. A hilarious and erotic send-up of cat-and-mouse crime capers by the cartoonist who brought you Mr. Boop! THE COLLECTED CRIMEHOT: VOL. 1 includes the series’ first five chapters, packaged with a “slip” cover that can be easily removed to reveal naked drawings. We highly recommend this.

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.
