ABOUT

This thrilling sci-fi/fantasy series welcomes you to Japan, a top-ten destination for extraterrestrials looking for refuge, relaxation, a good time, or just to raise a little hell!

Join one unsuspecting Tokyoite as he discovers that intergalactic tourist relations can prove to be a lot more dangerous than they seem!
Our intrepid hero-in-training, Akira Gunji, and his somewhat terrifying boss, Reiji Amamiya, drop in on a black market auction that deals in the illegal trade of extraterrestrial creatures. When Akira suffers a near-lethal attack by one of the aliens, Amamiya inscrutably leaves him for dead! Surely the calculating AMO head has some plan in mind...but that falls by the wayside when Amamiya catches a glimpse of what’s inside the alien creature. Whatever it is succeeds in igniting his fury and triggering painful memories...

At long last, the spotlight of truth falls on the mysterious past that Amamiya and Akira’s father share!

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.
