What if the Avengers were the last super heroes on Earth? And perhaps most startlingly of all, what if Dazzler became the herald of Galactus?! Plus, years before the Clone Saga rocked Peter Parker's world, what if Spider Man's clone had survived? And yet more trips into the infinite possibilities of the Multiverse featuring Thor, Man-Thing, Ghost Rider, Iron Man - and Matt Murdock, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Plus: The hidden history of the Eternals…and a classic all-comedy issue exploring the wildest What Ifs of all!

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.
