ABOUT

Never-before-told stories of the X-Men by comic book legend John Byrne!
Comic book legend John Byrne bridges the gap between the X-Men’s classic and all-new, all-different eras! In this series, skillfully woven between the X-Men’s 1970 cancellation and 1975 revival, thrill to previously unknown exploits of  the strangest teens of all as they search the Savage Land for Magneto! Iceman goes it alone, tragedy strikes Angel, and Beast, Cyclops and Marvel Girl encounter a young mutant named Ororo! The X-Men head into space with the Fantastic Four, Sauron soars again, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants returns, and the team faces the mysterious group the Promise! Plus: Sentinels, Kraven the Hunter, the Mole Man and the Yeti! And it all concludes with a seamless “crossover” with a classic FANTASTIC FOUR tale!

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.
