Marvel Goes All In With Fourteen Retailer Exclusive Variants in April
Marvel Comics is ramping up their exclusive retailer variant cover programmes again. for March they pulled it back to seven but for April, it's double that at fourteen. But, while DC Comics only offer up to two and lots of retailers dive in, Marvel having fourteen seems to make them feel less special, and only one or two seem to get picked by anyone.
To get a retailer exclusive cover, shops, shows or creators have to order a minimum of 3000 copies, with subsequent variants at 1500 and 1000. They pay full wholesale price, plus the cost of the artist – unless they are the artist themselves. These can be sold for premium prices or used for promotional purposes as they often have the name of the store somewhere.

- TASKMASTER #1 (Order by 2/21)
- CHAMPIONS #1 (Order by 2/28)
