Afro Samurai Vol. 1 Gets Limited Edition Foil Variant

Published Wed, 08 Jun 2022 11:36:10 -0500

Millennial nostalgia has finally pushed the comic book industry to the brink! Once upon a time, the excesses of 1990s comic book publishing were viewed largely as a cautionary tale, with an overreliance on the speculator market, number one issue reboots, and ever-escalating variant cover gimmicks seen as the cause of the near-collapse of the comics industry by the end of the decade. But as Millennials creep further into midlife crises and lament their lost youth and looming old-age and eventual death, their desire to relive their 1990s glory days has brought back many of those aforementioned excesses, including, unbelievably, the foil variant cover! Yes, Titan Comics has revealed that the upcoming collection of Afro Samurai vol. 1 will feature a foil variant cover by Takashi Okazaki. God help us all… and especially help the Millennials. They really need it.

You can order the Afro Samurai vol. 1 foil variant here (for US Millennials) and here (for UK and Europe Millennials).
