Article Summary
- Daniel Warren Johnson's Chainkata #1 is drawing massive retailer-exclusive variant demand ahead of Image Comics' November launch.
- Sources at Image say Chainkata #1 support is tracking at Energon or Absolute Batman levels, signaling a breakout hit.

A copy of the SDCC version just sold for $250 raw, and $480 in CGC 9.8, the retailer promo version for over $100 (from our friends at Rodman Comics) and $280 in CGC 9.8. And the retailers who read their promo edition have decided to step up… more when we hear them, but we know that Matt Wilson of Jinx Removing Studio is doing one for Glutonous Comics…
