DC Comics Retailer-Exclusive Cover Variants for Suicide Squad #1, Harley Quinn #1 and The Judas Contract #1

Another month, another three retailer-exclusive cover variants like last month, from DC Comic as they continue to up the amount of these being offered. Still not Marvel numbers, but then they also haven't cannibalised demand for them. Yet.

It's an effective, if expensive, way for both publishers and comic shops to a) get some promotion and create collectables for the market, and b) up their orders. Begun by Dreamwave back in the day, it was popularised by IDW and now Marvel Comics does it more than anyone else with anywhere between five and fifteen titles a month.

This December, DC offers retailer variant covers on three titles, Suicide Squad #1, Harley Quinn: Villain Of The Year #1, and Tales From The Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1.

Suicide Squad #1 by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo gives the Squad a new mission is to neutralize a new group of international super-terrorists known as the Revolutionaries. But when the U.S. government's most deniable team of do-badders realizes that the surviving Revolutionaries will be joining the Squad, all hell breaks loose! Who can Harley Quinn and Deadshot trust when their new teammates are the very people their crew was assigned to kill? On-sale date of December 11th. All orders for custom retail variants must be finalized by Friday, November 1st.

Harley Quinn: Villain Of The Year #1 by Mark Russell and Mike Norton has the DCU's most dastardly gather at the Hall of Doom to do what they do best-congratulate themselves! But one villain has a secret plan, fueled by years of being overlooked by his peers, and the burning desire to receive the praise he so rightly deserves… On-sale date of December 11th. All orders for custom retail variants must be finalized by Friday, October 25th.

Tales From The Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1 by Kyle Higgins, Mat Groom and Tom Raney Terra's betrayal starts not with the Teen Titans, but with Deathstroke himself! Now free from her mentor's influence and supercharged by the same serum that turned Slade Wilson into the world's deadliest man, Tara Markov will forge a new destiny, written in the Teen Titans' blood. Don't miss out on a one-of-a-kind comic book experience, with the winners decided by the fans. On-sale date of December 11st. All orders for custom retail variants must be finalized by Friday, October 25th.
