Massive Select's Rare, Tiered & Con Exclusive Covers Direct To Stores

Massive Publishing's new line Massive Select will offer rare, tiered & comic convention exclusive covers directly to comic book stores

Don't expect any new Massive/WhatNot/Sumerian books solicited for June 2024. Instead, they are doing something else for the month before San Diego Comic-Con. Massive Select, for their second anniversary, selling some of their exclusive, variant and premium covers of previously published titles direct to comic book retailers, without the tiers, qualifications or convention-exclusive nature. But with a price attached.

At Denver Fan Expo 2022, Massive launched the Whatnot Publishing line of books that saw their limited edition variant covers reach prices of over $1,200 a book on the secondary market. Massive Select is a new division within the company that will offer rare specialty products, including never-before-seen collaborations big comics names, Massive's partners, and other publishers.

"Massive Select gives us the possibility to answer the LCS and fan's demand, which I couldn't be more excited by, There is no better feeling for a publisher than to be able to tell a comic creator: hey, your book is going back to local comic book shops with this EPIC new cover!'' – Kevin Roditeli, President of Massive Publishing.

The initial offerings of Massive Select includes David Mack's limited-edition cover for The Exiled featuring Wesley Snipes, a foil and metal edition of Toni Infante's iconic Liquid Kill #1 cover, a black & white variant of Sean Murphy's North ValleyGrimoire #1 variant cover, and more from Alpha Betas, Quested, Astrobots and more.

Massive Select will also provide opportunities to other publishers to partner on all-new project. But for now, here are their June 2024 solicits and solicitations.
