Neon Covers For Knight Terrors Reportedly A Damp Squib

Bleeding Cool gets some worrisome word for collectors regarding the DC Comics Knight Terrors comic books that begin landing next week.

Bleeding Cool gets some worrisome word for collectors regarding the DC Comics Knight Terrors comic books that begin landing next week (and you can catch up on some of the gossip concerning that right here). The Knight Terrors and Knight Terrors: First Blood comics are meant to come with special "neon" cardstock covers and an extra $2 on the cover price, $3.99 to $5.99, and $5.99 to $7.99.

But Bleeding Cool has been told that rather than the traditional neon inks that people might be expecting, those who have seen advance copies tell us that they "look like a plain red-blue-yellow recolouring instead of what collectors would deem a real neon ink treatment, which is foil-ly. The yellow may stand out in the dark, but it's not near any glow effect. For a comic priced more than a card stock, this seems to look more like a misprint."

This wouldn't have been the first time a comic book publishes big idea of a new comic book variant that hasn't played out as well in reality. We remember Marvel Comics' Legacy variant covers that was much hyped but really didn't work.
