For the first three months of the DCU relaunch, DC Comics offered comic stores a mixture of variant covers, returnability and extra discounts on certain titles to encourage retailers to order more titles. Which seems to have paid off and the audience has been there so far.

But then, what happend in December? Turns out, exactly the same thing.

Justice League #4 will get a variant cover by Andy Kubert featuring Aquaman, which can be ordered, one for every twenty-five of the standard cover ordered. And a black and white Jim LEe cover variant for every two hundred copies ordered.

The Flash #4 will also have a Eric Basalda variant cover determined by the lowest ordered DCU title. There will also be a black and white Flash #4 variant by Francis Manapul for every two hundred copies ordered.

Action Comics #4 will have similarly based covers by Greg Capullo and a black and white variant by Rags Morales

And Batman #4 will have a variant by Mike Choi and a black and white variant by Greg Capullo.

And Green Lantern#4 will have a variant by Francis Manapul and a black and white variant by Doug Mahnke.
