So, Secret Wars #1 – and all issues it seems – are getting a bit of a cover treatment.

novelIt cannot be denied that, in the hand, DC Comics have felt thicker, glossier, more impressive, that Marvel who use the same stock for internal pages as they do covers, or "self cover" as it is known.

But the Death Of Wolverine series has a certain heft to it. So what are Marvel planning?

I understand it's a mix of both matte and gloss UV coatings which will increase the contrast between the background and the foreground characters, and pinpoint select pieces of art.

It will be a similar effect for their prose novel jackets and point to the recent Secret Wars novel as an example…

All retailers will be sent a sample of the cover in April to share with their readers.
