Rob Liefeld Draws Cover To Chase Variant... Variant

- Chase Variant stars a four-armed, genetically altered assassin in a blockbuster, action-packed story.

- Chase Variant is written by Rich Johnston, with art from Saverio Tenuta and Edmund Bagwell.
I gave you a preview of Chase Variant earlier today, my new comic published by Image Comics, in a couple of weeks or so. And somehow (I'm blaming my evil twin), MTV got the drop on the 1-in-10 variant cover by none other than Rob Liefeld. Rob created the first four-armed character I can recall, in the form of Forearm, and was a part of the whole collectable market that Chase Variant found creative inspiration in, so this was a natural fit. Also, his work has always had that kind of kinetic pop that bypasses cognitive functions and just looks damn cool, perfect for Chase. So bring on the Rob!

Comics industry gossip columnist, Doctor Who writer and creator of Watchmensch, RICH JOHNSTON joins with 2000AD's BAGWELL and Heavy Metal's SAVERIO TENUTA for a very different kind of comic. A balls-to-the-wall blockbuster action comic starring the four-armed genetically altered assassin, Chase Variant, as she tries to fulfill her missions while stopping rival governments from trying to collect her for themselves. But all the time, her every action is predicted by a very familiar card game being played by unknown assailants, challenging Chase's belief in self-determinism. This is Michael Bay meets Rene Descartes, TOMB RAIDER meets ANNIE HALL.
