The April 6 release of
Black Panther #1, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, was one of the
most anticipated moments in comic books this year. Picking up a copy of
Black Panther #1 should've been easy enough, but doing so still presented some of us with a minor dilemma. Which cover to buy?
As with many major releases in the comic book industry, Marvel decided to produce alternate covers, known as "variants," for the first issue of Coates's run on
Black Panther. Some releases have 4 or 5 different variants. In some cases, we'll come across 10 or so. But in the case
of
Black Panther, there were 24 different variants.
Here's a look at the different covers. The link in the captions leads to more information on the variants and artists.
