As the story unfolds more and more players are drawn into the game and the stage is set for the final battle for the future of mankind.

View items consigned by SlabSmart: all items, auctions only

Printing Error Edition. This is an unintentional variant of the regular chromium cover edition. Due to variations in the application density of the white inks printed on top of the chromium background, in this printing error variant some areas that should be white instead appear yellow, cream, or beige colored. This is particularly noticeable in the Valiant logo box in the upper left corner. Contrast this with the Gold Edition, which has a speckly gold background in the Valiant logo box. Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti art. Written by Bob Layton and Jorge Gonzales. This issue does not have a card (coupon). Cover price $3.50.
