Massive Publishing’s new line Massive Select will offer rare, tiered & comic convention exclusive covers directly to comic book stores
Article Summary
Massive Select offers rare comic covers directly to stores for their second anniversary.
Collected editions include works by David Mack, Toni Infante, and Sean Murphy.
Limited edition offerings feature foil, metal, and convention exclusive variants.
Massive Publishing paves new paths for collectors and local comic shops alike.
Don’t expect any new Massive/WhatNot/Sumerian books solicited for June 2024. Instead, they are doing something else for the month before San Diego Comic-Con. Massive Select, for their second anniversary, selling some of their exclusive, variant and premium covers of previously published titles direct to comic book retailers, without the tiers, qualifications or convention-exclusive nature. But with a price attached.
At Denver Fan Expo 2022, Massive launched the Whatnot Publishing line of books that saw their limited edition variant covers reach prices of over $1,200 a book on the secondary market. Massive Select is a new division within the company that will offer rare specialty products, including never-before-seen collaborations big comics names, Massive’s partners, and other publishers.
“Massive Select gives us the possibility to answer the LCS and fan’s demand, which I couldn’t be more excited by, There is no better feeling for a publisher than to be able to tell a comic creator: hey, your book is going back to local comic book shops with this EPIC new cover!” – Kevin Roditeli, President of Massive Publishing.
The initial offerings of Massive Select includes David Mack’s limited-edition cover for The Exiled featuring Wesley Snipes, a foil and metal edition of Toni Infante’s iconic Liquid Kill #1 cover, a black & white variant of Sean Murphy’s North ValleyGrimoire #1 variant cover, and more from Alpha Betas, Quested, Astrobots and more.
Massive Select will also provide opportunities to other publishers to partner on all-new project. But for now, here are their June 2024 solicits and solicitations.
