Image And The Hero Initiative Bring Us Seasonal Variants This Winter
by Olly MacNamee
One again Image Comics are teaming up with the Hero Initiative non-profit, which helps fund comic book creators in medical and financial need, for another charitable initiative. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised by these Hero Initiative variant covers will go toward supporting the non-profit. This time, the covers have a very seasonal theme to them as they celebrate the Holiday season.
They’ve just released the first 13 covers of this new campaign and we wanted to share them with you so, if you are following a particular Image series, you can order your variant cover now and not miss out on supporting this cause. They’ll be rolled out over December, with FOC in November, so you’ve got time.
