New Mutants has long been a favorite corner of the X-Men universe for collectors who chase exclusive and variant covers rather than just reading copies. The series has attracted a steady stream of retailer-exclusive artwork over the years, with shops like Unknown Comics commissioning specific artists to put their own spin on key issues, making certain covers highly sought by collectors who track particular illustrators.
This collection gathers a run of New Mutants exclusives and variants, including New Mutants #2 with a Mico Suayan Dawn of X exclusive, and multiple takes on New Mutants #25 from Miguel Mercado and Derrick Chew, covering virgin, vogue, and color splash convention editions. Rounding out the group is Exquisite Corpses #12, an Alan Quah virgin cover paying homage to New Mutants #98. Buyers should compare artist, issue number, and variant type carefully, since each cover offers a distinct visual take on the same characters.
