So, the day finally hit us last week. Marvel’s mega-event, meant to destroy continuity and universes is at hand. With a couple dozens of tie-ins, an eight issue main miniseries, and an effect on every Marvel universe book, this is the crisis to end all. And just as with other Marvel events, this is going to be a massive cash-cow and they are going to milk the first issue in the best way possible: multiple variant covers! Some of these are standard for the Marvel first-issue run(Skottie Young Baby Variant Cover anyone?), and some are interesting promotional one that will prove hard to find.
Have fun trying to collect all the variant covers of your favorite books? The below gallery has all currently available Secret Wars #1 variant covers, though there will likely be later ones released for promotional events, conventions, and other limited releases. All of the covers below show the name of the cover with the artist who did it.
