DC comics has really created a good niche for their variant covers that maintains the incentive for collectors but avoids the kind of speculative inflation that almost ruined comics in the 1990s. Instead of releasing a ton of high-priced variant covers, though there are those if you look, they release a theme of variant covers for all of their regular superhero books every month. Each month is a different theme, like Looney Tunes or the anniversary of a hero like Green Lantern or The Flash. This coming January, 2016, they have announced a new themed line-up: coloring book covers!
These covers are lined only, designed to look and act like a coloring book. These covers are available at the same cover price as the regular covers across twenty-five titles, so you can just get your monthly titles in the variant cover if you like it. Though few collectors will dare deface their books with a little ink, it may be fun to have your favorite artists color the covers instead of doing sketches.
We have collected all twenty-five titles for you below with each cover in the gallery with the corresponding comic title, artist who created it, and the issue number.
