8FOLD/PROMO: Variant Covers

[Tom Russell]

COVER # 1

Towering skyscrapers loom in the night, thick blocks of concrete and
steel stretching into the blackness. A thin red line of light runs
straight up the side of one building before ending in a tiny circle:
the insignia of the insidious body-terror group FEVER. A lone figure
stands on one of the rooftops, silhouetted by the blaring white light
of a huge, heavy, full moon.
   EIGHTFOLD PROUDLY PRESENTS
  THE FINAL ISSUE OF JOLT CITY


COVER # 2

Derek and Martin stand at the vanguard of an army, each of them
bearing a sword and a small circular shield. Green tentacles inch
ever-closer to the terrified men.
   "Gee-whiz, GK!" exclaims Derek. "With Alfred the Great on our side,
we may have stood a chance against the Viking hordes of Bagsac and
Halfdan! But what are the Dyzen'thari doing in ninth-century Wessex?!"
   WHO WILL BE... MASTERS OF THE FIELD?!


COVER # 3

One Blue Boxer hangs suspended in the air, floating in nothingness. A
second does the same. And a third. And a fourth: an ocean of blue, a
thousand-thousand tiny variations on a theme.
   YOU THOUGHT ONE BLUE BOXER WAS BAD ENOUGH!
   IT'S... THE CRISIS OF INFINITE DEREKS!


COVER # 4

Bethany (Knockout Mouse) Clayton holds up her Singularity Gauntlet,
gleaming with power!
   Kate (Dr. Metronome) Morgan phases out of synch with reality,
flooding all of the surroundings with a strange pulse!
   Tracking this all with interest on her digital notepad is Dr. Fay Tarif!
   THREE SMART GIRLS SAVE THE UNIVERSE!


COVER # 5

Like a ghost, the original Green Knight looms in the sky. Beneath him,
but still looming and still ghostly, is his successor, Martin Rock--
to his left and right, visions of his past as the Acro-Bat and the
mask with no name.
   Corporeal, and feeling the strain of all that hangs above him, is
Derek Mason, the Blue Boxer.
   THE END OF AN ERA!


COVER # 6

Whiteness, pure and simple whiteness. No logo, no indicia, just white.
But if you look a little closer, you'll see a tiny crack die-cut in
the center of the cover, caused by a green and slithering Dyzen'thari
tentacle. There's a flash of red and white on the other side, barely
visible through the crack. Turn the cover!
   On the inner cover, there is an explosion of color! Red Hart
battles the Never-Lord Sedenion! Darkhorse III races forward! Kaiju
duke it out over the ruins of Las Vegas, an intergalactic fleet floats
through black space, and a group of mancers runs for the safety of the
shadows...!
   THE NEW ERA OF EIGHTFOLD BEGINS NOW!


COVER # 7

Pam Bierce lies on her desk, on her left side, holding the side of her
head in her left hand, propped up on her left elbow. She wears a white
blouse, almost translucent against her rich brown skin. It's clear
that she's not wearing a brassiere, and clear from her wicked smile
that this is very much on purpose. Her skintight jeans also leave
little to the imagination. Her right arm lays along her right side,
hugging her shapely waist, and in her right hand she lazily clutches
her pistol.
   No caption is necessary.


COVER # 8

Dani Handler stands in front of her sister's house in a long jacket.
She holds an umbrella and stands, smiling slightly, as the rain pours
down in sheets.
