Joining the Heroes in Crisis team of Tom King and Clay Mann are artists J.G. Jones, Mark Brooks and Francesco Mattina, who will be providing chase variants for issue #1, and Ryan Sook, who will be providing themed open-to-order variant covers for all seven issues of the series.
Following Sook's depiction of the death of Superman on the cover of issue one, Sook’s subsequent Heroes in Crisis variants will focus on Batman's back being broken by Bane for issue two, Wonder Woman killing Maxwell Lord for issue three, Aquaman losing his hand for issue four, Jason Todd's death for issue five and Hal Jordan killing Kilowog for issue six. Issue seven features a special yet-to-be-announced Harley Quinn moment. All of the Sook variants will feature a spot varnish treatment to give a photo-finish shine to each case file snapshot.
Heroes in Crisis #1 is scheduled to be released on 9/26 with a standard cover by Clay Mann & Tomeu Morey as well as all four variant covers:
Heroes in Crisis #1 – 1:50 variant by J.G. Jones
Heroes in Crisis #1 – 1:100 variant by Mark Brooks
Heroes in Crisis #1 – 1:200 variant by Francesco Mattina
Heroes in Crisis #1 – "Open Order" Variant by Ryan Sook
