Ssalefish GSO First Look #162 for 6.10.20

With Batman #92 hitting next week, I wanted to reiterate a couple of points.

The three covers above are the only three editions of Batman #92 available for general sale, the full trade dress Yasmin Putri “A” cover, the Stanley “Artgerm” Lau cardstock “B” cover, and the 1 for every 25 copies ordered Jorge Jimenez “Punchline” variant. Anything else you see online is exclusive to another store and you’ll have to order them directly from those retailers.

DC new releases are available on Tuesdays now! You don’t have to wait until Wednesday to get Batman #92! Barring a cataclysmic event that affects both Old Dominion & UPS, we’ll have the biggest book of the year ready to go when we open at 11 AM on Tuesday, June 9th!

There is NO LIMIT on the number of copies you’d like to get on either of the open-order covers! Buy one for your kids, your parents, you buddies, one to read and one to put away, whatever you want!

Making good on the statement from two weeks ago, here’s a song originally recording in the last 15 years!
