<blockquote>AP Comics has announced that it will be offering two new covers for Monster Club #2 as well as a back five page back-up story from hot new find, Eduardo Francisco.
The two variant covers will be offered to retailers as initial/re-order incentives – and available whilst stocks last. The Skottie (Spider-man: Legend of the Spider-Clan) Young cover will ship as a 1:5 alternate with the Eduardo Francisco cover shipping as a 1:10 incentive.
Richard Emms, AP Comics' director says, "Monster Club #1 did extremely well for us". "In fact we were very surprised by how many copies were actually sold through Diamond, Bulldog and Cold Cut (distributors)". "Our aim, ultimately, is to provide great looking comics as well as announcing brand new talent that will be working with us on up and coming projects”. “Eduardo is an amazing artist and fans of Americanized Manga will love his style". "Mix Joe Mad with Adam Warren and that's Eduardo! – Simply breathtaking!!!”
"We're also really pleased to be working with Skottie Young again". "Skottie has agreed to do covers for Monster Club #2, 3, 4 and 5". "The cover he has masterly crafted for issue #2 is stunning - any comic fan will find it hard to turn it down!”</blockquote>
