Luke of Luke's Toy Store sent along this press release, which, with the picture, pretty much tells you everything. As I am a lazy man, I copy and then I paste the release for you.
Luke’s Toy Store gets exclusive Battle Beasts #1 cover
Luke’s
Toy Store will be getting an exclusive variant cover of the new Battle
Beasts #1 comic by IDW Publishing. This cover features new artwork by
Valerio Schiti, and is limited to only 800 copies. While Luke’s Toy
Store normally focuses on block figures such as Minimates, their
customers’ high demand for this issue allowed an exclusive edition to be
created. The Battle Beasts series is written by Bobby Curnow (Godzilla Legends, Night of 1000 Wolves) and penciled by Valerio Schiti (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Donatello, Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron).
It focuses on a group of renegade Beasts who return to Earth to protect
the ultimate weapon (and the human who activated it) from an armada of
their violent brethren.
On July 15th, IDW will launch the series
with issue #1, and the first full wave of Battle Beasts Minimates will
be revealed, which will be at Luke’s Toy Store in late fall of 2012! The
first wave of two-packs will focus heavily on characters who appear in
the comic, and will have a gameplay element, as well.
Battle Beasts #1 Luke’s Toy Store Exclusive Edition ($3.99, 32 pages, full color) can be preordered here: http://lukestoystore.com/
