This is it. These are the last two Kickstarter Variant edition covers featuring the full 48 page version of White Widow #1. These two spectacular pieces feature PAINTED covers by none other than Mike Debalfo! Both versions will be limited to the numbers ordered.
The "SUITED UP" version can be added to any pledge level by increasing your pledge by only $20.00. It features a Holographic Foil Logo.
We also have a "Virgin Naughty" version that has no logos of any kind. This version can be added for only $30.00 to ANY pledge level.
You can increase your pledges now and make the proper selection in Backer Kit.
These are the final days, but we felt this cover was too good to miss. We hope you think so too!
AMPED #1 - White Widow Variant Edition

As promised, here's another of the ABSOLUTE COMICS "White Widow Variant" editions. This time, it's AMPED #1 painted cover with artwork by Jamie Tyndall! All of these will be White Widow Variants due to an easter egg of our lovely lady-in-white somewhere in each.
This (and all six of the Absolute #1s) will be in the Absolute Digital Bundle (which anyone with $50+ pledged OR the Absolute Digital tier).
You can get this as a physical comic with a $10 over-pledge.
AMPED (like all of these) will cross over with White Widow in a major way in the future.
There are 4 more covers being painted right now. All pencils are done and turned into various painting teams. So we will post them as they become available.
MANY people are asking if the other variant covers of the Absolute Comics will be available to purchase as well. Due to so much demand, we have decided that we will give that option in BACKER KIT for any who want them.
All of your continued support warms our hearts. We are fast approaching our next push goal as well. So fingers crossed we can continue to reach these milestones and unlock more and more cool stuff!

As promised yesterday, here's the completed Duel Identity #1 painted cover with artwork by Jamie Tyndall! All of these will be White Widow Variants due to an easter egg of our lovely lady-in-white somewhere in each.
This (and all six of the Absolute #1s) will be in the Absolute Digital Bundle (which anyone with $50+ pledged OR the Absolute Digital tier) will receive PLUS the physical copies are available as a $10 over-pledge!
Duel Identity (like all of these) will cross over with White Widow in a major way.
Later today we will also be unveiling some other cool stuff. And the AMPED cover will be revealed later tonight. This is the home stretch so we have a LOT to share at the last minute.
Push Goal #9 Unlocked and revealed!

WE DID IT! You guys are SO awesome. It continues to make us so happy to have your support. Now we get to reveal what we've been working on (with fingers crossed that we'd get here). Please bear with us, because this is a BIG update. We promise it's worth it.
This is a true surprise we came up with that we think you will all really enjoy. As we stated White Widow crosses over with the entire ABSOLUTE COMICS UNIVERSE, and she is, in fact, what we internally call the "glue" title that will bring them all together in many ways. For instance (tiny SPOILER) her parents work for THE GROUP that is the same organization behind DUEL IDENTITY.
All six of the titles in the "Absolute Comics" Digital bundle are literally at the printer now, and we thought... "STOP THE PRESSES!" Let's have Jamie really do something super cool! So this tier unlocks him doing a VARIANT COVER for ALL SIX titles: AMPED #1, Darchon #1, Duel Identity #1, Katrina #1, Wayward Legends #1 and Wayward Sons #1!
To add to what makes this special, each of these books will be FULLY PAINTED and have a holographic foil logo! But what's really cool is White Widow's silhouette will make a small cameo on each cover... making these what we call the "WHITE WIDOW VARIANT" edition covers!
Obviously we did not begin this until a few days ago when we saw we would reach this tier, but we should have the first covers this weekend from the painter. Below is the linework and base shading used by the painter for one of the covers, mocked up to illustrate an approximation. We will, of course, update everyone as these covers are completed... hopefully this week before the campaign ends all will be done.
And that's just the beginning. The "White Widow Variants" will now become the official covers for the ABSOLUTE DIGITAL EDITION comics. And they will ONLY be the covers for our backers who get this deal!
But what if you're not on a reward tier that includes the ABSOLUTE DIGITAL BUNDLE?
We've decided as ANOTHER perk of this push goal that EVERY PLEDGE OF $50 OR MORE (INCLUDING ADD ONS) WILL NOW INCLUDE THE ABSOLUTE DIGITAL BUNDLE!!!!
That's most everyone now who will receive SIX #1 issues featuring these amazing digital comics and Jamie's phenomenal covers.
Add to this (yes like the infomercials say... there's more) we DID stop the presses for these covers. So you can now get the #1 issues of each of these as ADD ONS for only $10 each! Simply up your pledge $10 per title and you'll get the LIMITED EDITION WHITE WIDOW VARIANTS!
There are SIX in total (so you would add $10 for one title, $20 for two, $60 for all 6, etc), and there are descriptions at the bottom of the CAMPAIGN tab for each of these comics. They absolutely tie into White Widow, so they're great collectors items that now have an even greater collectible aspect with this amazing artwork! Don't worry, you'll be able to select specifically which titles you want in BACKER KIT at the end of this campaign.
As we said, this is a HUGE surprise and we hope you're as excited by this as we are.
NEXT UP - When we reach $60k the third holo-foil collector card artwork gets revealed and you will receive a THIRD card for your collection. Yes these are still random, but that will mean everyone gets HALF of the set. This is the LAST WEEK of the Kickstarter. We'd love to reach the point where everyone gets ALL SIX. So please help spread the word. If we reach $100k (it's possible) you will be absolutely floored by everything we will add in. But we need your help to get there!
Push Goal #8 Unlocked and revealed!

And then there was one more... We now can reveal the second card in the 6-card Holo-Foil set! It features artwork by Jamie Tyndall, of course, and is from the homage "bagged" comic. However, the background, not the webs are foil in this one, creating a very unique and cool image!
Remember, the cards are RANDOMLY INSERTED in people's packages that we send out, so you may not get this particular card! However, the odds just doubled, given that you now get TWO cards out of the SIX.
If we get high enough, you could unlock and receive ALL SIX, but we need your help in spreading the word to friends, family, collectors and everyone to get there. If we do, then everyone wins!
NEXT UP - A special surprise we've been planning if we reach $55,000... SIX new painted covers become available by Jamie Tyndall. There's a huge reveal here as its not what you expect. Sooner we get there, the sooner we can unveil this super cool surprise.
