Comic Description
Written by Kevin Smith and Eric Carrasco, this issue reimagines the origin story of Bizarro, the imperfect clone of Superman.

Condition Details
The comic appears to be brand new in its original bag and board. There is a slight visible wave in the bag that may indicate a minor corner bend on the top right, but the spine and edges appear sharp. No visible color-breaking creases or spine ticks in the current photo.
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $4.99 - $8.00 | Graded (9.8): $35.00 - $50.00
Recent Sales
As this is a very recent release (late 2024/early 2025), sales are primarily at retail MSRP ($4.99). Secondary market prices currently reflect cover price plus shipping.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless for personal collection. As a modern common comic without a confirmed first appearance of a major new character, the cost of grading will likely exceed the current market value of the book.
Notable Features
First issue of the miniseries; written by filmmaker Kevin Smith; features stylized art by Nick Pitarra; contains the 'Not-so-secret origin' of Bizarro.
