Here are some additional covers for the Merciless #1 issue. These are SDCC exclusives and have limited print runs. All have the same back cover, except the gold foil, which has a gold foil version of the same cover. I’ll list the covers below, and put the two back covers at the bottom.
Except for one, all cover art is done by Alex Riegel. That one black and white is Raymond Gay. It should be obvious.
Also, most are homage covers to Absolute Batman #1.

They are also Primo Comics exclusives, but I don’t know how you list that. I’ll put a link to their website at the bottom.
Now the back covers. As I mentioned, all of them are the same, except the gold foil cover.
