In 2011, with the launch of DC’s “NEW 52” reboot, they offered a poly-bagged “combo pack” that included the print copy along with a code to download the digital copy. These combo packs were more expensive, so readers were essentially paying an extra $1 for the digital copy. While they were not directly called a variant, they technically were as they offered different covers, titles and logo colors. However, the combo pack was considered an overall failure and were discontinued in the spring of 2015. By this time, most stores stopped ordering these and the print run became considerably small. Due to the dwindling numbers, these became quite collectible and rare for those end of run copies. Many of these are even considered to be even rarer than the rarest incentive variants. The end of run combo packs were Batman #40 / Detective Comics #40 / Green Lantern #40 / Justice League #40 / Superman #40/ Batman Superman #20 / Superman Wonder Woman #17/ Sandman Overture #5.

WHERE TO FIND DC COMBO VARIANTS:

Due to their lack of popularity, copies easily ended up in retailers back issues and dollar bins. Cheap copies can be found for the eagle-eyed collector! Of course, eBay is full of copies as well. However, popular issues that featured 1st appearances of new characters tend to go for premiums (i.e. Justice League #40 – First Grail, Batman #21 – First Duke Thomas aka The Signal, etc).

WHY YOU WANT IT:

Like Price Variants (see below), it took time for collectors to realize their rarity and therefore demand. These had all the markings of a future collector niche. As collectors find and tuck them away into collections, they will become harder and harder to find.

PRO TIP:

Like always, keep the search simple. Try using the title, issue number and the word “Combo”. It should provide the copies you’re looking for.
