Comics Collectibles: Choose Between Blind Bags, a Picked Cover, and Terminal #1

Choose by format first: this group ranges from a Terminal #1 Cover A to a five-bag Terminal lot, plus two distinct Queen in Black #1 cover approaches.

Last updated Aug 1, 2026

Choosing comics collectibles can mean deciding between the surprise of a blind bag, the clarity of a named cover, and the appeal of building around a particular issue. These four choices split neatly across those priorities: a Terminal #1 Cover A, a Terminal blind-bag lot with an incentive variant, and two Queen in Black #1 options with very different cover-selection approaches.

Quick take

Start with format rather than trying to compare these comics as interchangeable single issues. Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM is the straightforward choice for a named Terminal cover. TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT is the group-format option, centered on five blind bags and an incentive variant. For Queen in Black #1, the swimsuit-variant blind bag exclusive emphasizes that particular cover theme, while Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover is for collectors who want the title's stated cover-selection option.

Listed price comparison

The listed prices span a wide range, reflecting the difference between a single named cover, a specialized variant, a multi-bag lot, and a selected Queen in Black cover.

Product notes

TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT

Collectors who want a Terminal-focused group rather than one individually named cover have the clearest match here. The title specifies a lot of five unopened Terminal #1 blind bags plus a 1:25 incentive variant, and the listed price is USD 31.00. It is a Brand New, English-language Modern Age Issue #1 from Image Comics, with Robert Kirkman named as artist/writer and a 2026 publication year. That makes it the multi-comic choice in this comparison. Its trade-off is format: this is an unopened blind-bag lot, whereas the Queen in Black pick-your-cover option is expressly framed around selecting a cover.

QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA PRE-SALE 7/29

This Queen in Black #1 is the focused choice for someone drawn specifically to the swimsuit-variant wording in the title. At USD 14.99, it sits between the named Terminal Cover A and the multi-bag Terminal lot. It is identified as a Brand New English Modern Age single issue in the superheroes genre, and David Nakayama is named in the title. The blind bag exclusive framing is central to its identity, so it suits a collector who wants that particular variant concept. The limitation is equally specific: shoppers whose main goal is selecting a Queen in Black cover should look instead to the option whose title says "Pick Your Cover."

Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover

The key advantage here is stated plainly in the name: Pick Your Cover gives Queen in Black #1 collectors a cover-selection route within the blind bag exclusives theme. Listed at USD 55.19, it carries the highest price in this group. It is a Brand New, boarded, English Modern Age Marvel single issue, giving it a clearly defined presentation alongside the cover-choice wording. Choose it when the identity of the cover matters more than buying an unopened blind-bag format. The counterweight is its position at the top of the listed price range, so it makes the most sense for a collector prioritizing the selected-cover feature over the lower-priced individual issue options.

Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM

For a direct entry into Terminal #1, this is the clearest pick: it is a named Cover A with a connecting wraparound and mature designation in the title. Its USD 4.25 listed price is the lowest in this comparison. The comic is identified as Brand New, with Image Comics named and Dave McCaig listed as cover artist; the title also names Andy Kubert and Dave McCaig. This is the choice for collectors who want a specific Terminal cover rather than a blind-bag theme. Its narrower focus is also its limitation: it centers on the Cover A connecting wraparound, while the other Terminal listing explicitly offers five blind bags plus a 1:25 incentive variant.

Final recommendation by use case

Choose Terminal #1 Cover A Andy Kubert & Dave Mccaig Connecting Wraparound (Mature) NM for a single named Terminal #1 cover with the connecting-wraparound detail. Choose TERMINAL 1 BLIND BAG (UNOPEN) LOT OF 5 PLUS 1:25 INCENTIVE VARIANT when a five-bag Terminal grouping and incentive-variant wording are the draw. For Queen in Black #1, select the Swimsuit Var David Nakayama title when that variant theme is your priority, or choose Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover when cover selection is the deciding feature.
