Quick verdict
Choosing between these two *Queen in Black #1* comics collectibles comes down to how much control you want over the cover. Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover is the better match for a collector who wants to select a particular blind-bag exclusive rather than receive a random result. QUEEN IN BLACK #1 BLIND BAG EXCLUSIVE SWIMSUIT VAR DAVID NAKAYAMA PRE-SALE 7/29 is the focused alternative for someone specifically drawn to the David Nakayama swimsuit variant.
The listed-price spread is $40.20. Both choices are Brand New, English-language Modern Age single issues from the United States, so the meaningful decision is cover preference and how each comic is presented.
At-a-glance comparison

|---|---|---|---|
| Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover | USD 55.19 | Selected blind-bag exclusive cover; boarded | Brand New, Modern Age, single issue, English |

Where each comic wins
Pick Your Cover wins for cover-specific collecting. Its description directly frames the choice around selecting the blind-bag exclusive you want, with the cover removed from the blind bag. That is the clearest fit when a particular cover matters more than blind-bag mystery. It also carries the listed Boarded feature, a useful presentation detail for a single-issue comic.
The Nakayama Swimsuit Variant wins for a named variant focus. The title identifies both the swimsuit variant and David Nakayama, making the cover theme immediately clear. It also has the lower listed price in this two-comic comparison and is classified as a superhero issue for a general audience.
Product notes
Queen in Black #1 - Pick Your Cover
This choice is built for the collector who wants an identified blind-bag exclusive cover instead of leaving the result to chance. The description says you can select the cover you want, and it explains that these exclusive covers have been removed from the blind bag. Beyond the cover-selection angle, it is a Brand New, boarded Marvel single issue in English from the Modern Age. The story setup places Knull, Hela, and deadly symbiotes in a cosmic conflict, with the Son of Venom caught between them. Choose this edition when specific-cover control is the main goal. Its limitation is its position as the higher-listed choice, and its removed-from-bag presentation will matter to collectors who prioritize blind-bag packaging itself.
Queen in Black #1 - David Nakayama Swimsuit Variant
The David Nakayama swimsuit variant offers a more narrowly defined cover choice: its title names the variant style and Nakayama, while its attributes identify it as Issue #1 in the superheroes genre. It is also a Brand New English-language Modern Age single issue intended for a general audience. The description shares the same cosmic stakes involving Knull, Hela, symbiotes, and the Son of Venom, so the decision is principally about the edition rather than a different premise. Pick this comic when the swimsuit-variant concept is the draw or when the lower listed price is decisive. The tradeoff is that it is framed as one named swimsuit variant, while the other comic is explicitly presented as a Pick Your Cover blind-bag-exclusive selection.
Final choice by use case
- Want a particular blind-bag exclusive cover: Choose Queen in Black #1 - Blind Bag Exclusives - Pick Your Cover for its explicit select-your-cover approach and boarded feature.
