Before New York City Comic Con kicks off on October 8, CBR News has an exclusive first look at the NYCC variants for a pair of Image Comics series: "The Legacy of Luther Strode" and "Spread."

Artist Ben Templesmith lends his talents to a limited edition 500 print run featuring No and Hope, protagonists of Justin Jordan, Kyle Strahm and Felipe Sobreiro's post-apocalyptic body horror series "Spread."

For the "Luther Strode"variant, artist Michael Adams and Sobreiro turn Jordan and Tradd Moore's unassuming-nerd-come-hero Luther into an action figure straight out of the "Masters of the Universe" line. Like Templesmith's "Spread" variant, this cover is also limited to 500 copies.

New York Comic Con runs Oct. 8-11 -- stay tuned to CBR News for all the announcements, surprises and more from the show!
