BRZRKR: The Bleeding Tide #1F — Rebeca Puebla 1:10 Ratio Variant (WK48)

A 1:10 retailer incentive variant on the launch issue of BRZRKR: The Bleeding Tide — Cover F in the issue's variant lineup, with cover art by Rebeca Puebla. Ratio variants are naturally scarce: retailers had to order ten standard editions to qualify for one copy of this variant, so the print volume is locked to standard-edition order pull rather than open market demand.

The book sits inside the wider BRZRKR universe — Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt and Ron Garney's brutalist immortal-warrior series that launched in 2021 with one of the largest comic Kickstarter campaigns ever and has expanded through ongoing miniseries, novels and active Netflix adaptations.

Single-cover entry point at a lower price than the matched foil + virgin set — for collectors who want one Bleeding Tide #1 cover rather than the bundled pair. Brand-new, raw Near Mint, bagged and boarded.

Why It Matters

  • star 1:10 ratio scarcity by mechanic. Print volume is bound to the standard edition's order pull at a 1:01 ratio. The supply is structurally capped — not by a marketing decision, but by the distribution model itself.
  • star Universe-expansion launch issue. The Bleeding Tide is a recent BRZRKR mini-series within the broader expanding continuity. First-issue ratios on universe-expansion launches are a defined collector slot — particularly on a property where Keanu Reeves is co-creator.
  • star Rebeca Puebla cover. Spanish illustrator known for ethereal, painterly figure work — a stylistic counterpoint to BRZRKR's brutalist combat aesthetic that gives this cover its own clear identity within the issue's variant lineup.
  • star Lower entry tier than the set. For collectors after a single Bleeding Tide #1 variant — rather than the bundled foil + virgin set — this 1:10 ratio at £10 is the cleanest single-cover pickup in the issue's variant lineup.
  • star Reeves IP weight. BRZRKR launched 2021 with a $1.4M+ Kickstarter and has been in continuous transmedia expansion since — comics, novels, Netflix live-action film and anime in development with Reeves attached.
  • star Slab-ready. Brand-new raw NM, bagged and boarded. Ratios in 9.8 NM/MT sit naturally in BRZRKR collection portfolios.

Creators

Cover Artist
Rebeca Puebla
BRZRKR Co-Creators
Reeves · Kindt · Garney

Rebeca Puebla is a Spanish digital illustrator with a recognisable painterly style — ethereal lighting, soft figure modelling and atmospheric colour staging. Her variant cover work runs across multiple modern publishers and tends to appear in the higher cover-letter tiers (D, E, F) where the issue's variant lineup widens out beyond the main cover artists.

BRZRKR was co-created by Keanu Reeves, Matt Kindt and Ron Garney for BOOM! Studios in 2021. The 12-issue main series introduced "B.", an immortal half-mortal warrior, and launched a wider continuity that has since expanded through multiple miniseries, original novels, and active Netflix adaptations with Reeves attached to star.

Collector Notes

Ratio incentive variants — typically 1:10, 1:25, 1:50, 1:100 — are a foundational scarcity mechanism in modern variant collecting. Unlike capped-print store exclusives, ratio variants don't have a fixed print number; their volume scales with the standard edition's retailer order pull. Strong launches generate higher ratio supply; weaker launches produce sharper scarcity.

1:10 ratios sit at the entry tier of incentive collecting — wider than 1:25 or 1:50 ratios, but materially scarcer than direct editions or open-order variants. On a Reeves-IP universe-expansion launch, even the entry-tier ratio carries collector signal, particularly when sourced clean and bagged at NM grade.

Companion piece to the matched foil + virgin Ltd 250 set — collectors building Bleeding Tide #1 variant runs typically pair the ratio with the set, or pick up just one cover at the lower entry point. Both routes work; the choice is about depth of position rather than missing books.

What does "1:10 ratio" actually mean? add

It's a retailer incentive: comic shops had to order 10 standard editions of BRZRKR: The Bleeding Tide #1 to qualify for 1 copy of this variant cover. The variant's print volume is therefore tied to the standard edition's order pull rather than an arbitrary print number — which structurally caps supply at one-tenth of standard direct-edition volume.

What does "1F" mean? add

"1F" denotes Issue #1, Cover F. Most modern issues with multiple variants label them by letter — A is the main cover, B/C/D progress through additional artists, and higher letters (E, F, G+) typically sit in the ratio incentive tiers. Cover F on this issue is the Rebeca Puebla 1:10.

What does "WK48" mean? add

WK48 is the Diamond Comic Distributors weekly release code — Week 48 of the publication year. Distribution codes help retailers and collectors identify exactly which week a book hit shelves, which is sometimes used for variant disambiguation when an issue has multiple printing waves.

How is this different from the foil + virgin set? add

The foil + virgin set is a two-book bundle capped at 250 sets worldwide, exclusive to the Collector Cartel × Frostymug release. This 1:10 ratio is a single-cover retailer incentive variant by Rebeca Puebla, distributed through standard Diamond order channels. Different scarcity mechanics, different formats, different price points — both are legitimate Bleeding Tide #1 collector positions.

How scarce is 1:10 vs 1:25 or 1:50? add

1:10 is the entry tier of ratio variants — more accessible than 1:25 (which requires 25 standard orders) or 1:50 (50 standard). On a strong launch with high standard-edition pull, 1:10 ratios are still printed in the low thousands; on softer launches they tighten quickly. Pricing reflects that — 1:10s are usually the most affordable ratio entry on a given issue.

Can I have it CGC graded? add

Yes. CGC submission with optional pre-screen handling at checkout. Ratio variants in 9.8 NM/MT sit naturally in BRZRKR collection portfolios. Final grade is never guaranteed by any seller.

How is it shipped? add

Bag, board, rigid mailer, insured tracked courier. Same packaging standard we use on slabs. Dispatched daily from Canterbury, Kent — UK orders typically arrive next-working-day.
