Terminal #1 cover guide
The publisher-listed covers
Image Comics lists the following cover letters and artists. The publisher page skips a labeled Cover J, so this guide does not invent one.
Blind bags explained
Most pulls are alternate covers, not different stories.
Skybound and Image said the blind bags could contain nearly all orderable Terminal #1 covers at different rarity levels, plus three exclusive surprise items. Reported early pulls identify advance-edition glimpses of future issues #2, #7, and #10.
