Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest entry, grab the Standard version for $1. The higher-priced Standard versions ($2, $3, $4) and the Variant ($5) offer minor differences, likely in printing or minor condition nuances, rather than significant edition changes. If you just want the comic, buy the $1 Standard. Pay up for the Variant or higher Standards only if collecting specific print runs or condition tiers is your goal; otherwise, save your money.
