Leguizamo himself, will hand-sign each 1:250 copy incentive variant of PhenomX #1 which will feature cover art by legendary artist Todd McFarlane.
Additionally, a PhenomX #1 1:10 copy incentive black and white version of cover A by Jim Muñiz will be available.

A multiple Emmy and Tony award winning actor and a Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominee, Leguizamo is considered the most prolific modern playwright on Broadway with six successful shows.
