Variant Edition

Located in the heart of Edmonton, Variant Edition provides a comic shop experience unlike any other, perfect for those looking to discover or rediscover the joys of sequential storytelling. We pride ourselves on our inclusive environment and innovative recommendation system, which will help you find books you didn’t even know you loved.

No need to keep track of when your favourite books are coming out – Variant Edition will keep a list of your favourite titles on file, and put them aside for you when they come out! This applies to anything in the shop, whether you’re into single issues, collected editions or graphic novels! And even better, you get a discount on everything you have on file!

Live too far from the store? Have transportation issues, or low mobility? We can still get you comics. Variant Edition is the only store in Edmonton that offers delivery straight to your door at a fraction of the price for mail order. Get comics delivered for as little as $2 a shipment – or if you have proof of disability, for free!

We want to be your comic book store, no matter where you are. That’s why we offer a mail order service, to get comics into your hands, when you want them. Currently, we send items out through Canada Post, using their rates of service, upon request or by monthly schedule.

We will pair you with a comic or graphic novel that you are sure to love. Our pop culture specialists will ask you a couple of questions and soon, you’ll have a new favourite series!
