What belongs in a Spider-Verse curation brief
A usable brief names the run, the city, and the covers you actually want to read — not a shopping list of every variant ever printed.

These pieces stay with the work of the desk: briefs, limitation, reading, Bangkok nights, and cover notes. They are not general collecting pep talks.
A usable brief names the run, the city, and the covers you actually want to read — not a shopping list of every variant ever printed.
Limitation is a production decision: edition size, cover variants, and a cut-off for late requests. It is not a countdown clock.
Collectors who stay with a drop tend to care about lettering, gutter width, and who inked the rain over Brooklyn — not about a chart.
We hang cover boards, print edition cards, and leave enough table space for people to sit with a single issue before they ask for another.
Each bound edition ships with a one-page note on the opening splash, the color hold, and why a particular variant sits first in the sequence.
