The epic collection will hit stands in three waves, with the first ten, featuring the color RED, debuting in February, followed by White and Blue waves in April and June. Each COLOR BLOCK VARIANT COVER will also be available as a virgin variant cover, ensuring Nakayama’s clean compositions can be enjoyed to the fullest!>Celebrate David Nakayama with COLOR BLOCK VARIANT COVERS>One of the industry’s most popular cover artists, Nakayama’s talent has graced nearly every corner of the Marvel Universe. Now, see his colorful take on various Marvel icons in a way that showcases his unique and exuberant style!>On what inspired the series, Nakayama shared “In 2021, I was looking for an eye-catching cover idea that would really stand out on the convention circuit and came up with an almost all-red Scarlet Witch cover. To my complete surprise and delight, it really took off, and I've since drawn many other covers with the same technique. But it's been a minute, and when Marvel asked about bringing these back, we decided to go BIG!”>“With this new collection of covers, I'm thrilled to play again with a bold, strategically-limited palette and a wide variety of characters I've never drawn this way before (or at all in some cases!),” he continued. “I hope you enjoy!”
>What If Spider-Man, Storm, Gambit… went full Punisher? Marvel’s darkest variant covers revealed>This February, new HELL’S KITCHEN VARIANT COVERS envision Marvel heroes in the dark world of Punisher.>The Punisher has always made the rest of the Marvel Universe uncomfortable with his no-mercy approach to justice, but what happens when other heroes take notes? This February, artist Ario Anindito (Star Wars: The High Republic) explores that unsettling idea with HELL’S KITCHEN VARIANT COVERS, imagining Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more adopting Frank Castle’s ruthless philosophy.>Timed to the launch of the new Punisher ongoing series by Benjamin Percy and José Luis Soares, the covers spotlight a grimmer Marvel landscape as Frank Castle wages a fresh war on organized crime while digging into the mystery of his missing memories.>Each piece gave Anindito room to rethink iconic costumes through a Punisher lens—swapping out the skull for hero-specific symbols while retaining the intimidation factor of Castle’s classic look.
>“I was really excited and honored when Marvel asked me to do the HELL’S KITCHEN cover program!” Anindito shared. “It’s such a cool chance to dive deeper into the characters and give them a darker vibe, designing a gritty look and adding a badass tactical goth-rocker twist. These characters are already iconic, so it’s definitely a challenge, but also really fun to do. I drew inspirations from re-reading the Punisher MAX series and re-watching the ’98 Blade movie. Let’s just say these HELL’S KITCHEN versions are the last ones you’d want to mess with!”

Today, Marvel revealed two major chapters arriving in March: WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON #2 and CAPTAIN AMERICA #8.>The event is spearheaded by writer Chip Zdarsky, who’s been planting crucial pieces inside his ongoing Captain America series with artists Valerio Schiti, Delio Diaz, and Frank Alpizar. Zdarsky is also teaming with Luca Maresca for Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon, a four-issue prelude spinning out of the newest developments in Captain America and Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion.>In WOLVERINE: WEAPONS OF ARMAGEDDON #2, the lead-up intensifies. Long-buried secrets tying together Wolverine, Nuke, and newcomer Dave Colton finally erupt, sending Logan’s pursuit of a vanished Super-Soldier into chaos.

Salvation is ready for a fight, and Cap’s own allies may not see eye-to-eye with his mission. As loyalties shift, Steve must decide how far he’ll go to free Latveria from Salvation’s rule.>The timing also aligns with February’s relaunch of Captain America, where issue #6 kicks off the debut of the ALL-NEW S.H.I.E.L.D.

any Carol covers?
>>151731677They can't, they know that if they give up on it DC might overtake the market share. That's why like 90% of their comics have at least one 1:25 or higher incentive cover, so that people order at least 25 or more copies to get that
>The Viltrumites are coming for Battle Beast in a blood-soaked new arc in March 2026>This new arc throws Battle Beast directly into the path of his deadliest opposition to date—with the Viltrum Empire now officially on the horizon.>Skybound and Image Comics have officially revealed the long-awaited return of Invincible Universe: Battle Beast with issue #7, launching an all-new story arc on March 18, 2026. The series reunites the original creative team, with writer Robert Kirkman, artist Ryan Ottley, colorist Annalisa Leoni, and letterer Rus Wooton all back for what’s being teased as the most brutal chapter yet.>This new arc throws Battle Beast directly into the path of his deadliest opposition to date—with the Viltrum Empire now officially on the horizon. According to Kirkman, the chaos seen in earlier issues was only the appetizer, with this storyline finally revealing how Battle Beast ended up imprisoned by the Viltrumites in the first place.>Ottley teased even more carnage ahead, hinting that Conquest’s name being dropped in issue #6 is no coincidence—and yes, that likely means Battle Beast vs. Conquest is coming. The issue will also feature a Todd McFarlane variant cover, adding even more hype to the release.>The timing is no accident. The comic lands during Skybound’s “Invincible Month” in March 2026, which aligns with the debut of season four of the hit Invincible animated series on Prime Video. Skybound is also gearing up for the release of the upcoming Invincible VS fighting game, making 2026 a massive year for the franchise.>Even in a universe ruled by powerhouses like Invincible and Omni-Man, Battle Beast remains obsessed with one thing: finding someone strong enough to kill him in combat. With the Viltrumites now in his path, that deadly wish may finally be granted.
Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 will ship with a main cover by Ryan Ottley and Annalisa Leoni, plus an expanded variant lineup including incentive covers by Chris Burnham, Rossi Gifford, Edwin Galmon, and a 1:100 foil by Matthew Roberts, along with the Todd McFarlane open-to-order variant.The full list of covers is below:Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover A by Ryan Ottley & Annalisa LeoniInvincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover B by Todd McFarlane & Annalisa LeoniInvincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover C (1:10 Connecting) by Chris Burnham & Brian ReberInvincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover D (1:25 Incentive) by Rossi GiffordInvincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover E (1:50 Incentive) by Edwin GalmonInvincible Universe: Battle Beast #7 Cover F (1:100 FOIL Incentive) by Matthew Roberts

>>151731639>>151731646>>151731663>>151731671>>151731682This feels like what someone would do to design for a "realistic" and "grounded" low-budget Marvel TV show, like imagine some showrunner taking influence from Christopher Nolan and the CW DC shows and having a limited budget so they ask someone to keep the costumes dark so they can film at night
>>151731582>>151731586>>151731594>>151731604Take a shot any time one of these ends up being red, blue, or yellow. You’ll be dead by cover 10

>>151731677Cool it with the antisemitic remarks.
>>151731646Yo even the lego version of Punisher came with a big fuck off gun as well as a pistol and you can't even have tactical combat vests/armor, or /k/ gear, or even guns? Like it would be redundant to give some of them guns but like not even big cartoony ones like Deadpool?You went for...goth rocker? Wtf?
>>151731586Nice
>>151731695Wonder just how many sales are unique people then if that is the case.
>>151731677Not possible with their current roster.
>>151731582>MOOOOOOOORE VARIANTSThis is the proof that comics are dead. They use variants to inflate sales.
>>151731582>>151731586>>151731594>>151731604These Red covers hurt to look at.
>>151731639At this point why not go all the way and use the symbiote suit instead of the red-and-blue
>>151731829tbqh I think CW would've done better with Marvel properties than Disney+
>>151738636I don't know. They still had Marc Guggenheim on there
