Marvel continues its corner box variant covers with Mark Brooks. Take the jump for a look at the Avengers and X-Men covers arriving in August 2023.
For this duo [of covers], Brooks spotlights some notable roster shakeups from the ‘80s by featuring fan-favorite members such as Sersi and Black Knight on the AVENGERS #4 CORNER BOX VARIANT COVER and Dazzler and Longshot on the X-MEN #25 VARIANT COVER. On these stunning covers, Brooks also depicts mainstays like Vision, Black Widow, and Magneto as well as Kitty Pryde during her classic era as Shadowcat! Amidst the dark times of FALL OF X, the character will taking on that codename once more starting in this very issue!
“There are many reasons why I was attracted to comics as a kid and the corner box was a big part of it,” Brooks explained in a press release from Marvel Comics. “I knew what issue number and who I could expect to see in the issue. It was a little preview to tantalize the reader. It was always heads, a full figure, or a micro-scene. No matter what, it enticed me to pick the book up. It’s why I started the #LetMarkCornerbox campaign in earnest on Twitter. It was primarily a joke to express my love for the corner box. It ended up taking on a bit of a life of its own. When C.B. told me that they’d like this to become a reality, I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve penciled well over 100 heads so far. I don’t plan on stopping until Marvel says ‘okay, that’s enough’- LOL!”
X-Men #25 and Avengers #4 arrives on August 9, 2023.
