WithDeadpool & Wolverineset to be this summer’s hottest movie ticket,Marvel Comicsis wasting no time in pairing up the wisecracking Merc with a Mouth with the surly X-Man for a slew of amazing newStormbreaker Initiativecovers.
The Stormbreaker Initiative is a program, launched in 2020, that highlights eight hand-picked artists from around the world who will be at the forefront of the publisher’s artistic endeavors for the next year. The current class of 2023 (2024’s has yet to be announced) includes: Chris Allen, Jan Bazaldua, Elena Casagrande, Martin Coccolo, Nic Klein, Federico Vicentini, C.F. Villa, and Lucas Werneck.
Of the new covers, we’re particularly fond of Lucas Werneck’s variant for Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII #3, which shows Wade Wilson sneak a selfie with a sleepingLogan, and Nic Klein’s Heir of Apocalypse #3 cover depicting Wolverine about to take a much faster skydive than he anticipated. They’re a really fun set of covers and you can check them all out in the gallery below.
Here are the release dates for the variant covers.
