The stakes are about get even higher as Phillips and series artist Lee Garbett lead the series into its milestone 700th issue this March!

The road begins with the debut of Latch this January in Daredevil #11, featuring guest artist Emilio Laiso. A dangerous new player in Hell’s Kitchen, Latch is poised to turn Daredevil’s world upside down!

Readers looking to jump on board can pick up Daredevil Vol. 1: Tomorrow’s Devil, collecting the first five issues of the series, when it arrives in stores this December.

Act 4 Publishing and Skybound Announce Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition

Posted on by Leave a comment

Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, in partnership with Skybound, have announced the upcoming release of Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition. A gorgeous, oversized presentation of Gene Colan’s acclaimed Marvel Comics work including several complete stories and a wide range of some of his most fondly remembered works, including Captain America, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Howard the Duck. This Artist’s Edition arrives in comic shops on April 7, 2027. 

Presented in a massive 12”x17” format and spanning 176 pages, this Artist’s Edition collects covers by Gene Colan as well as stories written by Stan Lee, Gerry Conway & Roy Thomas with all pencils done by Gene Colan and inks by Bill Everett, Tom Palmer, Joe Sinnott, and others. 

Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition will also present three complete stories: Captain America #137, Daredevil #63, and Tales of Suspense #97 featuring Iron Man. Gene Colan was one of the most prolific and popular Marvel artists of the 1960s and ‘70s. His distinctive and stylistic storytelling made him a fan favorite. As an added bonus, there will be two foldouts presenting four classic TWICE-UP oversized covers by Colan! 

An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. 

The first Gene Colan Artist’s Edition (which focused exclusively on Tomb of Dracula) curated by Scott Dunbier is long out of print and commands high prices in the aftermarket. With this new Artist’s Edition, fans should not miss out on what promises to be a stunning volume of this incredible artist! 

Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition (ISBN: Coming Soon| SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on April 7, 2027, and at booksellers on Tuesday, May 4, 2027.

Peach Momoko delivers a new vision for the Marvel Universe with Momo-Tone Variant Covers

Posted on by

Peach Momoko continues to redefine her artistry! This November, the visionary artist debuts Momo-Tone Variant Covers, an all-new variant collection that showcases a bold new technique for the best-selling cover artist. In these gorgeously painted pieces, Momoko utilized screentones, adhesive sheets traditionally used in manga to create dynamic shades of gray and dramatic shadows. The result is a striking collection of dramatic portraits of Marvel icons unlike anything Momoko has created before, while still remaining true to her unmistakable signature style! 

When I was in school, I always wanted to use screentones for my artwork, but they were too expensive for me to afford. Now I have the opportunity and decided to challenge myself by using screentones for these new Marvel covers.

But an obstacle emerged. How to color using watercolor paint on these screentones? So instead of painting on top of the screentones (risking the art warping), I tried and found that painting on the back of the canvas was very effective! It created a very clean, soft tone color palette that comes through the painting when light passes through from behind. I always enjoy these trial and error challenges and discovering the best methods of painting.

-Peach Momoko
