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

Posted on by Leave a comment

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.

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7 is an electrifying issue

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7

There is nothing like friends you can count on. Those are the ones close to you whose bongs are really tested. Those tests show how close you really are. We find our truest friends through trials. Not everyone in your life are individuals you can count on. Sometimes you’re the most reliable one in your life. In Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7, Marc assembles his friends for a new Midnight Sons!

The Midnight Sons make their presence known! With Moon Knight’s closest allies, the Midnight Mission, ensnared in the gullet of an interdimensional relative of their living headquarters, Marc calls on Clea, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Daredevil to form a new incarnation of Marvel’s occult operators.

Jed MacKay continues his epic Moon Knight run and has this new version of the classic team taking on the dragon Ginarr and Achilles Fairchild! It’s a solid issue that fans of the characters and the overall concept of the team will get excited for.

The art by Devmalya Pramanik with color with Rachelle Rosenberg and lettering by Cory Petit is amazing. The page layouts pop, it’s a comic where you linger to stare at every panel and every page.

Overall, Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7 is an electrifying issue. The story by Mackay is white-knuckle. The art by the creative team is spectacular. Altogether, it’s a story that shows why the Midnight Sons long deserves to be on the big screen.
