Marvel Reveals New ‘Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals’ Covers
by Tony Thornley
The Marvel Swimsuit Special is one of the most legendary artifacts of the nineties. On July 9, it returns with Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals.
With a connecting story from Tim Seeley, Tony Fleecs, and Nick Bradshaw, the massive special includes work from comics superstars Mirka Andolfo, Mahmud Asrar, Joshua Cassara, Nic Klein, Aaron Kuder, Ron Lim, David Marquez, Marguerite Sauvage, Luciano Vecchio, and Ryusei Yamada. Plus, the issue will include design sheets for new costumes coming soon to the Marvel Rivals, the ultra popular multiplayer video game from Marvel Games and NetEase Games, and come with a bonus digital redeem code for “The Unlimited Thing” skin for use in the game!
From Marvel’s official solicitation:
Roxxon Comics is at it again when they release their own unauthorized swimsuit special!
Wasp is on the case and seizes the opportunity for Marvel’s heroes to do their own swimwear fashion shoot all over the world! But fear not, True Believers, we know what you’re really here for! This super-sized special features splash page after splash page of gorgeous art, but with a story so you can pretend you’re “reading it for the articles”…
(Side note, I love that Seeley and Fleecs are bringing back Al Ewing’s Roxxon Comics concept for this.)
Check out all the covers for the special from Adam Hughes, Mark Brooks, Taurin Clarke, Russell Dauterman, Terry Dodson, Pablo Villalobos, and Lucas Werneck!
Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals is available July 9th from Marvel Comics.
