Marvel Comics has revealed Alex Ross is up to more beautiful work, and this time it’s a villain group shot. Last year it was the hero’s turn in an epic mural of Marvel’s biggest heroes standing ready to fight, and today we learn Ross was busy rendering an impressive lineup of villains too.
“The passion I held for illustrating many of Marvel’s heroes in a timeless representation was easily matched by the passion I felt for illustrating the villains,” Ross said. “Marvel clearly has some of the greatest concepts in the realm of supervillains as well as heroes.”
There are 37 villains in total in the mural, and similar to the hero’s mural the villains will be sliced up and turned into variant covers. Expect to see those variant covers in March 2023.
