"From The Chaos, A Costume" Variants From Marvel Comics' Stormbreakers

The Stormbreakers line-up of exclusive artists at Marvel Comics are creating a new line of variant covers for Marvel Comics in November, redesigning a number of Marvel Comics characters as the "From The Chaos, A Costume Variant" covers, to reflect when Spider-Man got his black costume in Secret Wars (though that was "Amid The Chaos, There Comes A Costume…" on the cover copy), and how Venom #252 will be revisiting that in December, with Venom getting the red and blue look.

Marvel says "the covers debut startling new looks for some of Marvel's greatest heroes. The new costumes offer fresh, dynamic twists on the character's classic garb, reflecting the individual styles that make these artists creative powerhouses!" The current class of Marvel's Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio, Netho Diaz, Simone Di Meo, Juan Frigeri, Gurihiru, Jonas Scharf, Geoff Shaw, and Luciano Vecchio.  Marvel says "Chosen for their iconic art, notable achievements, and boundless imagination when bringing the Marvel mythos to the page, these creators represent the future of comic book artistry and embody the raw talent to shatter the limits of visual storytelling!"

After helping bring the X-Men's Krakoan Era to an epic close in Resurrection of Magneto and Rise of the Powers of X, Vecchio continues to be a master of mutant storytelling in Uncanny X-Men with Gail Simone and the upcoming X-Men: Hellfire Vigil one-shot.
