More Marvel Comics Creative Changes For May

Published Fri, 09 Apr 2021 15:15:21 -0500

Bleeding Cool has often run the Ch-Ch-Changes columns over the years, looking at slips between solicitation and publication when it comes to creative credit changes. But the current Marvel list is rather more major than usual. Why? Well, healthcare issues – especially outside the US without high vaccine levels – can be an issue, regarding the coronavirus, Bleeding Cool is aware that across the board, pencillers, inkers, colourists and letterers have been affected, as well as postal services, leading to delays in production, and editors bringing in other creators to help smooth publication. Or creators could just a) be late b) be on time but editorial thought they'd be early c) production just picked a date out of the air and crossed their fingers.

Anyway, the current solicitations for Marvel comics being published in May are going through changes. We've already looked a few today, here are a handful more.

Fantastic Four #32 will be drawn by Javier Rodriguez, along with the previously solicited R.B. Silva.
Heroes Reborn: Hyperion And Imperial Guard #1 will now be drawn by Stephen Byrne, along with the previously solicited Michele Bandini.
Mighty Valkyries #2 will now be drawn by Erica D'Urso, along with the previously solicited Mattia De Iulis.
Maestro: War And Pax #5 will now be drawn by German Peralta, along with the previously solicited Javier Pina.

Here are the new solicits:
