Spider-Man’s Villains Take On Marvel’s Heroes In Variant Cover Series
by James Ferguson
No one in the Marvel Universe has as wide a range of villains as Spider-Man does. He’s got a pretty varied rogues gallery including everyone from Doctor Octopus and Kraven the Hunter to Green Goblin and the Rhino. This June, Marvel is celebrating the bad guys as Spidey’s foes take on an array of heroes through a series of variant covers.
Did you ever want to see Daredevil take on the Shocker? What about Shang-Chi fighting King Cobra? That’s the kind of stuff that’s in store for us in the 20 covers coming our way from artists such as Javier Garrón, Leinil Francis Yu, Declan Shalvey, Ryan Stegman, Carlos Pacheco, and Natacha Bustos. Here’s the list of match-ups:
- Black Cat vs. Scorpia
- Black Widow vs. Electro
- Captain America vs. Kraven the Hunter
- Captain Marvel vs. Vulture
- Fantastic Four vs. Sandman
- Iron Man vs. Boomerang
- Jean Grey & Emma Frost vs. Beetle (Janice Lincoln)
- Silk vs. White Rabbit
- Spider-Man vs. Chameleon
- Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus
- Spider-Man vs. Taskmaster & Black Ant
- Star-Lord vs. Trapster
- Thor vs. Lizard
- Wolverine vs. Stegron
Usually these variant covers have a theme, like the upcoming ones for Pride Month. These seem kind of random. Is there a big event coming with Spider-Man’s villains that I didn’t notice? Check out the list of covers below:
