This June, Marvel Comics pays tribute to its legendary rogues’ gallery with the Bring On the Bad Guys event, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the influential trade paperback of the same name. Spearheaded by writer Marc Guggenheim and various artists across seven villain-focused one-shots (featuring Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Loki, and more), the celebration extends to a special variant cover program throughout the month.
Across 20 different titles releasing in June, fans can collect “Bring On the Bad Guys” Variant Covers. Each cover depicts a dynamic confrontation between the comic’s lead hero and a prominent Marvel supervillain. These illustrations, created by a roster of popular artists, range from classic rivalries like Doctor Strange vs. Dormammu to more unexpected pairings such as Emma Frost vs. Maestro.
The event aims to showcase the thrilling conflicts that define the Marvel Universe. Collectors and fans can look forward to acquiring these special covers on the following dates:
