Marvel Comics is taking ’90s nostalgia to the X-Treme. After announcing the return of the early 2000s comic book X-Treme X-Men from writer Chris Claremont and artist Salvador Larroca at San Diego Comic-Con, the publisher will complement the limited series with the X-Treme Marvel variant cover series. Starting this November, the collection will cover titles like The Amazing Spider-ManShe-HulkBlack Panther, and Daredevil, featuring X-Treme re-imaginings of Marvel heroes and villains by some of the industry’s leading artists. While there are no foil or hologram gimmicks, each cover is a throwback to the ’90s/2000s era with giant shoulder pads, spiky armor, ginormous weapons, and plenty of pouches.
