New York, NY\u2014 May 26, 2023\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 All year long, superstar artist Mark Brooks is helping Marvel Comics celebrate the 60th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversaries of the Avengers and the X-Men with new CORNER BOX VARIANT COVERS! Utilizing the classic comic book tradition of corner boxes in a unique new way, Brooks depicts lineups and characters from throughout both team\u2019s histories. Today, fans can check out the two installments that will debut in July, adorning AVENGERS #3 and X-MEN #24!<\/p>\n

For this duo, Brooks takes things back to the \u201880s, a decade that was home to some of the Avengers and X-Men\u2019s greatest stories. On AVENGERS #3\u2019s Corner Box Cover, see how Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes expanded in the decade with new faces like Tigra, She-Hulk, and Monica Rambeau. And on X-MEN #24\u2019s Corner Box Cover, Brooks chose to honor the saga that changed the mutant mythos forever by giving Phoenix a gorgeous solo spotlight!<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many reasons why I was attracted to comics as a kid and the corner box was a big part of it,\u201d Brooks explained. \u201cI knew what issue number and who I could expect to see in the issue. It was a little preview to tantalize the reader. It was always heads, a full figure, or a micro-scene. No matter what, it enticed me to pick the book up. It\u2019s why I started the #LetMarkCornerbox campaign in earnest on Twitter. It was primarily a joke to express my love for the corner box. It ended up taking on a bit of a life of its own. When C.B. told me that they\u2019d like this to become a reality, I couldn\u2019t pass it up. I\u2019ve penciled well over 100 heads so far. I don\u2019t plan on stopping until Marvel says \u2018okay, that\u2019s enough\u2019- LOL!\u201d<\/p>\n
