Civil War tie-ins have been just as popular as the main event itself. As a result of the massive response to these now sold out titles, Marvel is going back to press on New Avengers: Illuminati Special, Wolverine #42, Amazing Spider-Man #532, Thunderbolts #103, and She-Hulk #8.
Featuring a special variant cover scheme running across three of the back-to-presses, New Avengers: Illuminati Special, Wolverine #42, and Amazing Spider-Man #532 will lose the standard Civil War banner and feature an iconic image from the interior of each specific book. For instance, the New Avengers: Illuminati Special Second Printing will feature a cover of the now iconic Alex Maleev image of Tony Stark sitting alone after the Illuminati have broken apart.
The second printing variants of Thunderbolts #103 and She-Hulk #8 will feature all-new covers by Mark Bagley and Juan Bobillo respectively. It’s a variant blast from the past as former Thunderbolts artist Mark Bagley and former She-Hulk artist Juan Bobillo knock out two fantastic covers for books they used to call home. Note: the sketches shown here are not the final covers as they will be in full color. (And for you Sensational She Hulk fans, the Green Goddess will be saying “Okay, now. This is your second chance. If you don’t buy my book this time, I’m gonna come to your house and rip up all your Civil War variantsâ€)
Despite large overprintings, all five of these books have sold out as a result of new readers and the return of old readers to comic shops to read Civil War. Civil War is proving to be one of the biggest events in Marvel’s history so don’t miss out on these fantastic second printing variants of New Avengers: Illuminati Special, Wolverine #42, Amazing Spider-Man #532, Thunderbolts #103, and She-Hulk #8, and don’t forget Civil War #2 Spider-Man Unmasked Variant!
Fans be advised that some of the first printings may still be available at the retail level. Retailers should check their orders now on all upcoming Civil War issues and tie ins.
