First launched in 2020, Marvel’s Stormbreakers evolved from Marvel’s Young Guns program. Over the past 15 years, Marvel selected and recognized 36 up-and-coming artists who went on to draw some of Marvel’s greatest events, iconic series, and beyond, solidifying their place as luminaries in the industry including Steve McNiven, Jim Cheung, Sara Pichelli, Ryan Stegman, and more.
Also part of the 50th anniversary celebration are a series of all-new WHAT IF…? one-shots!
Announced last month, the new one-shots shake the foundations of every corner of the Marvel mythos with startling shifts to iconic storylines, kicking off in June with:
- WHAT IF…? UNCANNY X-MEN #1, where Gerry Duggan and Jan Bazaldua ask “What if… Cyclops had stayed with Madelyne Pryor?”
- WHAT IF…? THOR #1, where Torunn Grønbekk and Sergio Dávila ask “What if… Thor got Spider-Man’s symbiote suit?”
