SHADOWS OF TOMORROW, the next era of X-Men storytelling, begins in January. To celebrate this exciting turning point for mutantkind, Marvel’s Stormbreakers spotlight some of the X-Books’ biggest stars in new X-MEN TRADING CARD VARIANT COVERS.
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.
The current class of Marvel’s Stormbreakers include Alessandro Cappuccio (Ultimate Wolverine), Netho Diaz (X-Men), Simone Di Meo (X-Men of Apocalypse), Juan Frigeri (Ultimates), Gurihiru (Jeff the Land Shark), Jonas Scharf (Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, Ultimate Endgame), Geoff Shaw (Red Hulk, Wade Wilson: Deadpool), and Luciano Vecchio (Uncanny X-Men). Chosen for their remarkable art, notable achievements, and boundless imagination when bringing the Marvel mythos to the page, these creators represent the future of comic book artistry and embody the raw talent to shatter the limits of visual storytelling!

Showcased in trading card-style frames, the covers harken back to the ‘90s when the X-Men dominated pop culture on comic stands, television, and in iconic trading card sets. Today, X-Men storytelling is more impactful than ever as the aftermath of Age of Revelation arms the X-Men with knowledge to prevent one of the darkest futures in Marvel Comics history.
