Aldridge (Estranged); Silver Surfer by Ryan Andrews (This Was Our Pact); Thor by Mike Cavallaro (Nico Bravo); Moon Knight by Chan Chau (The Baby-Sitters Club); Silk by Gabriela Epstein (Invisible: A Graphic Novel); Spider-Man 2099 by Tim Fielder (Matty’s Rocket); the Avengers by Brian Fies (The Last Mechanical Monster); the Fantastic Four by Dean Haspiel (Mo and Jo Fighting Together Forever); Black Panther by Jennings; Spider-Man by Jarrett Krosoczka (Lunch Lady); Guardians of the Galaxy by Kat Leyh (Snapdragon); Hulk by Jamar Nicholas (Leon the Extraordinary); Ant-Man by Amber Padilla (The Secret Garden on 81st Street); Hawkeye by Carlisle Robinson (Deafverse); and a Captain America adventure by Judd Winick (Hilo).
All in all, this should be a great holiday gift for any kid (aged 8 to 12) who really felt the MCU’s relative absence this year. But what if (no pun intended) they’re more into the Distinguished Competition? Don’t worry, because Abrams also just released a new edition of DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book by Matthew Reinhart (aimed at ages 5 and up), whose interiors the publisher have kindly provided us with a look at:
From New York Times bestselling paper engineer Matthew Reinhart comes the ultimate 3D masterpiece showcasing all your favorite comic book characters in DC Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book.
