Although slated for release after Christmas, Dark Horse Comics will release Marvel Rivals: The Poster Collection for that fan who loves to have nothing but superhero art on their walls. This collection has twenty full-colour, gallery-quality tear-out prints of the supers doing what they do best, engaged in various kinds of activity.
They are not all combat oriented, and what caught my attention is the plate celebrating Chinese New Year. It’s the most beautiful piece in the collection, rich and honouring the day with a correct colour palette, which can only make this piece soar. I believe the two individuals are Iron Fist (Lin Lie) and Psylocke (Kwannon) performing a Lion Dance. Without their signature looks in place, that’s who I think they are.
On another plate is a very stylish rendition of the Fantastic Four, and for another poster, there’s Doctor Strange. The game he’s summoned does not look like Mah-jong. These are the standouts from the collection. A lot of care and attention is put into making them true gallery pieces. I imagine these are proper paintings rather than art overlaid on 3D meshes.
