A NEW SERIES OF VARIANT COVERS BY ALEX ROSS THAT SHOWCASE MARVEL'S GREATEST VILLAINS

Alex Ross - The VillainsLast week, I published an article showcasing a selection of images that depict some of the most popular superheroes from the Marvel Universe (click here to check that out). Each image was illustrated by the multi-award-winning artist, Alex Ross, who initially drew them for a mural that's located in Marvel's New York offices. Since then, he's illustrated more characters associated with Marvel. But this time, for a new series of variant covers featuring some of their villains. Thirteen of these covers can be seen below, along with a video starring Alex Ross talking about his work.
