The Marvel Universe has always been protected by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. But this May, the world will be reborn without the Avengers! From mastermind creators Jason Aaron and Ed McGuiness comes HEROES REBORN, a bold new vision of the Marvel Universe where the Avengers never assembled and the Squadron Supreme took their place as Earth’s greatest super heroes. Today, Marvel Comics is excited to announce that each issue of this exciting series will have a special TRADING CARD VARIANT COVER by superstar artist Mark Bagley!
Featuring all the major players of this upcoming saga including Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum, Whizzer, and Blade, this extraordinary collection of covers will allow fans to further immerse themselves in the new world of HEROES REBORN with cover designs modeled as 90s style trading cards. A series of 9 covers, the HEROES REBORN TRADING CARD VARIANT COVERS will connect to form one epic image.
"Man, THIS was fun! I got to draw a BUNCH of characters for the first time, which doesn't happen very often after all these years of drawing comics,” Bagley said. “I was just a kid comics fan when the Squadron was created, and I remember loving John and Sal Buscema's art at the time. Even then, I aspired to do what they were doing, so it was a thrill doing this, and I'm proud to have been offered the opportunity."
In addition, the artwork from these variant covers will be featured on trading cards, and the cards will be available at participating comic shops while supplies last! Packed with essential information on the main heroes and villains of HEROES REBORN, these trading cards will help immerse fans into this new Marvel Comics era. Retailers will be able to order these packs and begin distributing them when HEROES REBORN #1 launches on May 5th.
Trading cards have always been a beloved part of the comic book world, offering fans another way to collect a piece of their favorite stories. Celebrate this tradition by picking up this these unique variant covers when the first five covers debut in May.

Oh yes we really do need this ASAP, I guess there's some fans who would want more classic looks for these figures but this is so good (Or maybe art is) I don't think we should be mad if this gets made first but we definitely needher older costume with the helmet down the line too.

Yes, we get it, this is the Justice League.And if you got the limited series from the 80s you read one of the best renditions of Marvel's JLA there's ever been. The Supreme Power MAX line was even darker and also was excellent. But Squadron really is like that rare condiment you use now and then...its not the whole meal. Marvel has got tons of other properties they can go to, and need to go to.
That pic of Princess though.....
Yeah, you definitely get my point then. Gruenwald wrote them well and I have liked a few other moments when they've popped up but it has to be written just right. Using your condiment analogy,a little dash here and there goes a long way. And agreed, that picture is pretty hot lol.

Not being a dick or anything, just figured you weren't bothered or didn't know how to type it. It's natural on my keyboard. Just trying to be helpful
Lol. I was seriously looking for that. I work in a high security area. No smartphones allowed. We are allowed to use the computers for personal use, but they are stripped down pieces of slightly usable crap. My phone woulda auto corrected.

If ML did a Squadron Supreme multi-pack somewhat similar to the Children of Thanos pack, I would pre-order multiples manana.

Totally agree both armours need updates
It actually just dawned on me but if we got Power Princess in Legends form, the same buck could easily be modified to make Warrior Woman. That would be amazing.
