Last summer saw the triumphant return of the legendary ’90s comic, the Marvel Swimsuit Special, in Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals #1! Now get ready for more excitement this July with Marvel Swimsuit Special: Brand New Beach Day #1. This new one-shot is brimming with playful stories and striking pinups of Marvel’s biggest heroes, illustrated by an impressive roster of artists like Pasqual Ferry, Valerio Schiti, Dan Panosian, Javier Garrón, Carmen Carnero, and many others.

On top of the eye-catching artwork, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Brand New Beach Day #1 features four entertaining tales from across the Marvel Universe:

· Hulk, She-Hulk, Doc Samson, and newcomer Powerlift crank up the intensity at the gym in a story by Cody Ziglar (Miles Morales: Spider-Man).

· Namor throws an unforgettable Atlantean-style beach party in a tale by Daniel Kibblesmith (Loki).

· The X-Men bring their signature flair—showcasing mutants of every kind—at the shore in a Rainbow Rowell (She-Hulk) story about the power of self-confidence!

· For those craving suspense, Anthony Oliveria (Avengers Academy) delivers a thrilling beach slasher adventure starring Spider-Man!

The recent swimsuit special is so PG. It's nothing like the 90s and i assume the same for this one. The Marvel Rivals game makes the swimsuit like they use too.

LoL I still remember these Swimsuit books were always so popular in the comic trading circuit I was involved in as a kid, lil 10 year olds were so enamoured, I always thought they were kinda goofy and took away from my "but these guys are so cool and badass, why are they at the beach looking all youu knooow?" I always felt like this gimmick had a certain obvious demographic, Anyway sure it's nostalgic to see now again, And reminds me that one of my X-Men trading card sets isn't complete without one of the Swimsuit cards, I can't remember the set off the top of my head or who the card was of, but gosh did that bug me, and now does all over again.

The recent Swimsuit special reflects current times...speaks to a new generation i guess

I'm a bit surprised this is returning. I remember those in the 90s. But they're fun.

It's absolutely silly but it's the best kind of silly.
