Variant cover slate to spin out of this fall’s Marvel Dimensions

September will bring Alex Ross’ newest, Marvel Dimensions. But before we get to that, there are some variant covers to talk about.

Alex Ross covers the Marvel U

Comics fans of all ages should well know the name Alex Ross by now. The artist has delivered stunning works featuring multiple publisher’s pantheons, stretching back to the 90s. Now back at Marvel Comics once again, there’s more to come.

This fall will see the arrival of Marvel Dimensions, a graphic novel featuring Ross, that looks to be pretty wide in scope. According to Marvel, the title will span the ages, getting into origins, as well as “early stories”.

It sounds like it’ll offer a nice presentation too, clocking in at 112 pages and in hardcover format.

This September, Alex Ross reimagines the Marvel Universe in Marvel Dimensions, an all-new graphic novel from Marvel and Abrams ComicArts as part of their Marvel Arts line, releasing September 1, 2026. Written and illustrated by Ross, the upcoming graphic novel follows the incomparable artist’s acclaimed work on Fantastic Four: Full Circle with an expansive, reality-shattering saga that includes beautifully painted depictions of Marvel heroes’ iconic origins and early stories. Starting in June, eighteen pieces of artwork from Marvel Dimensions will appear as stunning VARIANT COVERS across select Marvel Comics titles.

As you can see there, while Marvel Dimensions is the main course, there’s more. This summer will see an appetizer in the form of a variant cover slate. Featuring art from the actually book to come, it will span multiple titles and feature some of the biggest Marvel Comics superheroes, at their most iconic.

Summertime covers

Set to follow on Ross’ own Timeless, the new Marvel Dimensions line looks to feature some stellar art. Each cover will “showcase Marvel heroes as the mythic legends they are”, according to the company. As such, you can expect a heavy roster of the Marvel Universe’s biggest heroes to be present.

The Fantastic Four, the Avengers, Spider-Man, and of course the X-Men will all be a part of the Marvel Dimensions variant lineup. And from the looks of the preview imagery, these are shaping up to be some terrific homages to the Marvel of the past.

The full slate that you see above will kick off in June, starting with Avengers: Armageddon #1. From there, the collection will roll on towards its finale in August 12th’s Daredevil #5. In between will be a pretty full collection as well, with all of the above figuring in.

Get the full scoop in the official rundown below. The list comes complete with dates and issues that you’ll need to hunt for, if you’re looking to buy into the full set.
