If you’ve been enjoying Marvel Rivals, you’ll be happy to hear that a new comic is being released later this year.
With the popularity of the superhero team-based PVP shooter from Marvel Games and NetEase Games, a companion comic book will hit your local comic book stores this April, written by Paul Allor and with artwork by Luca Claretti.
Marvel Rivals #1 will collect all six issues of Marvel Unlimited’s Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic (which concluded on January 20) and be printed for the first time.
The comic’s description on the Marvel website is: Set in Tokyo 2099, the time rift has disrupted the Web of Life and Destiny, leaving the world’s heroes to battle it out over the best way to fix it. One group, led by Peni Parker, wants to plug the Web into Cyberspace to repair it. The other group, led by Spider-Man, favours a more conservative approach of using Chronovium to strengthen the web and allow it to repair itself. The time rift makes rivals out of us all, but which team will overtake the other?
Allor told Marvel, “Working on the Marvel Rivals comic has been such a thrill, and seeing gamers latch on to our story has been heartwarming. Marvel and NetEase created a wonderful new world filled with so much potential for fun, funny and action-packed storytelling. I’m delighted to be a part of it, especially with this incredible team of editors and artists.”
