The participating artists have really brought some of their best work ever to the table. If you want to see the different styles the Mondo crew is capable of, look no further than this series, we couldn't be happier with it,” said Justin Ishmael, Mondo Creative Director.
The Black Widow poster is by Mondo artist Olly Moss who provided an amazing vision of the Soviet spy and now Avenger. Mondo collaborated with artist Tom Whalen for the Hawkeye poster complete with signature bow and arrow. Additional details on both posters are below.
