Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment‘s upcoming “Excellence” comic book series by Khary Randolph and Brandon Thomas will feature a special line of variant covered dubbed “Visions of Excellence”, to showcase the artist work of creators of color.
The initial “Visions of Excellence” variant covers will feature artwork by: Khary Randolph, Sanford Greene, and Juni Ba.
“Legacy is one of the defining themes of Excellence, and these covers will showcase the past, present, and future of this world of magic,” said Thomas.
“The series of variants is also another way to recognize and celebrate even more creators of color, and we wanted to simply put the book into their hands, and see what characters and imagery inspired them. The results are already blowing us away, and stay tuned for even more amazing artists to contribute in the coming months!”
