Ultimate Endgame #1 went on sale last week and was\u00a0released in “Blind Bags” containing several different covers of varying rarity. In some cases, it was as simple as them being 1:100 or 1:10 variants; however,\u00a0the biggest draw for collectors was the possibility of finding a hand-drawn sketch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marvel Comics enlisted various artists to provide original artwork on blank covers, with even Robert Downey Jr. getting involved. He provided sketches of Iron Man and Doctor Doom, and it’s now been revealed that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was also enlisted to showcase his artistic…talents.<\/p>\n
The executive drew the Fantastic Four’s logo on one cover, but alongside his signature, made sure to include an asterisk reminding whoever finds it that he’s\u00a0a producer, not an illustrator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A second variant cover by Feige features the X-Men’s classic logo, with the Marvel Studios President this time making sure to point out that the mutant team is “the future.” This is surely yet another hint that the Mutant Saga will follow the Multiverse Saga, with the focus likely on a slate of X-Men movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n
Last year,\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/a>\u00a0reported that\u00a0“Feige is leading an internal overhaul aimed at getting the studio back on track,” adding that\u00a0“Feige recently told colleagues he agreed to the plan because of a zealousness to tell more stories and a desire to be an ‘excellent corporate citizen.’\u00a0It turned out to be a mistake.”<\/p>\n Thunderbolts*\u00a0and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are examples of\u00a0movies produced in the post-quantity era, hence the glowing reviews. Feige also has one eye on the future as he’s reportedly\u00a0“told colleagues he has a 10-year plan for the [X-Men].”<\/p>\n Check out Feige’s Ultimate Endgame #1 sketch variant covers below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
