Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin’ dirty and gritty
Summer is in full swing: Temps are rising, fireworks are exploding and pools are bustling! We here at ComicsXF love to cool off with some sexy bods, which makes us especially excited for the return of the Marvel swimsuit specials with next week’s Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals #1
Check out our exclusive preview of the book below, in which the Avengers must deal with the insidious threat of both Roxxon and and AI-generated art, then keep scrolling to get all the deets.
