It's a big year for San Diego Comic-Con,koko malaysia viral lucah a big year for Marvel, and a big year for Mondo.
On the 'Con front, 2022 marks the fan convention's first full-blown return since COVID shut the world down in March 2020 (there was a heavily curtailed show in 2021). For Marvel, it's a year of re-introductions, new heroes, and, as Ms. Marvelon Disney+ and the Doctor Strangesequel both demonstrated, stylistic evolutions. And for Mondo, the boutique Austin art gallery known for its geeky limited edition collectibles, SDCC '22 is its first as a wholly owned subsidiary of Funko.
A team-up worthy of the Avengers was inevitable, and here it is. Marvel is bringing a whole lineup of Mondo exclusives to San Diego Comic-Con, including a pair of posters and variants for each one, a reissued soundtrack on vinyl with updated art, and a beastly figurine. Some of them will only be available at the show itself, but those stuck at home aren't being left out.

We'll start with the posters. On the Marvel Studios side, there's a wall-worthy new Black Widow poster from Tula Lotay, the artist behind the Warren Ellis-authored comic, Supreme: Blue Rose, and the founder of the UK's Thought Bubble Festival. Portraits of powerful women are a common theme in her work, and these two Widowpieces showcase her talents.

The poster's red-and-black variant is set as a show-floor exclusive. Attendees will be able to grab one from the Mondo booth (#5137) for $75, but only if you're lucky enough to get there before the even smaller edition of 120 posters sells out.
Fans of the comics are also in for a treat, with a pair of Silver Surfer posters featuring iconic art that marks a particular moment in Marvel history. The main offering is a poster-sized version of the first cover from the two-issue, Eisner Award-winning Silver Surfer: Parableminiseries that released in 1988. The late French artist Jean "Moebius" Giraud provided the art for a script penned by none other than Stan Lee himself. The poster's "Keyline" variant features a color-free, pencil-shaded version of the same art.

The full-color one is the show floor exclusive, and attendees will have a chance to pick one up, out of an edition of 225, at Mondo's booth on July 23 for $50. The $70 variant will also be sold on July 23, but the limited offering of 100 posters will only be available from the Mondo Shop online.
Mondo's Marvel soundtrack at SDCC '22
This next one is a reissue with a twist. Back in April, Mondo revealed a vinyl record release of Joel P. West's memorable Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringssoundtrack, featuring inside and outside gatefold art from Dani Pendergast. While that art isn't changing, the records themselves are. The original's pair of color vinyl records, one blue and one yellow, will be replaced in the SDCC reissue with a grey record and a red record.
