Throughout next year, Marvel Comics looks set to continue its popular line of "Infinity Saga" variant covers. Highlighting each and every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, they feature some of the industry's greatest artists paying tribute to Marvel Studios' incredible impact with stunning poster-style comic art.

The next batch of covers will allow fans to revisit the incredible highs of the films that closed out the groundbreaking Infinity Saga: Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Ant-Man and The Wasp. The first three Infinity Saga Phase 3 Variant Covers will hit stands in February with the rest set to be released in the following months.

Thanos and his Black Order reign victorious in superstar artist Leinil Francis Yu's cover spotlighting Avengers: Infinity War, while best-selling cover artist Mark Brooks depicts the unforgettable "Avengers Assemble" moment from Marvel Studios' epic record-breaking blockbuster, Avengers: Endgame.

Finally, artist Dike Ruan, known for his critically acclaimed work on Shang-Chi, presents the dynamite debut of The Wasp and Ghost in Ant-Man and The Wasp

While we're used to seeing amazing concept art featuring the MCU's heroes and villains, it's amazing seeing some huge-name comic artists put their own spin on these iconic characters. Honestly, we're a little surprised that Marvel Studios doesn't enlist them to create bespoke posters for the movies they release in theaters and the TV shows that premiere on Disney+.

The Infinity Saga played out across three Phases, though Phase 4 has seen us thrown headfirst into The Multiverse Saga. It's been something of a mixed bag thus far, but we do have high hopes for Phase 5 based on what we know about it. That kicks off early next year with Secret Invasion and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.

Check out these awesome new "Infinity Saga" variant covers below, and keep checking back here as more of them are shown off by Marvel Comics over the coming weeks.

It's so odd because it hasn't been that long since we enjoyed that phase, but I actually look back on it with nostalgia. They spoiled the hell out of us. Think back to the first time reading Civil War. Think back to those splash pages. Did you ever think you'd see a big screen version of it? Kevin is a mad genius. We are about to see Secret FREAKING Wars. Total insanity!

Nice looking covers, but it really speaks to the strange direction they took the Hulk in to not see him on either cover.

I know Bruce is in the Hulkbuster suit, but it’s lame to not have real Hulk in an Avengers lineup.

One of the very few complaints about Infinity War is Bruce’s “performance anxiety” arc.

Hopefully they take him in a new direction soon. Enough of the Smart Hulk.

@mountainman - I think it's pretty clear from the plot of She-Hulk and what little we know about New World Order that a Planet Hulk-based project is in the works.

@TUD - Hopefully they don’t just show horn it into New World Order like they show horned Planet Hulk into Ragnarok. A lot of the casting and rumors seem to imply this might be the case. Either way, that movie will likely see the return of a more savage style Hulk, and that will be a welcome change.

@mountainman - I can't agree enough. Ditch Smart Hulk and unleash that rage monster on screen once again.

@mountainman - Personally, I expect that The Leader taking over government orgs will be the core of the story with the Hulk blood stuff being a sub-plot, but the World War Hulk stuff will actually happen in its own project. I guess we'll find out in a year and some change lol

@TUD - Yeah hopefully setting up WWH is just the b plot of NWO. It would be nice to get another true Captain America movie again. Sam just got the mantle at the end of his show so this will be him finally coming into his own.

@mountainman - Feige has butchered Hulk. These covers only reinforce that.

@dragon316 - How exactly does the Ghost tie into the Infinity Saga on the third cover? Is there something going on there that we didn't catch in the movies?

So is Spider-Man not allowed to appear on these?

@OmegaBlack13 - Had the same thought. He was a huge part of IW, at least

Nice, but wouldn’t these have been more appropriate about four or five years ago?
