Storied superhero artist John Romita Jr. is returning to Marvel Comics. Marvel announced the news on Wednesday, marking the end of Romita’s tenure at DC Comics and move back to the publisher he worked for decades prior on titles including Daredevil, The Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Uncanny X-Men. His work will begin appearing in Marvel releases again in July (which, perhaps coincidentally, is when the Extreme Carnage event, which has no artist named to it, begins). “I have been very fortunate more than a few times in my life, and now I can add this latest event to that list. I have returned to Marvel, the company that I started my career in, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!” said Romita in a press release. “I am literally, at this very moment, working on my next big Marvel project, and it’s a blast!!! I am JUST as excited as I was when I first started, and I will do my best to let the work show that again. I hope fans will see that too!”
