🕩 Tom Taylor’s post-technology Marvel universe, through Mike McKone’s alternate visual eye — Dark Ages #4 McKone Variant, the alternate cover edition of this pivotal chapter in Tom Taylor and Iban Coello’s Dark Ages limited series, Mike McKone’s distinct visual style providing collectors a second visual interpretation of the story’s dramatic mid-series chapter. Dark Ages is Tom Taylor doing what he does best: taking a high-concept what-if premise — what if an alien entity destroyed all of Earth’s technology and humanity had to rebuild without electricity, without machines, without the infrastructure of modern civilization — and finding in that premise a story about human resilience, heroism, and what the Marvel universe’s characters mean when stripped of their technological advantages. The series asks which heroes would thrive in a world without power, which would struggle, and what kind of civilization humanity would build from the rubble. Mike McKone’s long history in superhero comics — his X-Men, Teen Titans, and Exiles work establishing him as one of the form’s most reliable and distinctive visual voices — gives the Dark Ages #4 McKone Variant an alternate visual personality that complements Iban Coello’s interior approach. 🕩 Dark Ages #4 McKone Variant is the post-technology Marvel universe, through one of comics’ most experienced alternate visual interpreters.

This is Dark Ages #4 McKone Variant — Tom Taylor and Iban Coello’s Dark Ages series, Mike McKone alternate cover (Marvel Comics, January 2022).
