🌀 The dimension-hoppers assemble, in Mike McKone’s iconic character cover art — Exiles #3 McKone Character Variant, from Saladin Ahmed and Javier Rodríguez’s 2018 revival of one of Marvel’s most beloved and underserved concepts, the McKone variant offering the series’ most character-portrait-forward visual presentation. Exiles is the dimension-hopping team series that launched in 2001 under Judd Winick and Mike McKone — and the choice of McKone for the 2018 revival’s character variant covers is a deliberate act of institutional memory, connecting the new series visually to the original’s artistic legacy. Ahmed and Rodríguez’s revival brought together Blink, Kamala Khan, Valkyrie, Iron Lad, the time-displaced Nick Fury, and Wolvie (a baby Wolverine from a pocket dimension), building a team with genuine personality dynamics and the kind of cross-era Marvel character tension that makes the dimension-hopping concept endlessly generative. Javier Rodríguez’s interior art is psychedelic and inventive, each dimension offering its own distinct visual palette. The McKone Character Variant gives collectors the original creative team’s visual language as a cover companion to Rodríguez’s interior work. 🌀 Exiles #3 McKone Variant is the dimension-hoppers, through their original artist’s defining vision.

This is Exiles #3 McKone Character Variant — Saladin Ahmed and Javier Rodríguez’s Exiles revival, Mike McKone variant (Marvel Comics, May 2018).
