Inhyuk Lee’s Street-Verse: A Fusion of Fashion and Superheroes
Marvel fans are buzzing about the upcoming ‘Street-Verse’ variant covers by acclaimed artist Inhyuk Lee, set to release in November 2025.

According to Marvel.com, the series will feature 20 covers, transforming characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and even Doctor Doom into sleek, modernized versions of themselves. Lee, known for his expertise in digital illustration and character design, stated, “I’ve always been drawn to modern and practical design, and techwear perfectly embodies that.”
The ‘Street-Verse’ series has roots in Lee’s personal project, ‘Who is Next?’ which he began in 2021. Marvel recognized his innovative approach and invited him to adapt his designs for this new initiative. The covers will be available across various Marvel titles, such as ‘Amazing Spider-Man,’ ‘Miles Morales: Spider-Man,’ and ‘Venom.’ Fans can pre-order these unique editions or access them digitally through the Marvel Unlimited app, which boasts a library of over 30,000 comics.
