For decades, the Marvel Masterworks line served as the gold standard for reprinting classic superhero comics in a comprehensive, collector-friendly format. That is, until Marvel finally shelved the Masterworks line at the beginning of 2026. Thankfully, Clover Press has stepped in to fill the void. They're reviving Marvel Masterworks and picking up right where Marvel itself left off.
Clover Press will be continuing the Marvel Masterworks line via crowdfunding. Their initial Kickstarter campaign focuses on four hardcovers - Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men Vol. 18, Marvel Masterworks: Super-Villain Team-Up Vol. 1, Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Vol. 25, and Marvel Masterworks: The Tomb of Dracula Vol. 6. Each book will be available in one of three cover variants, two of which match the classic Masterworks formats and one that takes a new, more stylized approach.

As before, the goal with these Marvel Masterworks hardcovers is to provide a complete and chronological collection of classic Marvel Comics material, reprinted as close to the original art as possible. In some cases, the books have been painstakingly rescanned and restored from the original artwork. And Marvel Masterworks collectors will be happy to know that longtime series editor Cory Sedlmeier will continue to oversee the line.
Here's the official summary of these four books:
“Each Masterworks volume has a completely new restoration that outshines all past editions,” said Sedlmeier in a statement. “More than 40% of the final issue of Tomb of Dracula—an issue that suffered from poor reproduction in all past printings, including the original comic—has been restored from original art; dozens of pages of Jim Lee X-Men have been restored from the originals; and over 200 pages of Walter Simonson’s Thor have been restored from original art scans that Walter did just for this Masterworks. Coupled with the highest fidelity reproduction ever at 1200dpi and meticulous color restoration, the new line of Masterworks is going to knock the socks off readers old and new alike.”
The Kickstarter campaign for the new Marvel Masterworks line is live now. The campaign features plenty of optional bonuses like a Premium Works collector box, Fact Files character cards, journals, buttons, character stickers, mini prints, large artist edition prints, postcards, stationery-inspired inserts, facsimile posters, dustjackets, and die-cut slipcases.
