Mondo’s lineup for NYCC brings together two very different takes on superhero mythology. Tom Whalen’s Fantastic Four: First Steps bursts with energy and color, channeling a retro-futurist style that perfectly fits Marvel’s first family as they face off against Galactus. On the other side, Julian Totino Tedesco delivers Superman, a serene and hopeful image of the Man of Steel with Krypto at his side. The painterly realism and warm palette capture a lighter, almost Americana tone (farm land in the background), reminding us why Superman remains one of pop culture’s purest icons. Both pieces debut this weekend as part of Mondo’s NYCC 2025 collection and are available for sale now on the Mondo website.
