Each cover is designed to mirror the aesthetics of the new film, including elements associated with Ares, a character portrayed by Jared Leto, who ventures out of the Grid and into the real world seeking human assistance.

Marvel's press release highlights the collaboration with top artists to deliver designs that resonate with fans of both the comic book universe and the Tron franchise. The series will debut in October, alongside a sneak peek at five covers, including the Captain America variant by artist Stephen Segovia.

The following titles will feature these exciting variant covers, rolling out on specific release dates throughout the month:
