Marvel‘s television division is set to have a major presence at this weekend’s New York Comic-Con, and to prepare fans for the barrage of what’s to come, the studio have now released some awesome comic-style posters for some of their upcoming shows.
First up, the one-sheet for Hulu’s Runaways depicts the inciting incident for the whole series: as Alex, Nico and the rest of the teens discover that their parents are part of a supervillan cult called The Pride. It’s a testament to how faithful the show is to the comics that this image could be lifted straight off the page. It also confirms that Gert’s dinosaur Old Lace will be retained for the small screen.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s upcoming fifth season, meanwhle, is teased with a poster featuring the team against a starfield backdrop, with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo taking the form of a constellation. This is clearly promising fans that Phil Coulson and his agents will be heading to outer space in the next run, as was hinted at recently in some behind-the-scenes photos.
Next, Freeform’s Cloak and Dagger gets a plug with a poster which sees Tyrone Johnson and Tandy Bowen standing on the rooftop of the Roxxon Corporation, recreating a scene from the show’s trailer. The image reveals that Cloak will live up to his namesake and don his signature flowing robe on the show. Dagger, however, doesn’t look to be suiting up in the comic book character’s gratuitous white outfit, for obvious reasons.
Last but not least, our first poster for Jessica Jones season 2 promises more detective work for Krysten Ritter’s private eye when the hit Netflix show returns. Also notice the purple hue of the image. It’s the show’s signature color, of course, but it also serves as a reminder that David Tennant’s returning as Jessica’s deceased nemesis Kilgrave.
For those attending NYCC, these posters will be available during ticketed signing periods at the event across the weekend.
