Marvel Rivals: The Cities of Heaven #1

Marvel Rivals: The Cities of Heaven #1 kicks off this 2026 series with a cover by Nico Leon that immediately sets a vivid, high-energy tone. Front and center stands a confident young woman with a striking black-and-white hairstyle, leather jacket, and a boba tea in hand, while chaos erupts around her — a red-clad combatant wielding electric batons clashes in the background as a winged, armored figure blazes through the sky with a golden energy beam, and even a small raccoon-like character peeks out from the crowd below. With Paul Allor writing and art from Michael Shelfer, Eric Gapstur, and colorist Dee Cunniffe bringing it all to life, this opener promises a world where celestial rivalries and street-level cool collide in spectacular fashion.
