Capullo also included the following note: “I’m OFFICIALLY back at Marvel. I just signed my contract today. Let’s go!!!”

Marvel had previously teased Capullo’s return to the company by revealing the covers he created featuring Deadpool and Wolverine. Marvel even surprised retailers with a free variant of Wolverine #37 drawn by Capullo earlier this year. Now Capullo’s work at Marvel is going to the next level as he is working on stories for Marvel’s “First Family.”

Capullo’s career began at Marvel Comics in the 1990s, where he worked on titles such as Quasars AND What if…?. The “What if…?” the story actually involved the Fantastic Four and asked, “What if the Fantastic Four lost the trial against Galactus?” He also worked X-Forceincluding the popular chapters X-Men crossover “X-Cutioner’s Song” and “Fatal Attractions”.

After working with Marvel, Capullo moved to Image Comics where he worked Todd McFarlane ON To produce. He then launched the creator-owned series, The Creech. He subsequently landed at DC Comics where he collaborated with Scott Snyder on the relaunch of The New 52 Batman. Capullo was at DC for a decade, where he continued his fantastic work on the Batman and Dark Nights event series.

Marvel Comics has wanted to have Capullo back for a long time. The artist had already said in the Mark Millar Time podcast. “Marvel has always approached me, I often run into CB (Cebulski, Marvel’s editor-in-chief). I said just to start, you know, we’ll do a project but I’ll do some covers. I discussed ‘A particular project because I’m 60 now, I don’t want to do series anymore. I told everyone. DC, Marvel, whoever, three to six issue series and that’s it. I can’t keep getting stuck because I want to do some things before I hang up my pencil. My intention is to do some covers while I’m working on Creech, do a project with Marvel, and then what happens next, not I’m sure. I’ve been talking to Scott about an original idea I have, we’ll probably do something like that sometime.”

And, well…now he’s back at Marvel Comics.
