April 23rd 2026 Lost in Cult are back with another entry in their Design Works book series that deliver in-depth looks at beloved gaming titles with artwork and interviews. Revealed last week, the next title is for those that follow The Lamb and game developer Massive Monster, with Cult of the Lamb: Design Works! The book available for pre-order now and is expected to release in early 2027, delivering the development history and artwork of Cult of the Lamb, perfect for fans that don't want the indoctrination to end with just the game. The book features approximately 200 pages and comes as a softcover, with different options available on Lost in Cult's website. The book is authored by Zoe Delahunty-Light who explores how the game came to fruition alongside interviews with the creators, as well as how Cult of the Lamb has continued to grow its following since its release in 2022 with multiple expansions. As with other releases in the Design Works series, this is not an artbook, but artwork and screenshots are featured heavily alongside the written text, covering all aspects of what it takes to bring life to this unique title. That means a look at the charming cartoon-style visuals seen throughout the game, even when cruelly sacrificing dissenters of your flock. Continuing the tradition with the series, a Deluxe Edition is also available for £124.99 and can be ordered up until June 16th. This version includes the standard edition of Cult of the Lamb: Design Works with these added extras; A presentation box with a magnetic clasp Tarot Card Deck Bookmark Fabric patches Art prints A poster Knucklebones game Fans will have noticed the physical Knucklebones set that is included in the Deluxe Edition, as it is a dice game within the world of Cult of the Lamb. This is also available to order separately for £39.99 and comes with dice, a playing board, and a dice tray, making it another great way to show your devotion to the Lamb with another physical release in your collection. A trailer for Cult of the Lamb: Design Works was released on YouTube and can be seen below. Cult of the Lamb is a humorous, yet dark, action roguelike that combines dungeon crawling, base-building, and cult management. You control the Lamb, who after being sacrificed, is brought back to life and tasked with building a loyal cult in the name of the deity that saved you. Massive Monster and publisher Devolver Digital released the game on August 11th 2022, winning over players with its distinctive art style, fast-paced combat, and strategy elements. It quickly became a commercial success, selling over one million copies within its first week and more than 3.5 million copies within its first year, as well as going on to win multiple awards. Lost in Cult is always announcing new products, with Citizen Sleeper 2: Design Works being the previous reveal in their catalogue of Design Works books.

April 15th 2026 *Update April 21st 2026 Since posting the story, more members of the Visual Development team have confirmed on social media that they have been let go by Disney. Artists Ian Joyner, Jana Schirmer, and Joshua James Shaw have shared publicly that they are no longer at Marvel Studios. They had all worked on multiple projects. More artists have been affected, but confirmation of who has not yet been made public. It was predicted at the time of reporting that Andy Park, the Director of Visual Development, would likely remain, but he has also posted that he has been laid off as well, but will stay for a few more months before leaving, as per his Instagram post. Head of Visual Development Ryan Meinerding, who has worked with Marvel since the first Iron Man, will remain to oversee future teams. The original story can be read below. Unfortunate news hit this week, as Disney laid off around 1000 members of staff across multiple divisions, including the entire Disney Home Entertainment team and the reason for this article, the Marvel Studios Visual Development department. Given how often I speak on the artbooks from the studio, from announcements and updates, to previews and reviews, it wasn’t something I could ignore here from the perspective of both what has happened, but also the future of the books. Marvel Studios is unlike most other studios in that it has an in-house team of artists working for them full time, while most would hire people on a contract for a single movie. This does happen elsewhere, such as Lucasfilm, and they also use contractors as well, but the core team was what helped make the Marvel Cinematic Universe special and build a well-developed universe. As of Tuesday the 14th of April that has changed, because it is now the case that only a skeleton crew remains, as reported by Forbes. This is a part of The Walt Disney Company's larger wave of layoffs to "streamline operations", seen in a memo from CEO Josh D'Amaro. Artist credit page for Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie Not all of the details are public of course, including who remains, why those people were selected, and how this will change their approach going forward. Some of this we will never know, but for the biggest franchise in cinema to be laying off the people that helped bring the characters and worlds from the comics to the screen, things cannot be good. It is important to note though, that they will still be using artists, possibly some of the same ones, but on a film-by-film basis, as opposed to working full-time on the team. Forbes does report that sources say that is it down to Marvel Studios’ reduction in their production slate, but given that the team has existed for over 10 years, in which a lot of that time had only a couple of movies released per year, that doesn’t seem to make sense from an outside perspective. An in-house team was being spoken about as early as the pre-production of Captain America: The First Avenger and really came into place around the time they were working on Avengers and Iron Man 3, as revealed by the head of the department Ryan Meinerding in his book, Marvel Studios: The Art of Ryan Meinerding (preview pages below). This is not to say that the release schedule slowing down is not a contributing factor, but it would suggest there is more at play. Concept art for the end of the Multiverse Saga is likely finished, confirmed unfortunately by leaked artwork for the upcoming Avengers movies back in March of 2025. It may be that what has been dubbed ‘The Mutant Saga’, the next phase after Avengers: Secret Wars, will be approached differently, but this can only be speculated on. What is also speculation is who is left on the team. This could be revealed in the future, though it is likely the case that the Head of Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding, and the Director of Visual Development, Andy Park, are still at the studio as part of the ‘skeleton crew’. Beyond that it is hard to say, but we do know the talented Wesley Burt is one of the artists let go through the social media post below, sharing that his layoff meeting was done in a room that has his own artwork on the walls. Burt worked on Eternals, Loki Season Two, Avengers: Endgame, Thunderbolts, Deadpool & Wolverine, and more. It’s a tough time for artists across all disciplines, from concept and 3D artists, to illustrators and animators, with layoffs and closures happening endlessly over the last few years. Video game talent has suffered a lot, because they work as permanent in-house employees unlike most teams that work on movies. However, we can assume it would be just as bad in Hollywood if they worked in the same way, as seen this week with Marvel Studios. The economy, poor decision making, inflated budgets, and the increasingly dangerous use of AI is having a large impact, so it is depressing to know that more bad news is certainly coming for more people. A preview of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie As for the future of the artbooks for Marvel Studios' projects, it’s tough to say, even as someone that reports on and owns all of them. The books are fantastic celebrations and showcases of the artist’s work, sharing early designs, unused concepts, and insights from the creatives behind the pieces shown and the movies too. I want to say they will continue, because they included work from contractors in the past, so there is no reason for that to change going forward. As I reported in the reveal for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday – The Art of the Movie, the publisher seems to be backtracking on the series, which went from a standard hardcover, to a slipcase format, a 'Deluxe Edition', and now back again for their next two entries. This was great news, because the prices went from $60 to $150, which was simply unreasonable for the average fan. Now they are coming with an RRP of $50 and arrive just days after the movies release and that’s excellent news, but in light of these layoffs, could this be them winding down and stopping entirely? I like to think not, however we can only wait and see given the lack of marketing and communication from Marvel for the books, despite how good they are. Outside of the Marvel published books, it was only a days ago that Tara Bennett, the author of Marvel Studios: The Art of Ryan Meinerding from Abrams Books, said on social media that more artbooks for other artists could be possible if enough people bought the first book. It’s another opportunity for printed works for the movies and shows to come to fruition, but this recent news may make that very difficult. Future news on Marvel Studios' artbooks will be reported here, and those interested can read reviews for some of the series below, including the re-releases of the Infinity Saga books from Titan Books, which come highly recommended if you missed out on the earlier titles. Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga – Black Panther: The Art of the Movie Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga – Thor: Ragnarok – The Art of the Movie Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps – The Art of the Movie Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga – Spider-Man: Homecoming – The Art of the Movie Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The Art of the Movie Marvel Studios' Loki: Season Two - The Art of the Series Marvel Studios’ The Infinity Saga – Doctor Strange: The Art of the Movie Marvel Television's Agatha All Along: The Art of the Series I wanted to end by saying that this site was made and is run by just myself, a collector in the UK, wanting to share news and reviews like no one else does, something I believe I have been doing and for that I am proud. It’s a small site as artbooks are very niche, but it’s found some traction among fellow geeks and art lovers. Expanding is always at the back of my mind, and while this isn’t the type of story I hoped to begin with, it seemed appropriate to spread my wings a bit and talk about wider news. I’m not a trained journalist, but you have to start somewhere and so I hope you found this interesting and enjoy the website. I wish that all artists hit with layoffs land on their feet and find a way to continue sharing their artwork and help to build the worlds we love.

April 10th 2026 On The Artbook Collector YouTube channel I have shared a look at the 2020 release for the critically acclaimed side-scroller, with The Art of Cuphead ! Released in 2020 by publisher Dark Horse, this hardcover book explores the artwork and insights of Studio MDHR's rubber hose style 2D shooter. Cuphead was widely praised for its vintage art style, one that even got it adapted into an animated series, so an artbook was inevitable. The 264-page book can be previewed below! The 1930's hand-drawn animation style was unique to video game when Cuphead was released, which is explored in the artbook through the early sketches and concepts for the characters, bosses, and stages. Final designs and painted background are also showcased, alongside insights from the developers with a look at their process. Following the release of this book, two more were published by Dark Horse in 2024. First was The Art of the Cuphead Show , based on the Netflix animated series on September 3rd. Next was a look at the base game's DLC with The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course . You can check out their book pages for video previews of those as well. Cuphead  is a run-and-gun platformer published in September 2017 and loved for its 1930s cartoon-inspired visuals and tough difficulty. It follows brothers Cuphead and Mugman who must repay the Devil by taking on challenging bosses. The hand-drawn animation, jazz music, and precise, fast-paced gameplay made it a huge hit, despite requiring a lot of perseverance. Cuphead  sold over one million copies within two weeks and more than six million copies worldwide within a few years, making it one of the most successful indie games released.

April 10th 2026 The Mad Dogs are back! After ending in 2022, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been missed by its fans, leaving them wanting more from Raph, Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and the rest of the cast. Fortunately, the wait for that is over, as a look back at Rise and its artwork is now here with The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The book was made by Colin Stein and IDW Publishing with a release date of April 14 th  2026, giving fans the chance to celebrate this take on the Turtles with a new addition to their shelf. A copy has joined the collection here, so I can give my thoughts and share some previews of the new release! Build Quality The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes as a 23.5cm x 31cm hardcover, delivering 320 pages of content inside. The paper is gloss and a little thinner than found in other books, but it’s high quality and is a great choice for a release with so many pages. The spreads open with ease and the binding feels secure, which isn’t always the case with thicker paper when you cross 300 pages, so it’s a thoughtful move. The print quality is also excellent and allows the bright colours used in Rise to pop as well. It’s what you hope for with an artbook and I’m happy to say IDW delivered. Content I could make this a long review, because despite coming with a large page count, there is still so much packed in to each spread. Animated shows and movies inherently have a lot of art to showcase (it’s what they are made up of after all!), but the variety and amount here makes it an impressive volume that fans will no doubt appreciate. It opens with a foreword from Rise co-creators Andy Suriano and Ant Ward, as well as Colin Stein, the author, curator, and designer of the book, each sharing what the show means to them. This leads to the ‘Pre-production’ chapter that has the co-creators sharing their early journey and how Rise came to be. Here you learn about the goals of the show, making it visually distinct, and more, alongside early concept art and animation frames. This is expected in a book like this, but it’s wonderfully executed and a fun read. As always, I don’t review the art itself, it’s very subjective after all, but it’s something that stands out for this version of the TMNT as seen throughout the book, even in the early sketches. The bold style that uses sharper edges, strong line art, vibrant background colours, and unique character designs, all made it an interesting visual take on the iconic franchise. This is displayed throughout the pages that does a great job at highlighting pieces that show both this and the talent of the artists. It goes without saying that if you enjoyed the art style of the show and movie, you’ll love what you see here too. This brings me to my favourite chapter, ‘The Rise Style Guide’. This stood out because it’s look at the cheat sheets and drawing guides for the show and for individual characters that will get a lot of people reaching for a pencil. While these get included a little in other books, here it is taken a step further with a look at line weights, background lighting, texture brushes, and tips on the anatomy and shading for the Turtles. These are specific to Rise which is what I like most, not just a generic ‘How to draw’, but rather their own rules and guides that may break those of the real world, but helped create something special with the show. The ‘Mad Dogs’ chapter look at the Turtles, April O’Neil, and Splinter, diving into their designs with insights from Suriano, Ward, and the voice actors. It’s a good way to set up the biggest chunk of the book too, the episodes of the show. Here there is a mixture of artwork, from sketches and early concepts to final designs and storyboards, making the pages fun to look at and highlights unique elements to each episode. Other characters and elements get the spotlight here, as well as the Turtles eccentric costumes and some animation drawings, all of which I enjoyed seeing on the pages together. Alongside this, there are details from the writers that break down what the episodes featured, their thoughts about it, influences, and more. These aren’t just generic notes, they give fans interesting insights that make this more than an artbook, but a true deep dive into the show at all levels. ‘The Movie’ chapter takes what the book shared previously and combines it for the feature film, sharing the early development through to its final scene, with both written details from the creators and the work of the artists. It also includes cut and alternative scenes through storyboards, an element I always love to see in artbooks. The approach here for the show and movie feels well thought out, taking time to cover everything in enough detail to allow those that enjoyed Rise to experience it again in a new way. It would have been easier to combine art for the characters, locations, and assets for the show as a whole across its pages, but separating them out to detail each episode through to the 2022 film really raised the bar. It doesn’t end there though, because sadly Rise was ended early, but some of what wasn’t created is highlighted in the ‘Lost Episodes & Beyond’ chapter. With less artwork as expected, it’s still a brilliant way to give a description of the episodes that were cut and share some early storyboards as well. Fans always love to see what didn’t come to fruition, making this another highlight of The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The book ends with a look at the comic book covers and interior pages of the 40th Anniversary comic, again making this the ultimate celebration of Rise for those that loved its world. This is all a very impressive approach to exploring Rise , likely in large part because Colin Stein is a superfan himself, so he could really get as much as he could into the book while targeting fellow fans. The insights and the huge amount of artwork is well balanced throughout. There is so much to pore over, but the space given to the creators, artists, writers, and voice actors, still allows for meaningful details that you won’t want to skip. Credits Credits are shared on some of the pages, especially for the storyboards, with some others scattered here and there. With so much included, fitting them all onto each page for each piece would have been difficult as you can see in the previews. Although this is the preferred approach, the creatives are still all celebrated at the end of the book and that’s great to see. Use of Space One of the strongest aspects of The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is how it makes the most of the space inside without feeling cluttered. Most spreads feature a lot of artwork and this can either become overwhelming or formulaic, but here the page layouts vary and art gets room to breathe without awkward placements of the images or text. The paper choice and binding help here too, as everything is visible near the centre and the few pieces of art that do cross the fold have minimal image loss. All of this is a huge win for the book. Value The pricing of the book is another positive for fans, as it comes with an RRP of $39.99 or £36, lower than most artbooks, and given the large page count, build quality, and sheer amount of content, this is a great price for the book. Collector’s are typically looking at $45-$60 for an artbook in 2026, so coming in under that makes this very easy to recommend from a value perspective. As always though, I compare prices on Amazon to see what you can order the book for, which is even lower at the time of writing this, the week before its release. In the US it is 7% off and in the UK it is under £30 at a huge 27% off. It was already a fantastic deal at full price, making anything lower a steal and that is already the case for bargain hunters out there. Verdict Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have ended, but this book is a love letter to the show that adds to its legacy and gives people more to enjoy from its world. It delivers on all fronts with a wealth of art and its bold visual flair, a look at the early designs, and engaging details from the minds behind it, all wrapped up in a well-made and designed book. This rich volume of art is the perfect companion to the show, while also sharing what you didn’t get to see on-screen, cementing it as a release that deserves its place on your shelf.

April 5th 2025 The award-winning global hit KPop Demon Hunters is getting shown more love later this year, as more fans will have the chance to see the art behind its incredible visuals following the news that The Art of Kpop Demon Hunters is getting a full retail release. The 144-page hardcover has appeared on Amazon US and Canada, with more listings expected to begin appearing elsewhere, and it is set to arrive on September 8th 2026. The book is being publishing by Random House Worlds with an RRP of $40, a little lower than the pricing for many artbooks, but this is perhaps reflective of the lower page count. Prior to this, the The Art of KPop Demon Hunters was made available online for free in a generous move by Gallery Nucleus, which can still be viewed here . Physical copies were also sold directly from their website as a paperback, making this new retail version an improvement with an upgrade to a hardcover. Page preview Inside readers are treated to a look concept art for the characters, costumes, locations, keyframes, weapons, and more, sharing a look at the movie through the early ideas to final artwork. Alongside this, interviews from the creatives are also found to add more insights into what it took to create a cultural hit, with the book authored by Tracey Miller-Zarneke. I previously noted in my report when the free version was shared that it is unusual for an artbook to be fully accessible with no charge, becoming even more unique now that the book is getting a full retail release. Previews are fantastic for getting more people interested in an artbook and those that enjoyed it on the screen can now add a physical copy their shelf. I also mentioned that it was odd it wasn't getting a mass market release, so it is great to see that is now happening. Check out more previews in the slideshow below; KPop Demon Hunters was released on Netflix in 2025 and surpassed 500 million views before the end of that year, making it the most streamed movie of 2025. It has since gone on to win a huge list of awards, including Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The animated movie follows the popular K-pop girl group 'Huntrix', who are secretly demon hunters when not performing on stage. It combines high intensity action, a creative style, catchy music, and inventive choreography, making it a powerhouse of visuals and storytelling that led it to becoming hugely popular. An artbook was therefore inevitable for the movie and the reveal that it will become more widely available is sure to excite it's many viewers. For those interested in The Art of KPop Demon Hunters , you can order the book below and check out the free look to enjoy its contents ahead of its September 8th release date.

April 4th 2026 Avengers: Doomsday is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, marking the beginning of the end for the Multiverse Saga within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unsurprisingly, an artbook is on the way as well, continuing the long running series that began in 2008 with Iron Man . Reintroducing Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom through concept art, Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday - The Art of the Movie arrives this December along with the movie. Spotted on retailer listings with the above placeholder cover, including on Amazon US , it is set to arrive on December 22nd, just 4 days after the movie hits the big screen. The 224-page hardcover book currently has no description, which is somewhat unusual for the publisher, but also expected. When Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie was revealed in the same way earlier this year, the description gave away the movie's plot synopsis, so this is very likely Marvel avoiding the same issue again. As mentioned in that report, the short wait is newer for Marvel artbooks, who have taken between 3 months to years after each project to release them, but Brand New Day and now Avengers: Doomsday are taking just days. Whether this will stick remains to be seen, as they have delayed or cancelled the last 27 books in a row. However, the fact this is the target is a least a great sign that Marvel are trying to strike when the iron is hot and get the books onto the shelves of more fans. The price is also note worthy, as it will be $50, continuing the change in direction seen with Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie . The artbook for The Fantastic Four: First Steps was $150, a steep price for even the most dedicated fans and was a one and done for Marvel, following a handful of prior releases were at an already high $100 to add a slipcase. It could be this was too damaging for sales, so Marvel have reversed course and gone back to releasing the series without a slipcase to sell more copies, even dropping from the previous $60 to $50 to stay competitive, a huge win for collectors and those that love the movies. Inside we can expect the usual superb artwork from the visual development team, who have been instrumental in helping shape the MCU since it began 18 years ago with Iron Man . Concept artists like Ryan Meinerding, Andy Park, Rodney Fuentebella, Wesley Bert, Karla Ortiz, and many, many more, get wonderful showcases in these books, often getting to share some insights through interviews as well. There may not be a description, but it's not needed this far along into the series, because we know we can expect concepts for characters, costumes, locations, technology, and more, with excellent page design and artist credits throughout. Marvel are making moves to get their 'Art of' series back on track after the long waits and high prices that have troubled them since the Multiverse Saga began. It's hard to maintain a high quality with dozens of books in the series, but they have done it so far and so if they can hit this date for Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday - The Art of the Movie , it will no doubt be a big seller. If you are new to the books and don't know what to expect, you can check out a preview of Marvel Studios' The Fatastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie below. A preview of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie Future updates will be reported here, and those interested can read reviews for the series below, including the re-releases of the Infinity Saga books from Titan Books, which come highly recommended if you missed out on the earlier titles.

March 31st 2026 Players wanting more from the most recent adventure in the world of Hyrule will be able to get a huge volume of art and insights later this year, as publisher Dark Horse are back in partnership with Nintendo to publish ' The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—Secrets of the Zonai '. The upcoming book is set to be released on October 20th 2026 and comes as a hefty shelf-filler, delivering 472 pages of artwork and behind the scenes details for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom . The 9"x12” hardcover has an RRP of $59.99 and pre-orders will begin to go live very soon following the announcement that happened today on social media from Dark Horse. It will be broken up into four parts, starting with 50 pages of illustrations, character art, and promotional images, before sharing 300 pages of sketches, rough designs, concept art, storyboards, and more, all highlighting the visual journey of the game's creation. Despite these two sections already being larger than most artbooks, it will then treat fans to over 80 pages of the history of Hyrule and the Zonai, then ending with interviews with Producer Eiji Aonuma, Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and Art Director Satoru Takizawa for more insights. For those wanting a little extra, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—Secrets of the Zonai Hero’s Edition will also be available and includes a lush green slipcase, an exclusive cover, a cloth map of the Depths, an art print, and a replica of the Secret Stone of Time. A preview of what's included can be seen below, giving the hardcore fans some extra goodies to show off on their shelf. If the 472-page hardcover alone isn't enough, the Hero's Edition retails for $119.99 and can be found here . The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom  was released on the Nintendo Switch in 2023 and follows the gaming icon Link as he works to protect Hyrule from the return of a powerful evil. Using with new abilities to manipulate objects in the world, fuse weapons, and traversing both sky islands and the depths below, he slowly pieces together the kingdom’s forgotten history as he once again looks to save Princess Zelda. The game mixes open-ended exploration, puzzle solving, and combat to give players freedom as they bring balance to a fractured world. The game went on to sell over 20 million copies, making it another (unsurprising) hit in the franchise. This is an exciting opportunity for fans of The Legend of Zelda series to add more artwork to their collection when the book arrives on October 20th and Dark Horse being one of the biggest publishers of video game artbooks is always a great sign for any release. Of the three first-party console publishers, Nintendo is historically lacking in artbooks compared to PlayStation and Xbox, so any volume of art and insights is always exciting for collectors and owners of the consoles. The standard edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom—Secrets of the Zonai can be ordered below and those outside of the US can also expect listings to appear very soon as retailers allow pre-order pages to go live. Future updates will also be reported here as they happen. Buy Here Tags; #DarkHorse #Nintendo #TheLegendOfZelda #TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom

April 7th 2025 Marvel Studios have been releasing artbooks for their movies and shows since the first Iron Man back in 2008. Now, we have confirmation that another book is coming, this time for Daredevil: Born Again . Though there is no official listing yet, it was safe to say this would be coming following the popularity of the show. The artists at Marvel Studios had already revealed concept art for Matt Murdock's appearance in She-Hulk , but new art for White Tiger from artist Jackson Sze has also come with news that a book is indeed on the way. White Tiger concept art by Jackson Sze The concept art shared on Jackson Sze's Instagram can be seen above and the comment on the post from the artist ended with the following; "This and more concept art from # daredevilbornagain can be seen in the upcoming artbook for the show." It is likely that the title of the book will be 'Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again - The Art of the Series', in keeping with other releases from the studio. A publication date is harder to predict, because books are expected to be delayed at this point by Marvel, as that has happened to every single one since Endgame so far. If it was based on the release of the artbook for Agatha All Along on June 3rd, nine months after that show first aired, it could be as late as December. Pricing is also a point of contention with future artbooks from Marvel that people should be made aware of. Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie is listed at $150, a huge amount of money and a big jump of an addition $50 for a mere 32 extra pages compared to their other already expensive listings. If this is the new standard pricing, be prepared to pay a premium for this one too. You can read more about the concern reading the increase here . This will be the first artbook for the MCU's Daredevil, but not the first planned. Many years ago, there were listings online for a Daredevil and a Jessica Jones slipcase book. They were set to match the releases of both the movie artbooks and the Declassified books for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter. However, after multiple delays, they were eventually removed from listings and quietly cancelled. This upcoming release will finally give fans and collectors the chance to own a dedicated showcase of art for Daredevil, Wilson Fisk, and the rest of the characters. Though this is not what you could call an 'official' reveal of the book, Marvel themselves have historically not revealed them like most publishers. Typically, the books enter public knowledge through retailer listings, but I would personally consider this a much more official reveal, given that Jackson Sze is the Visual Development Supervisor and has worked on the MCU since the first Avengers movie more than 10 years ago. When more is known about the Daredevil: Born Again artbook, as well as others from Marvel Studios, details will be reported here.

March 20th 2026 Pix'n Love have now officially announced their partner for the English version of the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 artbook, following its release in French last year. The translated version of the book comes by way of Udon Entertainment and is titled ' The Art of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ', giving more player a chance to enjoy the artwork behind the hit game. The original book, ' L'art de Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ', was released by Pix'n Love in December of 2025 in French and authored by Marine Macq, highlighting the artwork and insights from developer Sandfall Interactive for their award-winning RPG. At the time, they said they would be announcing partners for translated editions of the book, and while some were made for languages like Chinese and Spanish last year, players have been waiting patiently for the English edition. That reveal came on social media today from Pix'n Love and Udon, with the book set to arrive on November 25th 2026. To add to the good news, not only is the 352-page standard edition being released, but the 'Alicia Collector's Edition' is as well, allowing fans to pick up a limited edition copy of the book. Like the original, it will include the following; The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 book featuring an exclusive cover illustration printed in Pantone Gold and a cardboard slipcase in Alicia’s colors. A die-cut premium cardboard box. A gold-colored metal medallion. A cardboard folio containing 10 lithographs on textured paper. An individually numbered metal plaque. Dedicated packaging. Both version will be available to pre-order on Monday, March 23rd, with US orders being handled by Udon Entertainment here , and European orders by Pix'N Love here . Pricing for the US is not yet available, with copies in Europe coming in at €39.90 for the standard edition and €89,90 for the Alicia Collector's Edition. This is fantastic news for people that have been waiting eagerly for their chance to add a copy of the book to their shelf and it will no doubt be the most popular version of the book. It is odd this wasn't ready sooner and still won't be released until almost a year after the French edition, but the artbook looks fantastic, so will be worth the wait for those wanting more from the game. There are things to take note of though, due to how it is being released. In the US or Canada, ordering from Udon means a delivery that is not outside of the norm, as they are based in America. However, those in Europe must order from Pix'n Love, who are based in France, and this will add steep delivery costs. Having ordered The Art of Jusant: The Great Expedition for the collection here last year, I was hit with a shipping cost of €20.66/ £17.92, which was half the price of the book. That is to ship to the UK that is just a stones throw away, it could be more now based on rising costs alone, but also more depending on where people are based and which version you pre-order. Udon typically sell their books at retailers, including Amazon, so this is an odd approach that will sting players for more money and limit stock, as seen with the French version that completely sold out. Despite the potential shipping costs, this is a book to get excited about, as the game itself has stunning visuals and made it the perfect release to get the artbook treatment. Pix'n Love have released artbooks in the past that were also authored by Marine Macq, although the text came in both English and French. The Art of Dordogne and The Art of Jusant: The Great Expedition were excellent artbooks, putting this look at Expedition 33 in safe hands. You can read a review of their last artbook release here and check out my preview below. Future updates for the The Art of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be reported here and keep save the links below to place your ore-order for the book on March 23rd!

March 18th 2026 The upcoming artbook for Marvel Studios Animation's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has had its release date updated, pushing it further into the summer. The good news is, it is just a small delay and it is still expected in June 2026. The Art of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man  was first revealed in September 2025 and has already been delayed once before. Like that time, this new change only moves it back by one week, with the book now expected to hit shelved on June 23rd 2026. The upcoming title from Abrams Books still has no official cover art, which is isn't uncommon for Marvel artbooks, but the closer to its release we get without one, the higher the chance that there will be another delay. Typically, if there is no cover art just a month or two out, the date will be moved back, so expect a future update to either of these soon. The Art of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man  will feature concept art, storyboards, animation cels, and more for the series, giving fans a lot of material to pore over. Insights will also be shared by creative team behind the show for added details on how the this take on Spider-Man was created. Abrams Books are the publisher behind the animated artbooks from Marvel Studios, which includes The Art of Marvel Studios’ What If...? from August of 2024 and X-Men ’97: The Art and Making of the Animated Series from July 2025. No news has yet been revealed about future releases from the publisher, including the long overdue artbooks for What If...? seasons 2 and 3, if they will get one that is. You can check out the artbook for X-Men '97 below.

March 18th 2026 Fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have a new artbook to look forward to on April 14th, with the anticipated release of The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! The 320-page hardcover will feature a wealth of artwork and insights, giving people the chance to experience the unique take on the Turtles in a new way. Ahead of its release, I interviewed the book's creator Colin Stein to discuss his experience working on the volume and what we can expect inside. He authored, curated, and designed the book, so was able to share details on how the project began, partnering with IDW Publishing, and the work it took to put together. His love for Rise is clear and it was a great chance to learn more about how some artbooks come to life. Enjoy the interview below! Thanks for speaking with me about your new book, The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! With the April 14th release date is now just around the corner, could you tell us how the idea for this showcase came about? Stein : Thanks for reaching out to me. I’m so excited to talk about it with every Rise and animation fan! The idea came from simply being a life long TMNT and animation fan who loves behind the scenes artbooks. I’m a big fan of TMNT and when Rise of the TMNT  came out, it hit me at just the right time. In 2018, I was working at an advertising agency in Oklahoma City as a graphic designer and motion graphics animator and I was also helping with some VFX on some movies as well. In my freetime, I was making Rise fan-merch. I made a variety of products I wanted to see from Nickelodeon and since no one else was making them, I decided I would. I made stickers, pins, 3D printed cookie cutters, desktop toys, t-shirts, magnets… I even made bath bombs with tiny 3D printed toys inside! Anything I thought would be fun! I had a Patreon, hosted community events, set up giveaways and contests. I put everything into keeping Rise alive! During that time, there were a lot of TMNT projects launching on Kickstarter to great success. I thought maybe I could launch a Rise artbook there but I would still need permission from Paramount/Nickelodeon. I created a pitch deck with a detailed Kickstarter plan and sent it to everyone I could. Eventually, it got in front of the right people. They set up a meeting and I didn’t even have to pitch my plan! They already wanted to make an artbook and I was telling them I wanted to do it. It was a classic right place at the right time. With everything I’ve done and given to the fandom, it was fitting that I would be the one who got to make the official Rise art book. Sounds like a culmination of your love of the show! What was it like working with the team behind the series and getting access to the artwork that helped create it? Stein : Working with everyone from Paramont, Nickelodeon, IDW, and the crew of Rise was fantastic! Everyone was so supportive and helpful when trying to make this book. Nobody wanted me to fail and I didn’t want to let anyone down. I worked with so many people to make this book, I can’t thank them enough for their time. Including but not limited to; Ant Ward, Russ Carney, Ron Corcillo, Tony Gama-Lobo, JJ Conway, Ian Busch, Jesse Gordon, Dale Malinowski, and so many others! Thank you to all of you! And of course, this book couldn’t have been made without the series co-creator Andy Surinao. He was the art director of the series and had all the art we needed to do this. Without him, Rise wouldn’t be what it was! This book couldn’t have been possible without him not only because of his art, not just because he preserved the files, but because he took a chance on me. He believed I could do this and I hope I lived up to that. This is not only a love letter to him but also to the many people who poured their hearts into the little series that could.   The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles  has " by Colin Stein " on the cover, highlighting that you not only authored the book, but also curated the content and designed its pages. It’s also the first book you have released, which must have made it an exciting and challenging task. Can you share what it was like putting the book together and how long it took? Stein : We’ll never know how exactly many hours this took to make this but I do know it took years to create. I am not the same Colin as I was when I started. This was my life, my passion, my great white whale! I spent all day and all night making this. The days blurred into weeks, weeks became months. I was working 7 days a week doing 12, 18, 20 hour days and nothing else! I’ve never worked harder for anything in my life and gave everything to make this dream come true. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles  was a bold take on the iconic franchise that lends itself well to an artbook. As a fan yourself, what were some of the highlights of working on this release? Stein : I’ve been so scared about this whole thing. There’s a balance between getting people excited but I also don’t want to reveal too much. I want there to be surprises for fans when they flip the pages for the first time but I also want people to see what they’re getting. I’ve been working on this for years, I’m just ready for it to get out there! On December 24th, 2024, the art book listing was leaked on Twitter! People were freaking out and so was I! Many people didn’t even think it was real because my name was on the listing. I wasn’t going to tell them it was real, I was under an NDA! Each time there was a new piece of information, that was a highlight. The listing leak, the cover reveal, the Amazon listing page, the page previews. Each day we’re closer and closer to this being released to everyone to have! Leaks can be a nightmare, but no doubt fans were very excited at the time. What were the most surprising or challenging aspects to creating an artbook? Stein : Art books are so different from project to project, no 2 art books are the same. Each has a unique layout and style. When it comes to the commentary/script, it was really hard trying to figure out what I needed from the writers. I needed them to tell me their stories of working on the show but me trying to ask them was difficult for me to articulate. We all know what we want to read from an art book but when you sit down to think about what you need to create said art book, that’s a challenge. They hadn’t worked on Rise in years so opening up old folders and recounting old stories was hard for them to do. They were all so incredibly patient with me and I can’t thank them enough for helping me through that.   The previews show a great mix of content, from concepts to final artwork, alongside insights from the creative team. What was the goal when you started the book, and did this change at all as you were curating the art and putting the pages together? Stein : The ultimate goal was to archive the series the best way we could. Taking an amazingly animated series like Rise and condensing it into a print format is definitely a challenge. Many of Rise ’s fanbase are artists so I wanted to show those fans some internal production assets so that they can learn how to draw Rise from the crew themselves. Some people like early concepts and others like final production assets, but I also wanted to cover storyboard artists too. I did my best to try to keep everyone in mind, from animators to writers. The first mock-ups are a landscape format but I learned I needed more space so a portrait layout allowed that. The original product listing said it was 240 pages but I had so much to put into this book, we ended up with 320 pages! It’s safe to say, it changed a lot from original concepts. The book is a great opportunity for fans to dive back into the world of the Turtles, even more so with the page count increasing that much. Is there anything you included that you are most looking forward to people discovering? Stein : Rise ’s original run was cut short by 13 episodes in the second season. It’s an incredible story of how the crew shifted to finish their story before it was over. Other shows could just stop and let it end but Rise was special. They took their plans and condensed it into a 4 part finale to send the boys off right. Since they had to re-write a series finale much earlier than expected, there’s several stories they never finished. There’s a section in this book dedicated to those lost episodes with synopsis and storyboards. Now that you are adding your own release to the vast world of artbooks, it’s only right that I ask about what you enjoy. What are some of your favourite artbooks and did creating one change how you view them at all? Stein : I love art books and I wish I had more! When I was doing research, I had dozens of art books on my desk, book shelves, tables, chairs, everywhere! All with sticky notes to mark things I wanted to copy and use as reference. The Art of X-Men , Futurama , TMNT (2012), Klaus , Spider-Man: The Game, Into the Spider-Verse , Pixar, Blender Open Movies, Over the Garden Wall , Adventure Time , Airbender , Go Team Venture! , and so many more. But the biggest influence was The Art of DuckTales  (2017) by Ken Plume. That book has so much style and substance at a quality I believe we matched. I want to do a deluxe version of my book like he did! Thanks for taking the time to talk about The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ! To end the interview, what do you hope fans take away from your contribution to the legacy of the show? Stein : It’s incredible to have been able to contribute to the community, fandom, and franchise of TMNT as a whole. My name is on a TMNT book! That’s so cool! I hope fans use this book, I want it to be worn and loved. This book is filled with great art, fantastic stories, and tons of unreleased material you won’t find anywhere else. I hope every Rise fan uses this as a companion piece and falls in love with the series all over again. A big thanks again to Colin for sharing details on the The Art of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and his experience putting together an artbook. It's not often we hear from the people that work on books, so it was nice to learn about one of the ways in which they come to fruition.

March 14th 2026 Fans in the West of the dark fantasy RPG Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty have been left another painful extension to their wait time for a look at the art behind the game, following yet another setback for the upcoming artbook. The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from Udon Entertainment has just suffered its fourth delay and has been pushed back out of April. The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dyansty was first announced for June 2025, but the new date, as spotted on Amazon US  and Barnes and Noble , has the book coming on May 26th 2026, almost a year later. The hardcover from Udon is the English translated edition of the Kadokawa original that was released in Japan in July 2023, meaning that English speakers are close to a three year wait to see enjoy the artwork from developer Team Ninja. The reason for the delay is again unknown, because no public comment is ever made on delays and are only spotted by checking retail websites. As this has happened recently, not all sites have updated their listings either, including Amazon UK who still have it listed for April, so expect more to update the details soon. It is an odd delay when looking in from the outside, because it's a translated edition of a book from 2023, so it was already content complete. It could simply be quality control issues or scheduling conflicts, but as always, we can only speculate without official announcements from the publisher. The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will showcase concept art, 3D models, and illustrations for the characters, enemies, locations, weapons, armour and more, along with written profiles too. Fans of the game will get to explore the work of the team that helped build Wo Long 's fantasy infused period of 184CE, during the time of the Han Dynasty's collapse. The book comes as a hardcover from Udon Entertainment, as opposed to a softcover that came with the original from Kadokawa, which will be a welcome improvement for collectors that care about book preservation. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has had more than 5 million players take on its tough 'soulslike' gameplay, which means there could be a lot of interest in this book. However, the gaming industry and players move on quickly from games no matter how big they are, so it is always reasonable to expect that the longer a book takes to arrive, the less interest there will be. Delays are unfortunately expected in the publishing world, but hopefully this will change in the future for the sake of the people that enjoy books filled with wonderful artwork and the publishers that release them. A copy of The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be joining the collection when it arrives May 26th to be reviewed.
