Wall of Marvel Extension

Inspired by the feeling of entering a comic book store and being awed by the gorgeous artwork, this extension displays twelve of Marvel's latest comic covers each time you open a new tab. The selection of artwork is updated once per day.

Thanks to Waylan Sands for helping me with creating the icon. Thanks to Marvel for generously providing an API. This product is free and will always be free - I do not make money from this extension in any way. Data and artwork provided by Marvel. © 2016 Marvel
