The Loki Season 2 Artbook Suffers Another Delay from Marvel
March 5th 2025
Once again, Marvel Studios' Loki: Season Two - The Art of The Series has been delayed by Marvel, a running theme for the company, not only with this book, but all of the Marvel Studios artbooks.
It was last listed for May 13th, but has been shifted over 2 months to July 29th, as confirmed by multiple US retailers. Dates in the UK are still yet to change. This delay, like the last, as reported here, is not unexpected as there is still no cover art. An updated cover is often an indicator the book is coming soon, but a placeholder of the Loki logo is still being used.
The release dates for the artbook have been as followed; October 1st 2024 > December 31st 2024 > February 18th 2025 > March 18th 2025 > May 13th 2025 > July 29th 2025. Season 2 of the show debuted on October 5th 2023, so the book is expected to release over a year and half later. This will likely impact sales as people quickly move on from shows, regardless of how popular they are.
This highlights the continued lack of reliability from a company that has been publishing books and comics for over 80 years. I have spoken about Marvel and their awful handling of the books ad nauseam here and on social media, with this being just another example of that.
The last book released was Marvel Studios' She-Hulk: Attorney at Law - The Art of the Series, which was also a victim of heavy delays. The book itself I enjoyed, but nothing in it indicated why the dates would need to be shifted so often, which left it coming out over 2 years after the show.
As previously reported, Marvel Studios' Loki: Season Two - The Art of The Series will have no slipcase, the last of the old format of artbooks. The first artbook to come in this new format was Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine: The Art of the Movie, which is already available as it only received one delay. As expected with all books in the series, it will showcase the concept art for the the characters, settings and more, with insights from the art team throughout.
