In 2006, Portacio returned to his artistic duties at Wildstorm on Wetworks vol. 2, which was being written by Mike Carey. Portacio left the book with issue #6. He also began art duties on the monthly DC Comics series Batman Confidential. On June 9, 2008, it was announced that Portacio would be the new artist on Spawn starting in October 2008 with issue #185, providing pencils with Spawn creator Todd McFarlane returning as co-writer with Brian Holguin as the new creative team. Following his run on Spawn, he has done more work with Marvel. He contributed pencils to Hulk #18 in 2008 and had a run on The Uncanny X-Men. Two pages of Portacio and Arthur Adams' Longshot were up for auction in the 2021 April 1 – 4 Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction in Dallas, where the starting prices were $2,600 and $6,250, respectively. In July 2021, Marvel announced that Portacio was one of the various Asian artists for the book Marvel's Voices: Identity #1, in which he would contribute the art for the character Wave (Pearl Pangan).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Your First Look Inside 'Marvel's Voices: Identity #1 |url=https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/first-look-marvels-voices-identity-1-preview-pages |website=Marvel Entertainment |language=en}}</ref> Bibliography DCAuthority, vol. 2, #14 (2004)Authority, vol. 3, #6 (2005)Batman Confidential #1–6 (2007)Batman: Gotham Knights (Batman Black and White) #47 (2004)Coup D'Etat: The Authoritiy (2004)Eye of the Storm Annual #1 (2003)Stormwatch: Team Achilles #1–10 (2002–03)Superman/Batman #57–59 (2009)Wetworks vol. 2, #1–6 (2006–07) Image/Top CowArtifacts, limited series, #5–8 (2011)Darkness #84 (2010)Deathmate #Black (among other artists) (1993)Non Humans, miniseries, #1–4 (2012–13)Image United #1–3 (2009–2010)Spawn #185–192, 194–195, 197 (2008–2009)Stone #1–4 (1998–1999)Stone, vol. 2 #1–4 (1999–2000)Tales of the Darkness #1–2 (1998)Wetworks vol. 1, #1–9, 11–12, 14 (1994–96) MarvelDaredevil Annual #5 (1989)Deadpool: Black, White & Blood #1 (2021) Hulk, vol. 3, #18 (2009) Incredible Hulk, vol. 3, #2 (along with Marc Silvestri and Billy Tan), 4–7 (2011–12) Iron Man, vol. 2, #1–3, 6-8, 11 (1996–97) Journey into Mystery #628-629, 631 (2011) Legion of Night #1–2 (1991) Major X #3 (2019) Marvel's Voices: Identity #1 (2021) New Avengers, vol. 2, #18 (2011) Prelude to Deadpool Corps, miniseries, #2 (2010) Power Pack #46 (1989) Punisher #8–18 (1988–89) Strange Tales (Cloak & Dagger) #12 (1988) Strikeforce: Morituri #1, 10, 16 (1986–88) Stryfe's Strike File, one-shot (among other artists) (1993) Uncanny X-Men (full
