Renowned comic book creator Stan Sakai and Bram Stoker Award-winning artist Soo Lee are honoring the legacy of the chart-topping triumph TMNT: The Last Ronin with a captivating spiritual predecessor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The First Ronin.
With the debut issue slashing into comic shops March 2027, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The First Ronin transports readers to 1600s Japan as the fearsome warrior and tactician General Kameyama is facing impossible odds in a great war. When his allies fall and he becomes the last man standing, the tide swiftly changes when four yōkai – supernatural creatures and monsters from Japanese folklore – who resemble humanoid turtles leap to his aid and defeat his foes. But Kameyama’s battle is far from over as the epic yōkai war approaches…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The First Ronin is a showcase of Sakai’s unforgettable impact on the medium, presenting new character designs, writing, page layouts and an entirely new mythology from his rich imagination. Combined with Lee’s astonishing artwork, this is a must-read series for fans of TMNT: The Last Ronin and the visual storytelling that only comics can provide.
The strongest there is has been overtaken by an ancient evil known as the Eldest and transformed into the Infernal Hulk, the most terrifying and twisted version of the Jade Giant in Marvel Comics history. Now, he tears across the Marvel Universe, corrupting heroes and reshaping the world in his monstrous image. This February, behold his final vision as the Marvel Universe faces the full fury of Infernal Hulk in Hulk War: Infernal Rage, a five-issue event series from acclaimed Infernal Hulk creative team Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Nic Klein.
Teased over the last year, the event was officially unveiled at New York Comic Con during the Marvel Comics: House of Ideas panel, including the reveal of the main cover. Johnson spoke about how his entire run had been building towards this monumental conflict and the devastating impact Infernal Hulk’s conquest will unleash on the wider Marvel Universe.
Hulk War: Infernal Rage marks the final act of Johnson and Klein’s Infernal Saga, which began in 2023 with Incredible Hulk #1. Readers can witness the opening salvo of Infernal Hulk’s reign in a series of Infernal Hulk Vs. one-shots, which kicked off last month with Infernal Hulk Vs. Wolverine. Across the five one-shots, Infernal Hulk will assemble the Infernal Avengers, heroes twisted into grotesque, horrifying reflections of themselves, first glimpsed in Comics Giveaway Day’s Amazing Spider-Man #1000/Queen in Black #1 CGD 2026.
The war has arrived.
As the remaining heroes race to find the weapon that could turn the tide, the Infernal Hulk declares the Marvel Universe his new kingdom, spreading his corruption as a battle rages both within and beyond his twisted mind.
Check out Klein’s cover and stay tuned for more Hulk War: Infernal Rage news in the months ahead, including tie-in announcements.

After a devastating Decepticon attack, Bumblebee is stranded on an uncharted planet. Lost in the galaxy, with no way to call for help, the so-called “weakest of all the Autobots” must tackle the biggest mission of his young life. But beneath its surface, this strange planet holds a secret that’s already begun to corrupt and change its indigenous life. Now, the Autobots’ greatest hope must come from the evolution of its most unexpected warrior… if Bee can survive being hunted by the deadliest Decepticon of all!

But when the ground gave way, he fell through history and landed in a valley that shouldn’t exist. Where the Ice Age sits on top of the time of dinosaurs, and at every turn he discovers an era older and hungrier than the last. In a relentless quest to return to his son, Turok must unearth the truth about this hidden world and not lose his grip on a shifting reality that threatens to consume him. Sometimes a dream coming true is a nightmare beyond imagination…
To celebrate this brand-new initiative, a special Skybound Visions ashcan will be available in comic shops on Wednesday, November 11th, providing readers with a sneak peak of character designs and what to expect from all three series in the first slate of Skybound Visions titles.

When Wizards of the Coast released their wide Marvel set for Magic: The Gathering, we noted a lack of mystical characters and guessed we’d be seeing a future release dedicated to them. A game featuring wizards without Marvel’s mystical side of its universe seemed a bit odd. Well, our prediction is now a reality as Wizards of the Coast and Marvel have revealed Magic: The Gathering | Marvel: Darkhold Destiny. In collaboration with Marvel, Marvel: Darkhold Destiny is the first Universes Beyond set created around an original story and setting. The panel also unveiled additional Marvel collaborations coming in 2026 including the Secret Lair Countdown Kit: Marvel’s History of Heroes and Doomsdrop.
MAGIC: THE GATHERING | MARVEL: DARKHOLD DESTINY
The mystical, the mythical, and the mighty come together in Magic: The Gathering | Marvel: Darkhold Destiny. For the first time ever, the teams at Marvel and Magic collaborated to create a brand-new storyline set in the Marvel Universe. This is a new kind of Universes Beyond set. By taking the core elements players love about Magic: The Gathering, the team thoughtfully and strategically expressed those design intentions through the Marvel Universe. The narrative unfolds across nearly 30 dimensions and is centered around four main characters—Doctor Strange, Thor, Hela, and Dormammu. Additionally, a new comic book will be released that showcases this groundbreaking new story. The comic’s first chapter releases digitally and the physical edition releases the week of Darkhold Destiny’s launch, on April 7, 2027.
SECRET LAIR COUNTDOWN KIT: MARVEL’S HISTORY OF HEROES

FIRST LOOK AT DOOMSDROP
Fans also got a sneak peek at the upcoming Doomsdrop. Each drop, inspired by the comics, will predominantly feature Doctor Doom, although fans should expect other special guests from the Marvel Universe.
As announced by Blumhouse during their panel on Friday, October 9 at New York Comic Con, Craig Zobel set to direct the upcoming live-action Something is Killing the Children film. Zobel has directed episodes of The Penguin, American Gods, Outcast, and more, so familiar with not just horror but also adapting comics to live-action.
Something is Killing the Children is the acclaimed horror comic series created by New York Times-bestselling author James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edera. When children begin to go missing in the town of Archer’s Peak, all hope seems lost until a mysterious woman arrives to reveal the terrifying creatures behind the chaos. She alone will destroy them, no matter the cost.
