Spider-Man and Superman Join Forces in April and Marvel Has Revealed the Details!

Posted on by

Following last year’s Deadpool/Batman and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, the first-ever Marvel/DC crossover, Marvel and DC unite again this April in Marvel’s Spider-Man/Superman #1! Like last year’s crossover, fans can look forward to a double-dose of history-making comic book storytelling with DC publishing a separate one-shot, Superman/Spider-Man, in March.

The lead story where Spider-Man and Superman join forces will be written by New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer in his first full-length Marvel Comics story, and drawn by one of Marvel’s most acclaimed artists, Pepe Larraz. In addition, the one-shot will feature various bonus stories by a monumental lineup of industry talent, each co-starring Marvel and DC characters, including a few surprises readers will be talking about for the next fifty years!

Here’s what to expect:

  • THWIP, THWIP AND AWAY! Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz pit SPIDER-MAN and SUPERMAN against LEX LUTHOR and NORMAN OSBORN as their greatest villains exploit some of their greatest weaknesses!
  • In the shadow-laden 1930s, SPIDER-MAN NOIR encounters the original GOLDEN AGE SUPERMAN as told by Dan Slott and Marcos Martin!
  • Geoff Johns delivers his first Marvel story in over 20 years, teaming up with frequent collaborator and fellow superstar Gary Frank! A crisis ensues as the hit creative team bring the Super- and Spider-families against each together at the summons of MYSTERIO…but is their true foe an ally out of control?!
  • SYMBIOTE hordes invade Metropolis as a new War of the Realms ignites in Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman’s epic reunion starring Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor, Wonder Woman and more!
  • Co-creator of STEEL Louise Simonson and artist Todd Nauck hammer out the tale of John Henry Irons’ clash with the HOBGOBLIN.
  • Current Amazing Spider-Man scribe Joe Kelly and artist Humberto Ramos deliver a campus crossover between GWEN STACY and LANA LANG!
  • SPIDER-MAN (MILES MORALES) teams up with SUPERMAN in a tale by Miles’ legendary co-creators, Brian Michael Bendis, who recently made his grand return to Marvel, and Sara Pichelli!
  • And more!

Spider-Man/Superman will include a main cover by Pepe Larraz and an assortment of stunning variant covers by top artists, some of which reflect the one-shot’s bonus stories. Fans can check out variant covers by Sara Pichelli, Walter Simonson, Greg Capullo, Marcos Martin, Ryan Stegman, Peach Momoko, Erik Larsen, Jerome Opeña, and Russell Dauterman along with a wraparound cover by Kaare Andrews and a Foil Cover by Mark Bagley. A Logo Mash-Up Variant Cover will also be available as well as covers by Ivan Talavera, E.M. Gist, Adam Hughes, Skottie Young, Frank Miller, Humberto Ramos, David Marquez, and Sanford Greene.

Image reveals variant covers by Brett Bean, Jorge Corona, Jason Howard, Ryan Ottley, Ryan Stegman, Riley Rossmo, and Mirka Andolfo for D’Orc!

Posted on by

The all-new high-fantasy satire—D’orc—by fan-favorite artist Brett Bean, colorist Jean-François Beaulieu, and letterer Nate Piekos will offer a palooza of additional variant covers by top tier artists including Jorge Corona, Jason Howard, Ryan Ottley, Ryan Stegman, Riley Rossmo, Mirka Andolfo, and more high-flyers yet-to-be-announced. This ongoing series is set to launch next month from Image Comics.

Armed with nothing but a wisecracking enchanted shield and a crippling need for friendship, a lonely orphan stumbles headfirst into Sunderaine’s never-ending war. Light vs. Dark. Elves vs. Orcs. Wizards vs. Common Sense. Dragons vs. Literally Everyone. And caught dead-center? D’orc.

Half dwarf, half orc, and wholly inconvenient to a doomsday prophecy, D’orc’s fated to end the world. Soon, every human, elf, goblin, dwarf, Snargletooth, Necroid, Ice Giant, Trauma Llama, and at least three other unpronounceable magical creatures will know his name.

X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale Wraps up a Middle Event but Delivers Something that Feels Different

Posted on by
X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale

X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale wraps up Marvel’s mutantkind’s latest event with an ending that’s interesting but overall is a rather blah event.

Written by Jed MacKay, X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale is a rather interesting ending for the story that saw Cyclops and Beast’s conscious shifted to the future where Revelation has created a new mutant nation and not all is right. Without a main series to read, this event has been intriguing spread across multiple miniseries, some feeling more focused on the main story than others. Each miniseries pieced out a bit of the puzzle that put together gave a much clearer picture of what was going on.

X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale ties it all together as various forces rally to stop Revelation and while the event overall is one of the weaker X-Men events, what it delivers is something interesting and refreshing in ways.

SPOILERS AHEAD

The issue is mostly one big fight as Apocalypse and his forces and the remaining X-Men take on Revelation. During that, Beast races to get himself and Cyclops back to the present in hopes they’ve learned enough to stop everything from happening. Why is that important? For once, the bad guy wins.

Yes, Revelation’s plan goes through and plays out as Earth itself is transformed. We get some logic that the increasing death count from Revelation’s earlier plans of the X-Virus forced him, gave him permission in some ways, to go bigger in his vision. And in the end, the bad guy wins. This isn’t a story where the X-Men stop the future horror in some way, wrapping it up in a miniseries. It’s one that plays out as Cyclops and Beast head back and must really do what they can to prevent it from even happening creating very difficult choices.

And that’s where there’s some good and bad, we find out the Beast in the future wasn’t the mind of the Beast from the past, but someone else. As Cyclops returns to his body, Beast has no knowledge of events and we find out it was someone else pulled through time. This is big in that there’s one less person with key knowledge in how to prevent Revelation’s rise to power and someone else does have it. It makes the future feel more inevitable and ominous.

X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale itself isn’t really what’s interesting, it’s how the story plays out and what that means for the future of the line of X-Men comics. This is an event that has long term ramifications as it’s not resolved. Time didn’t get fixed. Things didn’t revert like so many other time travel stories. This is one where the X-Men now know of a dark future and must act to try to prevent it without all the tools they were supposed to have.

End Spoilers

The art by Ryan Stegman and Netho Diaz is solid. There’s some great panels and pages as the battle rages. It’s not all great, a rambling speech by Revelation lacks a certain something, but there are moments that give you the “hell yeah” you’re looking for. With ink by JP Mayer, color by Marcio Menyz, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, the comic looks good and pops at key moments. There’s some good action and good emotional punches that hit right.

Overall X-Men: Age of Revelation Finale isn’t really interesting for the action or art, it’s how this event was structured. It felt like there was no main series to follow and in the end, it doesn’t wrap up with a resolution to the problem, but instead kicks off the next chapter of the story where more challenges are presented. While itself had me down on the X line, what comes next shows potential.
