The Story of Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO Begins
The three revelations delivered by the Autonomous Interstellar Object from another galaxy ushered in an age of unprecedented prosperity, allowing humanity to expand across the entire solar system.
Gravity Control. FTL Communication. Cognitive Materialization. Yet less than ten years after its discovery, the Object that had delivered these three revelations suddenly ran rampant, spawning an aggressive, self-proliferating ecosystem.
Humanity came to see this unknown ecosystem as the Apocalypse.
For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A. 1—the first year After Apocalypse.
By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse.
And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens—
Protagonist: Ray Azumi
A war orphan who lost his parents in an Apocalypse attack, he serves as the designated pilot of Gundam ZERO. He is voiced by Takeo Otsuka.
Armageddon has fallen upon the Marvel Universe and a bold new age awaits the survivors! Writers Chip Zdarsky and Joshua Williamson took to the stage of the Avengers: Armageddon panel at San Diego Comic-Con to reveal new information about the final issue of Avengers: Armageddon, the climax of the current story in Captain America, the second arc of the new Avengers series and two new story arcs from the ongoing Iron Man series.
The Marvel Universe is at a turning point. After General Thunderbolt Ross, aka the Red Hulk, led an army of gamma-enhanced soldiers in a hostile effort to “spread democracy” across Europe, the Avengers dispatched their team to put an end to Ross’ conquest despite protest from the United Nations. David Colton, a former Captain America who recently received a vast power upgrade from the mysterious Origin Boxes, engaged Ross in a highly destructive battle resulting in collateral damage. In the aftermath of that battle, the Red Hulk was captured and removed to Russia by the Winter Guard while Iron Man discovered a highly dangerous piece of technology left behind that can show the user visions of possible futures.
The discovery of this machine and the consequences of Red Hulk and Colton’s battle will be explored in upcoming issues of Avengers: Armageddon and change how everyone in the Marvel Universe feels about super heroes… while setting the stage for November’s The Avengers #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto.
Prior to the events of Avengers: Armageddon, Steve Rogers confronted the Red Hulk and was placed into a coma for his efforts. Steve’s soul was then captured and pulled down into Hell where Victor Von Doom leads an uprising against Mephisto’s forces. Together with Doom, Steve’s noble deeds cause an army of the damned seeking redemption to follow him. Mephisto isn’t taking kindly to such actions and has assembled a horde of demons to confront Rogers and Doom, led by one of Rogers’ archenemies from back on Earth, the Red Skull.
Teasing the climactic events of Captain America #16 and the possibility of regime change in the netherworld, Zdarsky has said “Steve Rogers gets the chance to redefine Hell. Easy.”
While the opening arc for the new Avengers comic series is still being kept mostly under wraps, a teaser image by Chip Zdarsky depicting a cracked Punisher skull was revealed alongside the title of the second arc: ‘The Red Line.’ Zdarsky was tight-lipped when it came to details.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing Iron Man series by writer Joshua Williamson, Tony Stark has faced one of his greatest nightmares brought to life by a vengeful Madame Masque and a new incarnation of the terrorist group A.I.M. Stark’s continued reactions to A.I.M.’s manipulations have put him under the microscope of his fellow heroes while a mysterious new figure calling themselves Citizen V implores Tony’s closest companions to distance themselves from him. With dangerous technology making it out into the wild and his increasingly reckless behavior being scrutinized by the public, Stark ends up behind bars in the hi-tech prison known as The Vault as ‘The Incarcerated Iron Man’ kicks off in December with artist Carmen Carnero.
Beginning with Part 1 of ‘The Incarcerated Iron Man’ in Iron Man #12, the series will ship twice a month with alternating story arcs and artists through March 2027, as part of the lead up to Iron Man #700. It will feature art by Carmen Carnero for even-numbered issues and odd numbered issues features art by Gleb Melnikov.
In the even-numbered issues Tony Stark is in prison. While the odd numbered issues are taken over by the ‘War Machines.’ James “Rhodey” Rhodes puts together a new team of Armored Warriors to help take down Madame Masque, Adam Ware and the new A.I.M. while Tony is locked up.

Daniel, who recently made his own return to the world of X in Jed MacKay’s X-Men.
Together, the two X-Men veterans introduce an all-new, all-different kind of X-team as Storm, fresh off her stint with Avengers, recruits a lineup of all-star mutant heroes—including X-Men mainstays and a pair of iconic mutant Avengers—to confront global threats no other team is equipped to deal with, beginning with nothing less than a relentless interdimensional invasion! Both creators joined the panel as surprise guests to discuss the new series.

Storm gathers an elite team for just that task, including Wolverine, Colossus, Bishop, Iceman, Psylocke, Firestar, and Justice! Mutants by birth, heroes by choice!

Inspired by the legendary Cobra Civil War storyline from the G.I. Joe comics, “Cobra Island” channels the chaos, power struggles, and all-out warfare between Cobra Commander, Serpentor, and their rival factions through razor-sharp riffs, soaring vocals, and classic ’80s metal energy.
Headbang to the treacherous heart of Cobra’s infamous stronghold with Cold Slither’s crushing new track “Cobra Island”. This thunderous heavy metal ripper captures the utter chaos, and all-out warfare of the legendary Cobra Civil War from the G.I. Joe comic book series — the brutal power struggle between Cobra Commander, Serpentor, and their rival factions that tore the organization apart and dragged G.I. Joe and the Iron Grenadiers into the fray. Interpreted by our beloved bunch of Dreadnoks!
Packed with razor-sharp riffs, Zartan’s soaring vocals, and a relentless groove that hits like a Thunder Machine barreling through the swamps, “Cobra Island” high-octane energy and shows a glimpse of what things might sound for a future album. Think classic ’80s metal fury meets the early thrash groove and power — perfect for headbanging, moshing, and plotting world domination.
Cold Slither is a declaration of war. Fronted by the enigmatic Zartan and his ruthless Dreadnok bandmates Torch, Ripper, and Buzzer, the band fuses old-school heavy metal with anarchic energy and unrelenting force. With tracks built on punishing riffs, venomous vocals, and apocalyptic atmosphere, COLD SLITHER resurrects the myth and turns it into a modern-day metal juggernaut.
The release arrives just ahead of Cold Slither’s performance at Hasbro’sThe Transformers: The Movie 40th AnniversaryCelebration of Life Concert, taking place Thursday, July 23 at the House of Blues in San Diego. The one-night-only event will feature an all-star lineup, including the hard-rocking band returning to the stage following their fan-favorite live debut in San Diego last year, bringing their loud and rebellious sound straight from the world of G.I. Joe.

The fifty thousand dollars worth of cocaine missing from his trunk? That’s a little harder. What’s a good woman to do?

THE TORMENTED
Written by Chuck Austen with art by Patrick Olliffe May 18, 2027 / May 19, 2027 — First Time In Print!
Ryan Auster’s parents were famous demon hunters while he was growing up, but unlike his father, mother, and sister, Ryan never had “the gift” to “see” the paranormal, so they left him behind when they went out to investigate. But Ryan was only hiding his gifts out of fear—fear of the things in the darkness, fear of his own, abusive father—until one life-altering night his fears prove right, something goes horribly wrong, and his entire family is brutally murdered by something… not human.
Instantly orphaned, Ryan is raised by various foster families, until—as an adult, he finds his paranormal abilities have unexpectedly gotten him an offer to host a ghost hunting reality TV show. He desperately needs the money, but he knows that if he takes the job, using his “gifts” will make him visible to whatever it was that gruesomely butchered his family, marking him, and his newfound friends on the show, for the same fate.
Too broke to say “no”, Ryan agrees to host the show, but his worst fears are realized when his “powers” do indeed make him a beacon that draws—not just the beings that killed his family—but all the many horrors that live in the darkness.
