NYCC 2026: Transformers! G.I. Joe! Turok! Skybound Visions Is HERE!

Posted on by Leave a comment

At New York Comic Con, Skybound Entertainment, Image Comics, Hasbro, and Universal announced “Skybound Visions,” a new line of standalone, limited comic series featuring reimaginings of pop culture icons, exploring who those characters are – and who they can be. 

Bringing together the biggest comic characters and the biggest creators, Skybound Visions issues will tell complete, evergreen stories showcasing new sides of these beloved icons. Their stories serve as perfect jumping-on points for new readers, while also rewarding lifelong fans.  

The Skybound Visions line will launch in 2027 with Transformers: Bumblebee – Lost Planet in January, G.I. Joe: The Island of Dr. Mindbender in February, and Turok: Son of Stone in March. Each issue will be printed on deluxe newsprint, and feature variant covers by top talent.  

Transformers: Bumblebee – Lost Planet by writer Tate Brombal and Matt Emmons, colorist Giovanna Niro, and letterer Becca Carey arrives in comic shops on January 27, 2027. 

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!

The last team of Joes sent to the Island of Dr. Mindbender never came back… Now, Codename: Flint must return to active duty to lead a fresh batch of recruits to the isolated compound of a madman. A mad scientist who’s grown madder every year–and his creations more monstrous. In the deadliest mission of his career, Flint just wants to rescue his old friends and get back to his family. But on this island, survival isn’t just half the battle–it’s the whole damn war!

The first Gold Key character in Skybound Visions, Turok: Son of Stone by writer Stephen Graham Jones and Leandro Fernández, and colorist Lee Loughridge with letterer Tom Napolitano hits comic shops on March 10, 2027.  

Turok wanted to dig up the past. Now, he must survive it. Turok dreamed that his dig in New Mexico would make his name legendary. 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.

Act 4 Publishing and Skybound Announce Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition

Posted on by Leave a comment

Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, in partnership with Skybound, have announced the upcoming release of Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition. A gorgeous, oversized presentation of Gene Colan’s acclaimed Marvel Comics work including several complete stories and a wide range of some of his most fondly remembered works, including Captain America, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Howard the Duck. This Artist’s Edition arrives in comic shops on April 7, 2027. 

Presented in a massive 12”x17” format and spanning 176 pages, this Artist’s Edition collects covers by Gene Colan as well as stories written by Stan Lee, Gerry Conway & Roy Thomas with all pencils done by Gene Colan and inks by Bill Everett, Tom Palmer, Joe Sinnott, and others. 

Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition will also present three complete stories: Captain America #137, Daredevil #63, and Tales of Suspense #97 featuring Iron Man. Gene Colan was one of the most prolific and popular Marvel artists of the 1960s and ‘70s. His distinctive and stylistic storytelling made him a fan favorite. As an added bonus, there will be two foldouts presenting four classic TWICE-UP oversized covers by Colan! 

An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. 

The first Gene Colan Artist’s Edition (which focused exclusively on Tomb of Dracula) curated by Scott Dunbier is long out of print and commands high prices in the aftermarket. With this new Artist’s Edition, fans should not miss out on what promises to be a stunning volume of this incredible artist! 

Marvel Heroes by Gene Colan Artist’s Edition (ISBN: Coming Soon| SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on April 7, 2027, and at booksellers on Tuesday, May 4, 2027.
