Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson, Alex Sinclair, and Alex Ross Team Up for Astro City: That Was Then

Bestselling creative team Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson, Alex Ross, Alex Sinclair, and Comicraft team up for the return of Astro City in an all-new special out from Image Comics this March—the Astro City: That Was Then… one-shot.

And a host of top Image creators welcome the series back to Image—where it all began—with a stunning lineup of variant covers by Erik Larsen, Marcelo Costa, Leandro Fernández, Jamie McKelvie, Chip Zdarsky, and Rob Guillory.

These highly collectable covers bring Astro City characters together with popular classic and current Image Comics series, including Savage Dragon and Samaritan, Radiant Black and the Confessor, The Old Guard and Cleopatra, Beautie in full The Wicked + The Divine style, Quarrel and Crackerjack in a Sex Criminals homage, and Tony Chu and the First Family’s Rex in a Chew-style trip to Beefy Bob’s.

Astro City: That Was Then… features new and existing heroes and launches a mystery that will drive the forthcoming Astro City series. Who were the Jayhawks? How did they inspire five teen sidekicks looking for answers to hit the road in a rickety crime mobile in 1969? And how will this affect Astro City in the present? It all begins here. And don’t miss the Astro City Metrobook, collecting the first three years of the acclaimed series!

The Astro City: That Was Then… one-shot will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 30. 

Cassandra Nova Joins the Marauders

The final Marauder revealed! Starting in March, set sail with writer Steve Orlando and artist Eleonara Carlini for a new era of Marauders. A new creative team calls for a new crew and this one is packed with longtime favorites like Kate Pryde, bright newcomers like Somnus, and a shocking final member—CASSANDRA NOVA!

The twisted twin sister of Professor Xavier, Cassandra was introduced during Grant Morrison’s revolutionary early 2000s run on New X-Men where she  orchestrated the deadliest crime in mutantkind history and left the X-Men’s world in chaos. Now the Marauders need her help to untangle a mystery rooted in the earliest days of mutantkind. Do they dare trust her?

See Cassandra suiting up in an all-new variant cover by Carlini and find out if she’s really changed her ways when Marauders #1 hits stands on March 30! And don’t miss the opening adventure of Steve Orlando’s run in Marauders Annual #1 on January 12.

Akkad – Book 1

Written by Clarke
Art by Clarke
Purchase

To save humanity from a mortal threat, an unscrupulous scientist conducts a dangerous experiment on five teenagers, hoping to turn them into weapons. In the near future, Earth is falling to a catastrophic alien invasion: giant beetle-like creatures emerge without warning from spatio-temporal rifts, wipe out resistant in a certain zone, then seal it behind a completely impenetrable barrier. Entire sections of the planet have already been lost forever. With conventional weaponry powerless, the USA authorize a program that will turn five teenagers into pure geniuses. Will the test subjects find a defense, though… or will they become out of control themselves?

Professor Kessler’s experiment continues, but the powers of his test subjects are growing at a phenomenal rate. He calls upon Sofi, herself a guinea pig for him once, and who loathes him, to oversee the teenagers… and track them down when they inevitably escape. But are his calculations as good as he thinks? Is it not already too late to hope to control the five geniuses — or even to stop the invasion, as the number of enemy incursions suddenly skyrockets?
