Straight outta Minecraft, Tales from the SMP comes to comics with Time Traveler Tales

Posted on by

Streaming superstar Karl Jacobs has long teased the dream of turning his epic adventures in the popular Minecraft streaming series, Tales from the SMP, into their very own comic series. That dream is now being made reality. Dark Horse Comics, Jacobs, and veteran comics writer Dave Scheidt are joined by artist duo Kelly and Nichole Matthews and letterer Joamette Gil to craft the exciting all-ages adventure Time Traveler Tales. The cast of creators also includes main cover artist Wendi Chen, with an exclusive variant cover art for Jacobs’ own store to be revealed. The comic series will span five full-color issues, and will be available in both print and digital formats wherever comics are sold.

Oliver has a problem—a time travel problem. Some mysterious force keeps throwing him through time, and this time he’s in the Wild West, rescuing . . . circus animals? But as crazy as that is, it’s only the beginning of his adventure. Through everything that gets thrown at him, the only constant is his desire to help others, right wrongs, and understand the odd places and times to which he travels. With so little to go on, and no control over where he goes (or when!), Oliver must rely on his wit and his friends to find out and face whatever is causing him to tumble through time and space!

Anyone who’s a fan of Stephen Universe, Adventure Time, or Over the Garden Wall, in addition to fans of Minecraft, MrBeast, and Karl’s Twitch content should be ready for anything in Time Traveler Tales.

Time Traveler Tales #1 (of 5) arrives at comic shops December 06, 2023. It is now available to pre-order for $3.99 at your local comic shop.

Posted on by

Marvel’s venture into the Planet of the Apes mythos continues in January! Acclaimed writer Marc Guggenheim teams up with Álvaro López in Beware the Planet of the Apes, a new four-issue limited series that takes readers back to the groundbreaking original film saga. Featuring the franchise’s most beloved characters like Cornelius, Zira, and Nova, the new series will be steeped in appreciation for the classic style of the initial films. Beware the Planet of the Apes will be a prequel to the events of 1968’s Planet of the Apes, the influential movie that kicked off the ape domination of science fiction throughout the 70s and beyond!

INTO THE FORBIDDEN ZONE! In a hostile world run by aggressive gorillas, scientists Cornelius and Zira are the only apes alive who see value in the mute, dumb human race – but even they know human capabilities have severe limits. So when their nephew Lucius goes missing, it is with great trepidation that they turn to a human ally, a young woman who will someday earn the moniker “Nova”…

Check out Taurin Clarke’s cover and be there when Marc Guggenheim and Álvaro López take the Planet of the Apes legacy to daring new heights in January.
