The opening scene from Alex Ross’ Marvel Dimensions revealed!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Written and illustrated by Alex Ross and arriving September 1 from Abrams ComicArts as part of their Marvel Arts line curated by Ross, Marvel Dimensions twists the Marvel Universe in ways readers have never seen before, and includes a full-length 32page comic book bound inside, that changes everything.

Marvel Dimensions opens with a sweeping tour through the classic origins of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others appear in dramatic, fully painted spreads that echo their earliest stories. A narrator describes each moment with confidence, guiding the reader through these touchstones of Marvel’s history. But as the story moves forward, the tone begins to shift. The voice behind the narration is not who the readers expect and carries a motive that slowly pushes the narrative somewhere darker and far more unpredictable.

Once this change becomes clear, the book expands into something larger and more surprising. Storylines twist in on themselves, characters behave in unexpected ways, and events ripple across the Marvel Universe with growing tensions. Ross uses the structure of the book to create anticipation and pull the reader deeper into a mystery that keeps widening. Every new sequence reveals another layer, building toward a final act that reframes everything that came before it.

SDCC 2026: Indiana Jones returns to comics with The Sword of Pandemonium

Posted on by Leave a comment

During the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con it was announced that Indiana Jones returns to Marvel Comics this December in Indiana Jones and The Sword of Pandemonium, an all-new five-issue limited series from superstar writer Jason Aaron and acclaimed artist Aaron Kuder. The series kicks off an all-new era of comic book adventures for the iconic archaeologist set during the original groundbreaking films.

In the wake of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy’s most notorious villains, including the impossible return of an archenemy, seek a terrifying new source of power to recoup their loss—one that’s fallen into the hands of his former companion, Marion Ravenwood. Now, Indiana Jones has to race to the far corners of the globe in search of a biblical weapon, embarking on an epic quest that will put both his archeology skills and skepticism of the supernatural to the ultimate test!

The reveal of Indiana Jones and The Sword of Pandemonium follows the recent announcement of ‘Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I’ and ‘Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book II,’ new deluxe hardcovers collecting the character’s beloved 1980s Marvel Comics sagas, coming in September.

Check out Bryan Hitch’s main cover along with a variant cover by the legendary Alex Ross and the first of a five-part connecting cover by Aaron Kuder. Stay tuned for more news about Indiana Jones and The Sword of Pandemonium in the months ahead, including a special variant cover program.

Exclusive Preview: Get a First Look at Thor #800!

Posted on by

This August, the God of Thunder hits a milestone when Thor #800 comes to shelves. The anniversary issue continues the adventure that Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry have been weaving in Mortal Thor, but also anniversary stories from writer Chris Condon and artist Jesse Lonergan, plus the return of fan-favorite Thor and Journey Into Mystery scribe Kieron Gillen.

At the end of Ewing’s Immortal Thor, the God of Thunder met his fate and died as a sacrifice to power a spell by his sibling Loki. This spell saw Thor forgotten by those who knew him and the rest of the Asgardians seemingly forever severed from the realm of Midgard. But the story continued in Mortal Thor, as a new hero rose on the streets of New York City, a hero with no powers, just a determination to right wrongs—with a hammer. Seeking a normal life but forced to step into the fray, Sigurd Jarlson found himself beset by threats from Thor’s past including the vicious Donald Blake, aka The Serpent, and Mr. Hyde. Sigurd’s encounters with these villains have led him closer to uncovering the mystery tying him to the missing Asgardian God of Thunder, with a pivotal moment set to take place in August’s issue of Mortal Thor.

The Serpent has trapped Sigurd Jarlson in the worst of all possible worlds for his greatest trial. Now, without even a weapon in his hand, he must prove himself worthy to enter the Realms of the Gods. Somewhere in the city, a man without even a hammer begins the ultimate quest…the quest for Thor!

We have an exclusive look at four pages from the main story by Al Ewing and Pasqual Ferry and one page from one of the issue’s anniversary backup stories by Chris Condon and Jesse Lonergan!

Check them out below and don’t miss Thor #800 when it comes to shelves on August 19.

The Mortal Thor Faces a Trial of the Gods with the Fate of Asgard at Stake

Posted on by

In a world without a God of Thunder, lightning still strikes! This August, writer Al Ewing and artist Pasqual Ferry celebrate 800 issues of Thor with a special anniversary issue that pits Sigurd Jarlson, the Mortal Thor, up against The Serpent’s most heinous test yet. With the fate of the Ten Realms hanging in the balance and no superpowers or enchanted hammers to wield, Sigurd’s quest to prove himself worthy and restore life to the forgotten god of Asgard will set the stage for the third act of Ewing’s mythos-shaking THOR saga.

At the end of Ewing’s Immortal Thor, the God of Thunder met his fate and died as a sacrifice to power a spell by his sibling Loki. This spell saw Thor forgotten by those who knew him and the rest of the Asgardians seemingly forever severed from the realm of Midgard. But the story continued in Mortal Thor, as a new hero rose on the streets of New York City, a hero with no powers, just a determination to right wrongs—with a hammer. Seeking a normal life but forced to step into the fray, Sigurd Jarlson found himself beset by threats from Thor’s past including the vicious Donald Blake, aka The Serpent, and Mr. Hyde. Sigurd’s encounters with these villains have led him closer to uncovering the mystery tying him to the missing Asgardian God of Thunder, with a pivotal moment set to take place in August’s issue of Mortal Thor.

Mortal Thor #14/LGY #800 will also include anniversary stories from rising star writer Chris Condon and artist Jesse Lonergan, plus the return of fan-favorite Thor and Journey Into Mystery scribe Kieron Gillen.

AN ASGARDIAN MILESTONE: THOR #800!
