News broke this morning that comic artist and penciller Carlos Pacheco has passed away. Pachecho is known for his work on such series as Superman, Green Lantern, Captain America, X-Men, Arrowsmith: Behind Enemy Lines, and more. He was a few days shy of his birthday.

Born in 1961 and from Spain, Pacheco started in the industry drawing covers for Spanish translations of Marvel comics. He eventually got work on Marvel UK which lead to more Marvel work.

In 2009, he siged an exclusive contract with Marvel after having worked with DC as well.

In September, Pacheco revealed he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, it’s a neurodegenerative disease that results in the loss of motor neurons that control voluntary muscles. There is no known cure with life expectancy about 2 to 4 years after prognosis.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans.

SRP: $3.99

FROM THE WRITERS OF TV’S THE GOLDBERGS!
After he nearly caused a Skrull attack in our last issue, the management at Damage Control has wisely chosen to try and place Gus in a less volatile position. How much harm can Gus do in the Consumer Affairs office, listening to complaints and grievances? Actually, the answer is a lot. When things get out of control, Gus has to call on Ant-Man and the Wasp to try and turn a big problem into a little one in a story we call “Honey, Pym Shrunk the Kids”!
ADAM F. GOLDBERG and HANS RODIONOFF tap the keys while the incomparable WILL ROBSON turns words into glorious art as Gus makes a horrible first impression on the Punisher, Ant-Man, the Wasp and more!

FROM THE CREATOR OF TV’S THE GOLDBERGS!

Marvel’s Unsung Heroes finally get sung! After the mega-powered battles and Hulk-level catastrophes, Damage Control is always there to clean up the mess and get things back to normal. But Damage Control is much more than just a glorified cleanup crew, and this new series will pull back the curtain and reveal the secret inner workings that were previously only available to people with Clearance Level Eight. And we’ll witness it all through the eyes of Gus: a fresh-faced, eager newcomer to the company who has no idea how chaotic his life is about to become.

ADAM F. GOLDBERG (TV’s The Goldbergs) and HANS RODIONOFF team up with WILL ROBSON to take you into the secret labyrinth of Damage Control, where it’s totally common to run into familiar faces like Moon Knight! Nightcrawler! She-Hulk! And more!

Plus: A second story by DAMAGE CONTROL creator Dwayne McDuffie’s McSpouse, Charlotte Fullerton, as the Damage Control crew must clean up after the Infinity Gauntlet!
