Dan Abnett and Matteo Della Fonte shine the spotlight on the early days of Peter Parker and Frank Castle’s not-so-friendly relationship this July in Punisher vs. Spider-Man

Posted on by Leave a comment

This summer Peter Parker and Frank Castle take a walk down memory pain in Punisher vs. Spider-Man, an all-new five issue limited series detailing some of the duo’s earliest encounters in the Marvel Universe.

Taking place shortly after Punisher’s debut dust-up with Spider-Man in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #129, writer Dan Abnett and artist Matteo Della Fonte force Peter Parker and Frank Castle to set aside their differences for the greater good… until they inevitably turn on one another once again.

THE PUNISHER AND SPIDER-MAN, two of the most notorious names in New York City with very different approaches to making the Big Apple safer (or not, depending on who you ask!). Brought together by happenstance and forced to stay that way by an ally from Frank Castle’s past in need, will the web-slinger and the gunslinger be able to begrudgingly set aside their differences before they find themselves at one another’s throats?!

Check out the main cover for Punisher vs. Spider-Man #1 by Jonas Scharf and a variant by Netho Diaz, plus interior pages by Matteo Della Fonte below. And for more early days Spider-Man vs. Punisher action, look for the Amazing Spider-Man #129 Facsimile Edition [New Printing] in comic shops this July.

The X-Men and Fantastic Four join Forces to Stop the X-Virus from Mutating Mankind in DNX!

Posted on by Leave a comment

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS! This September, the X-Men and Fantastic Four unite against a bombshell of a threat that even their combined intelligence and strength can’t overcome in DNX, a new five-issue comic book event series from writer Jed MacKay and artist Federico Vicentini. The latest in the two legendary super team’s history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly—and horribly—transform humanity into mutants! This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay’s hit run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact MacKay’s continuing work on the franchise, but upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it!

Adding to the excitement of this new mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the latest Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors.

THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!

The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!

DNX #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags. See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers.
