This summer, three of Marvel’s most iconic stars barrel towards a brutal confrontation in Spider-Man: Long Way Home. Crafted by Jonathan Hickman and Adam Kubert, the five-issue limited comic series puts Spider-Man, Punisher, and Hulk on a high-stakes collision course as they desperately pursue a missing Cosmic Cube. In the same spirit as 2024’s Wolverine: Revenge, the hit limited comic series by Hickman and Greg Capullo, Spider-Man: Long Way Home offers familiarity while existing apart from the main Marvel Universe, delivering a timeless, evergreen saga for all readers that’s unrestrained by continuity, scope and mercy!
A DARK HOMECOMING AWAITS…
It’s a world before the Punisher. A world where the existence of the Hulk is but a whisper of a rumor. A world where A.I.M. has just developed a Cosmic Cube in the jungles of South America. Frank Castle, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker are all on a mission to keep the Cube out of the wrong hands – including each other’s. In this three-way free-for-all for the power of the cosmos, who will come out on top?
Check out Adam Kubert’s main cover along with a special foil variant cover by Dave Johnson and a sneak peek at interior artwork. Experience Spider-Man: Long Way Home at your local comic shop this summer when it arrives June 17.
Bishop, the energy-absorbing powerhouse X-Man, hails from one of mutantkind’s darkest futures. This June, that future comes back to bite in Bishop, an all-new five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and art by Mario Santoro.
In the series, Bishop finds himself in a fight against fate when the Final Brotherhood, a new group of villains originating from his future, journey to the past to end his time in the present once and for all. In order to stop them and prevent further disruption of the timeline, Bishop will team up with his sister Shard, a fan-favorite character who starred in ‘90s X-Factor as well as previous Bishop solo series, whose tragic fate haunts Bishop to this day. Similar to recently launched solo X-titles like Rogue and Cyclops, BISHOP promises to deliver a thrilling, standalone saga that encapsulates the heart and history of the character—all while putting them through the ringer on their most challenging and legacy-defining missions yet!
THE TIME-LOST X-MAN IS BACK!
Bishop has always lived by a strict code. But that code will get called into question when his sister, Shard, is sent to the present right before she died! Will Bishop adhere to his principles and protect the timestream? Or will he risk it all to save the most important person in his life?
Check out Davide Paratore’s main cover along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso and Skottie Young, and pick up Bishop #1 at your local comic shop this June!
