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.

Agents of S.L.A.M.

Dave Scheidt, Scoot McMahon, Heidi Black

DING DING DING! Enter the wrestling ring in this all-new graphic novel from Wrapped Up creators Dave Scheidt and Scoot McMahon!

The Agents of S.L.A.M. aren’t your average professional wrestlers. They’re led by the fearless and famous Bruno Bravado and work for the president of the United States to protect people from all kinds of threats—both on Earth and in space! And they’ve just been joined by their newest recruit, Katie Jones, twelve-year-old wrestling vlogger who just might know more about wrestling than the wrestlers themselves. S.L.A.M. will need Katie’s knowledge and skills if they’re going to keep protecting Earth, especially when their toughest rival challenges them!

The biggest threat facing the agents? The super evil World Domination Society (W.D.S.) and their even more evil leader, Master Zero. The W.D.S. will stop at nothing to overpower our Agents of S.L.A.M…even journey to a remote island to secure the legendary Golden Eagle Championship Belt. The belt is rumored to grant the wrestling champion unlimited magical powers, which sure would come in handy when…ya know…dominating the world. When Master Zero strikes the powerbomb and wins the belt, Earth’s citizens are up against something far more dangerous than anything they’ve seen inside a wrestling ring.

But the trouble doesn’t stop there. Jam-packed with all sorts of twists, turns, dragons, mummies, double-crossing agents, and evil extraterrestrial wrestlers, Katie and the Agents of S.L.A.M. will have to pull out all their best suplexes, submissions, and top-rope elbow drops if they’re going to get a TKO against the W.D.S.

Ahead of Emerald City Comic Con, Dark Horse Comics has revealed information about upcoming publications in the Avatar: The Last Airbender publishing series this fall.

Avatar: The Last Airbender–Team Avatar Tales is a one-shot anthology of stories from the Avatarverse featuring beloved characters brought to life by a cast of all-star creators. It features never-before-collected stories from Free Comic Book Day publications and also debuts several brand-new stories. Fans can journey along with Team Avatar as they rescue a pumpkin farmer waylaid by monsters, go undercover in the Fire Nation, help an old rival with a hair-raising problem, and reflect on what it means to save the world. Featuring the work of Gene Luen Yang, Faith Erin Hicks, Carla Speed McNeil, Ron Koertge, Dave Scheidt, Sara Goetter, and more, this anthology features stories both hilarious and heartwarming.

Expecting a warm welcome, Aang is surprised when their arrival is met with disinterest and even open hostility. At a business council meeting, the reason for the slight becomes clear: A massive bender versus non-bender conflict has gripped the town’s inhabitants, and is threatening to turn violent!
