THE TIN CAN SOCIETY is a heartfelt and human look at the evolution of friendships across a lifetime, at disability and ableism, and the destructive power of fame.

Johnny Moore is a world-famous tech mogul known as much for his work pioneering mobility aids for people with disabilities (like himself) as he is for moonlighting as the metal-suited vigilante, CALIBURN. But when Johnny is found murdered and his suit stolen, his estranged childhood best friends reunite to solve the mystery of his murder.

Doctor Doom Journeys to the End of Time and Space to Claim his Crowing Glory in Doomquest!

This May, behold what makes Doctor Doom Marvel’s greatest supervillain in Doomquest, a ten-issue maxi-series written by current Fantastic Four scribe Ryan North, following his masterful work on Doom in One World Under Doom, and acclaimed artist Francesco Mobili.

No one in Marvel Comics history has had greater triumphs—or more bitter defeats—than Doctor Doom. Now, see him embark on his most ambitious quest yet in this definitive new Doom saga from two industry superstars. A standalone, evergreen story, Doomquest provides a perfect introduction and all-encompassing exploration of the character as he journeys through time to achieve glory for Latveria—and the ultimate victory over his archenemy Reed Richards! It’s a wild and adventurous odyssey that takes readers into the heart of Victor Von Doom, across the edges of reality, into action-packed battles you can’t see anywhere else, and beyond! Fans can get a sneak peek at the series by picking up Armageddon/X-Men #1 CGD 2026 on May 2, Comics Giveaway Day, at their participating local comic shop.

THE DAYS OF DOOM!

Doctor Victor Von Doom is a great scientist, an unparalleled sorcerer and the ruler of his own nation.  He is, by any measure, a great man. And yet Doom wants more. And when Reed Richards – Mister Fantastic, his greatest enemy and eternal rival – is showcased at a prestigious international event to which Doom wasn’t even invited, Doom is outraged.

Reed shares his plan for his eventual retirement project: the total optimization of history. He intends to go back in time, to all the eras humanity wasted on war and conflict, and fix them, saving trillions of lives and ensuring humanity can achieve its greatest and final glory. The idea of Reed rewriting history in his own image is, of course, antithetical to Doom, and so he decides to do it before Reed does. But when the Fantastic Four intervene, Doom finds himself in a battle he never intended – across all of time and space! 

Check out Alex Ross’ cover for the debut issue along with variant covers by Fabrizio De Tommaso, Nic Klein, John Romita Jr., and an homage variant cover of Invincible Iron Man #149 by Luciano Vecchio. Doomquest #1 will also feature a Foil Variant Cover by Ryan Stegman and variant covers by Rose Besch, MR Garcin and Pete Woods. Preorder the series at your local comic shop today!

The Fight with the Maker Continues in Ultimate Endgame #2

The final chapter of Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe kicked off last week in Ultimate Endgame #1 by Deniz Camp, Terry Dodson, and Jonas Scharf. Available in multiple covers as well as Marvel’s True Believers Blind Bags, which can contain rare variant covers and one-of-a-kind sketch covers, Ultimate Endgame delivered a shocking reveal…that the Maker has returned in a terrifying new form!

Fans can see all the available covers for Ultimate Endgame #2, arriving on February 4, along with a sneak peek at interior artwork. And with Ultimate Endgame #1 now on stands, it’s time to reveal Mark Brooks’ main cover for issue four, showing the Maker’s new form, and issue five, the pulse-pounding, oversized final issue!

The Maker used time travel to create his ideal Earth by systematically preventing anyone from ever becoming a super hero and establishing a council of super villains that ruled the world from the shadows. But for the past two years, the Maker has been trapped inside The City, and while he’s been away, heroes have emerged, determined to fix the world!

In Ultimate Endgame #1, the heroes of the Ultimate Universe entered The City, where two thousand years have passed. There, they met Immortus, who turned out to be Howard Stark, Iron Lad’s father, who had been trapped there as well. Immortus informed the group that The Maker was now more powerful than ever after he somehow merged with The City itself! Fans can see the monstrosity for themselves as Spider-Man bravely faces the diabolical genius singlehandedly on the newly revealed Ultimate Endgame #4 cover.

And the end has only just begun! In Ultimate Endgame #2, the heroes continue their desperate search for a way to stop the Maker and change the fate of their universe forever. In coming issues, the X-Men, Black Panther, Wolverine, and more will join the fight, all leading up to the cataclysmic showdown with The Maker in Ultimate Endgame #5.

Ultimate Endgame #2 is written by Camp with art by Dodson and Scharf and features a main cover by Mark Brooks and variant covers by Brooks, Tony Daniel, Terry Dodson, Lee Garbett, Jonas Scharf, R.B. Silva, Francesco Mobili, and Stonehouse.
