Act 4 Publishing & Skybound Announce George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition

Posted on by

Skybound, in partnership with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, have announced that one of the most important DC comics series of all time will release in the award-winning Artist’s Edition format as George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition arrives in stores June 2026. 

Continuing a multi-book deal with DC, George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition gives a unique view into how the Teen Titans came to be, featuring a large selection of the artist’s original art, including beautiful covers and a curated selection of pages from issues #1-40 of The New Teen Titans. A heartfelt introduction by Pérez’s longtime collaborator and New Teen Titans co-creator, Marv Wolfman, headlines this stunning 12” x 17” hardcover edition. 

A true turning point in comic book history, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez created a massive hit for DC when The New Teen Titans arrived on comic shop shelves in 1980. The team of Robin, Starfire, Wonder Girl, Raven, Kid Flash, Cyborg, and Beast Boy stole readers’ hearts, rivaling even the X-Men for preeminence in the comic market. 

An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing. 

George Pérez’s The New Teen Titans Artist’s Edition (ISBN 978-1-5343-3135-8 | SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and at booksellers on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

Witness J. Michael Straczynski’s vision for Steve Rogers in the Captain America #1 trailer

Posted on by

Esteemed writer and filmmaker J. Michael Straczynski, known for celebrated runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Thor, returns to Marvel Comics and will be taking the reins of one of its greatest icons in a new run of Captain America! Joined by artist Jesús Saiz and colorist Matt Hollingsworth, Straczynski has bold plans for Captain America with a saga that takes root in Steve Rogers’ earliest days but threatens to throw his future into chaos.

Even before he became Marvel’s star-spangled hero, Steve Rogers was a fighter. Embark on a fascinating journey to never-before-seen days of Steve’s youth where a powerful evil seeks to end Cap’s legacy before it begins. And back in the present, Captain America is giving back to the community in ways only he can by tackling crime on the local level. All that changes when this existential threat from the past begins making moves towards Steve in the here and now, starting with recruiting some of his most deadliest former foes. In addition to deepening of the Captain America’s comic book mythos, Straczynski and Saiz will also delve into a largely unexplored chapter of Steve’s life in the late 1930s, as the fascism swallowing Europe threatened to take root in New York City.

Get your first look at this profound new series in the thrilling Captain America #1 trailer. First shown this past weekend at the Marvel: Heroes, Hulks and Super-Soldiers panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the new trailer features never-before-seen artwork including an epic motorcycle battle, exciting teamups with the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man, and a heartfelt memory of Steve with his mother.
