Marvel reveals a Deluxe Indiana Jones Hardcover Collection Collecting the Classic Comic Adventures

Posted on by Leave a comment

At the height of the popularity of Indiana Jones in the 1980s, Marvel Comics—and some of the biggest creators of the era—took on the challenge of bringing the iconic hero from the silver screen to the printed page, and the results were every bit as exhilarating as the groundbreaking films! This September, Marvel brings these legendary adventures back to print in two deluxe hardcovers: Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book II.

The collections will include the comic adaptations of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, as well as the entire run of The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones, the beloved series that expanded on the Indiana Jones mythology in blockbuster fashion with action-packed new quests. Featuring leatherette binding, debossed cover designs and ribbon bookmarks, these special volumes are treasures worthy of Indy himself and must-haves for collectors and fans alike.

Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I HC includes MARVEL SUPER SPECIAL (1977) #18 and #30, adaptations of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, along with THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES (1983) #1-16. Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book II HC includes INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989) #1-4 and THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES (1983) #17-34. The stories feature work by some of the biggest talents of the 1980s including David Michelinie, Walt Simonson, John Byrne, John Buscema and many more!

With clouds of war gathering ominously over Europe and a Great Depression gripping the world, one globe-trotting professor’s appetite for adventure and discovery remains unsated! Join Dr. Henry Jones as he scours the farthest corners of the planet in a constant race to keep priceless artifacts out of the wrong hands!

Weapon X, Maverick, Sunspot, and Warlock are coming to Marvel: Crisis Protocol

Posted on by

Atomic Mass Games has revealed two new releases for Marvel: Crisis Protocol, the miniature tabletop wargame. The first set features Weapon X and Maverick while the second features Sunspot and Warlock. Both sets are slated to be released September 13.

The Weapon X and Maverick character pack sees the Weapon X program coming to the game. The set features a new take on Wolverine as well as the debut of Maverick. Other notable Weapon X alumnus already in the game include Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, X-23, and a few others we can debate about. The set features the two miniatures, 2 character stat cards, 2 team tactic cards, and 1 token sheet. It’ll retail for $39.99.

Wolverine debuted in The Incredible Hulk #180 in 1974 and was created by Len Wein, Herb Trimpe, and Barry Windsor-Smith. The classic story “Weapon X” appeared in Marvel Comics Presents #72-84 in 1991 by Windsor-Smith. Maverick debuted in X-Men #5 from 1992 and created by John Byrne and Jim Lee.

The Sunspot and Warlock character set is the debut of both characters in the game and gives us a hope for a New Mutants faction. The set features both characters’ miniatures, 2 character stat cards, 5 team tactic cards, and 1 token sheet. Other members of the New Mutants already in the game includes Magick. It’ll retail for $39.99.

Sunspot debuted in Marvel Graphic Novel #4: The New Mutants in 1982 and was created by Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod. Warlock was created by Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz and debuted in 1984 in The New Mutants #18.

Godzilla gets a monsters-sized Omnibus from Marvel

Posted on by

In 1977, Godzilla became one of Marvel‘s biggest stars, headlining a hit solo series set in the heart of the Marvel Universe! Now, thanks to an exciting new collaboration with Toho International, the Japanese studio’s U.S.-based subsidiary that has brought global sensation Godzilla to life, this host of monumental Godzilla escapades costarring your favorite Marvel heroes will be collected next year in Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus!

Marvel’s take on Japan’s greatest export represented an incredible creative collaboration between two comic book pioneers: Doug Moench, known for his definitive run of Master of Kung Fu and co-creating Moon Knight, and Herb Trimpe, known for his seminal work on Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. In October 2024, fans can dive into all 24 issues of this fondly remembered chapter of Godzilla’s legacy, each one gloriously remastered and presented in color for the first time, in this long-awaited omnibus collection!

Godzilla rises from the depths in the United States — and the Marvel Universe! See the towering scourge of Tokyo march across America and battle some of the best and brightest the House of Ideas had to offer, including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the Champions, Nick Fury and the mechanized monster fighter, Red Ronin! Godzilla goes west, travels through time to battle Devil Dinosaur, and hosts one of Spider-Man’s most gratuitous guest-shots ever — but when Godzilla is shrunk down to miniature size, the terrible titan proves it can still be a tiny terror! Plus: Aliens, mutants, mad scientists and epic kaiju clashes with Godzilla’s fellow towering titans — including Batragon and Yetrigar!

Recently, Toho marked Godzilla’s 69 year history with Godzilla Day, a monster-sized celebration packed with exciting announcements, including news about the new Godzilla Minus One film, which opens in U.S. theaters next month. Now, Marvel Comics proudly honors the King of Monsters by revisiting its own unique connection to this legendary franchise with the reveal of this upcoming omnibus. Check out all three covers, including a new piece by superstar artist Junggeun Yoon and two Direct Market Exclusive Variant Covers that showcase Trimpe’s iconic covers, and be there when Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus charges into stores next year!
