One of the most dynamic superheroes in the Archie Comics roster—the ferociously powerful Jaguar—returns in a new action-packed one-shot adventure this February! Written by Keryl Brown Ahmed with art by Tango, the comic charts a new direction for Ivette Velez, the most recent hero to assume the mantle of The Jaguar, whose legacy dates back to the Silver Age of comics.
In the new one-shot, Ivette, a zoologist, is called to Peru to investigate a mysterious predator killing off wild cats, but she soon finds herself in its sights instead. The story serves as both an introduction to the character for new readers and a follow-up to Ivette’s adventures chronicled in the 2012 series New Crusaders,where she debuted in a story by writer Ian Flynn and artist Ben Bates.The Jaguar follows last year’s Bob Phantom by writer James IIIand next month’s Darkling by writer Sarah Kuhnin reviving Archie superheroes for a new generation.
Something is killing the Pampas cats of Northern Peru. A group of zoologists has come together to investigate these mysterious slayings. They know the culprit is a bird of prey, but the method of killing is unlike any of the birds local to the region. It’s going to take someone with apex predator abilities to find out who’s causing these murders…someone like Ivette Velez, aka The Jaguar! But will the predator become the prey?
The Jaguar first appeared in 1961’s Adventures of The Jaguar #1 as Ralph Hardy, in a story by writer Robert Bernstein and artist John Rosenberger. Ralph, an archaeologist and zoologist, discovers a magical totem in Peru granting him animalistic powers and senses. In New Crusaders, Ralph passed the mantle to Ivette, and in Ahmed’s new story, her powers are reconciled with her ancestry.
The Jaguar, with a cover by Maria Sanapo, an open-to-order variant cover by Reiko Murakami, colors by Ellie Wright, and lettering by Jack Morelli, releases February 21, 2024 and will be available for pre-order from comics shops starting Friday, November 17.
