Posted on by

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS!

This September, the X-Virus is unleashed and it’ll take the combined genius and power of the X-Men and Fantastic Four to stop it from forcibly mutating humanity in DNX, a five-issue event series from superstar writer Jed MacKay and acclaimed artist Federico Vicentini. Seeded from the very start of MacKay’s acclaimed run, years of buildup culminates in this shocking mutant milestone that erupts across the Marvel Universe with far-reaching consequences for the fragile balance between mutantkind and humanity.

DNX #1 will feature True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. The final DNX #1 variant covers are now unveiled, including both open-to-order covers and blind bag exclusives.

Among the covers revealed today are stunning pieces by two of today’s most exciting cover artists, Fanyang and Puppeteer Lee, spotlighting Psylocke, Magik and Invisible Woman. Lee’s cover will be a regular orderable cover while Fanyang’s striking piece will be a True Believers Blind Bag exclusive. Leinil Francis Yu’s X variant cover is also revealed today, a black and white version of which will be a True Believers Blind Bag exclusive.

Additional Blind Bag exclusives revealed include a wraparound cover by illustrator Chris Giarrusso that pays homage to Whilce Portacio’s classic Uncanny X-Men #281 cover, a Marvel Rivals Variant Cover by NetEase Games showcasing Rogue’s iconic Savage South skin from the hit game, and an Animation Variant Cover featuring artwork from Marvel Animation’s X-Men ’97. The latter arrives just ahead of the acclaimed show’s highly anticipated second season, premiering July 1 on Disney+. For collectors, two Blank Variant Covers will also be available, one as a regular open-order edition and the other as True Believers Blind Bag exclusive.

DNX #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering. The main cover and regular open-to-order variant covers cannot be found in True Believers Blind Bags. See below for a list of the exclusive blind bag variant covers. In addition to those listed, fans can once again look forward to super rare exclusive covers by surprise contributors, including hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind sketch covers.

Marvel reveals DNX #1 Covers including True Believers Blind Bag Exclusives

Posted on by

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS! Announced earlier this month, DNX, a five-issue event series from Jed MacKay and Federico Vicentini, launches this September. MacKay’s acclaimed X-Men run on X-Men, including the recent Age of Revelation crossover, has led to this monumental saga that sees the X-Men and Fantastic Four join forces to prevent the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, from unleashing a virus that forcibly—and horribly—transforms humanity into mutants! Adding even more excitement to this latest mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the next Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors. Today, fans can check out all-new variant covers for DNX #1, both regular open-to-order covers and blind bag exclusives.

Covers revealed today include the latest piece by best-selling cover artist Artgerm, spotlighting TEMPER, the fiery young X-Man and one of the breakout stars of MacKay’s run. Artgerm’s cover will also be available as virgin variant cover. Both versions will be True Believers Blind Bag exclusives. Other variants revealed include a Hidden Gem Cover by the legendary Jim Lee; a terrifying vision of Magik by InHyuk Lee, also available as virgin variant cover; and an epic Blind Bag exclusive cover by Ken Lashley.

THE X-VIRUS UNLEASHED!

The X-Men and 3K. Each steered by an original heir of Xavier, each with their own vision for the mutant people. Each at one another’s throats. Cyclops and the Chairman both experienced the future of the Age of Revelation and came home with a renewed mission: The X-Men to prevent that future. 3K to own it. While the X-Men seek out the Fantastic Four to help save one of their own, the White Beast begins his plan to unleash the X-Virus in a major population area!

The X-Men and Fantastic Four join Forces to Stop the X-Virus from Mutating Mankind in DNX!

EVOLUTION IS CONTAGIOUS! This September, the X-Men and Fantastic Four unite against a bombshell of a threat that even their combined intelligence and strength can’t overcome in DNX, a new five-issue comic book event series from writer Jed MacKay and artist Federico Vicentini. The latest in the two legendary super team’s history of iconic team-ups, DNX kicks off when the Chairman, the misguided original Hank McCoy, A.K.A. founding X-Man Beast, and his Machiavellian group of supervillains known as 3K prepare to unleash a virus that will forcibly—and horribly—transform humanity into mutants! This long-seeded plan, built up since the very beginning of MacKay’s hit run, hits the Marvel Universe with seismic repercussions that not only impact MacKay’s continuing work on the franchise, but upset the very balance between mutantkind and humanity as we know it!

Adding to the excitement of this new mutant milestone, DNX #1 will be the latest Marvel Comics launch available in True Believers Blind Bags, special sealed bags that contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering, including rare, one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn sketch covers from surprise contributors.

IDW Publishing launches a new era of Star Trek comics Celebrating 60 Years

Posted on by

For 60 years, Star Trek has captivated fans with its inspiring stories of exploration and discovery. To celebrate this year’s milestone anniversary, IDW Publishing is unveiling its biggest and boldest plans yet for the iconic science fiction franchise.

Beaming into comic shops this September is Star Trek #1, the can’t-miss debut issue from the new blockbuster ongoing series. From Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell and Ringo-nominated artist Dennis Menheere comes the epic story about survival and legacy as a secret mission led by Captain Seven of Nine brings the Enterprise-G beyond the four quadrants of the galaxy for the first time ever. The Enterprise ventures into a hidden region of space where time fractures, minds unravel, and an unseen power manipulates fear itself—testing whether the Federation’s ideals of exploration are salvation… or the universe’s greatest mistake.

Star Trek #1

Landing in October is Star Trek: Zero Point #1 from Hugo Award-winning writer Charlie Jane Anders. While the Enterprise vanishes beyond the galaxy, Captain Raffi Musiker commands a starship tasked with preventing tomorrow’s disasters today — guided by a powerful artificial intelligence wearing the face of a familiar ally that may know too much, and understand too little about hope.

Star Trek: Zero Point #1

This year will also see the release of two exceptional one-shots that commemorate everything that makes Star Trek truly special. From an incredible lineup of LGBTQIA+ creators comes Star Trek: Celebrations 2026 in May, starring the universe’s queer characters in tales of love and triumph, exemplifying Gene Roddenberry’s mission for us all to one day celebrate infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

This September, the 50-page comic Star Trek: 60th Anniversary Special is one big celebration of the compelling and beloved franchise. Featuring all-new stories by Dana Gould, Ryan North and Derek Charm, David Walker, Megan Camerena, and more! Plus, covers by Michael Cho, John Tyler Christopher, Chris Fenoglio, and more!

Also releasing this year is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – Lost Contact #1 (04/15/26), plus new issues of the hit titles Star Trek: The Last Starship and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Even more new comics will be revealed later this year, too.
