Avengers: Secret Wars gets a Marvel Premier Collection collecting the pivotal event

Posted on by Leave a comment

The end has arrived. The unstoppable wave of interdimensional Incursions has obliterated universe after universe until only two remained — the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Universe. Their collision has left nothing but Battleworld a vast, patchwork planet forged from the shattered remnants of countless realities.

On this broken stage, heroes and villains struggle to survive. Strange new domains rise. Familiar faces return in shocking new forms. And at the throne of creation itself sits Doom — absolute master of all.

VISIONARY. DEFINITIVE. UNMISSABLE.

From master storyteller Jonathan Hickman comes the definitive Marvel saga — the cataclysmic event where the Fantastic Four, Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men and more face their final battle as the entire Multiverse falls!

Posted on by Leave a comment

One by one, the realities of the Multiverse have collided and been destroyed, leaving the Marvel Universe as one of the last standing. Now the final Incursion is drawing near — and in the wake of the desperate, world-shattering actions taken by the shadowy group of heroes known as the Illuminati, the Avengers are fragmented. While one group seeks to confront their former Illuminati allies, another takes the fight to a dark new threat! But what has become of Tony Stark and Doctor Strange? Will all the battles they’ve endured — and the sacrifices they’ve made — prepare the Avengers for the inevitable? Time runs out as the stage is set for SECRET WARS!

SDCC 2026: Marvel’s Midnight Universe Gets the Spotlight

Posted on by Leave a comment

The light had its turn.

At the Marvel Comics: Midnight Universe Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, all three Midnight writers—Jonathan Hickman, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, and Benjamin Percy—shed more light on their bold titles and their shared vision for this terrifying new line. Revealed during the panel were the second issue covers for each title—Midnight Spider-Man, Midnight Fantastic Four, and Midnight X-Men—along with the unveiling of additional variant covers. Attendees also received an early black and white Midnight Universe ashcan preview, which will be available at local comic shops in the near future.

Midnight X-Men #1, Midnight Fantastic Four #1, and Midnight Spider-Man #1 will have a unified launch, hitting stands together on October 7 as the only new Marvel comics released that day, a first for Marvel. The line will also introduce ongoing variant cover programs, with recurring themes across Covers labeled A-E. Bringing greater consistency and clarity to the variant cover collecting experience, this new program allows readers to choose their favorites and ensure that their local comic shop knows exactly what they’ll want, every month, without question.

Befitting the line’s ominous tone, the main covers of the Midnight titles will be presented in Cloaked Cover trade dress that conceals the full artwork until readers open the issue. With the exception of the debut issues, the full artwork will remain shrouded in shadow, only revealing themselves to those who pick them up on stands. While the newly revealed #2 covers offer a glimpse into the horrors ahead, new variant covers spotlight Iceman’s chilling new form, Peter Parker’s monstrous transformation and more.
