Posted on by Leave a comment

Skybound, Image Comics, Hasbro, and Crystal Dynamics have revealed the first-ever crossover event between two of the most beloved action franchises ever, G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero and Tomb Raider, culminating in a 5-issue miniseries debuting this fall!

Readers who picked up G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #330 in comic book shops were treated to the surprise first appearance of Lara Croft as she infiltrated Castle Destro in search of her next deadly destination! This marks the first time EVER that the worlds of G.I. Joe and Tomb Raider have ever met in comic book history. 

Then, in October, Lara Croft’s search for the Arbco Star goes to the next level with G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero/Tomb Raider #1, a 5-issue limited series from the best-selling creative team of writer Kyle Higgins, artist Elena Casagrande, colorist Alex Guimarães, and letterer Pat Brosseau, available in comic shops on October 7, 2026. 

KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE. RAIDING IS THE OTHER HALF! 

Lara Croft has explored some of the most dangerous locations on Earth, but nothing quite like Cobra Island. For this adventure, she’ll need the help of her old acquaintance, Shipwreck, and several squads of Joes to mount a dangerous expedition into the heart of the island to recover a treasure that’s been hidden there for decades. One that Destro and Baroness will do anything to get their hands on first… 

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero/Tomb Raider #1 features a main cover by Elena Casagrande and Alex Guimarães, an open-to-order variant and Foil cover by Stjepan Sejic, a 1:25 incentive variant that kicks off a “Classic Joe” cover series by Chris Mooneyham, a 1:50 variant by Leirix, a 1:100 incentive variant by Lorenzo Tammetta and Mike Spicer and a blank sketch variant.

DC announces Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol, launching this September

Posted on by

DC has announced the next major expansion of its Next Level publishing initiative with three new ongoing comic book series launching on Wednesday, September 2, 2026: Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol. These team books mark the latest evolution of DC’s Next Level line, following the success of recent launches including Batwoman, Lobo, Deathstroke: The Terminator, Firestorm, Zatanna, Barbara Gordon: Breakout, and The Deadman.

Together, as DC: All In continues its second act, these new series showcase the breadth, ambition, and creative energy driving DC’s 2026 publishing slate. DC’s Next Level titles stand alongside DC’s ongoing and limited series across both the main universe and Absolute universe, expanding the scope and future of DC’s storytelling.

Legion of Super-Heroes

A New Tomorrow Begins for the Legion of Super-Heroes

Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman reimagine the future of the DC Universe

One thousand years after the Last Son of Krypton’s rocket crashed on the Kent Farm comes a new future inspired by the Man of Tomorrow!

But this new future is in danger! Superheroes are outlawed! Deadly enforcers known as the Persuaders keep the populace of the United Planets in check! Worlds are at war! And this dark tomorrow’s last glimmer of hope, R.J. Brande, has been brutally murdered.

Can the mysterious Brainiac 1 of 5 solve Brande’s murder? To restore hope to the universe, he must assemble a legion of gifted young rebels from across the cosmos! But they are scattered across the universe!

Witness the dawn of a new future in DC Comics architect Joshua Williamson and Eisner-winning superstar artist Hayden Sherman’s Legion of Super-Heroes… you will never look at tomorrow the same way again!

Legion of Super‑Heroes #1, a 40‑page debut issue written by Eisner-nominated Joshua Williamson with art and cover by Hayden Sherman and featuring variant covers by Jim Lee (card stock and foil), Mark Spears, Yasmine Putri, Hayden Sherman, Dan Mora (Michael J. Fox cameo), and V Ken Marion (1:25), will publish on September 2. Legion of Super‑Heroes #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

TEEN TITANS

The Teen Titans Go Next Level in a Bold New Era

Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo launch a new generation of Teen Titans

When one of their own vanishes after attending a rally for Ascend—a fast-growing youth movement training kids to survive in a world shaped by superhuman conflict—Fairplay, Cheshire Cat, Proxy, and Wildcard will do whatever it takes to find their friend, including teaming up with Red Hood!

Jason thinks they’re soft and reckless. They don’t understand how he can still kill people. Now they have to work together—whether they like it or not!

Created by Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, the acclaimed team behind Power Rangers: Shattered Grid and Image Comics’ Massive-Verse, this series channels the same mix of heart, scope, and style that has defined their work together—blending cinematic storytelling and Di Nicuolo’s dynamic, expressive art to bring the next generation of heroes to life.

Teen Titans #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Kyle Higgins with art and cover by Daniele Di Nicuolo and featuring variant covers by Dan Mora (card stock and foil), Jim Cheung, Sanford Greene (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), along with a card stock blank sketch cover, will publish on September 2. Teen Titans #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

The Doom Patrol

The World’s Strangest Heroes Enter a New Age

Darcy Van Poelgeest and Niko Henrichon take the Doom Patrol to the Next Level

The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to what seems like a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man—and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality—a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.

The Doom Patrol #1, a 32‑page debut issue written by Darcy Van Poelgeest with art and cover by Niko Henrichon and featuring variant covers by Clayton Crain (card stock and foil), Ian Bertram, Ashley Wood (1:25), and Hayden Sherman (Next Level), will publish on September 2. The Doom Patrol #1 will retail for $3.99 US for the main cover, $4.99 US for card stock variants, and $6.99 US for the foil variant.

Snake Plissken returns this September in Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago

Posted on by

Mad Cave Studios brings Snake Plissken back to comics this September with Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago, a new continuation series, expanding the world of John Carpenter’s beloved 1981 cult-classic film.

Written by Kyle Higgins and illustrated by Val Rodrigues, the series sends one of pop culture’s most iconic antiheroes into an all-new adventure packed with danger, violence, and the dystopian chaos that made Escape From New York a genre-defining classic.

Once you go in, you don’t come out—unless your name is Snake Plissken! Plissken now survives as a coyote, smuggling people and contraband across the dangerous dead zones between prison territories like Chicago. It’s a hard and bitter job. But when he’s hired to extract a woman wanted by the city’s warlord, Snake sees one more chance at redemption—or one more chance for the universe to kick his ass.

The debut issue features eight covers, including artwork by Stephen Mooney, Danica Brine, Dan Panosian, and Christian Ward, alongside a 1:10 virgin incentive cover by Mooney, a 1:20 incentive cover by Nick Bradshaw and Jim Charalampidis, a foil variant, and a blank sketch cover.

Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago #1 goes on sale September 23, 2026 (FOC August 24).
