ComicsPro 2025: The Balance of Power is Forever Changed in Marvel’s Bring on the Bad Guys Event

This June, behold the fury of Marvel’s greatest supervillains in Bring on the Bad Guys!

Announced at ComicsPro, Bring on the Bad Guys is a seven-part event celebrating the nearly 50 year legacy of the groundbreaking Bring on the Bad Guys trade paperback. Pioneering how comics were collected, the original Bring on the Bad Guys collected key early stories of Marvel’s most iconic supervillains. The upcoming new Bring on the Bad Guys delivers a blood pounding experience across seven one-shots starring those same infamous characters: Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, Abomination, Loki, Red Skull, Dormammu, and Mephisto.

The overarching saga will be spearheaded by Emmy Award-winning writer Marc Guggenheim who kick things off in Bring on the Bad Guys: Doctor Doom alongside acclaimed artist Stefano Raffaele and delivers the event’s epic conclusion in Bring on the Bad Guys: Mephisto. A lineup of superstar creators craft the additional one-shots, each of which will contain a special backup story by Guggenheim shedding light on Mephisto’s dastardly plot AND revealing the origin of the mysterious SISTER SORROW, a new villain who plays a pivotal role throughout the storyline.

THE BALANCE OF POWER IS FOREVER CHANGED!

Mephisto seeks enough souls to power an ancient artifact called the SOUL FORGE – destined to give him dominion over ALL human souls! Doom must stop him at all costs, but who is the mysterious Sister Sorrow, and what is her connection to Mephisto’s ultimate scheme?

Check out Mike McKone’s homage to John Romita’s original cover along with the first of Lee Bermejo’s main covers. Plus, get your first look at SISTER SORROW in a stunning variant cover by Leirix. Stay tuned for more Bring on the Bad Guys announcements, including creative team and cover reveals.
