Miracleman joins Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto’s Avengers #1

Posted on by Leave a comment

Earlier this week, a legendary comic book super hero was reborn in the Marvel Universe: MIRACLEMAN! David Colton, the former Captain America introduced in Chip Zdarsky’s Captain America run, inherited Miracleman’s legacy and extraordinary power amidst the team’s epic showdown with Red Hulk in Avengers: Armageddon #4. When the dust settles from this cataclysmic battle, a new era for Marvel’s heroes begins and Miracleman will be at the center of it as the final member of a bold new Avengers lineup debuting in Avengers #1 by Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto, on sale November 4. Today, fans can check out the final main cover for Avengers #1, now featuring Miracleman alongside the team, plus a slew of previously classified variant covers spotlighting the iconic character.

The newly revealed covers include True Believers Blind Bag Exclusive Covers, including a brand-new piece by definitive Miracleman artist Alan Davis. Also unveiled are stunning covers by Artgerm, Skottie Young, Jim Cheung, and Julian Totino Tedesco, as well as the complete Kaare Andrews Wraparound Cover, now featuring Miracleman.

Also revealed is Mark Spears’ Display Box Exclusive Variant Cover, available only in Avengers #1 True Believers Display Boxes. Each True Believers Display Box contains 20 copies of the issue, including one copy of the Spears variant cover in a special polybag and 19 True Believers Blind Bags.

In the aftermath of Armageddon, the world has turned its back on Earth’s Mightiest Heroes—but it may need them now more than ever as the devil has come to collect his due! When a demonic invasion erupts on Earth, CAPTAIN MARVEL, SPIDER-MAN, DAREDEVIL, WOLVERINE, LUKE CAGE and MIRACLEMAN assemble to save a world that no longer trusts them. But the unpredictable David Colton may not be able to be trusted with his godlike new abilities. And when gods cry war…the world may pay the price.

Avengers #1 True Believers Blind Bags will only contain exclusive variant covers not available for regular ordering.

Do not miss a single chapter of this multipart magnum opus and the revelation of the unstoppable force that will totally, permanently kill fraggin’ Lobo, of all people!

Check out the first 10 pages of It Demands Sacrifice #1 by Philip Gelatt, David Yarovesky, Adam Pollina, and Dean White

This October… blood will be spilled in It Demands Sacrifice! Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt, the principal writer behind Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots, and filmmaker David Yarovesky, the twisted mind behind the superhero horror sensation Brightburn, have joined forces with artist Adam Pollina and colorist Dean White to unleash It Demands Sacrifice.

On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.

Then, in a single night, everything changes.

A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond.

Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them.

Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.

It Demands Sacrifice #1 features covers by Skottie Young, Tony Fleecs, Patrick Horvath, Mark Buckingham, Brett Bean, and more, and arrives in stores on October 7.

SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THIS ONE! Four out of five dentists agree that the Tooth Fairy is real, and they’re freaky enough to make your teeth chatter right out of your head! Good thing Lobo’s teeth always grow back, because he’s been hired to merc the mystical master of molars, and the pay’s good enough to make a Main Man want to get the fluoride treatment. If you’re familiar with Lobo’s previous contracts and specials, you know you can’t miss this one!

Bad Idea reveals Skottie Young’s twisted It Demands Sacrifice #1 cover

Posted on by

This October, Bad Idea is going to Hell…and Skottie Young is going with them. The publisher has revealed Young’s twisted new cover for It Demands Sacrifice #1, the new horror series from Philip Gelatt, David Yarovesky, artist Adam Pollina, and colorist Dean White.

It Demands Sacrifice begins with a simple nightmare: a family of goats is abducted by a drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie cult. But this isn’t your average goat sacrifice. Hundreds of cultists have gathered for a blood-soaked ritual designed to summon something far worse, and the only thing standing between them and Hell on Earth is Bronson, the littlest goat of the family.

Now, Skottie Young brings his unmistakable brand of cute, deranged, and deeply wrong to the ritual with a cover worthy of the sacrifice.

Take your first look at Skottie Young’s It Demands Sacrifice #1 cover below.

It Demands Sacrifice #1 arrives this October from Bad Idea.
