Earth’s Deadliest Heroes Assemble as the New Avengers!

Posted on by

In March, Marvel announced that a new era of Thunderbolts was coming this June by writer Sam Humphries and artist Ton Lima. A startling truth is revealed—in classic Thunderbolts fashion, this latest iteration aren’t at all what they seem! They’re the New Avengers!

Since their debut as a team of disguised supervillains, the Thunderbolts have become synonymous with unpredictable twists and unconventional rosters. This legacy continues with a surprise—and first-of-its-kind—comic book title change that echoes the jaw-dropping twist in Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*, now in theaters, while introducing an entirely new—and shocking—team of heroes!

THE WINTER SOLDIER. BLACK WIDOW. EDDIE BROCK, CARNAGE. THE HULK. NAMOR. CLEA. WOLVERINE. It’s a group of the most dangerous loners and antiheroes in the Marvel Universe, and yet they’ll come together as the NEW AVENGERS! In classic Avengers fashion, they’ll assemble to take on a threat too big for any one hero to combat—corrupt clones of the Illuminati! And in the spirit of Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch decade-defining New Avengers run, this radical lineup will usher in a revolutionary new era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

Check out the covers, including a main cover by Stephen Segovia, a homage to David Finch’s iconic New Avengers #1 cover by Whilce Portacio, variants by Mark Bagley, Stephanie Hans, Josemaria Casanovas, Derrick Chew, Ejikure and Woo-Chul Lee and the first of three Marvel Studios Variant Covers.

An unstoppable hero debuts in Kid Juggernaut

Posted on by

Last year, the Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic revealed the secret legacy behind one of Marvel’s most powerful beings with the introduction of Justin Jin, aka KID JUGGERNAUT! This April, the breakout star’s unstoppable journey reaches comic shops in Kid Juggernaut #1, an extra-sized one-shot collecting Kid Juggernaut: Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic #1-6 by writer Emily Kim and artists Minkyu Jung and Peter Nguyen in print for the first time!

The grandson of the original Juggernaut, Justin Jin recently inherited a shard of the infamous gem of Cyttorak and plans to use its legendary strength to be a champion for others! In addition to his explosive origin story detailing how the Juggernaut’s power impacted his family line, Justin can be found alongside fellow heroes-in-training in the hit Avengers Academy: Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic on Marvel Unlimited, written by his co-creator Anthony Oliveira, and will be featured in the current run of New Champions—a promising start for one of Marvel’s brightest new stars!

THE UNSTOPPABLE JUSTIN JIN!

Just before his mysterious death, Justin’s father sent a package to his estranged son containing a fragment of a crimson gem…the gem of Cyttorak! How did it end up in this family’s hands? What does Cyttorak want with a sweet baker’s boy from Vancouver? And can Doctor Strange help Justin sort out these magical shenanigans before he turns into the instrument of Cyttorak’s rage?!

Check out the all-new cover by Woo-Chul Lee and preorder Kid Juggernaut #1 at your local comic shop today!

NYCC 2024: Marvel reveals Doom Academy!

Posted on by

Starting in February, “One World Under Doom” overtakes the Marvel Universe, and the first of its many tie-in series was announced at the Women of Marvel Panel at New York Comic Con: DOOM ACADEMY!

Doom Academy will be a five-issue limited series written by author Mackenzie Cadenhead and drawn by Pasqual Ferry that sees Doctor Strange’s school for young sorcerers transformed in accordance with Doom’s rule! The students of Strange Academy were instrumental in Doom’s bold reach for power in Blood Hunt, and now that he has the entire world under his mighty thumb, his influence on these breakout young Marvel heroes truly begins.

Did you think that Strange Academy would be the same in the world with Doctor Doom as Sorcerer Supreme?! NO! It is now DOOM ACADEMY! Relocated from New Orleans to Latveria, the best magic school in the world just got better (according to some). It’s the start of the second year for Strange Academy students, and you know that things will not go as planned!

Doom Academy will also feature sequences by artist João Lemos.

Announced earlier this week, “One World Under Doom” is an overarching status quo shift coming to Marvel Comics, the likes of which haven’t been seen since 2008’s Dark Reign. Spinning out of Blood Hunt where Doctor Doom manipulated Doctor Strange into passing him the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme, “One World Under Doom” sees Doom accomplish his ultimate goal as he uses his new power to take over the entire world. It’s a shocking and upending turn of events that will impact Marvel’s entire line of comics and see the launch of tie-in series and one-shots, collectively forming an era worthy of comic books’ greatest supervillain!

Check out the Doom Academy #1 main cover by Pablo Villalobos and variant covers by Ryan Brown and Woo-Chul Lee and stay tuned for more “One World Under Doom” news in the weeks ahead, including new series tie-in issue announcements.
