Jed McKay Wraps up 32 Year Avengers Run in March

New York, NY— December 23, 2025 — Superstar writer Jed MacKay closes out his time with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes this March in AVENGERS #36. Three years of dark mysteries, epic quests, and cosmos-shattering battles come to a head in a giant-sized, can’t-miss final issue, featuring artwork by current series artist Farid Karami. To celebrate this pivotal moment in Avengers history, original series artist C.F. Villa returns with a special farewell variant cover that mirrors Stuart Immonen’s cover for the debut issue of MacKay’s run.

From the introduction of the Twilight Court and the Ashen Combine to Kang’s temporal machinations and Blood Hunt, it’s been an era of dramatic triumphs and epic stakes. Now, everything Jed MacKay has built comes crashing down in this startling finale that will redefine the Avengers’ future!

On leaving the title, MacKay said, “It’s sad to say goodbye to the Avengers after the last few years of chronicling their adventures, but we certainly had some fun- introducing them to the Impossible City, putting them against their old nemesis, Kang, and even putting them through their paces in the blood-soaked first-ever Red Band event! I got to work with some of the best artists working today on some of the biggest characters Marvel has, and I’ll always remember my time with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes fondly!”

AVENGERS #36 will also set up the next era of Avengers. Fans curious about what’s next should look no further than this summer’s ARMAGEDDON, including upcoming lead-in stories to the event like Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon; Captain America #6, the start of the next arc of Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti’s Captain America run; and the recently announced Comics Giveaway Day™ title, Armageddon/X-Men #1 CGD 2026.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson goes Exclusive with Marvel

LOS ANGELES – November 25, 2025 – Phillip Kennedy Johnson, highly regarded across the comics industry for his enthralling work at major studios featuring The Hulk, Batman & Robin, Superman, and many more, has signed a multi-year contract to write comics exclusively for Marvel, effective January 2026.

The announcement comes as Marvel prepares to release the next chapter in Johnson’s ongoing run of The Hulk comics – Infernal Hulk – which arrives on shelves this Wednesday.

“My friends at Marvel have been ideal collaborators, and I’m extremely honored and excited that they’ve asked me to play such a bigger role in the company,” Johnson said. “Now that our Incredible Hulk run is kicking off its second act with Infernal Hulk #1, and with the other mind-blowing projects we’re putting together for 2026 and 2027, it felt like the time to make Marvel my comics home for a while.”

Johnson has amassed an impressive portfolio of popular comics titles since breaking into the industry in 2015, most recently continuing his acclaimed run on fan-favorites The Incredible Hulk for Marvel and Batman & Robin for DC. He is best known for his acclaimed work on Superman and Action Comics, Marvel’s Alien, Green Lantern: War Journal, and Hellhunters. He is the writer and co-creator of DC Black Label’s The Fellspyre Chronicles, BOOM! Studios’ Crocodile Black, Last Sons of America, and Warlords of Appalachia, and has also been published with Archaia, IDW, Aftershock, Dynamite, and Scout Comics. He currently teaches Creative Writing at The Joe Kubert School.

Born in Iowa and raised in Kentucky, Johnson is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University and the University of North Texas, with a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree in Music. He is recently retired from the United States Army after more than two decades of service. Outside of writing, Johnson is an active musician in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area, having served as a trumpet player with The U.S. Army Field Band of Washington, DC, from 2005 to 2025, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, the Moscow Ballet, the Dallas Opera, Washington Symphonic Brass, and more.

Infernal Hulk picks up after Hulk’s epic rematch with the Eldest, the powerful first-born child of the Mother of Horrors, from October’s Incredible Hulk #30. The Eldest’s long-seeded plan comes to fruition as it uses the power of the Strongest There Is to usher in a new Age of Monsters, unleashing a dark destiny for the entire Marvel Universe and declaring war for its very soul.

“The Hulk story we’re building up to is the most ambitious thing I’ve written to date, and the titles we’re planning for 2026 and 2027 are legitimate dream projects for me,” Johnson explained. “My son, who learned to love reading from the same old ripped-up Marvel, DC and Gold Key Comics that I used to read, gave me his unreserved blessing to do this, and that was all the advice I needed. To him, to all my other readers, and to my fellow comic fans: I promise, I won’t let you down.”

While Johnson officially joins Marvel exclusively starting in January, he will finish his current runs for other publishers, including his heralded writings for Batman & Robin and Adventures of Superman: Book of El for DC.

“I’m as close as ever with all the awesome people at DC, and my current runs on Batman & Robin and Adventures of Superman: Book of El will continue through their planned conclusions next year,” Johnson said. “Comics are about making cool stuff with your friends, and I hope my DC fans check out what we’ve got coming at Marvel. I’m still getting better at this gig, and I CANNOT WAIT to show you what we’re building at Marvel right now.”

Sorcerer Supreme Title Moves from Dr. Doom to Scarlet Witch

New York, NY— October 30, 2025 — In the wake of Victor Von Doom’s fall, a new Sorcerer Supreme rises to take his place in SORCERER SUPREME, an ongoing series launching in December. Since its announcement, the mysterious series has kept fans guessing about which magical hero would receive the mantle. Today, it’s revealed along with the series’ creative team!

Wanda Maximoff has been many things: a mother, an Avenger, and the Scarlet Witch. Now, Wanda claims a new title: Sorcerer Supreme! Follow her adventures as Earth’s primary mystical defender this December in SORCERER SUPREME, written by Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando and rising star artist Bernard Chang (Blood Hunters). Fan favorite artist Leirix will deliver spellbinding main covers. Superstar Scarlet Witch artist Russell Dauterman also returns to grace Wanda with a costume befitting her new title and provide variant covers for the first five issues. Each of Dauterman’s covers will spotlight a member of Wanda’s advisory council, including Clea, Chthon, Wiccan and more magical experts!

Defying tradition and breaking every rule, Scarlet Witch charts a bold, new path as the SORCERER SUPREME! But will her rebellious approach to the role bring magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights or leave it in ruin?

The Vishanti, unwilling to validate Wanda’s claim, anoint their own Sorcerer Supreme—AGATHA HARKNESS! Following a fiery battle with her former mentor, Wanda wakes up in Limbo, where nothing is as it seems. And if she’s going to escape, she must first defeat its ruler…MADELYNE PRYOR! And with Wanda and the Vishanti distracted, what rising mystical threats have escaped their notice? Determined to fulfill her sacred new duty, Wanda expands her scope and redefines her power to protect the world like no Sorcerer Supreme ever has!

On Wanda’s new direction, Orlando said, “When it comes to the Scarlet Witch…anything’s possible! Those are the works Wanda lives by, and they’re the words we as creators live by too. So, with the Sorcerer Supreme title in the wind after One World Under Doom, the question became—who’s the next to wield the cloak and the eye? Or more precisely, who could hear such powerful artifacts crying out from the edge of destruction? And in the Marvel Universe, there’s one person above all who hears you when no one else will—Wanda Maximoff!”

“I can’t wait for folks to see Wanda take up the cloak and the eye—for the primal disruptor to shake things up in the face of magic’s proprietors…with nothing less than the betterment of all in mind,” he continued. “And to be working with the incredible Bernard Chang and Ruth Redmond? That’s a dream come true, folks—each page they touch brings style and power to Wanda like never before!”

“I am overly excited about joining Steve and Ruth and the rest of the SORCERER SUPREME team,” Chang said. “We are putting our hearts and souls into crafting a new journey for one of Marvel Comics’ most powerful heroes. While this is my first time tackling the wonderful Wanda Maximoff, I look forward to the challenges ahead and aim to garner the trust and enthusiasm from both her longtime readers and new ones, and I hope you will come along for the ride.”

Check out the first three main covers by Leirix, along with variant covers by Rose Besch, Mark Brooks, Devmalya Pramanik, and Jenny Frison. In addition, check out the first three of Russell Dauterman’s variant covers as well as a variant cover spotlighting his original design sheet for Wanda’s new look. Plus, Inhyuk Lee captures the current state of Marvel magic in newly revealed connecting covers for WICCAN: WITCHES’ ROAD #1, DOCTOR STRANGE #1, and SORCERER SUPREME #1, all on sale in December, and Marvel’s Stormbreaker artist Geoff Shaw’s Winter Break Variant Cover for SORCERER SUPREME #1 is unveiled!

Marvel ends Ultraman Association with FInal Miniseries

New York, NY— October 31, 2025 — The climactic chapter of Marvel Comics’ acclaimed ULTRAMAN comic book saga arrives this February in THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN! The one-shot will be written by Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom, the duo behind Ultraman’s Marvel journey since its inception, and drawn by artist Davide Tinto, who returns after his work on Ultraman: The Mystery of Ultraseven.

Made in collaboration with Tsuburaya Productions, Marvel’s venture into the Ultraman mythos began in 2020’s The Rise of Ultraman, which delivered a bold reimagining of the pop culture icon’s classic origin. Ultraman’s Marvel adventures continued in The Trials of Ultraman, Ultraman: The Mystery of Ultraseven, and last year’s Ultraman X the Avengers, where Japan’s greatest superhero finally crossed over with the heroes of the Marvel Universe! It’s all been leading to this—at long last, witness the end of this incredible chapter in Ultraman’s groundbreaking legacy in THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN!

Together, they’ve crossed dimensions, unfurled conspiracies, tangled with giant Kaiju, and saved civilizations. But now, Ultraman and his team are given an unexpected glimpse at the path ahead – and that path leads unavoidably to the loss of our world’s greatest hero! What cosmic threat will be Ultraman’s undoing? Will the United Science Patrol be redeemed? And will Earth finally be lost to the sinister machinations that have been plaguing it for decades? It’s time to find out!

“Our very first version of the initial pitch for The Rise of Ultraman, our first Ultraman limited series, included an outline of how the saga would end,” Groom explained. “Now, five years later, that end is here, and it comes bearing the same title as it did in that first outline: THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN.

“It’s bittersweet to be saying goodbye to Shin, Kiki, Dan, and the rest of the Ultra Guard — but we’re thankful that we get to give them the send-off they deserve, and give Ultraman a final challenge worthy of both his shining heart and towering stature,” he continued. “For the fans who have been with us from Rise to Fall, thank you — we hope you enjoy the finale!”

“It’s been one of the great honors of my career to spend the last five years helping bring a new interpretation of Ultraman to Western comic book readers,” Higgins shared. “Getting to play even a small part in expanding such a timeless, heroic mythology has meant the world to me. My deepest thanks to C.B. Cebulski, Tom Brevoort, Jeff Gomez, Danny Simon, Kei Minamitani, and everyone at Tsuburaya Productions, as well as the incredible artists who brought these stories to life. And most of all, to my partner through every step of this journey, Mat Groom — without him, there simply wouldn’t be a series.”

Ted gets to know the team – including Team Captain Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), top scorer Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) and more – but finds his first friend in the locker room assistant Nathan (Nick Mohammed). Half a world away from his wife and child, Ted could use a friend. But he presses on, nevertheless. Richmond is about to change the way they’re doing things — and from now on, that is the Lasso way.

The United Captains Arrive in Captain America #6

  • News
  • August 19, 2025

New York, NY— August 19, 2025 — Last month saw the launch of an all-new run of CAPTAIN AMERICA by Eisner-nominated writer Chip Zdarsky and superstar artist Valerio Schiti. One of the most acclaimed Marvel debut issues of the year, the new series kicks off with a five-part saga set shortly after Steve Rogers emerged from his icy slumber, revealing the star-spangled hero’s first confrontation with Doctor Doom. The second arc will start in CAPTAIN AMERICA #6, on sale in December, and will take place in the present day as Captain America deals with the direct aftermath of Doom’s fall, following One World Under Doom. In addition to Schiti, the arc will be drawn by guest artists Frank Alpizar and Delio Diaz, a duo making their Marvel Comics debut later this month in Doomed 2099, who kick things off in issue #6. 

The new storyline will introduce four new characters, each representing one of the five permanent member countries of the United Nations Security Council: CAPTAIN KINGDOM, representing the United Kingdom; CAPTAIN FRANCE, representing France; RED WIDOW, representing Russia; and THE STAR, representing China. Dubbed the “United Captains,” they’ll assemble with Captain America to keep Latveria from falling into chaos, but upon infiltrating the unstable—and highly advanced—country, their true motives will be revealed. Bringing Captain America’s bold new era to present day in full force, the storyline positions him as a pivotal player in determining the current state of the Marvel Universe and is essential reading for major events coming next year.

A WORLD WITHOUT DOOM!

The aftermath of One World Under Doom has brought Latveria to the brink of civil war. Captain America deploys to protect civilians and investigate rumors of a weapons stockpile—but when the United Nations Security Council adds their own loyal Super-Soldiers to the mix, it becomes clear that everyone wants a piece of Latveria—no matter the cost. With warring factions tearing the country apart and a team of Captains pursuing their own agendas, can Captain America hope to bring peace to Latveria? And is that even what his handlers want?

“I love the idea of “official” super heroes, ones who work within the system,” Zdarsky told ComicBook.com in an exclusive interview. “It felt like there would be some sort of United Nations representatives from the Security Council member countries to deal with situations like Latveria. So, the United Captains came from that idea, a team that isn’t a team, that may have their own agendas.”

Schiti’s work on the X-Men titles and G.O.D.S. has made him one of Marvel’s premier character designers. Now, he brings his skills to CAPTAIN AMERICA, modernizing Cap’s suit and creating fantastic, instantly iconic costumes for the four new United Captains, each of which will be spotlighted on design variant covers for CAPTAIN AMERICA #6-9.

“One of the things I like most about my job is designing new characters,” Schiti said. “It has always been a great hobby of mine, even before becoming a professional! I tried to incorporate some traditional symbols from the countries of origin of the new Captains into their uniforms, which are also practical and suitable for combat.”

White Tiger Reborn Celebrates Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month

New York, NY— July 21, 2025 — Marvel Comics will celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month this year by spotlighting Marvel Comics’ first Latin Super Hero in WHITE TIGER REBORN #1, a Marvel’s Voices Comunidades special. The one-shot will feature two gripping tales: a story by superstar writer Daniel José Older and rising star artist Bruno Abdias and a story by Bram Stoker award winner Cynthia Pelayo and acclaimed artist Moises Hidalgo, marking the exciting Marvel Comics debut of both Abdias and Pelayo.

The special will uncover never-before-seen moments in the original White Tiger Hector Ayala’s history and propel current White Tiger, Ava Ayala, into a new era as she reforges her link to the Tiger God and makes the mantle her own. In addition, October’s issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and Incredible Hulk will have WHITE TIGER TEAM-UP VARIANT COVERS by iconic artist J. Gonzo that each showcase one of the three bearers of the White Tiger mantle alongside the series’ titular star.

THE RETURN OF THE WHITE TIGER!

Ava Ayala is the current wielder of the powers of the White Tiger, bearing the amulet of power that imbue its host with a connection to mystical power and martial arts prowess. As Ava returns to her old stomping grounds to protect the innocent, she becomes embroiled in a mystery that forces her to confront her family’s murder and history linking them to the White Tiger mantle as Ava is brought face-to-face with – Hector Ayala, her dead brother and the original White Tiger?!

“While it’s always a deep honor to carry on the legacy that Bill Mantlo and George Pérez began so many years ago, this story feels particularly special, as it marks a major turning point in the decades-long saga of the White Tiger,” Older shared. 

“As a Puerto Rican author, it is an honor to make my Marvel Comics debut with White Tiger,” Pelayo said. “I’m grateful to be a part of the experience of new audiences, and old, learning about the legacy of the first Latin American, and Puerto Rican, superhero in the history of American comic books.”
