New Age of Apocalypse Event Coming in September

New York, NY— May 9, 2025 — This September, Marvel Comics marks the 30th anniversary of Age of Apocalypse, a groundbreaking X-Men storyline, with X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE, an all-new six-part event series by legendary writer Jeph Loeb, one of the creators behind the original Age of Apocalypse, and, in his first series since returning to Marvel earlier this year, Eisner nominated artist Simone Di Meo.

Mirroring the first Age of Apocalypse saga, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE will kick off in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1, continue through X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1-4 starting in November, and conclude in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE OMEGA #1. A prelude to the event will be featured in Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1 next month, where Loeb and Di Meo team up for the one-shot’s special Revelations Backup story.

THE X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE CRASH INTO THE MAIN MARVEL UNIVERSE!

A dystopian future created when Charles Xavier was killed, AGE OF APOCALYPSE is home to a wartorn group of X-Men led by Magneto. In order to free their Earth from Apocalypse’s cruel reign, they were willing to sacrifice their very existence—or so they thought! The main timeline was restored, Apocalypse was defeated, but their world lived on!

Taking place in the direct aftermath of the original crossover’s explosive finale, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE reignites the mission of this iconic reality’s X-Men as they journey here to ensure their universe’s survival. This desperate mission will take them into the main Marvel Universe, where they will come into conflict with their classic counterparts, forever impacting both team’s destinies!

“Thirty years ago, THE X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE took the comics world by storm and I was lucky enough to be part of it,” Loeb shared. “There were new characters! New designs! Heroes who were villains and villains who were heroes! Now, for the 30th anniversary, an all-new, all-different story with spectacular art by Simone Di Meo brings us to this uncanny team that shouldn’t even exist — and they are coming here! Join Gambit, Sabretooth & Wild Child, Blink, Forge and Morph and more as they try to save one universe without dooming another!”

“Working with a legend like Jeph is really exciting,” Di Meo said. “I’ve known his work for years along with the great impact it’s had on this industry and I’m really honored. Beyond that, I’ve really found a friend and someone who’s passionate about his work so it’s really nice to work with him, Marvel and Tom [Brevoort] together day by day trying to build the best book of my career.

“Being able to touch a legendary story like Age of Apocalypse is unexpected for me, that event has an important place in Marvel history, and being able to enter it and give my own take is absolutely incredible. I’m giving my all to make all the readers happy, from the longtime fans who loved the event in the ‘90s and the new ones who I hope can become just as passionate about it. I’m excited and nervous at the same time!”

New Avengers Revived with New Roster, New Mission

New York, NY— May 7, 2025 — In March, Marvel Comics announced that a new era of THUNDERBOLTS was coming this June by writer Sam Humphries (Uncanny X-Force) and artist Ton Lima (West Coast Avengers). Today, a startling truth is revealed—in classic Thunderbolts fashion, this latest iteration isn’t at all what it seems! 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, 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’s decade-defining New Avengers run, this radical lineup will usher in a revolutionary new era of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

Elated to talk about the secret change finally, Humphries said, “Plot twist–it’s been NEW AVENGERS all along! I promised surprises, and this is the first of many. It’s a thrill and an honor to continue the grand New Avengers tradition of team dynamics that are as explosive as the threats. And this era has two combustible teams: the New Avengers and the Killuminati!”  Check out the covers, including a homage to David Finch’s iconic New Avengers #1 cover by Whilce Portacio, newly revealed character variants by Derrick Chew, Ejikure, and Woo-Chul Lee, and the first of three Marvel Studios Variant Covers.

Black Cat Gains New Ongoing, New Modus Operandi

New York, NY— May 6, 2025 — This August, BLACK CAT is back in an all-new solo ongoing series written by superstar writer G. Willow Wilson (Ms. Marvel) and drawn by rising star Gleb Melnikov (Amazing Spider-Man). Spinning directly out of Joe Kelly, Pepe Larraz, and John Romita Jr.’s Amazing Spider-Man, BLACK CAT kicks off with Felicia Hardy testing her luck at being a full-fledged super hero. The series will be a radical shift for the character’s solo adventures as Black Cat is battling supervillains, including many of Spider-Man’s most fearsome foes, amidst her usual high-stakes capers. But is her most recent change of heart for purely altruistic reasons or simply a way to pull off her greatest heist yet?

SUPER-THIEF, SUPER…HERO?!

Felicia Hardy is the BLACK CAT, the world’s slyest and most skilled super-thief! She loves a good score. The longer the odds, the better! But her entire world turned upside down after SPIDER-MAN’s brutal battle with HELLGATE in Amazing Spider-Man #8-9, so Felicia is turning over a new leaf as New York City’s newest…super hero?! The first super villain on her list – THE LIZARD! But will the Black Cat risk it all after her do-gooding moral high ground attracts dangerous attention from the lowest of the city’s underworld? Easy, KINGPIN OF CRIME, she’s still skimming off the top – honest! Don’t miss the winding road of twists, turns, laughs, and mind-bending action of BLACK CAT’s next exciting chapter!

The series marks Wilson’s first ongoing Marvel series since her groundbreaking run of Ms. Marvel ended. Wilson wrote a short tale starring Black Cat in Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood #4 last year.

“As soon as Spider-Man: Black Suit & Blood dropped and people saw the Black Cat story, readers began to ask me ‘When are you going to write more Felicia?’ Well, the answer is: right now,” Wilson shared. “Black Cat is so much fun to work with. She’s a supporting character with main character energy. And she has such a rich history that there are tons of tantalizing story threads to pull on.”

“I was itching to draw more of Felicia after finishing my first Spider-Man issue, so when [Editor] Tom Groneman asked if I was interested in working on the BLACK CAT series, I typed ‘YES!’ faster than a lightning bolt,” Melnikov said. “Black leather, street-level fights, and the chance to draw our favorite usual suspects from Spidey’s rogues gallery? Sign me up! Not to mention I’m very excited to work with Willow and color artist Brian Valenza.”

In addition to writing the first and last installments, Guggenheim will team up with artist Michael Sta. Maria for a backup story in each issue, shedding light on Mephisto’s overarching scheme and the mysterious new villain SISTER SORROW! 

Acclaimed writer, military-history buff Stephanie Phillips, and moody, dynamic artist Tomasso Bianchi dive deep into their dark sides in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: RED SKULL #1! Witness Red Skull at his most sinister in a story from his ruthless past during the dark days of World War II, along with the horrible future that awaits Captain America as a result, thanks to a deal with the devil himself!

Then, join acclaimed creators, writer Alex Paknadel and artist Javier Pina, as they dare to test the dread Dormammu in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DORMAMMU #1! The saga takes a mind-bending turn as Dormammu is drawn into a battle across generations, and the arcane horrors of the Dark Dimension come to life as vividly as you’ve never seen them before! But what could move Dormammu to help anyone seeking his aid?

Finally, all seven villains’ paths collide in the grand finale, BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: MEPHISTO #1 by event architect Marc Guggenheim and artist Álvaro López. Victory is in Mephisto’s grasp as he prepares to control all souls on Earth! But who is the mysterious figure who stands against him?
