Announced at IGN, fans will be able to revisit Spider-Man: The Animated Series this September in SPIDER-MAN ’94, a new comic series that delivers an all-new adventure set in the world of the iconic ‘90s show! The five-issue limited series will be written by legendary Spider-Scribe J.M. DeMatteis and drawn by rising star artist Jim Towe (X-Force).

Premiering in 1994 and running for five seasons, Spider-Man: The Animated Series is considered one the most popular animated comic book adaptions of all time. The hit series ended with Spider-Man entering the multiverse to save Mary Jane. Now, nearly thirty years later, this cliffhanger is officially resolved as the SPIDER-MAN ’94 comic book series continues with storytelling set after the dramatic final episode. The saga will also introduce the animated universe’s versions of comic book characters that never appeared in the original series.

THE HIT ’90s ANIMATED SERIES RETURNS!

After searching to the ends of the Multiverse, PETER PARKER – the AMAZING, the SPECTACULAR, the RADIOACTIVE Web-Head himself – A.K.A. SPIDER-MAN, swings back into the streets of New York City with his beloved Mary Jane Watson in tow! But what’s this? One of these villains is not like the others: Witness this universe’s debut of not one, but TWO of Spider-Man’s greatest villains from the comics—MORLUN and KAINE! Break out your action figures, and post up in front of the TV as we bring you back to the greatest era of animated super hero television in history! You’re never going to expect the twists and turns ahead for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!

“The 1990s Spider-Man animated series has become a beloved part of Spidey lore—it was the introduction to Peter Parker and his universe for an entire generation—and I’m delighted to be diving back into that universe,” DeMatteis told IGN. “We’re treating this as the next season of the show, which means introducing new villains, new challenges, new adventures for Peter—while doing our best to remain true to the creative spirit that John Semper and company established with the original show.”

Marvel Comics is thrilled to reveal two new comic series set in the galaxy far, far away, STAR WARS: BOBA FETT – BLACK, WHITE & RED and STAR WARS: HAN SOLO – HUNT FOR THE FALCON, both launching in September. Exploring different eras of the Star Wars mythos, the two limited series are perfect standalone entry points into Marvel Comics’ acclaimed Star Wars storytelling. Packed with revelations about two of the franchise’s greatest icons and tying up a longstanding Star Wars mystery also make them must-haves for longtime fans!

Announced yesterday at StarWars.com, STAR WARS: BOBA FETT – BLACK, WHITE & RED is the third Star Wars title under Marvel’s hit Black, White & Blood imprint. Starring only the most ruthless characters, Boba Fett follows in the footsteps of previous Black, White & Red headliners, Darth Vader and Darth Maul. Set across Boba’s storied history, each issue sees all-star creators team up to tell the most notorious exploits of the galaxy’s most feared bounty hunter!

The first issue will be by acclaimed writer Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and superstar artist Chris Allen (Black Panther). Titled “The Impossible Job,” the story finds Boba Fett trapped in a situation he seemingly can’t get out of when both the Empire and an extreme Rebel faction are after the same bounty as him! Fett needs to track down a deadly individual who has played both sides, and – to make things even more impossible – his target is hiding out in a volatile volcanic system!

“We’re setting a major sequence in a lava system that Fett has to navigate to hunt down the best thief in the galaxy,” Percy told StarWars.com. “I’m so lucky to join forces with artist Chris Allen, who brings his eye for dynamic action, wild layouts, and granular detail to this twisty, turny story that will keep you guessing until the end.”

“We’re really excited about this talent and stories in these issues,” Editor Mark Paniccia added. “All of them weave seamlessly into a galaxy filled with rogues, criminals, assassins, and other bounty hunters, and there are some very cool surprises and deep dives.”

Announced earlier this week at Newsarama, STAR WARS: HAN SOLO – HUNT FOR THE FALCON reveals an untold adventure set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The five-part saga comes from two acclaimed modern Star Wars storytellers, writer Rodney Barnes (Star Wars: Ahsoka) and artist Ramon Rosanas (Star Wars), known for their work together on last year’s Star Wars: Inquisitors.

IN THE TIME BEFORE THE FORCE AWAKENS, WHERE IS THE MILLENNIUM FALCON?!

Less than satisfied with a settled life, Han Solo lands on the idea of reclaiming the Falcon and returning to a life of adventure. The problem is, he can’t find it. After enlisting a less-than-enthusiastic Chewbacca, the duo embarks upon a quest to reclaim the greatest ship in the galaxy. Standing in their way are a laundry list of rogues who have staked a claim to the Millennium Falcon as well, like the villainous scoundrel who stole the Falcon, Ducain.

“Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon is a dream come true,” Barnes told Newsarama. “Han, Leia, Chewbacca and Lando were my heroes when I was a kid. To write an adventure that includes that quartet (and more!) is truly an honor. One huge check off my bucket list!” “Rodney is pulling all these characters who’ve had history with the Falcon and having them cross their deadly paths,” Paniccia explained. “It’s a very fun ride that captures the heart of who Han Solo is while throwing him into some ‘uncomfortable’ situations. And Ramon Rosanas is doing some of the best work of his career on this. This is a special project for him, and the detail he brings to the ships and locations is magnificent.”

After the overwhelming success of the debut graphic novel, Dynamite Entertainment and Dan Wickline are pleased to welcome fans back to the erotic adventures of Karma.

This September we’ll see this exciting love story continue and what happens as everything around them starts to change. Writer Dan Wickline (Grimm Fairy Tales, The Freeze) pulls inspiration from his own experiences as a professional photographer to continue this provocative drama. He’s joined by the beautiful art of Carlos Reno, who stunned fans with his work on the first volume. Superstar artist Stjepan Šejic painted the stunning cover.

While the first graphic novel introduced us to the stunningly beautiful Karma, a supermodel looking to expand her brand, and Alex, a professional photographer who specializes in product advertising, and showed us how they came together, that is only the beginning. Now the two have to turn that magical spark into a relationship amid things changing all around them. Alex is gutted when the magazine he works for is bought out, but finds himself being pulled into a completely different direction. Meanwhile, Karma has to deal with someone close to her possibly leaving. And all of this gets upended even further when a child actor-turned-pop icon gets involved in their lives. Can this brand-new relationship survive all of this outside pressure?

This new volume deals with the real pressures a relationship must endure while growing, but also includes the wild, erotic adventures that Karma finds herself in, from a BDSM shoot, to a wild industry party, to an intimate and sexy trip to get ice cream. The passion and adventure that drew these two together intensify even further in this new story.

This October, Marvel Trick-Or-Read, the program that allows comic shops to hand out recent hit comics to visitors during the Halloween season, returns for another year!

In Partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, Dynamite Entertainment announces The Wizard of Oz in a complete graphic novel adaptation by superstar Soo Lee this September.

Audiences have been captivated by The Wizard of Oz for over 85 years, since its release in 1939. Around that same time, the burgeoning medium and industry of comic books and graphic novel storytelling were flying off the newsstands and into the hearts of readers, setting the foundations for another incredible art form. Previously, DC and Marvel teamed up to produce a well-regarded tabloid adaptation in the 1970s.

Now eighty-five years later these two worlds collide as the wickedly talented Soo Lee (ThunderCats: Cheetara, Disney Villains: Maleficent) flexes her complete artistic skills as writer, artist, and cover artist for an enchanting new vision of the timeless classic. All ages will enjoy following a young girl named Dorothy, her adorable dog Toto, and the beloved friends they will meet and help along the way.

The Wizard of Oz tells the tale of a young Kansas girl who dreams of a better world “somewhere over the rainbow.” When Dorothy is thrust into the eye of a tornado and lands in the fantasy world of Oz, she soon finds herself in a heap of trouble with three hapless misfits to guide, an evil witch at her heels, and no way to get home. The Wizard of Oz: The Official Film Adaptation Graphic Novel is an enduring tale and message of friendship, intelligence, heart, and bravery.

J. Michael Straczynski, one of the most impactful writers in Spider-Man history, returns to the webbed wonder this October in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN, a five-issue limited series. Straczynski will be joined by acclaimed artist Pere Pérez (TVA, Venom War: Carnage). The prolific writer is known for his influential work throughout the Marvel Universe including one of the most celebrated runs of Amazing Spider-Man! For years, fans have hoped for JMS to make his return to Spidey storytelling! Now, he’s back with an unforgettable Spider-Man saga that’s perfect for all fans, but this time, he’s digging into a very different part of Spidey history!

Swing back to Peter’s college days at Empire State University with Gwen, Harry, MJ and Flash! Spidey takes on classic villains but JMS and Pere introduce a terrifying new villain and side of the Marvel Universe that will reverberate into the present from the past!

“JMS wrote some of my favorite Amazing Spider-Man issues of all time (MORLUN FIGHT! DR. STRANGE CO-STAR STUFF!) so when he said he was interested in coming back to Spidey, I had already jumped at the chance and landed bad and twisted my ankle but I’m okay now,” says Spider-Editor Nick Lowe. “Add Pere Pérez, one of the most inventive artists working in comics, Guru eFX on colors and stories of one of the best eras of Spidey’s history?!?!?! HOW LUCKY ARE WE?!?!”

I am beyond excited to be working on this book,” Pérez shared. “Being a long time Spidey and JMS fan, this gig is a dream come true. I expected to have fun drawing the Spider-Man action scenes, but Joe is writing such great dialogue scenes for Peter and the supporting cast that I’m enjoying those even more. To sum up, this book is fun, exciting, moving, and we even have a new villain!”

Vampirella is a woman, yet also a vampire, and an alien. In a modern world where the search for identity is pivotal, the Daughter of Drakulon finds herself caught questioning if she is even an actual person. Christopher Priest’s half-decade-plus legendary run ramps up in Vampirella #7 — legacy numbering #682 — for its next thrilling story arc!

Vampirella was originally created by her mother Lilith as a near-virtual clone of her first daughter Draculina. This raises a question: does Vampi in fact have a living soul? Does she possess all the rights and responsibilities of personhood? Or is she merely a construct, devised by dark sorcery and now an aimless husk, having fulfilled her mother’s purpose?

Following the devastating denouement of “The Long Night” in issues #1-6 of the new Vampirella series, industry titan and innovator Christopher Priest kicks into the next gear for another of his patented and unparalleled character deconstructions. He is now joined by rising artist Davis Goetten, ready to depict the haunted world of Vampirella’s psyche.

After the future-shock of “The Long Night,” the distraught vampiress takes refuge in the tiny Caribbean island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, alongside her friend and lover The Saint — last seen in Vampirella: Year One. There she is confronted by a powerful sentient artificial life form known as Aris, who is trying to revive the enigmatic Host, an alien life form to which Vampirella was briefly connected to in a past tale. As this entity journeys through the mind of Vampirella, her deepest insecurities are set against a dark mirror of Aris’ own confident acceptance of non-personhood.

Starting this September in Vampirella #7, and running through issue #11, “Identitatem” is another can’t-miss classic in the making. Fans will not want to miss this take on trouble in paradise! With the first appearance of new foe Aris, fans are encouraged to preorder this issue!

To commemorate the brand-new arc and jumping-on point, a cavalcade of covers from Lucio Parrillo, Derrick Chew, Joseph Michael Linsner, Elias Chatzoudis, and cosplayer Rachel Hollon invite fans to sink their teeth into them — or at least pick them up for their collection!

New York, NY— June 20, 2025 — Announced last month, Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth meets DC’s Dark Knight this September in MARVEL/DC: DEADPOOL/BATMAN #1, a Marvel/DC crossover more than twenty years in the making!

The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be written by Zeb Wells and drawn by industry superstar Greg Capullo. The one-shot will also feature additional backup stories spotlighting other exciting Marvel and DC team-ups from a lineup of all-star talent, including Daredevil and Green Arrow by Kevin Smith and Adam Kubert, Captain America and Wonder Woman by Chip Zdarsky and Terry Dodson, and Jeff the Land Shark and Krypto by Kelly Thompson and Gurihiru. Each story will be reflected by its own variant cover. Today, fans can check out the Daredevil/Green Lantern Cover by acclaimed Daredevil artist Marco Checchetto and the Jeff the Land Shark/Krypto cover by Gurihiru. Plus, feast your eyes on an epic wraparound variant cover by Capullo.

“We’re going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters,” Editor Mark Basso shared. “We can’t wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And we’ve got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!”

“This has been surreal to say the least!” Zdarsky said. “Captain America and Wonder Woman are the best their worlds have to offer, both warriors for peace. Getting to explore the dynamic history between them has been genuinely exciting.”

“Two ICONS meeting for the first time!” Thompson said. “It’s such an honor for Jeff to get to be Marvel’s ambassador in this crossover story with Krypto. Anyone who loves comics knows how rare it is for DC and Marvel to crossover, so Jeff getting to be part of this historic moment with Krypto, and Gurihiru and I getting to bring that tale to readers… well, sometimes this job is very cool.”
