Get Ready for a Cosmic Collision: A Deep Dive into DC's "King Omega" Event!

Hold onto your capes, DC fans! The next major comic book event is not what you think it is, and the details are even more epic than we imagined.

In an interview that has the entire industry buzzing, legendary writer Scott Snyder himself revealed the truth behind the title DC K.O. As reported by our friends at Bleeding Cool, the "K.O." does not stand for "Knockout" but for the terrifying new threat: King Omega.

---

A Multiverse-Spanning Tournament of Power!

This is a cosmic, gladiatorial free-for-all on an unprecedented scale! DC’s greatest heroes are being thrown into a massive tournament with one desperate goal: to create a single, all-powerful champion. Their mission is to generate enough raw Omega energy to stand against the ultimate enemy—a terrifyingly omnipotent Darkseid who has ascended to the title of "King Omega" in the Absolute Universe!

Scott Snyder revealed that the tournament will feature a staggering 36 fighters from across the DC Universe, all duking it out on Earth, which has been transformed into a five-level gladiatorial arena. This is about a desperate, noble cause to create a hero strong enough to challenge a being who is the "entire totality of Omega energy."

A Fresh and Personal Story with Far-Reaching Consequences!

This crossover promises to be a deeply personal and groundbreaking story. Snyder noted that unlike Marvel, DC has not done many large-scale "fight events," making this a truly unique and fresh take on a classic comic trope. The heart of the story, as Snyder explains, is a very personal one wrapped in "nine layers of candy exploding in your face."

The action will not be contained to the main five-issue series, either! This event is set to have major tie-ins with your favorite titles, including Justice League: The Omega Act, Titans, Superman, Justice League Unlimited, and The Flash. Prepare for a wave of new "Absolute Universe" comics and major line changes spinning out of this event.

This is a cosmic showdown to save the entire universe from an all-powerful Darkseid, and it’s an event you absolutely will not want to miss!

What do you think of a DC Comics gladiator tournament? Will your favorite hero be the one to become the ultimate champion? Let us know in the comments!

Marvel Jumping on Grab Bag Trend with Ultimate Endgame #1

Following the success of Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment's blind bag release for Invincible Universe: Battle Beast, which garnered over 400,000 orders, Marvel Comics is now joining the trend.

The publisher is launching its own blind bag program for the upcoming Ultimate Endgame #1, a five-issue series written by Deniz Camp with art by Jonas Scharf and Terry Dodson. This initiative is designed to emulate the excitement of opening a pack of trading cards in hopes of finding a rare item.

The "True Believers Blind Bags" will be sealed, and each will contain one of the many available covers for the issue. Randomly inserted packs will also include variant covers exclusive to the blind bag program, including "secret" covers that will remain unrevealed until a collector opens the bag.

This new program provides a fresh way for local comic shops to engage with their customers and offers collectors an exciting opportunity to hunt for rare variants.

Across thousands of worlds, the dead have risen. These Black Lanterns, heroes and villains recruited from beyond the grave, have one purpose: to extinguish all light—and life—in the universe. Hal Jordan has overcome death once before. As the greatest Green Lantern to ever wield the emerald ring, it is Hal’s unquestioned duty to lead the living against this overwhelming army of the dead. While Blackest Night consumes Earth’s heroes, the seven Corps, empowered by the emotional spectrum, must end their war against each other—or bear witness to the end of all creation. As Earth becomes the ultimate battleground between the living and the dead, there is only one certainty: no one escapes death.

Valiant Responds to Accusations of Transphobia in Bloodshot

In response to accusations of transphobia, Alien Books, the publisher for Valiant Comics, alongside writer Mauro Mantella, has issued a sincere apology for any harm caused by dialogue in Bloodshot #1. The controversy stemmed from a specific panel where a line of dialogue, set within a fictional world of vampires and cults, was interpreted as an allusion to real-world discrimination against transgender people. This interpretation sparked significant backlash on social media platforms like Reddit, with prominent comic creators such as former Bloodshot writer Deniz Camp and creator Zoe Tunnell publicly condemning the panel. Camp asserted that Bloodshot would be a firm ally of the trans community, while Tunnell expressed her disgust and refused to work with the publisher while those responsible were still employed.

That transphobic bullshit in the pages of the new Bloodshot cannot be tolerated.

— Zac Thompson (@zacthompson.bsky.social) August 15, 2025 at 11:53 AM

I pride myself on my professionalism in comics. I don't talk shit about books I don't enjoy. I am happy when folks get gigs even if I wish I landed them. So when I say the transphobic bullshit in the new BLOODSHOT #1 comic is disgusting and should have never made it to print. Shameful shit.

[image or embed]

— Zoe Tunnell @ FlameCon Saturday (@zoewithasword.bsky.social) August 15, 2025 at 12:05 PM

Bloodshot would hate transphobes and throw himself in front of a hail of bullets to protect a trans kid without hesitation. Just FYI.

— Deniz Camp (@DenizCamp) August 15, 2025

The publisher clarified that this was never their intention, attributing the issue to a nuance lost in translation, as the original line was written by an Argentinian creator. Acknowledging that their intent did not negate the harmful impact, Valiant has committed to updating the dialogue in all digital and future collected editions of the comic. Moving forward, they have pledged to implement a more intensive review process for all scripts, involving closer scrutiny by proofreaders to ensure clearer and more responsible storytelling. The publisher also expressed gratitude for the community's feedback, reaffirming their commitment to empathy and inclusion in their work.

Valiant Comics, via its publisher Alien Books, has issued the following statement, saying it is all something that got lost in translation:

"Alien Books and writer Mauro Mantella sincerely apologize for the harm caused by the phrasing in Bloodshot #1. While the story takes place in a fictional world of vampires and cults, we understand that a specific line of dialogue has been read as alluding to real-world issues, specifically, the discrimination faced by trans people. That was never the intention. The original line was written by an Argentinian creator and was unfortunately a case of nuance being lost in translation. We fully recognize that intent does not erase impact, especially when dealing with subject matter that affects real lives and communities. We are taking the following steps immediately:

• The dialogue in question will be updated for all digital and collected editions to better reflect the intended fictional context.

• Going forward, all scripts will undergo a more intense review by our proof readers as part of our editorial process to ensure clearer, more responsible storytelling.

• We appreciate the feedback from readers, creators, and industry peers who brought this to our attention. We take this seriously and are committed to learning from it.

• Alien Books values inclusion, empathy, and creative responsibility. We will do better."

Vampires in fiction are usually used as analogies to modern-day concerns, and it's quite natural to look for parallels in vampire fiction. In this case, Valiant is saying it is about cults. Complete and utter ones.

Infernal Hulk: The Hulk You Always Feared Is Here

Get ready, Marvel fans, because the Incredible Hulk is about to get a whole lot more... well, infernal. Writers Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Nic Klein—the creative minds behind the recent horror-fueled Incredible Hulk run—are back this November with Infernal Hulk #1, and it’s introducing the most terrifying version of the character ever.

​This isn't just another super-powered rampage. The series is a direct result of the events in Incredible Hulk #30, where Hulk faced off against the cosmic-level horror known as the Eldest. Now, the Eldest has taken control of Hulk’s body, tearing him and Bruce Banner apart to usher in a new "Age of Monsters" for the entire Marvel Universe.

​A New Age of Monsters

​The new Infernal Hulk is more than just strong; it's a diabolical, ancient force bent on transforming the heroes you know and love into monstrous beasts. The Eldest's plan is to plunge the world back into a nightmarish, primeval state.

​But don't count Bruce Banner out just yet. Though powerless, he's determined to stop this new, unstoppable Hulk from the inside. It's a fight for the soul of the Marvel Universe, and it's unlike anything we've seen before.

​What the Creators Have to Say

​According to Phillip Kennedy Johnson, this new series is a "terrifying new normal" for the Hulk and the entire Marvel Universe. He promises fans will get all the answers they've been waiting for regarding the Eldest and the Mother of Horrors. Johnson teases that there are even more powerful monsters coming, with origins that predate humanity. "No corner of the Marvel Universe will be left untouched before the end," he says.

​Artist Nic Klein shares that working with Johnson has been a dream, calling Infernal Hulk the natural destination for their journey with the character. He’s pouring everything he has into the book and is excited for fans to see it.

​Infernal Hulk #1 is written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and features art and a cover by Nic Klein. It's scheduled to hit comic shops on November 26. Make sure to check out the chilling cover and preorder your copy today!

Deadpool/Batman Crossover from DC Comics Reveals Bonus Stories

Coming out on November 19, 2025, the 64-page crossover comic Batman/Deadpool #1 unites Batman and Deadpool in a cosmic, metafictional adventure.

The main story, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dan Mora, blends the Dark Knight's brooding nature with the Merc with a Mouth's fourth-wall-breaking chaos. Described as "200% more Grant Morrison-esque than ever before," this one-shot sends the characters on a journey across different realities, from Apokolips to Earth-TRN666, with the very fabric of reality at risk.

The comic also includes four bonus team-up stories from other top creators:

• Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, and Hayden Sherman pair Constantine with Doctor Strange.

• Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo bring Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Wolverine (Laura Kinney) together.

• Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner feature a comedic fight between Harley Quinn and Hulk.

• G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan team up Static and Ms. Marvel.

This issue follows Marvel’s own Deadpool/Batman #1, which is set to be released on September 17.

To make this event even bigger, Batman/Deadpool #1 will have an extensive lineup of variant covers from some of the biggest names in comics, with homages to classic covers like Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 and The Incredible Hulk #340, and other pairings like Wonder Woman and Scarlet Witch, and Lobo and Deadpool.

DC Comics Announces 'Batman/Static: Beyond' 6-Part Elseworlds Series

The rumors are true! DC Comics has officially announced a new six-part Elseworlds miniseries titled Batman/Static: Beyond. This highly anticipated comic brings together the fan-favorite heroes Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond) and Virgil Hawkins (Static Shock) in a new, standalone adventure.

What to Expect:

• A New Elseworlds Tale: Set outside of current DC continuity, the story finds Terry McGinnis defending Neo-Gotham while Virgil Hawkins is a technological pioneer. A mysterious global blackout forces these two iconic heroes to join forces.

• The Creative Team: The series is helmed by writer Evan Narcisse (Rise of the Black Panther) and artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey, who previously worked together on the celebrated Static: Shadows of Dakota series.

• Release Date: The first issue, Batman/Static: Beyond #1, is scheduled to hit comic book stores and digital platforms on November 12, 2025.

“This story is intended to be a commentary on our overreliance on technology and the imminent dangers becoming complacent and too comfortable using AI to substitute our own imagination and human ingenuity,” continued Nikolas Draper-Ivey. “We now use our watches to find our phones, we use our phones to connect to everything else. We don’t rely on our own memories. We rely on technology to remember for us. That deeply concerns me. I worry that we are getting to a point where if all these things were to be suddenly taken away from us in an instant—at the rate we’re going now, humanity will be at a huge disadvantage.”

This project marks a significant new chapter for both characters, offering fans a fresh take on their dynamic and an exciting exploration of their shared future.

BREAKING: DC's "Power Company" is BACK!

This April marks the return of Josiah Power and a new iteration of The Power Company to DC All In with The Power Company: Recharged, and DC is revealing a first look at interior art from issue #1 by Khary Randolph and Alitha Martinez. This DC All In one-shot not only features the return of writer Hill to DC and the return of Josiah Power but brings together a collection of DC Super Heroes – Batman (Jace Fox), Vixen, and Duke Thomas, aka The Signal – to join Black Lightning in fighting anti-metahuman sentiment at the street level (thanks to Amanda Waller and Absolute Power).

Spinning out of the events of Black Lightning and DC Power: Rise of the Power Company, Josiah Power and Jefferson Pierce lead the newest iteration of the Power Company with a new purpose of rebuilding humanity’s faith in heroes and fighting back against the rising anti-metahuman movement that Amanda Waller instigated in DC’s Absolute Power.

Bryan Edward Hill makes his return to DC comics. He recently revitalized Blade for Marvel and is doing a stellar job on Ultimate Black Panther. He brings his talent back to DC to raise the bar for these great heroes. Bryan did a fantastic job with Batman and the Outsiders and now he's back to tackle more characters on the edge of greatness. DC has been ALL IN on many of its heroes in this current era and we cannot wait to see how he elevates these heroes to a new level of prominence and recognition.

For their first mission the Company dispatches Batman (Jace Fox), The Signal, and Vixen to investigate a serial killer that’s been hunting metahumans in the streets of Atlanta.

BREAKING: DC Comics Announces New Superman ANTHOLOGY Series

Superman: The World: a Celebrated Lineup of International Storytellers Pay Tribute to DC’s Man of Steel in a Commemorative Hardcover Collection

Burbank, CA, (March 31, 2025) – Since his origin in 1938, Superman has become a symbol of truth and justice, and a true worldwide pop culture icon. Today DC announced talent and story details on Superman: The World, a 208-page hardcover collecting original stories celebrating Superman from a variety of international and cultural perspectives. Superman: The World arrives in participating comic book shops, booksellers, and mass market retailers and e-tailers Wednesday, June 25, and launches day and date in the following countries: Argentina (Ovni Press); Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia (Carobna); Brazil (Panini); Cameroon (Zebra Comics); the Czech and Slovak Republics (Crew); France (Urban Comics); Germany (Panini); India (DC/Penguin Random House); Italy (Panini); Japan (Kodansha); Mexico (Panini); Poland (Story House Egmont); Spain (Panini); and Turkey (JBC).

“Let Slip the Dogs of War,” by Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks (North America)

When a giant alien of unknown origin attacks Metropolis, the immediate response is a massive military strike that would eradicate the threat as well as the city itself. Dan Jurgens (Action Comics, Superman) and Lee Weeks (Superman: Lois and Clark, Batman/Catwoman) deliver a story in which Superman is challenged by an extraterrestrial threat and his own government’s worst instincts. It’s a singularly unique challenge for the Man of Steel, who finds himself trapped between two tough choices with little time to find a solution.

“The Last Seed of Krypton,” by Mauro Mantella and Agustín Alessio (Argentina)

Writer Mantella and artist Alessio book a trip for the Man of Steel to Argentina, where, in search of a story as Clark Kent and a potential threat as Superman, he encounters an ancient menace with ties to his past—one that threatens the entire planet and forces him to reconsider his very essence and biology.

“The Red Mantle,” by Jefferson Costa (Brazil)

In this story by writer/artist Costa, Clark Kent is in Brazil conducting a series of interviews following the opening of an exhibition at the national museum marking the return and restitution of the Tupinambá red cape, repatriated to Brazilian territory after 400 years. Clark is intrigued and enthusiastic about the history of the artifact, which holds such strong and significant symbolism, representing the cultural revival of a people, memory, and ancestry—a symbolism very similar to his own red cape. When the Tupinambá cloak disappears from the museum, Superman goes into action, determined to recover it.

“Chariot of the Gods,” by Dr. Ejob Gaius, E.N. Ejob, and Coeurtys Minko (Cameroon)

Following their groundbreaking story in Joker: The World, the Zebra Comics team of writer Gaius and artists Ejob  and Minko tell their own unique story spotlighting the Man of Steel. Superman faces an unusual culture shock as his noble intentions lead to unforeseen consequences. Through this eye-opening journey, he discovers the profound importance of understanding and respecting cultural differences, adding to what it truly means to be a hero for the world.

“If Nihilism Is the Answer, What Was the Question?,” by Štěpán Kopřiva and Michal Suchánek  (Czech and Slovak Republics)

Superman has always been a symbol of hope, but what happens when he encounters a community that doesn’t believe in hope? The Czech storytelling team of writer Kopřiva and artist Suchánek put this question to the Man of Steel when, in the distant future, he encounters “Prague,” a Czech space station with a single occupant, one who believes in absolutely nothing—order, values, hope—nor in the meaning of it all.

“Superman in Paris,” by Sylvain Runberg, Marcial Toledano Vargas, and José Manuel Robledo (France)

This short story by writer Runberg (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo/Millenium, Warship Jolly Roger, Under York) and artists Toledano Vargas (Ken Games, Dominants) and Robledo (Tebori) tells the tale of how Lois Lane and Clark Kent hope to escape their daily adventures for a brief getaway to Paris, the City of Lights. But there’s something lurking in the depths of the Seine River that may interrupt their romantic interlude.

“Man of Kruppstahl,” by Flix (Felix Görmann) (Germany)

In his unique style, award-winning writer/artist Flix (Spirou, The Humboldt Animal) tells a nostalgic and charming story from Superman’s past in which the Man of Steel thwarts the machinations of a villain in postwar Germany.

“To Be a Hero,” by Rana Daggubati and Sid Kotian (India)

In this story by Daggubati and Kotian, Clark Kent is covering a story in India and meets a woman studying history. They’re approached by a young boy, looking for help. It’s up to Superman to keep bandits from pillaging his local temple of its statues and artifacts.

“Superman’s Inferno,” by Fabio Celoni and Marco Nucci (Italy)

Acclaimed Italian comics creators Nucci and Celoni celebrate the incredible narrative of the Last Son of Krypton in this short story. In 2021, Clark Kent and Lois Lane are in the home city of the Sommo Poeta (the Supreme Poet), Dante Alighieri, on the 700th anniversary of his death. Suddenly, the earth splits open, with Lois and some bystanders swallowed up in a chasm that seems to lead directly to Hell. Superman’s only hope against the armies of Lucifer is tied to a formula seen in Dante’s visions that has been lost forever!

 “Superman vs. Convenience-Store Dining Space,” by Satoshi Miyagawa and Kai Kitago (Japan)

DC and Kodansha will include an excerpt from the popular DC manga Superman vs. Meshi, by Miyagawa and Kitago, readable in Western style (left to right).

“Superman: The Left of the Hummingbird,” by Bef (Bernardo Fernández) (Mexico)

When Clark Kent visits Mexico for a simple news story, Superman ends up in a battle against the Aztec gods in this story by writer/artist Bef.

“Marzanna,” by Bartosz Sztybor and Marek Oleksicki (Poland)

Writer Sztybor and artist Oleksicki bring the Man of Steel to Warsaw, where an investigative assignment takes an unexpected turn. As Clark Kent delves into the local tradition of drowning the Marzanna effigy, he uncovers a chilling mystery tied to ancient legends and a looming threat over the city. In a race against time, Superman must confront forces beyond imagination to protect the people of Warsaw and prove that hope is the greatest power of all.

“My Choice, Protecting the Light,” by Stevan Subic (Serbia)

Storyteller Subic (The Riddler: Year One, Batman: Full Moon) both writes and draws this Superman story. After a big cosmic fight, recovering under the sun, Superman hears a faint cry for help coming from a town in Serbia, the only place on Earth that has Kryptonite, whose guardians are keeping the stash secure from anyone who might want to get their hands on it. A not-fully-healed Superman faces the challenge of helping the people protecting him from the substance most deadly to him while a deadly cosmic adversary pulls out all the stops to claim the hoard of Kryptonite.

“Superman in Granada,” by Jorge Jiménez and Alejandro Sánchez (Spain)

This short story, written and illustrated by Jorge Jiménez (Batman, Superman, Justice League, Super Sons) with colors by Alejandro Sánchez (Superman, Super Sons, Justice League), tells of how, after once again saving Earth from the imminent impact of a meteorite, Superman falls powerlessly into the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Aware that his powers could return at any moment, he chooses to wander through the city in his costume like any other human and discover the beauty and culture Granada has to offer.

“The Hero and the Bull,” by Ethem Onur Bilgiç (Turkey)

Writer/illustrator/graphic designer Ethem Onur Bilgiç takes Clark Kent and Lois Lane to Istanbul to cover an archaeological symposium. They meet a scientist who introduces them to the rituals associated with celebrating the pagan deity Mithras, leading Clark and Lois to an unexpected encounter.

What a huge amount of international talent!

BREAKING: ‘New History of the DC Universe’ by Mark Waid Announced At DC Comics!

(Main Cover, New History of the DC Universe Book One. Art by Chris Samnee.)

DC, home of the World’s Greatest Super Heroes, today announced plans to publish New History of the DC Universe, a four-issue limited series arriving at participating comic book shops and digital retailers Wednesday, June 25.

DC superfan and writer Mark Waid (Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, Justice League Unlimited, Batman & Robin: Year One) teams up with some of DC’s greatest artists for this fresh look at the past and present of the DC Universe, seen through the eyes of Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash.

 “This is my dream project,” said series writer Waid. “It’s a chance to realign all of DC's sprawling continuity into one master timeline, and to be joined by some of comics’ greatest artists to make it shine. With new information for even longtime fans, plus Easter eggs galore, this series will be an essential read for DC fans.”

 The debut issue features art by Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck, who join Waid in chronicling Barry Allen’s journey from the birth of the DC Universe to the rise of the Justice Society and the Golden Age of Heroes.

 “I’m having an absolute blast with this project,” said co-artist Nauck. “Mark has come up with something cool for me to draw on every page, and it’s been an honor to share art chores with a comics legend like Jerry Ordway. The DC editorial team has coordinated a wealth of deep-dive references for me to draw from, and I’m learning new aspects of DC history I hadn’t known before—and I’ve been reading DC comics for decades!”

 “As one of the artists who was part of Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 1980’s, added co-artist Jerry Ordway, I am thrilled to be involved in telling the story of this newest DC Universe with Mark and Todd."

Not only will this must-read series celebrating 90 years of DC feature an all-star lineup of interior artists, but a fan-favorite roster of cover artists will also lend their creative talents. The debut issue features a main cover from Batman & Robin: Year One artist Chris Samnee, as well as variant covers by Dan Mora (Justice League Unlimited, Superman), Ryan Sook (Black Canary: Best of the Best), and Mike Cho. Sook also provides a breathtaking wraparound foil variant, with an additional foil variant from acclaimed cover artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau.

PREVIEW: DC's Absolute Green Lantern Is Set To CHANGE THE GAME !

Without the Corps…without the ring…without the willpower, what’s left is the Absolute Green Lantern!

The Absolute Universe has been burning bright, and now it's expanding even further. Acclaimed writer Al Ewing (Metamorpho: The Element Man, Immortal Hulk, Immortal Thor) joins forces with artist Jahnoy Lindsay (DC Power, Superboy: The Man of Tomorrow) to deliver Absolute Green Lantern, a bold new take on Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Jo Mullein, and more. The series launches in comic book stores on Wednesday, April 2.

With Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, and Absolute Wonder Woman already cemented as essential reads, Absolute Green Lantern is poised to be another standout. Ewing has a proven track record of breathing new life into characters and mythologies, as seen in his transformative work on Hulk, Thor, and Venom. At MegaCon 2025, Scott Snyder shared insights into the series, teasing a fresh approach to the Emerald Space Force—one that deviates from the ever-present cosmic authority of the standard DC Universe.

PREVIEW: DC's Peacemaker Presents The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature!

Peacemaker fans rejoice! A comic based on and set in the Universe of DC’s Peacemaker on MAX is headed our way! What kind of hijinks will our favorite morally grey characters get in this whole new medium? Well CBC has the scoop!

DC Exclusive Preview

Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature

Today, DC unveiled artwork and covers for Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature! This five-issue DC Black Label limited series is inspired by DC Studios’ James Gunn’s visionary Peacemaker series on Max and features two original stories: one spotlighting Peacemaker and his avian sidekick Eagly, and one his crime-fighting friend Adrian Chase, a.k.a. Vigilante. Gunn also serves as story consultant for the series, which debuts at participating comic book shops and digital retailers March 26.

In “Peaceful Vacation,” writer Rex Ogle and artists Matteo Lolli and John Kalisz take Eagly and Chris Smith (a.k.a. Peacemaker) to the great outdoors of Alaska for some well-deserved rest and relaxation from doling out peace in their own over-the-top style. But when their trip is interrupted by a group of masked hijackers (and an annoying flight attendant), it’s up to a certain eagle and his pet human to save the day.

Unfortunately, Peacemaker forgets to tell his pal Vigilante about his vacation plans, and now Vigilante thinks Peacemaker and Eagly have been kidnapped by the Controller, which means big trouble for the criminals of Evergreen, with knives, axes, and gore galore! “A Time for Fables” is written by Tim Seeley and features art by Mitch Gerads. Each issue of the series will include diary entries from Vigilante on “How to Be A Super-Hero,” written by Freddie Stroma, who portrays the character in the Max series.

Gwen Stacy’s SHOCKING Return: The New Killer Gwenpool Shakes Up Marvel!

GWEN STACY RETURNS… AS A KILLER?!

Her death shattered Spider-Man’s world and became one of the most heartbreaking moments in comic book history. But now, she’s back—and in the most shocking way imaginable!

Teased last week, Marvel is bringing Gwen Stacy back from the dead, but not as the girl you remember. This May, New York Times bestselling writer Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic) and rising star artist Stefano Nesi are unleashing a brand-new Gwenpool series—and this time, Gwen’s got blood on her hands!

That’s right—Gwen Stacy has returned, but she’s darker, deadlier, and completely off the rails as the new Gwenpool! But she’s not the only Gwen in town. The original Gwenpool, Marvel’s fourth-wall-breaking superfan, isn’t about to let someone else hijack her identity. With Spider-Man caught in the middle, these two Gwens are on a collision course that’s bound to turn the Marvel Universe upside down—because as Gwen Poole knows all too well, there’s only room for one Gwenpool!

A DEADLY NEW GWENPOOL WREAKS HAVOC!

A brutal new vigilante is cutting a bloody path through New York City, dealing out justice with extreme prejudice. But who is this rogue Gwenpool? And what does she want with Spider-Man? With guest appearances from Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark, this series is set to shake things up in a big way!

Writer Cavan Scott is beyond excited about bringing Gwen back into the mix:

"What an absolute honor! Getting to shake up both Gwenpool and Spider-Man’s status quo? Sign me up! This isn’t the Gwen you remember—she’s got Weapon X-style abilities, a killer wit, and a mean streak to match. But the big question is: Who brought her back? And what happens when the original Gwenpool realizes her world is being rewritten? Throw in Kate Bishop and Jeff the Land Shark, and you’ve got the kind of chaotic, over-the-top Marvel series I’ve always dreamed of writing!"

For artist Stefano Nesi, this marks his big Marvel Comics debut after turning heads with his work on Batman.

"I couldn’t ask for a better partner than Stefano Nesi!" Scott added. "His gritty, kinetic art—brought to life by Matt Milla’s electrifying colors—makes every fight scene explode off the page. Monsters, mayhem, and murder—it’s all here, and trust me, no one is safe!"

STUNNING COVERS TEASE THE MAYHEM AHEAD!

Marvel’s pulled out all the stops with jaw-dropping cover art from Chad Hardin and Greg Land, giving us a first look at this dangerous new Gwenpool. Meanwhile, Jeehyung Lee delivers a striking take on the classic Gwen Poole, and Paco Medina’s haunting variant—featuring Gwen’s own grave—hints at the dark twists ahead.

The battle of the Gwens kicks off this May—don’t miss it!

BREAKING: Mr. Terrific: Year One Limited Series Announced at DC!

DC Reinvigorates the Origin of One of Its Smartest and Most Resourceful Super Heroes in a New DC All In Limited Series!

This May, the origin of Mr. Terrific is dramatically revisited and expanded in a new DC All In series, Mr. Terrific: Year One!

This six-issue limited series marks the return of Peabody Award-winning journalist, TV writer, and host of the investigative-reporting show Reveal Al Letson to DC, following his 2017 debut in the DC New Talent Showcase. Letson is joined on the series by award-winning artist Valentine De Landro (Black Manta, DC Power: A Celebration, Infinite Frontier, Bitch Planet), colorist Marissa Louise, and letterer Lucas Gattoni. The series will also feature art by Edwin Galmon (Cyborg), who will provide present-day sequences integral to the story.

A genius-level inventor and Olympic champion, Michael Holt’s life was destined for greatness. But that life came to a screeching halt when his wife, Paula, and unborn son were killed in a car accident. The Holts once shared ambitious dreams of using their technology to help others, but after the tragedy, Michael retreats from society, selling Holt Industries to mysterious and craven tech billionaire Athena Prescott. Surrendering his dream sets off an explosive chain of events, taking the exceptionally intelligent Holt from the depths of despair to the heights of heroism as Mr. Terrific.

 “Valentine and I are diving deep and telling the origin story of who Mr. Terrific is as a man, and as a super hero,” said Letson. “I’ve loved Valentine’s work for years, and working on this series has been a dream. I can’t wait for fans to see what we’re cooking up.” 

 “Working with Al, Marissa, Edwin, and Lucas, as well as the DC editorial team, has been an absolute blast,” added artist Valentine De Landro. “I’m excited to contribute to Mr. Terrific’s story, a character I’ve enjoyed reading throughout the years.”

MEGACON 2025: Recap of the Art Adams and John Boy Meyers Sketch Duel

One of the most exciting events we attended at the convention was the Sketch Duel between legendary artist Arthur Adams and rising star John Boy Meyers. This unique format brought two talented comic book artists together in a head-to-head drawing challenge, where they created sketches based on audience suggestions within timed rounds. Hosted by Aris Quinones of Variant Comics, the event was filled with engaging conversation, humor, and stunning artwork.

Arthur Adams, a veteran artist known for his work on X-Men, Conan, and Fantastic Four, faced off against John Boy Meyers, an up-and-coming artist recognized for his contributions to Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, and Spawn. The competition consisted of two 15-minute sketching rounds. In the first round, Adams was tasked with drawing a bizarre combination—a Jack Kirby-inspired figure with Spawn’s body and a Hitler mustache—while Meyers sketched Venom. Both delivered impressive and wildly creative pieces that showcased their distinct artistic styles.

During the second round, the artists were given free rein to draw whatever they wanted. While sketching, they answered questions from Quinones about their artistic influences, experiences in the industry, and challenges like creative burnout. Meyers credited Todd McFarlane for mentoring him during his time on Spawn, while Adams shared insights about maintaining longevity in the comic book industry. The mutual admiration between the two artists was evident, as they praised each other’s work and expressed enthusiasm for potential collaborations.

By the end of the round, Meyers had created another incredible Spawn sketch, while Adams surprised everyone with a beautifully detailed Popeye drawing—an unexpected but stunning piece that captivated the audience. Adding to the excitement, the event concluded with a raffle, allowing four lucky fans to take home original artwork from the duel.

The Sketch Duel was a beautiful showcase of artistic talent, camaraderie, and fan engagement. It highlighted not only the impressive skills of Adams and Meyers but also the sense of community that makes comic book conventions so special.

MEGACON 2025: DC's Absolute Universe Panel Recap

We attended the DC’s Absolute Universe panel at MegaCon Orlando 2025, where Scott Snyder led a discussion about the ambitious new line of comics that reimagines classic DC heroes. With strong backing from Jim Lee and DC leadership, Snyder has been instrumental in shaping this bold new universe. The Absolute Batman series has been a massive success, with its first issue selling over half a million copies and subsequent issues continuing to perform exceptionally well. Snyder enthusiastically detailed the future of the Absolute line, including upcoming issues of Absolute Batman, Absolute Superman, and Absolute Wonder Woman.

One of the most exciting announcements involved Absolute Wonder Woman, written by Kelly Thompson with art by Hayden Sherman. This version of Diana is raised by Cersei in hell and wields a magical bag containing an arsenal of weapons. The premise is wildly different yet remains true to Wonder Woman’s core identity. Another major development was Jason Aaron’s involvement in Absolute Superman, initially as a consultant but eventually as the series’ writer. His storytelling approach contrasts sharply with Snyder’s fast-paced style, opting for a slower build-up that promises explosive payoffs in later issues.

The panel also revealed details about the next wave of Absolute titles: Absolute Martian Manhunter, Absolute Green Lantern, and Absolute Flash. Absolute Martian Manhunter, written by Dennis Camp with art by Javier Rodríguez, reimagines J’onn J’onzz as a human FBI agent who merges with a Martian consciousness in a symbiotic relationship reminiscent of Venom. Absolute Green Lantern, penned by Al Ewing with art by rising talent Jahnoy Lindsay, introduces a lone female Green Lantern struggling against a universe where villains hold the upper hand. Meanwhile, Absolute Flash, written by Jeff Lemire with art by Nick Robles, reinvents Wally West without the Speed Force, offering a radically different take on the character.

Another major point of discussion was how these characters would interact within the Absolute Universe. Unlike the traditional DC continuity, where heroes inevitably cross paths, the Absolute line may handle their meetings in unpredictable ways. With a roster of Eisner-winning creators and a fresh perspective on DC’s legendary characters, the Absolute Universe is shaping up to be one of the most exciting developments in modern comics. Fans can look forward to a year of groundbreaking storytelling and stunning artwork as this universe continues to unfold.
