Matt Kindt + David Lapham team for ‘Knight City’

The psychological superhero thriller will debut from Dark Horse in February.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Knight City, a three-issue series that will debut in February. The project reunites Matt Kindt and David Lapham, who worked together on The Hero Trade from Bad Idea.

Kindt will write and color the book, with illustrations by Lapham and letters Joshua Reed.

The comic is about a superhero who lives two lives: While awake, he’s tasked with protecting the entire world. But while sleeping, he shifts to a mundane world where he has no super powers. Kindt has explored similar ideas in Revolver and Subgenre, where the main characters also had two different lives and worlds they traveled to when they slept.

‘Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon’ will lead into Marvel’s 2026 summer event

Chip Zdarsky and Luca Maresca send Wolverine on a mission that will “kick off the end of everything.”

Armageddon, Marvel’s big event helmed by Chip Zdarsky that’s coming next summer, will actually kick off in February with a prelude series — Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon.

Zdarsky will write the four-issue miniseries, which will feature artwork by Luca Maresca. The series will send Wolverine “on a pivotal mission to track down the latest victim of a new superhuman experimentation program,” something akin to the Weapon X program.

“The Road to Armageddon starts with super soldiers, starts with the Weapon X program. And Wolverine is going to kick off the end of everything,” Zdarsky said. “For readers of Captain America, this is essential! For readers who want to know where the Marvel Universe is going, same. I’m pretty thrilled to get to tell this massive story, starting in Cap and really kicking it off here in Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon!”

The Mignola brothers team with Warwick Johnson-Cadwell on ‘The Crown: A Tale of Hell’

The two-issue Hellboy miniseries will return to hell for some family drama.

Mike Mignola is teaming up with his brother, Todd, for a new Hellboy miniseries. The Crown: A Tale of Hell is a two-issue miniseries that’ll be written by the two brothers, with artwork by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell.

Appropriately, it’s about Hellboy’s brothers.

“Todd came to me with the idea of writing something about Hellboy’s brothers,” Mike Mignola said. “It never would have occurred to me to do more with those guys but it didn’t take much prodding. Brothers writing about brothers in a somewhat complicated family dynamic—once we got going it was almost too easy. And fun. And SO MUCH fun that I could only imagine it drawn by Warwick.”

Digital comics site Neon Ichiban officially launches

Digital comics from Marvel, DC, Oni, IDW and more are now available to buy and sell on the digital marketplace.

Former Comixology executives/DSTLRY founders David Steinberger and Chip Mosher have gotten back into the digital comics game. Today they officially launched Neon Ichiban, which has been in beta since September.

The site is a marketplace, similar to what they launched as a part of DSTLRY back in 2024, where users can buy and sell digital comics from publishers and from each other. They call it “fusing frictionless reading with creator connection, resale and collectible culture” in the press release. The idea is that you own the digital release like you would a physical copy — and are able to sell it and even get it signed by the creators, using their Remarques technology. It’s essentially what they were doing with their own DSTLRY titles, but now includes other publishers.

Currently the site offers books by Dark Horse, DC, Dynamite Entertainment, IDW Publishing, Kodansha, Marvel Comics, Oni Press, Titan Comics, Vault Comics and, of course, DSTLRY, with content from Legendary Comics, Mad Cave Studios, Rebellion and UDON Entertainment coming soon.

“The comics business needs a cutting-edge digital marketplace built by people who care about comics and know how to build a platform that fans want to use,” said Damian Wassel, CEO and publisher of Vault Comics. “It needs to be a one-stop shop offering all the fan-favorite publishers. It’s hard to imagine a better team than David and Chip to get that done. After all, they already did it once. Everyone at Vault is excited to be a part of the launch of Neon Ichiban.”

Marvel announces its new ‘Sorcerer Supreme’

Steve Orlando and Bernard Chang will plot a new course for the Scarlet Witch in December.

With the One World Under Doom crossover series set to wrap up in November, Marvel has been teasing a new character will step into the role as sorcerer supreme — someone besides Doom or the traditional bearer of the title, Doctor Strange.

This week Marvel revealed who would take on the job when the Sorcerer Supreme title launches in December, and it is none other than the mystical Avenger, the Scarlet Witch. The tale of how she gets her new gig will be told by longtime Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando, joined by artist Bernard Chang.

“When it comes to the Scarlet Witch…anything’s possible,” Orlando said. “Those are the words 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!”

Benjamin Percy + José Luis Soares launch a new ‘Punisher’ ongoing

Frank Castle’s new series lands in February.

Following the current Punisher: Red Band miniseries, that book’s writer Benjamin Percy will team with artist José Luis Soares on a new Punisher ongoing series.

The new series will continue the story set up in the Red Band miniseries, although it isn’t completely clear if it’ll come polybagged and contain all the blood ‘n’ guts that the miniseries did. But you can expect to see Jigsaw show up.

“Punisher: Red Band was a new beginning for Frank Castle—and an unrelenting assault,” Percy said. “The book was polybagged, because it was a biohazard, dripping with blood. Now that you know we aren’t fooling around, we’re entering a new phase of storytelling that will serve both as a continuation of Red Band and a fresh start for new readers.”
