‘Black’s Myth’ returns with a new miniseries this summer

Eric Palicki and Wendell Cavalcanti head back into L.A.’s seedy supernatural underground in ‘Black’s Myth: The Key to his Heart.’

Black’s Myth, the story of a werewolf PI named Strummer who lives in Los Angeles and tries unsuccessfully to avoid the supernatural world, will return with a new miniseries from Ahoy Comics this summer.

The first miniseries by writer Eric Palicki and artist Wendell Cavalcanti came out in 2022, introducing the world to Janie Jones “Strummer” Mercado and her djinn assistant Ben Si’lat. The new story, titled Black’s Myth: The Key to his Heart, will involve Strummer trying to save a young girl from becoming a monster, as well as reveal a more sympathetic side to the character whose name appears in the title.

“I’ve made a terrible mistake, and I don’t just mean pursuing a career in comics!” Palicki said. “How can we continue calling our book Black’s Myth unless Strummer once again finds herself in the orbit of her enigmatic client-turned-nemesis Rainsford Black? Hopefully, Volume Two reveals Mister Black to be a little less mysterious and perhaps a tad more sympathetic, as Wendell and I build on the unanswered questions of the first volume while also delivering a new mystery for Strums and Ben to unravel.”

We’re all mad here: Panosian + Spalleta return to Wonderland with ‘Alice Never After’

The follow-up to ‘Alice Ever After’ kicks off in July.

Dan Panosian and Giorgio Spalleta will once again head through the looking glass to Wonderland in Alice Never After, a follow-up to their 2022 miniseries Alice Ever After.

That series featured an Alice who, as an adult, struggled with her addiction to Wonderland and kept trying to find a way back. Well, be careful what you wish for.

“Following Alice down the rabbit hole is one thing, but getting out is harder than it looks!  Ask Alice – she’s stuck there – PERMANENTLY! Join Giorgio, Francesco and I on a little trip to Wonderland… Bring some tea, we’ll provide the mushrooms and madness!” Panosian said.

Starfire, Donna Troy, Raven + Beast Boy get solo tales in ‘Tales of the Titans’

The new miniseries will kick off in July.

With the Titans taking center stage at DC in the absence of a Justice League, DC has announced another new Titans project for July — Tales of the Titans, which mirrors the Tales of the New Teen Titans series by Marv Wolfman and George Perez back in the 1980s.

Each issue of the four-issue miniseries will feature a solo story starring one of the Titans who isn’t currently featured in their own title. Shannon Hale and Dean Hale will write the first issue, with Javier Rodríguez on art. Here’s the description of the issue, which “puts the spotlight on the alien princess and warrior Starfire”:

Scarlet Scarab will make her comic book debut in July

The character from the ‘Moon Knight’ show on Disney+ will appear in a Moon Knight miniseries.

Layla El-Faouly, the character played by May Calamawy in the Disney+ show Moon Knight, will make her comic book debut in Moon Knight #25, with her costumed identity, the Scarlet Scarab, soon to follow.

The character will be shown in flashbacks as a member of the Karnak Cowboys, a mercenary group that Marc Specter was a part of. The character will then make her superhero debut in Moon Knight: City of the Dead, a new miniseries by David Pepose and Marcelo Ferreira.

Jed MacKay, writer of Moon Knight, said that the character will debut in one of three stories that will appear in Moon Knight #25, an oversized issue featuring art by Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti and Partha Pratim. 

“Working on Moon Knight #25 was a bit of a mammoth task… 70 pages of story, cutting between three stories, each with their own artist,” Jed MacKay told IGN. “It was a really exciting opportunity to have that much space to work in, telling a Moon Knight story in a longer form than we’re usually used to.”
