John Allison + Max Sarin enter the ‘vindictive world of quilting’ in ‘The Great British Bump-Off’ sequel

‘Kill or Be Quilt’ begins next April.

John Allison and Max Sarin will team up again for a sequel to The Great British Bump-Off next year, shifting from competitive baking to quilting. The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt is a “cozy mystery” that’ll launch next April from Dark Horse Comics.

“I wouldn’t say that I went into the heart of darkness to research this story,” said Allison, “but I certainly went into several quilting shops.

Godzilla returns to the Marvel universe next year in a series of one-shots

‘Marvel vs. Godzilla’ sees the kaiju facing off with the Fantastic Four, Avengers and more for the first time in decades.

Following a series of reprints of the 1970s series and a line of variant covers, Marvel and Toho International have announced Godzilla vs. Marvel, a series of one-shots arriving next year.

Each issue will feature the king of monsters and other kaiju facing off with the Avengers, X-Men and, right out of the gate, the Fantastic Four. Godzilla vs. Fantastic Four #1 by current FF writer Ryan North and artist John Romita Jr. will pit the Fantastic Four against Galactus and his newest herald, King Ghidorah. Godzilla and the Silver Surfer will team up to try and save the world.

“We approached them initially for our reprints, but a while after those conversations, it was clear that both of our teams were excited to do more together,” Marvel Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski told The Hollywood Reporter. “These crossovers started coming together over that time, in direct collaboration with Toho, and we felt the perfect time for them was for Godzilla’s 70th anniversary next year. We’ve been thrilled to work with them on these, and we hope this will be a sign for more exciting projects to come.”
