Lady Baltimore returns next year with ‘The Daughters of Medusa’

Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Bridgit Connell return to the world of ‘Baltimore’ with a two-issue series.

Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Bridgit Connell have more Lady Baltimore tales to tell. They’ll return to the character next year with Lady Baltimore: The Daughters of Medusa, along with colorist Michelle Madsen and letterer Clem Robins.

Dark Horse Comics will publish the two-part series beginning next April.

“We’re thrilled to jump back into the Outerverse with this new Lady Baltimore adventure,” Golden said. “This world continues to evolve and surprise us all as we create it, and what a gift it is to have Bridgit Connell bringing these stories to life. It’s a lot to ask of an artist to give us pages that are both beautiful and horrifying, sometimes in the same panel, and Bridgit nails it every time. I can’t wait till readers get their hands on this story!”

Valiant Beyond: Alien Books will relaunch the Valiant universe in the wake of ‘Resurgence of the Valiant Universe’

New versions of Bloodshot, Shadowman and more will begin appearing in March.

For Alien Books, the “resurgence” of the Valiant properties is only the beginning.

The current Resurgence of the Valiant Universe event series, which ends in January, will pave the way for a rebooted Valiant universe, which they are calling “Valiant Beyond.” Alien Books plans for the new line to be
“new-reader friendly and ultra-accessible,” while featuring new versions of Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, Shadowman and more.

“As we enter into the second year of our partnership with Valiant Comics and come out of the Resurgence crossover event, we wanted to take a big swing and try something new,” said Alien Books Director Matias Timarchi. “The success of the Absolute, Ultimate and Energon universes has shown that there is an appetite from both retailers and readers for accessible and high-quality storytelling. Our goal is to take inspiration from those lines while doing something that is distinctly our own.”

Professor X goes on the run in ‘X-Manhunt’

The crossover event will take place in March’s X-Men titles.

Marvel has announced X-Manhunt, a crossover that will run through most of the X-Men related titles in March.

The story will revolve around Professor X’s escape from Graymalkin Prison, where he’s been since the “From the Ashes” line-wide reboot earlier this year. His escape and subsequent plea for help will cause strife amongst the many different groups of mutants, and the story will play out in issues of Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, NYX and more, before wrapping up in X-Manhunt Omega #1 at the end of March.

“We’ve mostly been keeping the various groups of X-characters separated from one another as we set up the post-Krakoa landscape,” Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said. “But it feels like now is the right time to send them crashing into one another. And who better to instigate this situation than the disgraced Professor X, who has intimate connections with almost all of our key players?” 

Check out the covers and issue descriptions below for the eight-part crossover, which also reveal the return of at least two mutants to the X-titles — Mister Sinister and Maggott.
