Daniel Warren Johnson + Brody King tag-team to raise money for Minnesotans in need

Headlocked Comics have created a variant cover to raise funds for MIRAC: Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee.

Headlocked Comics, a comics publisher that specializes in creating comics about and with professional wrestlers, has announced a fundraiser to benefit MIRAC: Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee, a nonprofit that’s helping families impacted by the ICE Raids in Minnesota.

This is the second time Headlocked and former AEW tag-team champion Brody King — known for wearing “Abolish ICE” shirts at wrestling venues — have raised funds to support immigrant families. Last summer they sold a variant cover of a comic co-written by King and Headlocked’s Mike Kingston featuring King wearing the shirt to raise funds for those in Los Angeles affected by the raids.

This time around, Do A Powerbomb creator Daniel Warren Johnson created a variant cover that went up for sale on the Headlocked Comics website featuring King:

Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen + more enroll in ‘Spider-Versity’

Class is in session this April.

If you’ve been keeping up with Amazing Spider-Man, you know that while Peter Parker went off into space, Norman Osborn took over as the Spider-Man on Earth. Now he’d like to take all that knowledge he learned while under the mask — no, not his Spider-Man mask; his Green Goblin mask — and pass it on to the next generation of Spider-heroes.

Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity by Jordan Morris, Joe Kelly and Pere Perez will put Norman and Spider-Woman into the roles of teachers for Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Boy, Spider-Girl, Arana and Silk. And the lesson plan includes how to fight the Green Goblin.

“Spider-Versity spins directly out of the events of Amazing Spider-Man,” Kelly said. “Norman has a definitive threat in mind that he’s trying to protect the young Spiders against. One he knows intimately. But even for a master planner like Norman, things may perhaps go awry, and the kids will face some unexpected threats. Nothing like learning on the job!”

DC announces ‘Fury of Firestorm’ + ‘Zatanna’ for April

DC Next Level continues with two more series.

DC has announced two more titles that’ll debut in April as part of their DC Next Level publishing initiative, featuring two characters who have had their own ongoings in the past — Fury of Firestorm and Zatanna.

Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre will bring Ronnie Raymond and Professor Martin Stein — as well as their alter ego, Firestorm — back in what Lemire is calling “both a deconstruction of the character and a love letter to his past.”

“The Fury of Firestorm by Gerry Conway and Pat Broderick was one of my favorite comics when I was a kid in the 1980’s, so it’s a huge thrill to be relaunching the title, along with artist Rafael DeLatorre, and colorist Marcelo Maiolo, as part of DC Comics “Next Level” initiative,” Lemire said in his newsletter.

Jamal Campbell, who wrote and drew a Zatanna miniseries last year, returns to write and draw an ongoing Zatanna series. The new series will focus on Zatanna’s role as the “newest and first Prime Magus in millennia,” as she embarks on a world tour “to oversee and guide the world of magic.”

Zatanna and Firestorm follow the announcement of three news series that’ll launch in March featuring Lobo, Batwoman and Deathstroke. Other Next Level series the publisher has teased for 2026 include The Demon, Jonah Hex, the Teen Titans and more.
