Iron Man builds toward issue #700 by throwing Tony Stark into the slammer

The series will come out twice a month beginning with ‘The Incarcerated Iron Man’ storyline in December.

Iron Man will move to a twice-a-month schedule in December as writer Joshua Williamson begins building toward issue #700 of the title, which will come out in March of next year. Every other issue will have a different artist and a different story, with even numbers featuring “The Incarcerated Iron Man” and odd numbers showcasing a new team of armored warriors led by War Machine.

“The journey to our epic Iron Man #700 anniversary issue is so big that we had to split the book into two and double ship it,” continues Williamson. “Our amazing series artist Carmen Carnero will handle the even-numbered issues where Tony Stark is in prison. While the odd-numbered issues are taken over by the ‘War Machines.’ James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes puts together a new team of Armored Warriors to help take down Madame Masque, Adam Ware, and the new A.I.M. while Tony is locked up. For those issues we’re joined by my old partner in crime, Gleb Melnikov! I feel lucky to have two amazing artists on my team during this action-packed story!”

The Underworld Universe expands with new series ‘Victoria Jaguar’

Mark London and Marco Rudy’s ancient-myth horror series brings an immortal guardian into the growing shared universe this November.

Mad Cave Studios has slowly been growing the Underworld Universe they launched in 2024, featuring characters and concepts created by their publisher, mark London. This November adds another new character, Victoria Jaguar, who debuts in a new five-issue series from London, artist Marco Rudy and letterer Pat Brosseau.

Victoria Jaguar turns the universe’s focus toward ancient legends and immortal guardians.

Storm assembles a new team of X-Men to fill the void left by the Avengers in ‘Maximum X-Men’

Christopher Yost and Tony S. Daniel’s new ongoing series launches in December.

It’s not often you walk into an Avengers panel to learn about the X-Men, but that’s what happened at the San Diego Comic-Con today.

Marvel used its Avengers: Armageddon panel to reveal what’s next for its mutants: Maximum X-Men, an ongoing series from writer Christopher Yost and artist Tony S. Daniel. Yost worked on various X-Men titles back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, most notably on long runs on X-Force and New X-Men. Both creators made surprise appearances at the panel to discuss the series.

“I’ve worked on my fair share of X-Books over the years, but Maximum X-Men is everything I love about comics rolled into one—it’s underdog heroes saving the world from the biggest Avengers-level threats imaginable, it’s mind-breaking action and drama and everything people expect from X-Men, all with a classic Claremont vibe,” Yost said.

No saving throw: Dark Horse launches a new ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ ongoing series

Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly and Ibraim Roberson assemble Faerûn’s most legendary heroes as a draconic apocalypse looms over the Forgotten Realms.

Dark Horse continues its partnership with Wizards of the Coast with the launch of Dungeons & Dragons, a new ongoing series written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, with art by Ibraim Roberson, Arabson Oliveira and Dan Brown, and letters by Haley-Rose Lyon.

Dark Horse has published miniseries based on the popular roleplaying game since they picked up the license, including Dungeons & Dragons: Total Party Killers, which debuted this past Wednesday (the first issue was great, if you haven’t read it yet). But this will be the first ongoing comic series based on D&D since the early days of IDW’s comics.

“This book is the very definition of a passion project for us,” said Kelly. “We’ve been roleplaying together for as long as we’ve been a writing team, which is only slightly less than we’ve been friends. Playing D&D is how we started to fuse our individual storytelling instincts into the incredible blade of our partnership; if a table wants to tell imaginative, emotional stories, then it needs to work off of a core of collaboration, creativity and trust. It’s one of the reasons that we think D&D is one of the greatest games ever made. Yes, the mechanics and game design are tip-top – yes, its magic system is incredible and we will be using it to its ABSOLUTE FULLEST – but MOST IMPORTANTLY…D&D is a game that can never be ‘won,’ but which can make you a better person through playing. Of course, player catharsis only comes from character pain…and sadly for our characters, we’re about to end the world.”

Bryan Lee O’Malley returns to Scott Pilgrim for the first time in 16 years with a new one-shot

‘Scott Pilgrim EX: Dawn of Metal Scott’ is a prequel to the Scott Pilgrim EX video game.

Oni Press has announced Scott Pilgrim EX: Dawn of Metal Scott #1, a new one-shot written and drawn by Bryan Lee O’Malley that will arrive in November. The comic is his first new Scott Pilgrim comic since the original series wrapped 16 year ago.

The one-shot serves as a prequel to the Scott Pilgrim EX video game, introducing antagonist Metal Scott across a complete 16-page story, along with never-before-seen extras and a look at O’Malley’s creative process.

“When I was asked to create a minicomic for Scott Pilgrim EX, I quickly said yes without considering the implications,” said O’Malley. “Only when I started writing and drawing it did I realize this would be the first new Scott Pilgrim comic in 16 years. It’s only a trifle, but returning to Scott’s Toronto really did feel like coming home.”
