NYCC | Enter the ‘Dungeons of Doom,’ if you dare, in January

Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Benjamin Percy and more engage in the ultimate heist — stealing the unguarded secrets of Doctor Doom.

Doom’s reign as sorcerer supreme and emperor of the world may be coming to an end soon, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be some fallout. At New York Comic Con, Marvel announced Dungeons of Doom, a three-issue miniseries that will find “a new cast of characters from various corners of the Marvel Universe” shifting through the wreckage of Latveria to find Doom’s secret weapons.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Benjamin Percy are co-writing the series, which will feature art by Carlos Magno, Robert Gill, Justin Mason and Georges Jeanty.

“Ben Percy is a kindred spirit, and we both love horror books,” Johnson said. “Without spoiling the events that lead up to this series, there’s going to be a big conflict in Latveria, and all these factions end up in a place they didn’t ever know that was there. It gives us a set up for a horror anthology in the Marvel Universe, where we’ll see various factions of the Marvel Universe opening these doors and finding these horrors that Doom has been keeping hidden.”

‘X-Vengers,’ ‘Cloak or Dagger’ + more round out the ‘Age of Revelation’ titles

The final titles announced for the upcoming X-Men event will all kick off in the final week of October.

It’s the fourth and final round of Age of Revelation titles, as Marvel reveals the titles that’ll kick off on Oct. 29. This round features different takes on Deadpool, Cloak and Dagger, the Avengers and more.

The spiritual successor to the Age of Apocalypse event from the 1990s, Age of Revelation features the Heir to Apocalypse, Doug Ramsey, taking over the world and creating a new mutant paradise that’s built on a lie. If you checked out this week’s prelude issue, then Xorn has already explained to you how, 10 years in the future, everything has changed in the Marvel Universe under the rule of Doug Ramsey (which is a weird sentence to type, being an old school New Mutants fan).

Details on these final titles can be found below, and if you’re planning to be at the San Diego Comic Con next week, you can find out more details at Marvel’s X-Men panel on Thursday at 1:45 p.m. PT. Here’s their full panel line-up.

After losing his job, Doctor Strange looks for a new opportunity … in Asgard

Derek Landy and Carlos Magno will end Doctor Strange’s forced retirement and send him to an unexpected location next March.

If you’ve been wondering what Doctor Strange’s “future endeavors” might include, wonder no more — the former sorcerer supreme of Earth is headed to Asgard to see if they have any openings. Hopefully Thor can give him a good recommendation.

The series starts in March as part of the bigger One World Under Doom storyline, and its by writer Derek Landy and artist Carlos Magno.

“It’s been a daunting prospect, taking the reins of Doctor Strange and leading him into a new era,” Landy said. “To follow on from the last few years of stories, which have seen huge creative leaps from astonishing creative teams, would have been a terrifying prospect were it not for Editor Alanna Smith’s primary instruction: move him to Asgard.”

Kelly, Lanzing + Magno will provide the definitive origin of ‘Kang the Conquerer’

The Marvel villain takes the spotlight in a new miniseries that starts in August.

Marvel has announced plans to release a miniseries that’ll tell the “definitive origin story” of one of the Avengers’ greatest foes. Kang the Conquerer will launch in August by the writing team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Carlos Magno, Espen Grundetjern and Joe Caramagna.

“Time may mean nothing to Kang, but Kang means everything to us. This is the book we’ve been wanting to write for years,” Lanzing said. “It’s a total dream come true for Collin and I to be making our Marvel debut – we’re best friends who first met through a mutual love of Young Avengers, Runaways and Ultimate Spider-Man. But to make our first mark with a character as storied as Kang the Conqueror, on a very personal pitch we never in a million years thought would be greenlit, is a genuine honor. Carlos Magno is delivering jaw-dropping work that recalls the exacting detail and operatic emotion of Kang’s co-creator Jack Kirby. We’re genuinely stunned by every new page. Add the brilliant colors by Espen Grundetjern, letters by the Marvel master Joe Caramanga, and the insightful leadership of our editor Alanna Smith, and you’ve got a team worthy of one of Marvel’s greatest unsung characters.”

Marvel revives ‘Invaders,’ ‘Marvel Comics Presents’ as part of their 80th anniversary

Chip Zdarsky, Carlos Magno, Butch Guice and more dip into Marvel’s past to help celebrate the future.

With their 80th anniversary coming up next year, Marvel is reviving two titles in January — the anthology Marvel Comics Presents, and Invaders by Chip Zdarsky, Carlos Magno and Butch Guice.

Marvel Comics Presents ran as a bi-weekly anthology series from 1988 until 1995. Some of the highlights of the original run included the first published work of Scott Lobdell (including a clever story about Reed and Sue Richards living in the suburbs); Barry Windsor Smith’s “Weapon X” serial, one of the first stories to detail Wolverine’s origins; and the first appearances of characters like Cyber, Damage Control and Nth Man. There was also a very wonderful Colossus story, Colossus: God’s Country, written by Ann Nocenti. The series returned in 2007 for a 12-issue run.

The new volume will feature the works of Charles Soule, Greg Pak, Ann Nocenti, Tomm Coker and Paulo Siqueira, telling stories about Namor, Captain America and of course Wolverine, who appeared in many issues of the first volume.

Marvel’s original non-team is taking back their name and returning in a series of one-shots by several different creators, as The Defenders — Hulk, Dr. Strange, Namor and Silver Surfer — reunite this December.

The Defenders first banded together back in Marvel Feature #1 in 1971. They moved to their own title in 1972, which lasted 152 issues and featured several other reoccurring members like Nighthawk, Valkyrie, Hellcat and Gargoyle. They’ve since returned in various incarnations. The most recent Defenders series took its inspiration from the Netflix TV series of the same name and included Luke Cage, Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist.
