‘Daredevil’ returns next March by Stephanie Phillips + Lee Garbett

Matt Murdock gets a new job and is targeted by a new villain named Omen.

Marvel will relaunch Daredevil next year, as Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett head to Hell’s Kitchen for new stories featuring the introduction of a new villain named Omen. Also, Matt Murdock goes back to school!

“I’m taking on one of my favorite characters with one of my favorite artists, and together we’re exploring Daredevil’s noir sensibilities,” Phillips said. “Lee Garbett brings so much style and emotion to every page, and I couldn’t ask for a better partner to bring this version of Daredevil to life.”

Phillips and Garbett follow writer Saladin Ahmed’s run on the title, who worked with artists Aaron Kuder, Jose Luis and others over the course of 25 issues. Phillips is also the first woman to write the Daredevil ongoing series since Ann Nocenti’s run ended in 1991.

Cullen Bunn + Christopher Mitten return to ‘The Autumn Kingdom’ next year

Sommer and Winter’s quest to rescue their parents brings them in contact with ‘The Wraithbound Queen.’

Cullen Bunn and Christopher Mitten’s Autumn Kingdom, which came out last year, is getting a sequel. Oni Press has announced Autumn Kingdom: The Wraithbound Queen will kick off in February, continuing the story of two girls, Sommer and Winter, who seek to rescue their parents from a realm ruled by faeries, monsters and demons.

“When I started writing Autumn Kingdom, I knew I had a big, epic story to tell,” Bunn said. “I also knew that I needed to break it into easy-to-digest chapters. In a lot of ways, it’s like the classic dark sword and sorcery tales of old. You can jump in with Wraith Queen and easily follow and enjoy the story. You’ll know there’s a bigger world to explore, but that only adds fuel to the world-building fire!”

Brian Michael Bendis + Mark Bagley will team on a story for ‘Avengers’ #800

The ‘Avengers Assemble’ team will tell a story featuring Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and Hydra.

The Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble team is getting the band back together for a back-up story featuring Iron Man, Thor and Captain America for Avengers #800.

Marvel announced the milestone issue will arrive in January, as issue #34 marks the 800th issue of Avengers, if you ignore all the relaunches and renumbering. Bendis actually made his debut on the title roughly 300 issues ago, on Avengers #500, which started the “Avengers: Disassembled” storyline that resulted in the book’s relaunch as New Avengers.

“Returning to the pages of Marvel Comics has been an incredible experience,” Bendis said. “To reunite with the Avengers on the occasion of an anniversary is doubly wonderful because anniversary issues are where we really celebrate our love of the characters and legacy. I made my Avengers debut on Avengers #500. I love the symmetry.”

Marvel changes an upcoming Captain America story to reintroduce SHIELD

Captain America will have different companions now for his trip to Latveria.

Marvel has announced that SHIELD, led by Nick Fury Jr., will return in Captain America #6, seemingly replacing the team of international superheroes that was set to debut in that issue.

The post-One World Under Doom story would have introduced a group of super soldiers sent to assist Captain America on a mission to Latveria, including Captain Kingdom, Captain France, The Star and a new Red Widow. But this week Marvel announced that issue will now feature a new iteration of SHIELD that will include Nick Fury Jr., Red Widow and several new SHIELD agents — all in the lead-up to Armageddon.

They even kept the same cover design by artist Valerio Schiti, replacing the “Captains” with SHIELD:

Matt Kindt + David Lapham team for ‘Knight City’

The psychological superhero thriller will debut from Dark Horse in February.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Knight City, a three-issue series that will debut in February. The project reunites Matt Kindt and David Lapham, who worked together on The Hero Trade from Bad Idea.

Kindt will write and color the book, with illustrations by Lapham and letters Joshua Reed.

The comic is about a superhero who lives two lives: While awake, he’s tasked with protecting the entire world. But while sleeping, he shifts to a mundane world where he has no super powers. Kindt has explored similar ideas in Revolver and Subgenre, where the main characters also had two different lives and worlds they traveled to when they slept.

‘Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon’ will lead into Marvel’s 2026 summer event

Chip Zdarsky and Luca Maresca send Wolverine on a mission that will “kick off the end of everything.”

Armageddon, Marvel’s big event helmed by Chip Zdarsky that’s coming next summer, will actually kick off in February with a prelude series — Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon.

Zdarsky will write the four-issue miniseries, which will feature artwork by Luca Maresca. The series will send Wolverine “on a pivotal mission to track down the latest victim of a new superhuman experimentation program,” something akin to the Weapon X program.

“The Road to Armageddon starts with super soldiers, starts with the Weapon X program. And Wolverine is going to kick off the end of everything,” Zdarsky said. “For readers of Captain America, this is essential! For readers who want to know where the Marvel Universe is going, same. I’m pretty thrilled to get to tell this massive story, starting in Cap and really kicking it off here in Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon!”

Exclusive Preview | ‘Ancestral Recall’ races toward its finale

The Mignola brothers team with Warwick Johnson-Cadwell on ‘The Crown: A Tale of Hell’

The two-issue Hellboy miniseries will return to hell for some family drama.

Mike Mignola is teaming up with his brother, Todd, for a new Hellboy miniseries. The Crown: A Tale of Hell is a two-issue miniseries that’ll be written by the two brothers, with artwork by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell.

Appropriately, it’s about Hellboy’s brothers.

“Todd came to me with the idea of writing something about Hellboy’s brothers,” Mike Mignola said. “It never would have occurred to me to do more with those guys but it didn’t take much prodding. Brothers writing about brothers in a somewhat complicated family dynamic—once we got going it was almost too easy. And fun. And SO MUCH fun that I could only imagine it drawn by Warwick.”

Chip Zdarsky will unleash ‘Armageddon’ on the Marvel Universe in 2026

A new teaser hints at Marvel’s plans for Avengers.

The end is coming, a new Marvel teaser says, and they’re giving you seven months to prepare.

The publisher has revealed Armageddon (not to be confused with DC’s 2001 event of the same name), an Avengers-centered event spearheaded by Chip Zdarsky. According to Marvel.com, it’ll change “the face of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a way not seen since Avengers: Disassembled.”

Here’s a look at the teaser, designed by Zdarsky:

Slugfest | The Avengers celebrate a milestone in Marvel’s January solicitations

Plus: Psylocke: Ninja, Luna Snow, a bloody Logan and more.

Slugfest is a roundup of cool announcements about projects coming to a shelf near you. This edition focuses on Marvel’s January 2026 solicitations. Hit the links for more information.

January’s a big month for Marvel with a lot of new titles debuting, including a new Iron Man title, Dungeons of Doom, a Knull miniseries and the entire Shadows of Tomorrow line, among many othesr, as you’ll see below.

But before getting into more of that new stuff, let’s look at a big milestone issue that lands in January — Avengers #34, or #800 with legacy numbering. The oversized milestone issue features Earth’s Mightiest Heroes dealing with the long-simmering clash between Kang and Myrddin, which writer Jed MacKay introduced when he took over the title and finally erupts into cosmic chaos.

Marvel announces its new ‘Sorcerer Supreme’

Steve Orlando and Bernard Chang will plot a new course for the Scarlet Witch in December.

With the One World Under Doom crossover series set to wrap up in November, Marvel has been teasing a new character will step into the role as sorcerer supreme — someone besides Doom or the traditional bearer of the title, Doctor Strange.

This week Marvel revealed who would take on the job when the Sorcerer Supreme title launches in December, and it is none other than the mystical Avenger, the Scarlet Witch. The tale of how she gets her new gig will be told by longtime Scarlet Witch scribe Steve Orlando, joined by artist Bernard Chang.

“When it comes to the Scarlet Witch…anything’s possible,” Orlando said. “Those are the words Wanda lives by, and they’re the words we as creators live by, too. So, with the Sorcerer Supreme title in the wind after One World Under Doom, the question became—who’s the next to wield the cloak and the eye? Or more precisely—who could hear such powerful artifacts crying out from the edge of destruction? And in the Marvel Universe, there’s one person above all who hears you when no one else will—Wanda Maximoff!”

Benjamin Percy + José Luis Soares launch a new ‘Punisher’ ongoing

Frank Castle’s new series lands in February.

Following the current Punisher: Red Band miniseries, that book’s writer Benjamin Percy will team with artist José Luis Soares on a new Punisher ongoing series.

The new series will continue the story set up in the Red Band miniseries, although it isn’t completely clear if it’ll come polybagged and contain all the blood ‘n’ guts that the miniseries did. But you can expect to see Jigsaw show up.

“Punisher: Red Band was a new beginning for Frank Castle—and an unrelenting assault,” Percy said. “The book was polybagged, because it was a biohazard, dripping with blood. Now that you know we aren’t fooling around, we’re entering a new phase of storytelling that will serve both as a continuation of Red Band and a fresh start for new readers.”
