SDCC | Joe Quesada teams with Mad Cave Studios + Dupuis for a new comics line

Amazing Comics will launch with its first comic, titled ‘Disciple.’

Today at the San Diego Comic Con, Mad Cave Studios had a special guest joining their panel — former Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, who wasn’t there just to MC.

Quesada teased in his newsletter this week that he was “hosting” their big “industry shaking” panel, which has something to do with this cryptic, Idaho-obsessed website. It turns out their big news is the launch of Amazing Comics, a new imprint spearheaded by Quesada that will be published in the U.S. by Mad Cave and in Europe by Dupuis. The first title they announced is called Disciple, which Quesada will co-write and draw, along with co-writer Charles Dorfman, inker Wade von Grawbadger, colorist Richard Isanove and letterer Joe Caramagna.

“The true origin of Disciple came about when I met Charles Dorfman, a talented writer with a passion for graphic storytelling,” Quesada said. “Charles pitched an adaptation of Hamlet, which sparked a creative journey that led to the unique version of Disciple we have today. This project blends Shakespearean elements with contemporary genres, creating a rich, mythological world for our readers to explore that begins as a prequel to the original, set in a whole new world.”

The Krakoan Age will conclude in two new X-Men miniseries

Marvel announces ‘Fall of the House of X’ and ‘Rise of the Powers of X’ at the New York Comic Con.

All good things, as they say. The Krakoan Age, the current era of X-Men comics that began in 2019 when Jonathan Hickman returned to Marvel for House of X and Powers of X, will come to its official end next year in two miniseries announced today at New York Comic Con.

Fall of the House of X by Gerry Duggan and Lucas Werneck, will continue the story of Cyclops and his capture during Fall of X, as he’s put on trial and faces the death penalty. Rise of the Powers of X by Kieron Gillen and R.B. Silva takes place in the future as mutants attempt to stop Omega Sentinel and Nimrod from summoning “their binary god to consume everything in their accession.”

As they’ve done before, Mark Brooks and Richard Isanove supply the teaser image, which showcases Marvel mutants in various costumes from the comic’s history:

Conan draws his ‘Savage Sword’ again in February

Gerry Duggan and Ron Garney headline the return of ‘Savage Sword of Conan.”

Conan the Barbarian won’t be the only new Conan title coming out from Marvel next year. The publisher announced at New York Comic Con the return of Savage Sword of Conan, by Gerry Duggan, Ron Garney and Richard Isanove.

“My first job was in 7th grade, working part-time at a comics shop that needed help going through their inventory,” Duggan told Marvel.com. “I fell in love with the classic Conan material that year. To be able to play in this sandbox now is a dream come true.”
