MARVEL COMICS – NEWS WEEK (December 10th, 2018)

The news from Marvel this week started out with four different vague teasers, all of which make it seem like they are going to do a major retcon of some of their classic stories, also announced was a new series from Gail Simone and David Baldeon, a new Spider-Man series from Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley, a new team-up book featuring some fan favorite characters, and more. From the teasers it appears Marvel is going to redo the origin for The Fantastic Four, have someone else save Jean Grey from the Dark Phoenix, have someone besides the Avengers find Captain America in ice, and someone else bring back Spider-Man after he hung up his outfit in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50. These are four very classic stories from legendary creators so it will be very interesting how Marvel decided to redo them. Also on Tuesday, Marvel announced a new series from the team that previously worked on DOMINO. Gail Simone and artist David Baldeon will launch a five part mini-series titled DOMINO: HOTSHOTS #1 in 2019. The series will feature Domino along with other bad-ass women as they take on some missions. No date for release was given in the press release, but the first issue will feature cover art from R.B. Silva. All the teasers about the Marvel’s history being rewritten on Tuesday was followed by the announcement on Wednesday as to who was behind it. It seems Cosmic Ghost Rider is stuck in the past, so what does he do? Rewrite history in a 6-part series written by comedian Paul Scheer and Nick Giovannetti with art from Gerardo Sandoval. The first issue of COSMIC GHOST RIDER DESTROYS MARVEL HISTORY will be released on March 6th with cover from Gerardo Zaffino. What if Spider-Man had aged at the same rate as our world?” That’s the question that the new Spider-Man series from the team of writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Mark Bagley looks to answer. The series kicks off in the 1966 and the Vietnam War taking place with Peter having to decide where is loyalties lie. The first part of the six part mini-series titled SPIDER-MAN: LIFE STORY will be released in March with a regular cover version from Zdarsky and a variant cover from Marcos Martin.
On Thursday a new title that will see Kamala Khan and Doreen Green (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl) along with Daisy Johnson (Quake), Miles Morales (Spider-Man), Dante Pertuz (Inferno), America Chavez, and more. The five-part mini-series titled MARVEL RISING will kick off in March from McDuffie Award winner Nilah Magruder on writing duties, Roberto Di Salvo handling the artwork, with cover art from Audry Mok. As part of their year long celebration for their 80th Anniversary, Marvel is kicking off the year with 9 different variant covers from Phil Noto that will all connect together to make one large piece of art. Look for the variant covers in January at your local comic book shop. The Marvel Rising news above wasn’t the only news pertaining to Ms. Marvel this week, on Friday a new series starring her was announced. Coming in March from writer Saladin Ahmed, and artist Minkyu Jung will be THE MAGNIFICENT MS. MARVEL.  The first issue will be released on March 13th, 2019 with three different cover versions; a main cover from Eduard Petrovich, and two different variant covers, one from Elsa Charretier and the other from Babs Tarr. The last piece of news for the week was sent out without any details aside from the picture below and “Amazing Spider-Man coming March 2019” Does this mean Kraven is going on the hunt again? Should the Marvel Comic Universe be worried? Check back next week and hopefully we will have more news on this….

BULLY, BRAWLER, MERCENARY, SPIES: MARVEL’S HOTTEST TEAM IS HERE!

Introducing The hotshots From Domino creative team Gail Simone and David Baldeon!
New York, NY—December 11, 2018—Domino. Black Widow. White Fox. Atlas Bear. Outlaw. Diamondback. This March, Marvel invites you to meet a dangerous crew of international women – the newest group of hot shots to enter the Marvel Universe! Celebrated DOMINO creative team Gail Simone (Birds of Prey) and David Baldeon (Spirits of Vengeance) are bringing you an all-new story filled with feisty femme fatales, intense action, mercenary adventures, and espionage. “So, it’s like this,” teased series writer Gail Simone. “Marvel came and said they love the team aspect of DOMINO and want to expand it even further. They said, you get to keep writing your favorite Marvel ladies, with your favorite Marvel artist, but on top of that, you get to ADD MORE AMAZING CHARACTERS YOU LOVE. It took about two seconds for me to say, ‘I’m IN, I AM SO IN.’” “Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Marvel’s greatest femmes fatale assembled for a very specific mission (if they don’t kill each other first, natch!),” added series editor Chris Robinson. “After launching DOMINO to huge acclaim earlier this year, I’m absolutely thrilled to have Gail and David bringing the HOTSHOTS into the Marvel Universe (and our hearts!)” “Domino feels she has to grow up a little, and some of the new agents have virtually NO sense of humor. And they find an object that is something very close to the heart of the entire Marvel Universe,” said Simone. “The only problem is EVERYBODY wants it. We’re having a blast. It’s Domino, but with a bunch of the coolest characters in comics, kicking international covert butt and taking names. Best of all, it’s drawn by the incredible David Baldeon. This is the stuff I most love writing, and David is THE guy to draw it all and make it brilliant. I couldn’t be happier. Where do we go from here? THE HOTSHOTS AIN’T TELLING.” Who are the hotshots? Find out this March, when DOMINO: HOTSHOTS #1 hits local comic stores!

New York, NY—December 14, 2018—Marvel is excited to announce that this spring, Eisner Award–winner Saladin Ahmed (Black Bolt, Exiles) and rising star Minkyu Jung (Batgirl, Nightwing) will take the reins of one of Marvel’s most beloved new characters in THE MAGNIFICENT MS. MARVEL #1!

“I think she’s really the face of everything that’s new and fresh and exciting and ‘21st century’ at Marvel, and with superheroes in general. To be given stewardship of that is a big deal to me,” Ahmed told Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive announcement. “It’s always thrilling being given responsibility over a beloved character. It’s particularly meaningful for me to be taking over from Willow.”

“It just seems so incredible that this character, who was just going to be a fun project for both of us loosely influenced by Sana’s own experiences growing up, had become a cultural phenomenon that was going to outlive us both,” current Ms. Marvel writer G. Willow Wilson also told EW. “Given that was true, I really wanted to be cognizant of the fact that superheroes thrive with a multiplicity of voices telling their stories. I wanted to leave on a high note.”
