JANET VAN DYNE FLIES HIGHER THAN EVER IN AL EWING AND KASIA NIE’S WASP COMIC SERIES!

This January, a new limited series starring Janet and Nadia Van Dyne celebrates the 60th Anniversary of WASP!

New York, NY— August 26, 2022 — Since the very dawn of the Marvel super hero age, Janet Van Dyne has enchanted comic book fans as the founding Avenger known as the Wasp! Now, after 60 years of being a super hero and fashion icon, the character will headline a new four-issue limited series!

Arriving in January, WASP will be written by superstar Marvel mastermind Al Ewing and drawn by Kasia Nie, known for her acclaimed work on titles like Mockingbird and Age of Conan: Belit. Like Ewing’s hit Ant-Man series currently on stands, WASP will pay tribute to Janet’s incredible legacy by shedding new light on her wild Silver Age origin, spotlighting her relationship with protégé Nadia Van Dyne, and paving the way for a bright future! The saga will also directly lead into another Ewing-penned series launching in the new year!

After countless Avengers missions, earth-shattering battles, and fabulous costumes, Janet Van Dyne is ready to start a new chapter in her legendary super hero career! But as she sets out to change up her role within Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, a villain from her past rises out of the shadows to ruin all she’s worked for. Joined by Nadia Van Dyne, Janet and Nadia team up against a dangerous new organization with shocking connections to both their histories. As the threat grows more urgent, Janet and Nadia will face a test so great that they may become the very thing they fear most…

"The Ant-Man series was a whole lot of fun and gave me a new appreciation for Janet Van Dyne and her world - and when I went digging into her past, there was a whole story there just waiting to be unearthed,” Ewing explained. “If you weren't a fan of the Wondrous Wasp before - not to mention her adopted daughter Nadia Van Dyne - you will be when we're done!"

“I’m super excited to work with Al and rest of the team on this anniversary tribute to Wasp,” Nie added. “I love Janet, she’s one of my favorite Marvel characters—a mature person with an uneasy past, a successful woman and the best mom to Nadia. She’s unstoppable.”

Check out two of Tom Reilly’s main covers for the series, following the same bold design as his beloved covers for the Ant-Man series, and get swept away in Janet Van Dyne’s new era when WASP #1 arrives in January! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Writer James Asmus (Quantum and Woody, Survival Street, Gambit) and Artist Edison Neo (Snake Claws, No-Brainer, Tights) are also attached to the project. This is the first of many creative partnerships that leverage IDW’s experience and resources to develop stories that reach audiences through a variety of ways.

"It's an ideal landscape for a creator's vision to be realized."

Silverstein and Jeser have been creating together for more than 20 years, first writing and producing segments for Comedy Central's Crank Yankers and Drawn Together, as well as Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Golan the Insatiable, and Solar Opposites.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be working with the entire IDW team, who are exquisitely talented, collaborative, and as charming as we are,” said Silverstein and Jeser. “We appreciate being given the opportunity to fail and we truly look forward to doing just that.”

“Family Time” falls within IDW’s recently announced slate of new original projects that include Dark Spaces: Wildfire, Trve Kvlt, Crashing, Earthdivers, Dead Seas, Golgotha Motor Mountain, Arca, The Sin Bin, and The Hunger and the Dusk. IDW is currently in negotiations for numerous other co-development projects that will also leverage this unique partnership opportunity. Jonny Gutman, Vice President of Original Series, and Julie Winograd, Director of Development, will run point on the development of the series adaptation for IDW Entertainment.

DARK WEB FORCES AN UNLIKELY TEAM-UP IN NEW MARY JANE & BLACK CAT SERIES!

Jed MacKay and Vicenzo Carratù launch MARY JANE & BLACK CAT, a new five-issue limited series coming this December

New York, NY— August 25, 2022 — Face it, readers, you just hit the double jackpot! Mary Jane and Black Cat, two of the greatest loves of Peter Parker’s life, grab the spotlight in an explosive new limited series this December! The five-issue saga will tie directly into the upcoming Spider-Man/X-Men/Venom crossover, DARK WEB, and be written by Jed MacKay. After taking the character of Black Cat on a whirlwind of adventures in recent years in back-to-back solo series and the current Iron Cat limited series, the hit writer will now continue his transformative work on Marvel’s premier super thief, and this time, he’s taken MJ along for the ride! MacKay will be joined by artist Vincenzo Carratù, an up-and-coming talent making his exciting Marvel Comics debut!

Earlier this year, MJ and Felicia joined forces to save Peter in MacKay’s Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond #1, an acclaimed one-shot that went on to receive a second printing. With the way Peter’s relationship stands with them in the current run of Amazing Spider-Man, the developments in this series are sure to be even crazier! Set against the twisted backdrop of DARK WEB, Mary Jane Watson and Felicia Hardy find themselves thrown into one another’s paths and then into the demonic dimension of LIMBO! But something has changed with MJ, and she’s not the only one keeping secrets – Felicia’s got a guilty conscience, and it’s playing havoc with their escape plan!

"I've kind of lost track of how many lives Felicia has left at this point, but she keeps coming back- and this time she's brought a friend!” MacKay said. “Getting back to Mary Jane and Black Cat after their one-shot last year has been a delight—and seeing how they've been catching up on all the drama that's happened since then has been, well, catnip."

The team-up series Marvel fans have been waiting for is here! Check out the cover below by J. Scott Campbell, who once again lends his superstar talents to MJ and Black Cat’s saga, and pick up MARY JANE & BLACK CAT #1 when it arrives in December! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Skinner features interior art by Piotr Kowalski with colors by Dennis Calero, letters by Frank Cvetkovic (The Witcher, Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three), and cover art by Samwise Didier.

Skinner is the terrifying tale of six internet celebrities who accompany a superstar survivalist on a one-week trip deep into the remote Canadian wilderness. After their plane crashes, the influencers and their guide are stalked by a mountain man of local legend—Skinner—who tracks, murders and skins his victims. When the celebrities mount a desperate counterattack, they discover that there is much more to the Skinner myth than any of them could have imagined—a nightmare creature that can assume any form.

“Sam and I are both huge horror fans,” Mickey said. “Skinner is our love letter to the genre."

Skinner HC will be available at comic stores May 3, 2023 and in bookstores May 16, 2023. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and at your local comic shop and bookstore. Skinner will retail for $24.99.

A stranded alien explorer—hiding in plain sight—has been posing as a doctor and solving crimes in the small town of Patience, Washington. After Harry accidentally reveals himself to investigators who are on his trail, a mysterious arsonist and a stubborn federal agent arrive in town to heat things up! The local sheriff must decide if he’ll remain loyal to his inquisitive friend Harry, and nurse Asta finally realizes the danger she and Harry are both in.

Each episode presents a new perspective, a journey... another window into not just the cultural impact of Marvel on the world but the cultures that have influenced and impacted Marvel, our stories and our characters,” said host Angélique Roché. “From Japan to South Africa, Paris to Argentina, the richness of our stories has long benefited and continue to benefit from the richness of the identities, lived experiences, and imaginations of creatives around the world.”

The weekly 8-episode series is produced by Isabel Robertson and Kara McGuirk-Allison, and executive produced by Jill Du Boff. For more information, please visit marvel.com/voices.

Vermeer's Maps

Exploring the convergence of art and science in the map renderings of one of the world’s most beloved artists

Vermeer's Maps, published by DelMonico Books / Frick Collection. Featured: Johannes Vermeer, Officer and Laughing Girl, ca. 1657. Oil on canvas, 19 7/8 x 18 1/8 in. (50.5 x 46 cm). The Frick Collection. Photo: Joseph Coscia Jr.

Delmonico Books / The Frick Collection

People have been captivated by the work of Johannes Vermeer (1632–75) since the 19th-century rediscovery of the Dutch painter. Maps, an intricate fusion of art and science, held an important and multifaceted place in the Netherlands in the 17th century and were of particular interest to Vermeer. Of the approximately 34 paintings attributed to the Delft-based artist, wall maps and other cartographic objects are depicted in nine of them, including the renowned Officer and Laughing Girl and his masterpiece, The Art of Painting. With stunning reproductions and incisive text, this book is the most comprehensive study of the artist's depiction of wall maps to date. Drawing on rare surviving examples of the maps and other primary sources, author Rozemarijn Landsman examines this intriguing aspect of Vermeer’s work, greatly enriching and expanding our understanding of the art and life of the “Sphinx of Delft.”

Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna . KHM - Museumsverband. Featured images are reproduced from Vermeer's Maps, published by DelMonico Books / Frick Collection.

Johannes Vermeer was born in Delft in 1632. Few known documents record his early life and none describe his artistic training, which has been the subject of much speculation. Vermeer’s work commanded high prices during his lifetime, yet the expenses of his large family, his unsold inventory as a painter and art dealer, and the Dutch economic downturn of the 1670s appear to have depleted his resources to the extent that he died in debt at the age of forty-three. Today, only thirty-four paintings are generally accepted to be by Vermeer’s hand, of which three are in The Frick Collection.

Vermeer's Maps

By Rozemarijn Landsman.

“While scholars continue to remark on the prominence of maps in Vermeer’s art, these objects are rarely the center of attention. [...] Questions about the maps in Vermeer’s paintings linger: What kinds of maps are they? How were they made? For whom were they produced? What were their functions? Above all, the questions of what maps meant for Vermeer and his art and what may have motivated him to choose these specific objects to adorn his painted walls remain to be addressed.” —Rozemarijn Landsman

“The world of DARK RIDE has so much to offer and so many great characters, we had to find a way to showcase more of this hellishly awesome world Josh and Andrei created!” said series editor, Amanda LaFranco. “And there’s been no better way to do that than have our incredible variant artists explore all parts of the park and its dark history – from Devil Land mascots Danny D.

Kick off your adventure with BAD IDEA TWO by diving into Previews today!

This Marvel Previews Catalog #95 has nothing to do with BAD IDEA, but some would say it's the first appearance of Miles Morales. That's ridiculous because it's marketing and marketing can't be a first appearance. Nevertheless, some do say it. Well we say, "They're puppets!" Puppets of the pump and dump, manipulative games big comics media plays. A never ending game of puppets building more puppets who just build bigger puppets who build more puppets.

Not just back, but bigger, badder and filled to the brim with comics. We may have been "over", but we certainly weren't idle. Team BAD IDEA was hard at work building a massive reservoir of new comics. So massive that one slate of books could not contain it all.

Introducing BAD IDEA TWO -- a mammoth two-part slate of mind-blowing comic books that are so staggering they have to be seen to be believed. These are the types of comics you can only make if you're solely focused on creating them and not distracted by the printing or selling or marketing.

BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE consists of seven brain-melting, long box-busting titles so guaranteed to excite and dazzle that we're going to offer them for a very special blind pre-order!

No details about the BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE stories, titles or the creators will be revealed until after the BAD IDEA TWO PRE-ORDER DAY EVENT. So run, don't walk, to one of the many BAD IDEA Destination Stores and pre-order all seven of the books in the big BAD IDEA return to guarantee nothing BAD IDEA-y prevents you from completing your BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE collection.

Here's how the BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE PRE-ORDER DAY event works:

1 - BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE is made up of seven titles (15 issues) on-sale between November and February.

2 - Connect with any BAD IDEA Destination Store (in-person or by any other means accepted by the store).

3 - Pre-order all seven of the BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE titles with your store. You are pre-ordering blind. No titles. No story details. No creative teams. Only the cover price and number of issues will be released. Consult your store for their pre-order requirements.

4 - If you're one of the first 10 people to pre-order all seven titles at your store, you will be awarded a swanky BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE redemption sticker.

5 - The sticker can be used to redeem, from BAD IDEA, an extra, alternate, and exclusive story choice for one of the soon-to-be-revealed books in the BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE line-up. WTF is a story choice? Oh boy, just you wait.

BAD IDEA is more than just comics sold exclusively in comic book shops, it's an all-in lifestyle that preaches no variants, no trades, no digital, select stores and the straightforwardness of Not First Printings. Goodbye, troubles. Hello, BAD IDEA SIMPLICITY™.

Make sure you don't miss a single BAD IDEA release by visiting a BAD IDEA Destination Store, one of the more than 200 around the world. They'll help you pick up all the glorious BAD IDEA books -- but be quick, sell outs are common -- or pre-order with one in advance to make sure you secure your copy.

PEREMOHA VICTORY FOR UKRAINE – STORIES FROM THE FRONTLINES OF THE WAR IN POWERFUL NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL ANTHOLOGY FROM TOKYOPOP

The heroism, tragedy, and insanity of the war hits readers in a poignant collection of nine stories by Ukrainian creators; A portion of the proceeds to benefit Razom for Ukraine

August 24, 2022, Los Angeles, CA – Publisher TOKYOPOP calls attention to the horrific war in Ukraine with the release of PEREMOHA VICTORY FOR UKRAINE, a new full-color graphic novel anthology by Ukrainian creators that debuts digitally on August 24, Ukrainian Independence Day, with a print release on September 27th, 2022.

The war comes to readers (for ages 12+) in nine stories that humanize the conflict in Ukraine in a unique and emotionally lasting way with a focus on the heroism of the Ukrainian people and military in the face of overwhelming forces. Witness the struggles of brave defenders in cities like Kyiv, Mariupol, Kherson, and Snake Island, and how the utter insanity and irony of the war is told from the standpoint of a looted Ukrainian washing machine, and a humble farm tractor that wants to steal Russian tanks.

“PEREMOHA VICTORY FOR UKRAINE grew out of tremendous upheaval caused by the invasion and my personal experience hosting some displaced families at my home in Berlin where I now reside,” says Stu Levy, Founder/CEO of TOKYOPOP. “As I learned more about what was happening, we connected with the talented Ukrainian creators, artists and writers that brought the book to life. These stories are vignettes, originally created and published to inspire the people of Ukraine, but they will leave a lasting impression on readers around the world. The stories are steeped in the realities of the war but depicted in a very relatable way. We invite readers to discover this book and to stand for victory and freedom with the people of Ukraine.”

The stories in PEREMOHA VICTORY FOR UKRAINE include:

Episode 1: The Ghost of Kyiv – the now legendary story of an invincible ace Ukrainian fighter pilot – the Ghost of Kyiv – a man who protected hundreds of thousands of Kyivans, their children and homes during the first 30 hours of a massive attack on the city when he shot down 6 Russian planes.

Episode 2: The Witch – Witches hold a distinct and storied place in Ukrainian culture. Witness how Russian soldiers bent on terrorizing the civilian population find more than they bargain for when they meet a vengeful Ukrainian witch on a deserted road.

Episode 3: Azov-Stal – This story is about the Azov regiment, the marines, border guards and policemen; who held out against incredible odds in the long-suffering city on the shores of the Sea of Azov; about the people who became hostages of the bloodthirsty military machine of the Russians.

Episode 4: Looters – The looting of the Russian army and the ironic fate of a Ukrainian washing machine.

Episode 5: Zmiinyi Island 13 –The now iconic battle for Snake Island, where a band of brave Ukrainian solders defied the Russian navy and the proclaimed the legendary phrase that the world now knows – “Russian Warship F...ck Yourself.”

Episode 6: Throughout the Centuries – Ordinary Ukrainians take up arms against the Russian army using ancient earthen ramparts called the Snake Walls, built during the time of Kyivan Rus by Princes Volodymyr the Great and Yaroslav the Wise in the 9th and 10th Centuries to defend their lands from attacks from the southeast by nomadic tribes. In WW2, they were part of the defense lines against the Nazis and today they have helped to slow down and menace the advance of the invading Russian army.

Episode 7: Brave Little Tractor – An inspiring about an unlikely hero - a brave Ukrainian farm tractor that steals Russian army tanks.

Episode 8: Cyber Kherson – An inspiring story of a new breed of Ukrainian rebels using technology to continue the struggle for democracy under brutal Russian occupation in the city of Kherson, located near Crimea and the eastern Donbas region.

Episode 9: The Price of Victory – How ordinary people in Ukraine went to war to defend their home, families, freedom, and fight for the right to live in their own free country and determine their own futures.

Writer Denys Fadieiev penned seven of the stories and adds, “My dream is our victory against Russian militarism as soon as possible. We do everything possible for it and people around the world can become involved. Please support Ukraine. Even a few dollars can break the spine of the Russian monster.”

Eduard Akhramovych, Founder of the Ukrainian-based creative collective, Art Nation, and General Producer of PEREMOHA VICTORY FOR UKRAINE says, “My personal slogan is ‘Create where you are.’ We create new works even in times of war. The memorable events of the first weeks of the Ukrainian-Russian war and the exploits of ordinary Ukrainians inspired us to merge it in several stories to perpetuate the moments of resilience and courage of Ukrainians.

A portion of the proceeds from PEREMOHA: VICTORY FOR UKRAINE will be donated by TOKYOPOP to to benefit Razom for Ukraine, (“Razom” meaning “together” in Ukrainian), a non-profit Ukrainian-American human rights organization established to give direct support to the people of Ukraine in their pursuit of a democratic society with dignity, justice, and human and civil rights for all.

"We are very grateful to TOKYOPOP for this creative and exciting initiative. At Razom, we focus on amplifying the voice of Ukrainians and we are so excited to see Ukrainian creators participating in this collaboration. All contributions enable us to remain resolute in our mission to build a free and prosperous Ukraine. As Russia's war rages on, we need to continue to amplify Ukrainian voices and continue to provide critical medical supplies." - Dora Chomiak, President of Razom for Ukraine

Trick and Treat bring magical hijinks to Riverdale this spooky season!

The mischievous Spirits of Halloween debut in a brand-new one-shot comic book in October

August 23, 2022 — Halloween is about to get a little bit spookier (and a little bit sweeter) when Archie Comics welcomes Trick and Treat to its stable of holiday-themed magical characters in October! The two Halloween imps will make their first appearance in the collectible one-shot comic book, ARCHIE HALLOWEEN SPECTACULAR #1, in a new lead story by writer Ian Flynn and artist Ryan Jampole.

In the story, Trick and Treat – who represent the scary side and the sweet side of Halloween, respectively – try to prove which part of Halloween is the most important, with Archie and the rest of the Riverdale gang suffering the consequences!

“Trick and Treat may be new characters, but they’d feel right at home with the classic creations,” Flynn said. “Since they’re the spirits of Halloween, I wanted to make sure neither of them was the ‘good one’ or the ‘bad one.’ They’re both about fun and enjoying the holiday, but they both have a bit of a naughty streak. I hope folks enjoy them, and we get to see more of them in the future.”

The characters were designed by Archie Comics Art Director Vincent Lovallo, who took inspiration from similar magical characters in the Archie Comics roster who appear in fan-favorite holiday-themed stories every year.

“Editor-in-Chief Mike Pellerito had a few initial ideas in mind with the ultimate goal to have them be our go-to Halloween mascot characters, similar to Jingles the Elf or Sugar Plum the fairy from previous Christmas stories,” Lovallo said. “Their proportions needed to be similar to those characters, but with more of a Funko Pop or Chibi design, and they would be a play on the classic concept of an angel or devil on a person’s shoulders. However, despite those attributes, both characters are equally spirits of Halloween, so naturally, they can get pretty scary if they need to with their shape shifting abilities.”

Artist Ryan Jampole, who drew the debut story, said, “What I really enjoy about them is because they are spirits, they are really rubbery and expressive and it allowed me a lot of freedom to stretch and squash them into all sorts of goofy poses. It was a lot of fun to draw that alongside the slightly more grounded Archie characters.”

The comic will publish alongside a complete slate of Halloween-themed digest comics throughout the weeks leading up to the holiday, all featuring brand new stories and classic reprints from throughout Archie’s 80-year publishing history. ARCHIE HALLOWEEN SPECTACULAR #1 releases October 5 in comic shops nationwide, featuring a cover by Archie legend Dan Parent.

YOUR FAVORITE TATTOOED WITCHES ARE BACK! THE MARKED: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL TAKES ON THE FORCES OF EVIL THIS OCTOBER

PORTLAND, Ore. 08/23/2022 — Fan-favorite duo David Hine and Brian Haberlin re-team for a special Halloween treat for readers just in time for Halloween with The Marked: Halloween Special one-shot out from Image Comics.

Once every hundred years The Marked are challenged to a game called Rogue’s Night. It’s a game, like Russian Roulette is a game, like Christians vs. Lions was a game. The stakes are high and if The Marked lose, we all lose.

Here’s how it works: Rogue was a powerful witch who was kicked out of The Marked four hundred years ago for using Dark Magic. Every century she takes her revenge by choosing a location to unleash her mischief demons. This time her target is Holy Mountain, Texas, where a radical evangelist called Pastor Jonah is burning books and banning Halloween. According to the pastor, leftists and liberals are literally Satan’s demons in human form. As night falls on Halloween, it looks like he was right. The demons are here and it’s all tricks with no treats for the God-fearing citizens of Holy Mountain.

Their only hope of survival lies with the “witchy freaks” known as The Marked, the very people they tried to kick out of town.

Did we mention, that if The Marked fail to send the mischief demons back to Hell before midnight, they get to wreak havoc across the world for the next hundred years?!

Check out the bloody mayhem in regular hellish color or sit back and watch the demons leap off the page in our special 3-D version with exceptionally rare “BLINK” version.

“I love Halloween and wanted to tell a fun and scary story, and who better to cast than my favorite witches! So happy to be in the saddle again with David Hine and Geirrod Van Dyke...and of course my favorite tattooed witches…THE MARKED,” said Haberlin.

Hine added: “I’ve been missing The Marked and I do apologize for killing off half a dozen of them in that first series. I note that Brian hasn’t dispatched any more characters while I was away but I’m back now and it’s Halloween, so nobody’s safe! Brian, why are you crying?”

JONATHAN LUNA’S UPCOMING THE KNIGHT AND THE LADY OF PLAY ONE-SHOT TO LAND ON SHELVES THIS NOVEMBER

PORTLAND, Ore. 08/26/2022 — Bestselling creator Jonathan Luna (The Phalanx,
20XX: Transport) returns with another highly anticipated story in the upcoming, The Knight and the Lady of Play. This one-shot is set to hit shelves this November from Image Comics.

Set after a war with demons, The Knight and the Lady of Play follows knight Signore Vincenzo as he travels home to his wife in Italy. In a swamp, he comes across a mysteriously hypnotic woman, Motta, who tempts him to stay with her.

“I’m excited, not only to release my first work of dark fantasy, but also to create it, drawing on paper again. These are my first non-digital comic-book drawings since The Sword," said Luna. "Also, I will be using just graphite—not ink. Of all my books, this will look the most different.”

Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics, added: "Working with Jonathan and watching him develop as an artist and a storyteller over the last 20 years has been a real pleasure. And the one-shots he's been releasing over the course of this year have been a lot of fun, but this latest effort took me by surprise—just the best kind of progression from his previous work and something that makes me excited to consider what his next full-length project will look like!"

The Knight and the Lady of Play one-shot (Diamond Code SEP220059) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 2.
