In 'Stark Insurgent,' Tony Stark will launch his own offensive against Doom, but he's not going in alone. Rather than having the Avengers at his side, though, Stark's recruiting the Winter Guard, Russia's resident super-team.

We've got a preview of unlettered interior pages from Iron Man #6 by writer Spencer Ackerman, artist Julius Ohta, and color artist Alex Sinclair showing off Stark's meeting with the Winter Guard, in this case consisting of Red Guardian, Ursa Major, Crimson Dynamo, and Red Widow.

Check it out:

"STARK INSURGENT PROLOGUE! The kickoff of an earth-shattering arc and a perfect jumping-on point! Doctor Doom is Emperor of the entire planet! And everyone is… happy about it?! Governments and populations all over kowtow to the Sorcerer Supreme, Emperor Doom, savior of the world," reads Marvel's official description of Iron Man #6.

"Even the Avengers cannot find the evil in his schemes – not yet, anyway. But Tony Stark isn't built to sit back and wait," the description continues. "Equipped with new, deadly armor, Iron Man will take the fight to Doom's door – alongside some unlikely allies. Spencer Ackerman and Julius Ohta turn legacy on its head for a story that will shatter Iron Man's status quo. Don't miss history in the making!"

Iron Man #6 goes on sale March 14.

Kingdom has been running in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine since January 2006 and has sold 110 million copies, ultimately giving rise to an anime adaptation, two live-action films, and multiple video games.

The story is set in China in the Warring States era, and centers on young warrior Xin in his quest to bring China together. So far, in Japan, Kingdom has released 79 volumes.

"Offering readers a thrilling window into one of the most transformative periods in Chinese history, Kingdom is set during China’s Warring States period and follows Xin, a war orphan from the kingdom of Qin, who dreams of becoming a great general and uniting China," reads VIZ's official description of Kingdom. "After his closest friend, Piao, dies under mysterious circumstances, Xin embarks on a journey to fulfill their shared dream. Along the way, he meets Ying Zheng, a young king bearing a striking resemblance to Piao, who seeks Xin’s help to reclaim his throne and change the course of history."

VIZ previously described Kingdom as "our most fan requested title ever," so its English debut has been met with quite some fervor.

VIZ is kicking things off with Kingdom Vol. 1, releasing November 11, 2025. Kingdom Vol. 1 will also be available on VIZ's Shonen Jump digital reading service concurrently with the physical releases of the English language edition.

Take a look back on the top 10 manga of 2024.

Taking place in the aftermath of last year's Absolute Power event, the series sees Nia Nal (AKA Dreamer), Jay Nakamura, and Superman Jon Kent forced to work alongside a team of some of DC's toughest antiheroes, including Catman, Deadshot, and Black Alice. Their mission? Track down the missing Amanda Waller who has vanished from her cell in Belle Reve.

The six-issue series is written by Nicole Maines and illustrated by Stephen Segovia. Newsarama caught up with Maines, who portrayed Dreamer on screen in the Supergirl TV show and who has continued to steer the character's comic book adventures over the last few years, to find out more about the new book and her ongoing "five year plan" for Nia Nal...

Newsarama: Hi Nicole. Let's start at the beginning of Secret Six #1. This first issue really centers on Nia, Jon, and Jay. They've all been through a lot recently even before the events of this issue. So how are they doing?

Nicole Maines: We find the characters post Absolute Power. Perhaps more than any other heroes, Jay, Jon and Nia were targeted and affected by Amanda Waller's campaign, and so we find them in the aftermath of that, and see how they're each dealing with the trauma.

Jon is, as ever, the Super-son. He is determined that things are normal, things are fine, we are back at it. With Nia, I'd say that we see her struggling in a new way, but this girl has been so neck deep in trauma for years she's exactly where she has always been, still awful, still hurling her guts out because she just can't get a win. And Jay is starting to spiral down into this like typhoon of anger and grief and a need for vengeance and justice in a way that is very concerning to his boyfriend.

This issue really makes it feel like Jon and Jay are possibly near breaking point, despite the fact they've made this agreement to move in together in San Francisco...

Yeah, because who hasn't done that before? We'll fix it! A baby will fix it! Yeah. [laughs]

Amanda Waller was the architect of a lot of this grief – and now suddenly she's gone missing. What can you say about that?

Amanda Waller was on the fast track to finding herself a one way ticket to Belle Reve with no sign of getting out. Dreamer had left her in her cell with all her memories of metahumans, the superhero community, who Batman is, where the Bat Cave is, what Cyborg's real name is, all of this information now locked away behind a dream wall. She knows it, but she can't get at any of it. But of course, having such a giant chess piece taken off the table in the DC universe obviously doesn't fly with everybody. Somebody has to go and try to retrieve those memories, because that is a cash cow, if ever there was one...

Waller was really at the heart of Absolute Power, and she looms over this issue. What makes her such a powerful character?

I love Amanda Waller. I am so interested in characters that are like, "I do bad things for the right reasons." I think, perhaps more than anyone else, she just so embodies, "If you can't beat them, join them." She's a Black woman from a low income community who lost half her family to gun violence and and sexual violence and revenge, and in her quest to regain control of her situation she's [become] deeply ingrained in this comic book villain persona. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and I think she knows that, but you can't stop a runaway train, and there's no option but to double down now.

For Secret Six I really wanted to make sure that we had a story that was looking at the immediate aftermath of a big comic book event. I feel like it's always, "Okay, here's Absolute Power, Lazarus Planet, Beast World, Knight Terrors..." But what happens after the big summer event? People were hurt, and there has to be some kind of political and emotional fallout from all of this, because some big shit happened. Gamorra was overthrown again, and then was the site of another would be dictator's theatrical fall. A president was assassinated so now what? We just move on?

That's where Jay is at. He's like, "I see everyone around me itching to get back to normal, but I don't have that option. So what am I supposed to do?" And with Jon, he's watching his boyfriend and his friend kind of gas each other up into this revenge spiral. He's like, "Hey, hey, hey, we're still the good guys, right?"

And that's were joining the Secret Six comes in. What can you say about the rest of the line-up?

We picked these characters because we wanted to make sure at least half the team was, you know, classic Secret Six members – I get there's a little bit of, "What the f*** is Superman doing there?!" I wanted to take this specific position that these three characters find themselves in, where they've been the good guys, and now they're kind of at the start of this potential villain origin story. And then we also have Catman, Deadshot, and Black Alice, who have all historically tried to be good, but they're just so good at being bad. They're also kind of in a situation where they're like, when the world decides you're the bad guy, Mama, you're the bad guy. There's not a whole lot you can do to shake that label.

It's easy for Jon. He's got a big Superman emblem on his chest, so he will always default to being the good guy, at least in other people's eyes. Jay and Nia are new on the scene – they don't get that option. We've seen Green Arrow being welcomed back with open arms into the Justice Society. Dreamer? You think she got one of those cute little Justice League cards? Noooo!

She literally died as well!

She literally died! That's the other thing, Dreamer's like, "Guess I'm immortal, so now I have to keep dealing with this. I have to keep trying to do good, even though everything I touch seems to turn to ash and I just cannot, for the life of me, make a good decision." I was talking with some of the editors and I was telling them something I'd seen on Bluesky was that some of the some of the kids have dubbed her the ultimate girl failure, which I think is so fitting and so fantastic. I'm happy that we finally have someone to really firmly stand in that niche at DC. We have plenty of girl bosses. We have Diana Prince and we have Lois Lane. What about the girl failures?

Obviously you've built a really strong connection with Nia over the last few years, both on TV and in comics...

Some would say unhealthy.

What's it like for you as a writer getting to really own and steer this character?

I love it. I'm always asked, do I want to write other characters? And I'm like, of course, but this is what I want to be doing now. I do have such a deep connection with her, and I think she's so freaking cool. I do have a five year plan, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm so blessed to be in a position where DC keeps saying yes to me and I've been so lucky that they have allowed me to continue this and to learn on the job. It truly is the ultimate honor to get to shepherd this character from the show into comics and have her be a part of these big events.

And, you know, not to be "woke" [laughs], but to have one of these major characters – especially right now in the political climate – be a trans woman and have it not be the center of her story, while also recognizing that this is a part of her life... In the first couple of pages of Secret Six #1 we see her having this vision of her bottom surgery, which I don't know if we've done that in comics yet. I think to be able to have those bits of representation and those little nods to another part of who she is as we're being told "it doesn't exist, there's only two genders," – I think it is fantastic to be able to continue having this visibility in comics.

Also, to have her flanked by the bisexual Superman with his gay boyfriend, and then with Black Alice, whatever the f*** she is – you try to give her a label and she'd turn you into a frog and then do something horrible to you. And then we have Catman, the resident bisexual daddy and whatever the f*** he's got going on with Deadshot... It's fun. And that is the true meaning of Secret Six!

Secret Six #1 is published by DC on March 5.

We also talked with Nicole last year about Suicide Squad: Dream Team.

The announcement came from the social media of Tatsuki Waki, an editor for Shogakukan's monthly Coro Coro Comic magazine (translation courtesy of Siliconera), who states that this will be the first manga reader released for the Nintendo Switch in Japan.

Here's the original post:

Included in the post is an image of the manga Unmei no Makimodo Shi - All Great Achievements Require Time, by Fūta Kimura, which is published in Coro Coro Comic. This shows that the app is used by orienting the Switch vertically, rather than its usual horizontal position.

Those are just about all the details available right now, including how much of Shogakukan's catalog of manga will be available, or what the app's digital release schedule will be.

That said, it's possible that the new Switch app will take its cues from Shogakukan's recently launched Novelous app for iOS and Android, released on January 23, which uses AI-translation tools for English releases.

Like we said though, we don't know if or when the Shogakukan's Switch app will launch in the US, so it may be some time before American readers will need to worry about how the stories are translated to English.

The Shokugan Switch app is scheduled to go live in Japan on March 13.

Here's our guide to everything we know about the Nintendo Switch 2.

We have an exclusive preview of the new issue, from the team of writer Justina Ireland, penciller and inker Andrea Broccardo, inker Scott Hanna, and colorist Hanna Marcio Menyz. In the preview Cyclops, Magik, Kid Omega, Temper, and Psylocke all arrive on the scene, along with Juggernaut, who is keen to bring the pain to the deity who was responsible for his super strength in the first place. Check it out:

Marvel's official synopsis for the new issue reads: "THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES! With his patron, Cyttorak, attacking the world, Juggernaut won't just sit aside. But he's not a solo act... THE X-MEN GET INVOLVED TO HELP SPIDER-MAN SAVE THE WORLD!"

The current run of Amazing Spider-Man is rapidly approaching its conclusion with a new #1 launching in April. Joe Kelly will remain in place as the series' main writer, and will be joined by the legendary artist John Romita Jr. Marvel has also already teased the arrival of a major new big bad named Hellgate.

Amazing Spider-Man #67 is published by Marvel Comics on February 12.

OK, so that was a bit dramatic - but so is the history of Galactus, one of Marvel's most distinctive and destructive villains, who will make it to the big screen in something close to his pure, unadulterated comic book form in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Played by Ralph Ineson, Galactus is seen just barely in the recently released first trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which shows the back of his giant, unmistakably weird helmet, along with his massive shadow being cast over New York City.

For lifelong Marvel fans, especially fans of the Fantastic Four, this moment is a long time coming. The last time Galactus was portrayed on film, in 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, he was kinda just a big cloud in space, with a hint of the shape of his aforementioned helmet thrown in.

Needless to say, for a character who is classically shown in comics as a giant guy in purple armor, the space-cloud version was a huge disappointment. So seeing Jack Kirby's brilliantly bizarre design rendered onscreen - even just in the hints we've gotten - is a huge thrill.

What will also be a thrill is seeing how The Fantastic Four: First Steps adapts the classic Galactus Trilogy, told in 1966's Fantastic Four #48-50 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, who created the character for the story.

That groundbreaking arc was one of Marvel's first three-part sequential comic tales, paving the way for the current superhero comic style of having issues that function more like TV episodes, with a story that continues issue-to-issue instead of simple done-in-one adventures that share little connective tissue beyond the hero's involvement.

And of course, there's the excitement of discovering just how Galactus' only-in-comics mega sci-fi backstory could influence the plot of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as well as potentially the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, as Galactus' comic history goes all the way back to the birth of the Marvel Universe at the dawn of time - and technically, even further back than that.

Galactus in Marvel Comics

In the fictional reality of the Marvel Universe, the current timeline is not the first iteration of the universe. In fact, it's not even the second, third, or fourth - it's actually the seventh time the entirety of universal history, from the Big Bang to the heat-death of the universe, has played out in full.

In each of those previous realities, whole civilizations rose and fell, galactic empires stretched across the cosmos, and heroes and villains did battle in epic sagas - just like in the Marvel Universe we know. But each of those previous iterations also inevitably collapsed, leaving little if any trace of their existence to all but the most eldritch cosmic beings, whose power transcends time and space.

This is where Galactus, known in his previous life as Galan of the planet Taa, enters the picture. Facing the end of his reality in the dying embers of the Sixth Cosmos, Galan finds himself the last surviving being in his entire universe. This brings him into contact with the being known as the Sentience of the Sixth Cosmos, who bonds with Galan, bringing him forward into the newly birthing Seventh Cosmos (the current Marvel timeline) as the cosmically powerful Galactus.

Throughout the entirety of the current Seventh Cosmos, Galactus has served as a universal constant, a being of pure entropy who, while neither actually good nor evil, serves as a fulcrum of destruction for the universe's delicate balancing act of birth, death, and rebirth.

In other words, he eats entire planets, draining them of their lifeforce and extinguishing all living things on them - not because he's evil and wishes ill on these worlds, but because he is cursed with an unending cosmic hunger that must be fed in order for the universe to function properly.

It's that last bit that has made him such a difficult foe for the Fantastic Four and for the Marvel Universe at large. No one wants their own planet to be eaten by Galactus, but Galactus must eat for reality to maintain its balance. Galactus' hunger is so integral to the function of reality that Reed Richards once had to actually defend Galactus' continued existence in order to preserve the cosmos.

This is also where the Silver Surfer comes in, serving as the herald of Galactus, seeking out suitable worlds for his master to devour. That's how Galactus winds up on Earth, and also how he winds up being deterred with the help of his one-time herald - though he returns to Earth time and time again, and is repelled each time.

It's comic book science of the highest order, but it's also an interesting idea that stems from the original conception of Galactus by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee as an enemy of the Fantastic Four who is, functionally, a deity of omnipotent power. This is also why, in the lore of Marvel Comics, Galactus isn't technically actually a giant humanoid. He has no true form, appearing as a reflection of the people he encounters on each planet he visits.

Galactus in the MCU

It's tough to say exactly how Galactus will fit into The Fantastic Four: First Steps beyond his obvious role as a threat for the team to face, in what seems to be shaping up to be a fairly faithful adaptation of the classic Galactus Trilogy.

But the key factor that could complicate the relatively straightforward idea of the FF repelling Galactus from eating the Earth as a plot point is that The Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in a separate reality from the core Marvel Universe, away from the Avengers and their allies.

Given the conceit that Galactus is the sole survivor of a previous universe, who is one of if not the only being who truly remembers what the previous iteration of reality was like, and the likelihood that the FF will wind up in the core MCU reality, it seems quite possible that the FF's encounter with Galactus will lead to their traveling to the core MCU to crossover with the Avengers in Avengers: Doomsday, and could even have something to do with the likely plot of Avengers: Secret Wars which is based on a comic story in which all of reality is destroyed, with only bits and pieces of a few worlds left over.

All of that seems to dovetail quite nicely with Galactus' inclusion in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And of course there's also the matter of HERBIE, the FF's robot pal who, in comics, has direct ties to Galactus, something that could also come into play in the film.

Fantastic Four arrives in theaters on July 25. While we wait, check out our guides to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows on the way and our breakdown of how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

The threat of William Pureford – or Wil, as he prefers to be called – was introduced at the end of last October's Batman #153, when this mysterious antagonist pursued legal action against Wayne in the hope of gaining "legitimacy" as the heir to his fortune. This is not the first time that Batman comics have flirted with the idea of Bruce having a secret sibling, of course, but 'The Dying City' arc committed to it by quickly revealing that Thomas Wayne really did embark on a brief affair with Pureford's mother, many years ago. But does that make Wil his son?

Spoilers for Batman #157

Let's cut to the chase: No, Wil is not Bruce Wayne’s brother. A DNA test is taken and it's quickly established that the two are not related.

What's perhaps more interesting, however, is Wil's reason for dropping the case against Bruce – which he does before the results of the DNA test come in. In a quiet scene between the two men towards the end of the issue, he reveals what this has all been about.

Wil was persuaded into filing the case against Bruce and decided to go along with it largely to make a point and to scare him. He has grown up knowing that the two might be related while also hearing about Bruce’s tiresome celebrity exploits. He's grown frustrated at how he has seemingly frittered away his wealth instead of using it to help people (Wil, for his part, is a doctor – and of course doesn't know that Bruce is secretly using his money to fund his career as Batman). The goal with all of this was to remind his "brother" that his wealth could fall away at any moment. "You should always feel in danger of losing it," he says in the issue's most pointed line of dialogue. "That's how the rest of the world feels, paycheck to paycheck."

The two part on reasonably good terms. Wil doesn't want any of Bruce's fortune or even to know if they are related or not. He's happy in his own life and just wants things to get back to normal. He does, however, use it as an opportunity to give Bruce a (slightly unnecessary) pep talk about using his life to help others. It's a noble sentiment, though it does slightly make you want to grab Wil, give him a good shake, and shout, "He's bloody Batman! He's done a lot more to help than you, mate."

Elsewhere in the issue, Zdarksy and artists Jorge Jiménez and Tony S. Daniel wrapped up the run with an all-action finale. Batman shot the wings off the airliner that Leonid Kull was fleeing in and miraculously managed to land it in Gotham without killing anybody. He then grappled with and defeated Commander Star – AKA the KGBeast. Meanwhile, Jim Gordon beat up the Riddler, leading to Edward Nygma’s latest arrest.

Speaking of Jim, he's planning to return to the force, even if that means working under Vandal Savage. In a classic Batman and Gordon moody rooftop meet-up, he admits to still feeling intense guilty over his affair with Koyuki and his part (even if mind-controlled) in Nakano’s death. Bruce sums up the big theme of this final arc and what he has learned through Wil, that people are flawed and that the best anyone can ever try to be is a decent human being. And with that he takes to the air ready for his next adventure and the return of Hush…

Batman #157 is out now from DC.

The original Hush is one of the best Batman comics of all time.

And along with the new Ultimate Luke Cage, we're also introduced to the new Ultimate Danny Rand - and there's a big update on the fate of Tony Stark/Iron Lad.

Spoilers ahead for Ultimates #9

Ultimates #9 follows Carl Lucas 'Luke' Cage, a long-time prisoner of a corrupt for-profit prison system run by the Maker's agents, who is chronically beaten by the guards for his resistance to prison policies.

Cage is beaten so often and so severely that, despite his muscular, well-honed physique, he's also covered in scars and spends so much time in the infirmary that other inmates speculate that every bone in his body has been broken at least once.

But then, one night, one of Iron Lad's spheres appears before Luke Cage, offering him the powers of super-strength and unbreakable skin that he was always meant to have, had the Maker not prevented him becoming empowered.

And, as it turns out, Luke Cage actually takes to his powers quite well, unlike the dozens of other subjects who apparently died, were injured, or walked away from their potential powers. Much like the new Ultimate Spider-Man, he embraces both his abilities and his role as a hero.

Since becoming empowered, Luke Cage has begun leading prison breaks across the entirety of the for-profit system that once held him, infiltrating the prisons and breaking all of those unjustly held in them out of confinement.

Along the way, he meets his right hand man and fellow former prisoner Danny Rand, though he's not the Iron Fist as that mantle is actually held by the Ultimate Hulk, one of the Maker's generals, who nearly killed Tony Stark/Iron Lad by crushing him in his armor.

Since that fight, Tony has been unconscious in a life-support chamber, barely clinging to life. However, in Ultimates #9, we get our first glimmer of hope that he might actually wind up being OK.

As She-Hulk speaks to him, begging him to wake up and help defeat the Maker, Tony's eyes pop open, indicating that he's woken up and may be ready to rejoin the fight sooner rather than later.

We'll find out more when Ultimates #10 releases on March 5, which will introduce the new Ultimate Namor and Ultimate Red Skull.

Check out the best Marvel Comics stories of all time.

To explain the historic hate in a nutshell, HERBIE could be considered something like the Jar Jar Binks of the Marvel Universe - an oddball comedy character who wrecked up what could have been a perfectly serious story just by his very presence in it. A short-hand symbol of all the things that have ever gone wrong with a certain piece of beloved media.

HERBIE, like DC's Harley Quinn, was actually created outside of comics for an animated series. In the robot's case, that's 1978's short-lived show The New Fantastic Four.

Created by semi-obscure animation studio DePatie–Freleng Enterprises (also known as DFE Films), who are perhaps best known for creating animated special effects for films including Star Wars and credits sequences for the Pink Panther movies, The New Fantastic Four was intended to be an extension of Hanna-Barbera's earlier Fantastic Four cartoon (hence the "New" in the title) but due to complex contractual reasons, the new show was instead created by DFE.

However, DFE's executives became concerned that seeing Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, who was depicted as an older teen at the time, bursting into flames might give kids the idea to light themselves on fire. The studio set about to come up with a new character who could carry the torch for Johnny Storm, without literally carrying any kind of torch whatsoever.

At least, that's the common lore. The truth may actually have more to do with a planned Human Torch TV film that was in development at some point in the '70s that likely conflicted with DFE's ability to use the character for their show.

Either way, the character DFE chose to replace Johnny was their original creation HERBIE, a robotic little ding-dong whose powers seemed to be producing whatever deus ex machina device a given episode might need for its resolution, and annoying the living crap out of Fantastic Four fans who just wanted to see one of the founding members of the team and not a flying dumpling with the personality of your most obnoxious nephew.

Nonetheless, HERBIE, whose name stands for "Highly Engineered Robot Built for Interdimensional Exploration," was quickly brought into comics by creators Marv Wolfman and John Byrne, and has remained a staple of the FF's larger mythos ever since - even as the loathing felt by Fantastic Four fans who were, pun kind of intended, burned by The New Fantastic Four animated series remained simmering in the background in the form of endless jokes and digs at the lil guy's expense.

Perhaps that persistence is why, like Jar Jar Binks, whose haters often misunderstand the care and craft put into the role by actor Ahmed Best, HERBIE has actually become more of a beloved mascot for now jaded fans who long for hints of the youth we lost despising an animated robot.

Anathema has turned to enough affection to even warrant including the character in Fantastic Four: The First Steps, where his trailer scene with Ben Grimm has already become one of the most heartwarming moments we've seen of the MCU's FF yet. And he's also a part of smash-hit game Marvel Rivals where he guides the Fantasticar through a ruined version of Midtown New York City.

There's also a little tidbit of lore lurking in HERBIE's comic book origins, where he is built not just by Reed Richards, but by Mister Fantastic and the Xandarians - as in the people who founded the Nova Corps in both comics and the MCU - in order to attempt to track Galactus.

And as we well know, Galactus will be a big part (again, pun sort of intended) of Fantastic Four: The First Steps, so perhaps there will be a connection to Xandar in play as well. Maybe it'll be an early target of Galactus in the film. After all, it was all but destroyed by Thanos in the mainstream MCU.

Whatever happens, HERBIE will be there to lighten the mood, and, hopefully, fully shed his hated past to solidify the character as a beloved part of the Fantastic Four and the Marvel Universe at large.

While it's just shy of having actually been confirmed, leaving a sliver of daylight for a big surprise on Marvel's part, it seems a lot like the mystery role played by John Malkovich, who is glimpsed just briefly in the trailer, is very likely the super-powered cosmonaut Ivan Kragoff.

Now, for most MCU fans, there's a solid chance you're scratching your heads and saying "Who the heck is Ivan Kragoff?" But me, insufferable Marvel know-it-all that I am, I'm jumping for joy, as the delightfully strange Kragoff was my top choice for who Malkovich could be playing way back when his casting was reported, because of the potential twist that may come with Red Ghost's inclusion in the film.

Created all the way back in 1963's Fantastic Four #13 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Kragoff is actually one of four cosmonauts embroiled in the Space Race of the '60s who gained super powers after exposure to Cosmic Rays, just like their American counterparts Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm.

But that's not the twist.

The twist is, the other three cosmonauts who gained powers alongside Kragoff are actually great apes, collectively known as the Super-Apes. Yes, that's right - the original comic book concept of an anti-FF was a weird old ghost man and his three monkey pals.

In terms of the Super-Apes, there's Mikhlo the gorilla who gains the powers of super-strength and toughness, Igor the baboon who gains the ability to shapeshift, and of course Peotr the orangutan who gains the power of simple telekinesis.

Though the Super-Apes have often clashed with Kragoff over his cruel treatment of them, even once forming a special bond with the Invisible Woman while hiding out on the moon, they almost always appear together as a foursome.

You can see why I'm excited. There's no more hilariously, loveably absurd trope in comics than the idea of super-intelligent apes with super powers, and we may be one step closer to actually seeing the Super-Apes come to life in the MCU, as ridiculous as that may sound.

Yes, it may be far-fetched. But it's not impossible, and that's what the Fantastic Four are all about - breaking the boundaries of possibility. Such as giving an old goofball nerd hope that I may indeed get to see the Super-Apes realized onscreen.

Oh yeah, and Red Ghost of course. Malkovich is the perfect casting to play a mad scientist cosmonaut who has glimpsed sights beyond what the human mind can bear, and who hangs around with three apes on the moon.

I can dream, right? We'll likely find out more about whether Malkovich is actually playing Ivan Kragoff or not in the months leading up to the July release of Fantastic Four: The First Steps, and in the meantime, I'll be dreaming of Super-Apes.

Fantastic Four arrives in theaters on July 25. While we wait, check out our guides to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows on the way and our breakdown of how to watch the Marvel movies in order.

In his intro (revealed in full by Collider) Cox admits to having had an "almost total lack of knowledge about the wonderful universe of Marvel" before he was cast in the role, stating "I'd never actually read a comic book, and so great was my ignorance of the character that in my first audition I neglected to portray him as blind – thinking 'Daredevil' was simply the noun used to describe a skydiver or mountaineer." That changed, however, when he was granted a Marvel Unlimited subscription and a reading list of titles to help him get up to speed before filming the first series of the Netflix show.

Cox went on to list some of the comics he'd read while in training for the original Netflix series. "I made my way through countless Daredevil issues, hooked from the very beginning. I began with everything Frank Miller, then jumped back to the character's inception with Stan Lee and Bill Everett. I am loathe to single any out – but along with Born Again and Man Without Fear, I loved Daredevil: Yellow, Guardian Devil, End of Days and, of course, the spellbinding run in the early 2000s from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev."

Cox's whole intro is worth a read and reveals Cox's thoughts on the original arc and how it impacts Daredevil. "By stripping Matt Murdock of everything in Born Again, we are given a glimpse into our hero reduced to his bare bones. Mirrored thousands of miles away by his greatest love, Karen Page, they literally struggle to take one step at a time. In these spine-tingling early pages, Mazzucchelli's emaciated Matt is regularly found curled up in the fetal position juxtaposed with the towering, rounded Wilson Fisk. The image created in our minds is every bit as imposing as Miller's depiction of the sinister strings that are pulled to unravel Matt's life. This combination of the Visual Monster and the evil that cannot be seen is as chilling and claustrophobic as it gets!"

10. The Hero That Was

Published in: Captain America #109

The true heroism of Cap comes, as everyone who's seen his movies knows, from who Steve Rogers was before he got buff, and there are few better comic book examples of this than Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's retelling of the character's origin in Captain America #109.

Lee's melodramatic, sincere dialogue perfectly matches Kirby's bombastic, dynamic art in this pretty perfect take on a familiar story.

9. No Longer Alone! / Tomorrow You Live, Tonight I Die / The Strange Death of Captain America

Published in: Captain America #110-#113

In many ways, Jim Steranko was an unexpected choice to follow Kirby on the Captain America title – his work seemed more modern, less macho, than the King's.

But the three issues he created with Stan Lee are pop art classics that seem as dazzling and contemporary now as they did when they first appeared more than three decades ago, bringing a new sense of cool to the Captain and upending the character's status quo by not only killing off Steve Rogers but turning the character into a super spy as much as a superhero.

8. The Secret Empire

Published in: Captain America and the Falcon #169-176

A lot of what would become familiar Cap tropes were introduced during writer Steve Englehart's classic '70s 'Secret Empire' story, including the idea of multiple Caps, the notion that Steve Rogers could (and would) abandon his costumed identity in order to find himself, and just the possibility of using Captain America as a way of exploring where America is at as a country and a culture in general.

Amazingly innovative, consistently entertaining and exciting, and sadly underrated, Englehart's Captain America may be up there with Ed Brubaker's for the best portrayal of the character ever.

7. Castaway in Dimension Z

Published in: Captain America Vol. 6 #1-10

Captain America stories that alter Steve Rogers' status quo have been par for the course for decades, but 'Castaway in Dimension Z' took him somewhere he'd never been before – literally.

After thwarting an attempt to conquer the world by his old enemy Arnim Zola, Steve was transported to an artificial world of Zola's making where he raised one of Zola's clones as a son for years before finally being rescued.

The emotional impact of Steve as a kind of fantasy hero – a man out of world as well as time – packed an emotional resonance that took him in a brand new direction, and showed readers exactly what kind of father he would be given the chance.

The gut-wrenching twist on Steve's rescue didn't hurt, either.

6. Madbomb

Published in: Captain America #193-200

When Jack Kirby returned to Captain America in the '70s, he set out to make over his character by turning everything up to 11: the speed of the stories, the action, and the scale.

Suddenly, Cap and the Falcon got their missions directly from the President, and the future of the country was almost always at stake, even if their missions took them outside America (and they did). Kirby was playing with the idea of what a superhero comic could be, and if it seemed goofy at the time – and many thought that it did – it seems revolutionary now, throwing out ideas that the medium is still trying to catch up with.

Although his run lost some energy by its end, the first arc, titled 'The Madbomb', in which an experimental device threatens to drive the entire country insane unless Cap and Falcon can stop it, is non-stop energy.

5. Captain America No More

Published in: Captain America #332

The highlight of Mark Gruenwald's lengthy run on the title, 'Captain America No More' may have repeated certain ideas from earlier runs (like in Englehart's run, Cap quit and adopted a new identity, and also had a showdown in the White House).

But there's more than enough here to make it a worthwhile return trip: The Serpent Society! Nomad! Diamondback! D-Man! And, maybe most interestingly of all, the introduction of U.S. Agent, who finds that stepping into the shoes of a living legend is much harder than he could've anticipated.

4. Man Out of Time

Published in: Captain America: Man Out of Time #1-5 & Avengers #4

One of two Mark Waid stories on this countdown, 'Man Out of Time' which updates and expands a core piece of the character that is often overlooked: the culture shock Steve Rogers must have felt after waking up in the modern world after disappearing during World War II.

Waid's writing is sensitive and intelligent and fills in a lot of blanks about Rogers' re-emergence that manage to make the character more human, and more easily identified with as a result. That Jorge Molina's art is pretty great doesn't hurt, either.

Buy: Amazon

3. Operation Rebirth

Published in: Captain America #444-448 and #450-454

When Mark Waid took over the reins of the Star-Spangled Avenger following Gruenwald's departure, Cap was in a sorry state, having suffered through attempts to update him and bring him in line with the gritted teeth and armored shoulder pads of the Image Comics-obsessed '90s.

Waid and Ron Garney quickly took the character back to basics in 'Operation: Rebirth', in the process rediscovering what made him so unique amongst the Marvel heroes and reminding readers that Steve Rogers was so much more than the costume and shield.

2. The Death of Captain America

Published in: Captain America Vol. 5 #25-42

What started with a plot development that no one saw coming very swiftly turned into Ed Brubaker's highpoint of a near-decade run, defining the importance of Steve Rogers by his absence and the influence he'd had, and inspiration he'd been, on those around him.

And in amongst all of this, there was also a story about an increasingly divided America and the ways in which those divisions could be exploited by old enemies that felt closer to contemporary reality than anything the title had seen in decades. Never mind Civil War; 'The Death of Captain America' was the Marvel story that really had something to say about the world we live in nowadays.

Buy: Amazon

1. The Winter Soldier

Published in: Captain America Vol. 5 #1-9 & #11-14

Ed Brubaker's Winter Soldier saga really consisted of an extended narrative drawn out over several story arcs, but it remains the definitive modern Captain America tale. Winter Soldier reintroduced Steve Rogers’s long-lost partner Bucky as a brainwashed Soviet super-assassin, calling into question almost everything Steve took for granted about his own life and reintroducing Bucky Barnes to the Marvel Universe. Winter Soldier defined the modern Captain America – both in terms of his character, the stories told with him. The shocking twist, the deep political intrigue, and rich supporting cast all made Captain America a must-read title for the first time in years.

There's also the little matter of Bucky's ascent to being a fan-favorite character – something that would have seemed sacrilegious and impossible without the level of storytelling involved. The Winter Soldier paved the way for Cap's big-screen renaissance with blockbuster movies Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Civil War and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier streaming show, which featured Bucky as a co-lead.

Though we don't know exactly how the Future Foundation fits into the new Fantastic Four movie, in comics, the name represents the evolution of the Fantastic Four from a small team of family members to a bigger organization with numerous members, including Spider-Man and Doctor Doom.

The Future Foundation debuted in comics back in 2010's Fantastic Four #576 by writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Neil Edwards. Founded in the wake of the death of Johnny Storm/the Human Torch (who, like many comic characters, eventually got better), the Future Foundation is more than just a superhero team, it's also a school for young super scientists.

Anchored by classic Fantastic Four members Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm Richards/Invisible Woman, and Ben Grimm/the Thing, the Future Foundation also includes Peter Parker/Spider-Man as the fourth core member of the team, who joins per the explicit wishes of his deceased best friend Johnny Storm.

But the additions don't stop there. Along with Spidey, who has been a close ally of the Fantastic Four since the earliest days of the Marvel Universe, the Future Foundation brings in none other than Doctor Doom, who, at the time, had been drained of his massive intellect.

In terms of the school part of the Future Foundation, Franklin and Valeria Richards (children of Reed and Sue Richards, naturally) are included, along with Alex Power of the Power Pack, Bentley-23 (a child clone of the Fantastic Four's old enemy the Wizard), and even children from other cultures and other worlds, like Wakanda, Atlantis, and more. And of course there's also fan favorite mutant duo Artie and Leech, as well as caretaker Dragon Man – a 10-foot-tall android dragon.

Even after the return of the Human Torch and the restoration of the Fantastic Four, the Future Foundation has remained a part of the team's mythos. For a short time, members of the Future Foundation including Scott Lang/Ant-Man, She-Hulk, Medusa of the Inhumans, and Ms. Thing (a pop star who wears a mechanical suit that gives her the appearance and powers of the Thing) filled in for the Fantastic Four while they were displaced in time and space.

And, in the aftermath of 2015's Secret Wars, the Foundation remained with the Fantastic Four in the Multiverse, helping rebuild the many lost realities that were destroyed as part of the event story, returning to the mainstream reality in 2020.

In the current Fantastic Four comic, the extended Richards/Grimm family are traveling around the country while also dealing with Doctor Doom having conquered the world as the Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel's ongoing 'One World Under Doom' status quo. So the Future Foundation is inactive. But, with the MCU Fantastic Four reboot movie embracing the concept, it's very likely that the Future Foundation will return in comics sooner rather than later.

Fantastic Four hits theaters on July 25. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows for everything else the MCU has in store, or see our guide to watching the Marvel movies in order for a marathon.

"Momo is like Superman. Superman helps people with his superhuman powers, but I don't think that's the core of who he is," the creator explained in the interview. "In the face of violence or injustice, ordinary people often look away. But Superman's presence inspires people, giving them the courage to stand up against such evil. In the same way, Momo's actions and words inspire those around her, motivating them to rise up, just like Superman."

In the interview Tatsu also admitted that Momo is his favorite character in the series, saying. "If I ever feel that I haven't drawn her as cute as I want her to be, I'll redo the drawing over and over again, and it can really hold up progress on the final draft." He also discussed some of the folkloric elements that helped inspire the series.

The Dandadan manga revealed last week that it would be taking a surprise one month break. This is not uncommon in manga and the new chapter of the series is already set to return on February 24. Meanwhile, if you're eager for more information on the next run of the hit anime series, you can find out everything we know about Dan Da Dan season 2 right here.

"The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream's story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season. We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics' loyal readers as well as fans of our show."

Netflix's statement notably makes no mention of the elephant in the room: a series of allegations accusing Sandman creator Neil Gaiman, who wrote the original 80-issue comic that the streaming series is based on, of assault and abuse. Multiple other projects based on Gaiman's work have also been canceled in recent weeks.

That said, Netflix has a habit of ending even its most popular shows after only two or three seasons, so there's still a solid chance that The Sandman would have ended sooner than fans of the show and its revered comic book source material may have wanted under better circumstances.

Prior to all of this, the cast and crew of Netflix's adaptation of The Sandman previously pulled off the seemingly impossible by delivering on many of the comic's best and most memorable moments, and most importantly capturing the ephemeral, literary spirit of the comic. The second season is still set to premiere on Netflix some time later this year.

That film, one of the MCU's earliest entries, has been largely left behind. But the return of Samuel Sterns as the Leader finally makes good on a cliffhanger that's been bedeviling audiences for 16 years.

And while we don't know much about exactly how the Leader fits into the film just yet, aside from his obvious role as a villain, the character's comic book history is a matter of record that goes all the way back to the Silver Age of the '60s and the early days of the Marvel Universe.

Who is the Leader?

First appearing in 1964's Tales to Astonish #62 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the Leader started life as mild-mannered Samuel Sterns, an overnight custodian in a chemical plant, who was of average intelligence and little motivation – until an accidental exposure to Gamma radiation changed his ordinary body and mind into something much, much more.

Like Bruce Banner before him, Sterns was transformed by the Gamma radiation, though where Banner's great intellect transformed into the Hulk's brute strength, Stern's mind was elevated to a point of supreme, insatiable intelligence. His body transformed along with his mind, taking on the familiar green hue of Gamma radiation, while his cranium grew to an enormous size to accommodate his now-massive brain.

Calling himself "the Leader," Sterns created a ring of spies and secret agents all dedicated to taking over the world and installing him as, well, The Leader. Sterns' Gamma-powered nature meant that he and Bruce Banner quickly gained each others' attention – and the pair's inherent Brains vs. Brawn nature quickly drew them into a decades-long arch-rivalry that continues to this day.

Over the years, the Leader and Hulk have clashed countless times, with the Leader often changing and evolving his Gamma-powered form, like Bruce Banner. At one point, after helping create the Red Hulk, Sterns even took the form of the Red Leader.

More recently, Sterns launched his most diabolical plan to destroy the Hulk yet, unlocking the metaphysical power of Gamma radiation and mastering control of life and death itself in the title The Immortal Hulk.

The Leader in the MCU

Though the Leader hasn't technically made his MCU debut just yet, Samuel Sterns definitely has. Tim Blake Nelson first appeared as a scientist working to help find a cure for Bruce Banner's Hulk transformation in 2008's The Incredible Hulk. Sterns makes a Gamma infusion based on Banner's blood that gives its subjects unstable Gamma powers – which he eventually uses to turn Emil Blonsky into the Abomination.

In the aftermath of Blonsky's transformation, some of the Gamma-irradiated blood seeps into a gash on Sterns' forehead, causing the start of an apparent transformation into the Leader for just a couple of frames … but he hasn't been seen since, with the film never receiving a sequel.

Still, the Hulk has definitely been present in the MCU since his one solo film in the shared universe, and his mythos has expanded with the Disney Plus streaming series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which even featured the return of The Incredible Hulk's Abomination, played once again by Tim Roth.

There were even some potential hints in that show that the Leader could appear or be behind some of She-Hulk's mysteries, but that connection never materialized, and it was announced a short time later that the Leader's return was indeed happening, but in Captain America: Brave New World.

This makes a bit of sense, considering President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (played in Brave New World by Harrison Ford) will be transforming into the Red Hulk in the film. In comics, the Leader is partially responsible for Ross becoming the Red Hulk, working alongside MODOK and other villains to engineer his transformation.

Now, we're waiting to see exactly how Sterns' transformation into the Leader will look, but we've at least had a few sparingly obscure glimpses of what's to come. The suspense seems to be working, as the obfuscation of Sterns' mutated appearance seems to be building a new buzz around the villain.

We'll have to wait and see what he looks like, and how he fits into Captain America: Brave New World when the film releases on February 14.

"Amazing Comics has been living in my creative journal since 2005 – I always knew it was in my future," Quesada said in a statement released to time with the Angoulême International Comics Festival. "Having the opportunity to help rebuild Marvel and later become part of the Disney family was one of the greatest highlights of my career. It allowed me to play in almost every creative sandbox imaginable and collaborate with some of the most brilliant talents on the planet. Now, I get to take everything I've learned over two-plus decades at Marvel and pour it into Amazing Comics, bringing many of those incredible creators along with me. Our mission is simple: to tell great stories with stunning art and to build a true community between Amazing and our readers."

Here's the full list of creators that have been announced so far:

• Derek Kolstad: The creator and writer of John Wick and Nobody 
• J. Michael Straczynski: Long-running Marvel comics writer, as well as the creator of Babylon 5, and the co-writer of the TV series Sense8
• Christopher Priest: Legendary and influential writer of Black Panther and Deadpool comics for Marvel
• Garth Ennis: The writer and co-creator of The Boys and Preacher
• Steven Paul Judd: A writer on Dark Winds and the MCU's Echo TV show
• Ethan Sacks: Writer of Star Wars comics at Marvel, and the co-writer of A Haunted Girl at Image

Although the titles these creators are working on remain secret for now, we do know that the first book we'll see from Amazing Comics is the previously-announced Disciple, which will be co-written by Quesada and Dorfman, and illustrated by Quesada and inker Wade von Grawbadger, alongside colorist Richard Isanove, and letterer Joe Caramagna.

"I'm beyond excited about Disciple – not just because it's my return to self-publishing but because I get to team up with Charles on something truly special," said Quesada. "Inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, Disciple isn't just a retelling – it's a full-on expansion, building a world around the original story that's packed with history, intrigue, and all the drama you'd expect, but with some wicked surprises along the way. We're keeping all the classic Shakespearean names, but make no mistake – this story is going to take some wild, unexpected turns that'll have readers hooked and guessing every step of the way!"

"Wait, Bandes Desinée meets North American comics meets Joe Quesada?!," said Mad Cave Studios president Mark Irwin in a statement. "I can't wait, and I bet it's truly Amazing!"

Joe Quesada had his hand in some of the best Marvel Comics stories of all time.

Spooky Pictures is the US horror production company run by Steven Schneider and Roy Lee. It found considerable success with indie horror Late Night with the Devil in 2023 and critical acclaim for Strange Darling last year.

"There's no shortage of serial killer stories in the marketplace. The challenge is finding one that is both terrifying and goes to places we haven't seen before. Dungeon is it," said Schneider in a statement. "We were instantly gripped, and couldn't put it down. And even as longtime fans and producers in the genre, we found ourselves haunted by what we read. This is our Silence of the Lambs and Seven, and we can't wait to unleash it on audiences."

"We couldn't ask for better partners on the feature film adaptation of Dungeon," added IDW's senior vice president of film & TV, Daniel Kendrick. "Ever since this spine-chilling story entered development as a comic, IDW has loved the terrifying twists and turns. Spooky Pictures has proven they know how to make audiences scream and we're thrilled to work with them to bring this story to life."

For their part, the comic's creators sound equally excited about the new movie, with Absolute Batman writer Scott Snyder adding: "Dungeon was a book that required Hayden and I to go down some dark places. The result was something I'd honestly list as a career highlight. So I couldn't be more thrilled to see Spooky Pictures and IDW bring it to the big screen! I'm a big, big fan of what they do. I can't wait to see what comes next!"

"This book was a special one to make," said Sherman, who is currently illustrating Absolute Wonder Woman. "It allowed Scott and I to explore very foundational human fears in pursuit of a grounded claustrophobic thriller. The result is something I'm very proud of. It's a joy to see it now taken further as Spooky Pictures and IDW work to bring Dungeon to film!"

Dungeon is just one series published by a range of different creators under the Dark Spaces umbrella. The other titles in the series include Dark Spaces: Good Deeds, Dark Spaces: Wildfire, and Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special. All five issues of Dark Spaces: Dungeon are out now from IDW.

"When I drew the Marvel heroes wearing kimono, I wanted people to simply enjoy seeing the heroes wearing kimono as a fashion item," Momoko says in a statement. "I didn't want to stick to just a traditional formal image, so I tried to bring out the individuality of a super hero wearing the kimono as a very casual look. The overall design is simple, but I hope you could feel the wabi-sabi in each cover."

For those not familiar, wabi-sabi is a Japanese term for a simple, organic aesthetic that follows the natural flow of a subject.

We've got an early preview of pages from Avengers #23 by writer Jed MacKay, artist Farid Karami, color artist Federico Blee, and letterer Cory Petit showing Black Cat and Kang in action as they attempt to flee with their ill-gotten prize.

Check it out:

"ONCE A THIEF...ALWAYS A THIEF! The Avengers never should have trusted Felicia! Can they stop BLACK CAT from escaping the space casino with Kang's stolen intel?" reads Marvel's official description of Avengers #23. "To do so, they'll have to get past Black Cat's newest bodyguards...Avengers, get ready for your first clash with GATECRASHER & THE TECHNET!"

For those not aware of who Gatecrasher and Technet are, they're a group of alien mercenaries who have a long history with the old school mutant team Excalibur. More recently, they had a run-in with Rocket Raccoon. Now, it seems they'll have to face the Avengers as Black Cat attempts to sneak out of their clutches.

Writer Jed MacKay has returned to Black Cat periodically throughout his Marvel career, which has now grown to include being the ongoing writer of not just Avengers, but also the main X-Men title.

Avengers #23 goes on sale February 5.

This week's Ice Cream Man #43 moves between both these tones and more on any given page. It's a special issue which breaks from tradition by bringing onboard writers other than Prince for the first time. And what writers! Yer actual Grant Morrison! Kelly Sue DeConnick, Patton Oswalt, Matt Fraction, and more. It's a starry selection, with the contributors each delivering a horror story over the course of a single page.

That feels like a very tight constraint. Realistically, how much story can you fit into a single page? The answer to that, it turns out, is: much more than you think. Over the course of 22 individual tales, the contributors play with time, space, and format in a way that's genuinely dazzling.

Some stories can be read in the blink of an eye: Deniz Camp's dialogue-free 'Real Page Turner' and Grant Morrison's closing 'At Home With The Colonel' all do their thing in just a few panels. Others, however, force the reader to slow down and absorb every last detail. Geoff Johns' 'Lickety Split' uses a rigid 16-panel grid, ending with a methodically-paced punchline. Prince's 'Who's In Charge?' is a simple concept, but one that engages the reader in some fourth-wall-breaking fun with the book's titular host. Matt Fraction's 'Life By Misadventure' manages to tell five stories in the space of its single page before uniting them satisfactorily. There's even a full-page prose piece – a witty extrapolation of one of the original ultra-short stories: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Then there's 'For James' by Zoe Thorogood. This tale – the only one in the book also illustrated by its writer – appears to directly address the death of her brother. It's a touching and heartfelt piece, but also a devastating one. Partial proceeds from sales of the issue will go to charity on James' behalf, and the entire issue is dedicated to him. A beautiful piece of work, it reminds you just how flexible the horror genre really is.

With 22 stories here there are, of course, a couple that don't quite land. 'Horror, Cont'd' is simply a reprint of the New York Times cover declaring Trump's victory over Kamala Harris with a caption. That is a very real nightmare, I agree, but it adds little to the issue. And occasionally a story will feel like the sort of goofy idea you find on the Bad Two Sentence Horror subreddit. Still, given how brief these pieces are, you'll most likely simply chuckle and move on to the next one, which will almost certainly be a banger.

While the writers are taking the top billing this issue, we must give a big shout out to artist Martin Morazzo, colorist Chris O'Halloran, and letterer Good Old Neon (who gets his own chance to shine with 'A Taxonomy of Old-Timey Diseases'). Ice Cream Man has always been a great-looking comic, but here the team are given the opportunity to really stretch themselves across a range of different genres and tones. There's such a pure-hearted love of the medium on display here that it makes Ice Cream Man #43, despite its frequently very dark subject matter, simply a joy to read.

Ice Cream Man #43 is out now from Image Comics.

Now, in Ultimate X-Men #11, writer/artist Peach Momoko has dropped a reference that ties in directly to the video game incarnation of one of the most popular Duelist heroes in Marvel Rivals - and it's one that's also aimed at long time fans of Peach Momoko.

Spoilers ahead for Ultimate X-Men #11

Ultimate X-Men #12 by writer/artist Peach Momoko, script adaptor Zack Davisson, and letterer Travis Lanham deepens the mystery of the Children of the Atom and the newly formed X-Men's mission to free the mutants that have become victims of its cult. It also gives us the first confrontation between Kanon, the Ultimate Psylocke, and Hisako/Armor, co-founder of the X-Men.

In the midst of their brief fight, Kanon reveals that she is not just a mutant, she's the direct descendant of Sai, the psionic samurai hero of Peach Momoko's Demon Days saga who is adapted from the mainstream Marvel Universe hero Psylocke - who also just so happens to be the version of Psylocke that is in Marvel Rivals, potentially coming straight off the page to the game.

Though many of the default heroes of Marvel Rivals have flavor text and visual styling that is unique to Marvel Rivals, Sai is taken directly from writer/artist Peach Momoko's Demon Days comic, which recasts characters from the Marvel Universe into a world influenced by Japanese mythology. The connection is so direct that it's not only cited in Psylocke's in-game bio, the default Psylocke skin is taken almost whole cloth from Peach Momoko's art and design.

While most Marvel Rivals heroes have some alt-skins that tie directly into a specific era or comic, Psylocke/Sai is one of the few whose default presentation in the game is tied to a specific comic.

This has led to speculation from fans about whether the Marvel Rivals version of Psylocke is meant to be the exact same incarnation of Sai that appears in the comic - meaning not a game-specific interpretation of Sai, but the actual character, straight off the page.

While Peach Momoko's Easter egg adds some fuel to that speculation, it also raises some interesting questions about the possible comic book connections between Demon Days and Ultimate X-Men, and whether the timeline of Demon Days is merely mythology in the current Ultimate Universe as Armor suggests, or if it's actually possibly the same timeline, given Kanon says she's a direct descendent of Sai, and displays similar psionic abilities.

Whatever the case, Ultimate X-Men #11 is a treat for fans not just of Peach Momoko's ongoing Marvel canon, but also Marvel Rivals fans looking for direct connections to comics. And it does the best thing a comic can do, which is raise interest in finding out what's going to happen next in February 26's Ultimate X-Men #12.

Stay on top of all the new X-Men comics Marvel has planned for release in 2025 and beyond.

Writers Jeremy Adams and Morgan Hampton, alongside artist Fernando Pasarin, inker Oclair Albert, and colorist Arif Prianto, are charting the course of the Corps' adventures in a new ongoing series launching this February. The comic brings together different characters from across the Green Lantern mythology, including the likes of John Stewart, Jo Mullein, Guy Gardner, and many more to tackle both everyday cop problems like trafficking, and the larger threats posed by the villainous likes of the Sorrow. Newsarama caught up with Adams and Hampton to find out more about the new series and how the increasingly troubled John Stewart is doing right now...

Newsarama: Hi Jeremy and Morgan! To start us off, what can you say about where we find the members of the Green Lantern Corps at the start of this new series?

Jeremy Adams: So... what happened a while ago was that all the central power batteries for the other Emotional Spectrum colors have been destroyed, and there was one source Lantern on Oa. A big fight happened and that was destroyed, so there's only one battery left, which is the Green Lantern power battery. So the Green Lantern Corps is reinstated and kind of self-governing with the same mission statement, which is, go into the universe and be cops. But you have a little quirk, which is that some people in the universe are going to start manifesting randomly, a part of the Emotional Spectrum, which can be overwhelmingly dangerous. There's not as many [Lanterns] as there used to be, so there's a recruitment drive happening and they're trying to get the mechanisms of the Corps back in place.

We see a bit of the recruitment drive you just mentioned in #1. Will that be a big focus of the comic going forward?

Adams: We have some newer characters that will get introduced, but we'll mainly be focusing on some of the fan favorite characters. Our philosophy is that we wanted to do a couple of issues focused on one character in the A plot and another character in the B plot, and then we'll move on to the next characters. We won't stop talking about the others, we just want to give enough focus so that people are excited to see their favorites.

Morgan Hampton: Think of it like Star Trek, where the bridge crew is in every episode, but the focus kind of shifts depending on what the episode is.

Adams: Yes! Trek is exactly right, yeah, except there's no Prime Directive.

John Stewart is the lead in this first issue and he's in a strange space at the moment, with some turbulent emotional stuff going on. What can you tell us about that?

Hampton: He's in an interesting spot, yeah. Just coming out of Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s run, there were some interesting things from a philosophical standpoint that John did that we kind of want to wrestle with a little bit. He's very much presenting like everything is okay, but internally, he's working through some stuff.

Adams: He's done some really wild stuff! He has a construct of his dead sister, and that's… I don't know, that seems strange to me! [laughs] I think that we could hide it and have everybody be like, "Oh, it's OK!" But I think that realistically, people are going to go, "Should you do that?" There's certain things that are going to be really interesting to explore.

It’s already out there that Hawkwoman is going to play a part in this book. How does she fit in?

Adams: That's a good question! Well, first of all, the redesign by Fernando is great. If you've been reading the Green Lantern book, Mogo took a giant chunk out of Thanagar – like, it's basically destroyed. There's very few Thanagarians left, so I think that Hawkwoman has a lot of grief and anger – and Thanagarians aren't really known for therapy, so there's lots [to explore] there. We're also playing off our love of [animated series] Justice League Unlimited. There’s this kind of undercurrent of feeling between John and her, even if that hasn't been in the main continuity, and that's going to be interesting see play out.

Hampton: It’s been a lot of fun to figure out and flesh out what exactly we're going to do there, because we know that, even if it’s maybe not in continuity, fans are clamoring for there to be something. So how do we play with that, you know?

Adams: My first credit on television was Green Lantern: The Animated series. And so there's things that we're pulling into the main continuity now. Razer’s in the Green Lantern Corps now. Also in the world of the Thanagarians, Nth Metal has a really big part to play in the ongoing arc.

Jeremy, you've a long history with Green Lantern, but how about you Morgan? Are you a longtime fan?

Hampton: Yeah. I was maybe high school age when the Geoff Johns run was coming out and my mind was blown. I've always been a big fan of Green Lantern. I also grew up on the Justice League cartoon where John Stewart was my Green Lantern, so I've always had that special relationship with him. So yeah, getting the call to do this was like, "Oh wow!" Now I get to really put my spin on some of these characters that are some of the coolest in the DC universe.

How did your collaboration come about?

Hampton: I just happened to be emailing Paul [Kaminski, DC editor] being like, "Hey, I’ve got a Green Lantern pitch. Would you like to read it?" And he hit me up maybe a month later, and was like, "We're doing this book and we'd like you to write it with Jeremy." Me and Jeremy had already been in contact about other stuff, so it just felt like a natural progression of that relationship.

Was that pitch anything like the Green Lantern Corps book that the two of you have made?

Hampton: No, not at all. It's something that maybe down the road I want to do, because I really liked the idea.

How different is it for you both as writers penning a team book like this compared to, say, what Morgan was doing on Cyborg?

Hampton: I just came off of a Star Trek book. It's not as big a cast as this, but it was the most characters that I've ever written. This is a bigger scale than even that was, but I think I'm coming off of something that really helped me as a writer to kind of be able to facilitate that process in this book.

Adams: When I've started other books, I've always kind of focused on the main character, but then it gets a little out of hand and I add in a lot of characters! I want to make sure that every one of these characters gets a moment, you know, that we can concentrate on them and that we're not giving anybody short shrift. I think what's cool about this is that if you like Green Lantern, and maybe you dip in and out, this is going to be the place that you get to know everybody very quickly. I hope this will generate a lot of fandom around each character.

You're working with Fernando Pasarin on this book. What do you enjoy about Fernando's work?

Hampton: Getting pages from Fernando every couple days, it’s like, “How did you do this?” There's so much stuff going on even in the background. It really does feel like this is a world that exists. And you can tell how much passion that he has for the project, because it shows on the page.

Adams: The amount of detail that Fernando puts into any individual panel is bananas. It's not like, we go, “Hey, populate the background with all this stuff.” We're mindful of time and energy, but then he comes out, and he shows us something.

Hampton: He's doing the type of stuff that if you wrote this in a script, your artist would be pissed off at you!

Green Lantern Corps #1 is published by DC on February 12.

Now, Skybound Comet, the all-ages imprint of Image Comics subsidiary Skybound Entertainment, has released a preview of the all-ages OGN Transformers: Worst Bot Ever - Meet Ballpoint, the first in a series of graphic novels by writer Brian 'Smitty' Smith and artist Marz Jr.

In the preview, we see just how dangerous Ballpoint can be, and we also get a glimpse of the very special connection Ballpoint shares with Decepticon leader Megatron - at least in his own mind.

Check it out:

"The Decepticons are known for being bad...but Ballpoint is truly the worst –the biggest failure of them all. After the latest attempt to take down the Autobots goes horribly wrong, he’s kicked out of the Decepticons, for good!" reads Skybound's official description of Transformers: Worst Bot Ever - Meet Ballpoint. "Will Ballpoint be able to prove his worth by defeating the Autobots all by himself? Or will he keep failing and find that being the 'best' is...More than Meets the Eye?"

Transformers: Worst Bot Ever - Meet Ballpoint goes on sale July 9.

Skybound's ongoing Transformers title ranks among the best comics of 2024.

We've got an early unlettered preview of Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood, showing off a single page for each of the one shot's four different stories: The Web Heart, Count Parker, Spider-Hulk, and Spider-Prowler.

In terms of credits, Marvel lists the one-shot's contributors as writers Chris Eliopolous (also credited as an artist), Mat Groom, and Greg Pak, as well as artists Sumit Kumar, Alan Robinson, Luciano Vecchio, and Federico Vicentini.

Check it out:

"THE WAR OF THE MULTIVERSE IS COMING! Spider-Man and his spider-compatriots across the Spider-Verse are the guardians of the Web of Life and Destiny…but they are heading for a confrontation with the OTHER Arachnid-Multiverse of the symbiote variety when they come into conflict with the VENOMVERSE!" reads Marvel's official description of Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood #1. "In the buildup to that 8-fisted confrontation, meet three new Spider-Versers to see who has what it takes to fight in the web wars! Could it be Count Parker? Spider-Prowler? Or maybe Spider-Hulk? Find out inside!"

Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood #1 goes on sale March 5, followed by Web Of Venomverse: Fresh Brains #1 on April 2, with ore Spider-Verse Vs. Venomverse tie-ins yet to be announced.

We don't actually know much about Esposito's version of Sidewinder just yet, except that he'll serve as a villainous foil for Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson/Captain America. On the other hand, Sidewinder has a long comic book history that could potentially inform how he fits into Brave New World.

Sidewinder was originally created by beloved writer Mark Gruenwald, legendary artist George Pérez, and editor Ralph Macchio (no relation to the Karate Kid) in 1980's Marvel Two-In-One #65. In his civilian guise as economist Seth Voelker, he's hired by the villainous Roxxon Corporation as an analyst. But things take a turn when Voelker discovers Roxxon's secret genetic experiments.

In a strange twist, rather than following the standard supervillain origin of being experimented on against his will, Voelker actually volunteers to be part of Roxxon's program. Roxxon's scientists implant a cybernetic chip in his head that controls a specially designed cloak which allows him to teleport.

Taking the name Sidewinder, Voelker joins the criminal mercenary group known as the Serpent Squad, a team of Captain America villains dating back to the '70s. Later, Voelker's version of the group evolves into the Serpent Society, a vast team of snake-themed supervillains who all operate under Sidewinder's leadership, with the villain using his teleportation powers to keep them out of prison while also providing his recruits with a guaranteed salary and even health insurance like a legitimate job.

Voelker later retired from being a supervillain (at least temporarily – he's since become Sidewinder again a few times), with another villain (whose real name has never been revealed) briefly taking up the Sidewinder identity before dying on his first mission.

A third Sidewinder, Gregory Bryan, also joined the Serpent Society before taking the team in a new direction as the corporation-style villain group Serpent Solutions. This version of the team became enemies of Sam Wilson early in his career as Captain America, potentially suggesting the movie version of Sidewinder will be Gregory Bryan.

Bryan appeared as Sidewinder in the recent comic limited series Avengers Assemble, which released its final issue on January 22, so Sidewinder is very much a part of the current Marvel Universe in comics.

Though we don't know much about Captain America: Brave New World's version of Sidewinder, we do know that he seems to be quite different from his comic book counterpart. The most obvious difference is their appearance, with Giancarlo Esposito's version dressing like a more normal looking mercenary, with splashes of the color palette of the original comic version's gaudy outfit.

At the same time, the MCU version of Sidewinder also seems to be a weapons master with an arsenal of guns and explosives. In comics, while Sidewinder is certainly willing to use deadly weapons, he more often relies on the powers of his costume, especially his teleportation cloak, than run-of-the-mill firearms and bombs.

We're only weeks away from the February 14 release of Captain America: Brave New World, so we won't have to wait long to find out how Sidewinder will fit into the plot. Though he seems like a supporting character, with a powerhouse actor like Giancarlo Esposito in the role, who fans have been hoping will join the MCU for years, we're betting that his role will wind up bigger than it seems.

While you wait for Captain America: Brave New World, check out our guide on how to watch the Marvel movies in order and the Marvel timeline.

Enter Hellgate! This intimidating figure is being described as "Spider-Man's greatest challenge in the new era" and will "significantly impact the course of Peter Parker's life – both in and out of the suit!" In fact, the character has already been teased, appearing briefly in this month's Amazing Spider-Man #65, in an ominous page that seemed to hint at the possible deaths of Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Boy.

Hellgate will make his full debut in April's new #1, with his origin, identity, and missions planned to be revealed across the new series first year. Here's John Romita Jr.'s character design sheet for the villain, plus a page of pencilled artwork from the forthcoming Amazing Spider-Man #1.

So what else do we know about the relaunched comic so far? Well, expect it to be more of a continuation of the current series than a hard reboot. "Even though this is a new #1, I don't think of it as a 'restart' per se," Kelly told Polygon, which first revealed the new series. That's not too surprising, given that Kelly only came onboard Amazing Spider-Man with November 2024's #61, following in the footsteps of previous writer Zeb Wells. Now that he's established, Kelly says, "I feel a drive to take bold, unexpected swings in order to see how Spider-Man deals with Marvel-sized curve balls. Pressure makes diamonds."

Here's what Marvel's April solicitations copy has to say about the upcoming issue:

"The next era of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN has arrived! Peter is, shockingly, without a job and looking for gainful employment, but his job search is interrupted by a RAMPAGING RHINO who is but the tip of a sinister iceberg. What major Spider-Villain is working behind the scenes weaponizing other Spider-Villains including one we haven't seen in OVER SEVEN YEARS?! Also, what is that Goblin-free Norman Osborn up to anyway?"

Amazing Spider-Man #1 is published by Marvel Comics on April 9.

We've got an early preview of unlettered pages by artist Bernard Chang. And even though they don't have word balloons yet, the pages deliver the thrills big time, showing off Steve Rogers' new Asgardian armor, complete with a warhammer all his own. It may not have Mjolnir's thunderous power, but it sure looks cool alongside Steve's armor and his star-spangled shield.

Check it out:

"AS VOLSTAGG RECRUITS THE SENTINEL OF LIBERTY! When a war breaks out in the Nine Realms, Volstagg of the Warriors Three turns to the only man skilled enough to end it: Steve Rogers, Captain America!" reads Marvel's official description of Captain America & Volstagg #1. "JMS teams with visionary artist Bernard Chang for the second in a series of one-shots bringing unlikely Marvel characters together for tales unlike any other!"

Straczynski's series of unlikely Marvel pairings kicked off with January 22's Doctor Doom and Rocket Raccoon, which, as the title implies, brought together the monarch of Latveria with the Guardians of the Galaxy's irascible engineering genius.

Strazcynski just wrapped up a run on Captain America, marking the latest era in his Marvel career. In years past, Straczynski has also had fan-favorite runs on Amazing Spider-Man and Thor.

Captain America & Volstagg #1 goes on sale February 26.

Check out the best Marvel Comics stories of all time.

We've got an early preview of interior pages of Ultimate X-Men #11 by writer/artist Peach Momoko, script adaptor Zack Davisson, and letterer Travis Lanham, in which Nico Minoru and Mori dig deeper into the mystery that's been plaguing the new X-Men team, while Maystorm faces a difficult conversation.

There's no glimpse of the X-Men's new costume in the preview, but Peach Momoko's cover, also in the gallery, does show readers what we can expect:

"WHO ARE THE X-MEN? RISE OF THE MASKED MUTANTS! Maystorm takes the reins! No more hiding their powers - even if it means hiding their faces!" reads Marvel's official description for Ultimate X-Men #11. "Disenfranchised and despairing after the raid on the Children of the Atom, the man-made mutants seek out leadership - and Maystorm is ready to rise to the occasion!"

Ultimate X-Men has mostly existed in its own corner of the new Ultimate Universe, dealing with a Japanese mutant cult and its villainous disciple the Shadow King. The story has had real horror manga vibes, setting it apart both from what fans may expect of the X-Men, and from the rest of the relaunched Ultimate line.

Still, even Ultimate X-Men will have to face the eventual return of the Maker, the sinister architect of the reborn Ultimate Universe, with only around six months left till he returns.

Ultimate X-Men #11 goes on sale January 29.

"I'm so excited to be back at Image Comics with Lost Fantasy, the first title in a brand-new slate of best-in-class comics and graphic novels that I'm bringing to the pioneering publisher and home of creator-owned comics," said Pires in a statement about the new series. "Lost Fantasy has it all: page-turning mystery and pulse-pounding action in equal measure. And I can't wait for readers to discover it this April!"

Check out an exclusive preview of the opening pages from the first issue...

The alternate history series takes place in a reality where monsters, including werewolves, trolls, and more, have broken through into everyday life. 100 years has passed since first contact with the supernatural world and in that time five great schools have been founded to train hunters to defend humanity. Hunters like the handsome, sword-wielding magician Henry Blackheart. When Blackheart is called in to investigate the mysterious death of a child, however, he finds himself in serious trouble...

The first issue is available with a main and 1:15 variant cover by series artist Luca Casalanguida, plus variants by Alex Diotto, Darick Robertson, and two cardstock variants by Jae Lee.

Lost Fantasy also comes with a major treat for fans of one of Pires' previous Image titles... The series will contain Indigo Children: Exodus – a surprise sequel that will continue the dark superhero story as a serialized backup strip in the pages of Lost Fantasy every month.

The giant-sized Lost Fantasy #1 is published by Image Comics on April 30.

Take a look back at the best comics of 2024.

But Kal-El isn't the only DC character being celebrated this month. Batman and the Justice League (including, yes, Superman) will be facing a fearsome new threat as the first three parts of the 'We Are Yesterday' crossover land in stores. The Question: All Along the Watchtower reaches its epic conclusion, and the New Gods are about to come face-to-face with Earth's own protectors. Meanwhile, over in the Absolute Universe, Green Lantern is the latest hero to get a solo title, this time from the stellar team of writer Al Ewing and artist Jahnoy Lindsay.

Another packed month, then! Whatever you're excited for in April, happy reading.

FANTASTIC FOUR: SOLVE EVERYTHING [MARVEL PREMIER COLLECTION]

Written by JONATHAN HICKMAN

Penciled by DALE EAGLESHAM, NEIL EDWARDS & STEVE EPTING

Cover by JOE QUESADA

Legendary writer Jonathan Hickman’s sprawling, landmark run begins here!

Hickman revamps and redefines Marvel’s First Family in a sweeping and epic saga that crosses time, space and reality – but still finds its themes in family. And it all begins when Mister Fantastic decides to solve everything! A series of amazing revelations come together in quick succession: The Old Kingdom of Atlantis is discovered under thick Antarctic ice. Alien “Inhumans” from throughout the galaxy converge on Earth. A race of super-intelligent underground dwellers takes possession of a high-tech laboratory. And a religious cult in Manhattan threatens to cause an interdimensional invasion. Fate will play an awful hand in tying these disparate events together in a gripping drama that tests the fortitude of Marvel’s First Family like never before. Collecting material from FANTASTIC FOUR (1998) #570-588.

Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is getting the Omnibus treatment! This volume takes a deep dive into his first Marvel Age exploits, collecting all the rare appearances where the anarchic antihero wreaked havoc on the nascent Marvel Universe.

When the brash monarch earned his own series in TALES TO ASTONISH, he set out on a quest for the Trident of Neptune that would prove his status as rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis. He’ll also battle Warlord Krang, defend the Lady Dorma and go to war with the Secret Empire on the way to his own solo series!

Marvel’s groundbreaking saga of the Vietnam War gets the Omnibus treatment! Don’t worry about choosing sides. This far into the heart of darkness, things get pretty gray.

The men of the 23rd Infantry Division face a battle for survival, complete with flashbacks on the front, worries in the world back home and murder in the ranks. New soldiers enter the war, and old ones leave it – and there are too many bad ways to leave a war. Plus: The battle lines get even blurrier as enemies display their humanity and soldiers show their darker sides. Collecting THE ‘NAM (1986) #1-45 and material from SAVAGE TALES (1985) #1 and #4.

Written by TOM DEFALCO with DAVID ANTHONY KRAFT & JAN STRNAD

Penciled by RON WILSON with ALAN KUPPERBERG

Cover by RON WILSON

For sixty years and counting, the Thing has been one of Marvel’s most beloved icons! The exploits of the Fantastic Four’s ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing have always been defined by finding the biggest bad guy available and walloping the heck out of him. But the stories that open the penultimate MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE MASTERWORKS take a more urgent tone as the Thing races to find anyone and everyone who can save his compatriot Giant-Man from the ravages of cancer. It’s a moving saga that reveals the heart of the FF’s gruffest member. The Thing will also give you a dose of the action you crave, battling micro-sized gladiators alongside Ant-Man, slinging suds (and knuckles) with Sandman and even seeing if he can help Machine Man and Jocasta put a dent in Ultron’s adamantium exterior!

In this week's Wonder Woman #4, however, Diana realises that she's going to need that arm back if she is to successfully defeat the monstrous Tetracide – and there's only one way to get it: blood magic!

Spoilers for Absolute Wonder Woman #4

At the end of the previous issue, Diana cast a spell to temporarily deafen everyone in Gateway City. It was the only way to prevent the citizens from being lulled to their deaths by the Tetracide's call. Still, she needs a way to actually despatch the thing for good and her regular weapons just won't cut it. In the now established tradition of the Absolute Universe that means going big. Really, really big.

But first, that arm. The issue opens with Steve Trevor introducing Diana to Etta and Gia Candy, two sisters who own a magic shop in the city. They are able to supply her with the ingredients she will need for a complex ritual – including their own blood. Diana then calls upon the goddess Hecate in a ritual she has clearly learned from Circe. The spell works and Wonder Woman, still dripping in gore, returns now blessed with a glowing red arm. It's all extremely Buffy the Vampire Slayer season six and really quite metal.

I have slightly mixed feelings about this plot point. Personally, I loved the idea of Wonder Woman having an amputation going forward. It was probably naive of me to think that it would stick for the run of the comic, but not only was it a cool moment that showed just how far Diana is willing to go to save one person, it was good from a representation point of view. Still, the reason for granting her a new arm quickly becomes clear: she needs to be able to wield a sword that's bigger than a house...

Now, we've seen Wonder Woman's "Buster sword" in action in the first issue, but not like this. It was already huge, but here we learn that it can grow to the enormous size necessary to cut a kaiju in half – which is exactly what she does. Hooray! The city is saved.

Still, while one enemy has been defeated, the final pages of the issue make it clear that Diana is about to face an even bigger problem. We cut to a scene in the White House, where an agent says, while looking at Wonder Woman on a TV screen, "Mr. President… I'd say even if she killed that thing… we still have a very big problem on our hands." Yep, it seems like the Absolute Wonder Woman is about to follow in the footsteps of her DC All In counterpart by becoming an enemy of the state...

Absolute Wonder Woman #4 is out now from DC.

Now, Ultimate Spider-Man #13 puts a new twist on the story. And while fans of Peter and MJ's marriage don't have anything to worry about, what happens next could have a profound impact on Peter's family that may just change everything.

Spoilers ahead for Ultimate Spider-Man #13

Ultimate Spider-Man #13 by writer Jonathan Hickman, artist Marco Checchetto, color artist Matthew Wilson, and letterer Cory Petit picks up where the previous issue left off, following Mary Jane's discovery that Peter has been replaced by his shapeshifting AI suit.

Though MJ and Peter's family don't know where he is, we do, as both Peter and Harry Osborn, his ally the Green Goblin, have been captured by Kraven of Kingpin's Sinister Six.

Taking Harry and Peter into Mole Man's underground domain of the Savage Land with a plan to hunt them to the death, or die at their hands in the process, Kraven sets up a Most Dangerous Game style trap.

As Harry and Peter find themselves in the clutches of a killer with Peter having to use his powers to protect Harry, who is powerless without his armor, things are also changing back on the surface. For one thing, Peter's AI suit has continued operating as Peter, even taking his form, to safeguard Peter's family and his reputation.

But the suit's actions go beyond just imitating Peter, as it's revealed that the suit itself is teaching Peter's son Richard how to be Spider-Man, taking him out for web-swinging lessons, and even helping Richard thwart a low-level criminal.

Even though Richard seems to be taking to being Spider-Man with aplomb despite not having any powers, with the suit telling him he's getting the hang of it more easily than his father, an unexpected challenge shows up at the end of the issue, threatening to put Richard in far more danger than the suit itself planned for.

As Richard and the suit ride high on having stopped a criminal, none other than Felicia Hardy shows up, looking to get revenge on Spider-Man for having defeated her father and predecessor as the Black Cat, part of Kingpin's Sinister Six.

With Peter and Richard now both in life threatening danger, it's feeling a lot like there's a chance we could see some big shake-ups in the cast moving forward, depending strongly on what happens with Richard's first fight against a supervillain.

The story continues in February 26's Ultimate Spider-Man #14.
