Today, BOOM! Studios finally unveiled the creative team that will be responsible for helming the publisher’s imminent Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic, along with new details on how the new comic fits — or doesn’t — into the previous run at Dark Horse Comics. CBR can exclusively reveal that writer Jordie Bellaire and artist Dan Mora are working with creator and story consultant Joss Whedon to reboot the entire Buffy concept from day one. RELATED: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Reportedly Still in ‘Fairly Early’ Stages Artist Matthew Taylor is providing the series with its main cover, while a line up including Kevin Wada, Royal Dunlap, Becca Carey and Jen Bartel will produce variants.

If you haven’t been listening to the hit podcast Wolverine: The Long Night, now might be a good time to start, as Marvel has announced a comic book adaptation is in the works. The announcement was made at New York Comic Con during their This Week in Marvel panel and promises to add some vivid illustrations to what has thus far been an audio-only storytelling experience.

Marvel Studios has reportedly developed and completed a script based on Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr.’s Dark Avengers team. The news comes from That Hashtag Show, which reports a script for Dark Avengers was completed, though it does not make mention of who wrote the script. The site also claims the film could end up not getting produced, as Marvel Studios has scripts for a variety of other projects, many of which never see release. Still, the fact that Marvel Studios commissioned the script in the first place could indicate a desire to bring the team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the future.

A tradition of over a decade, Marvel Comics Cup O Joe panel is often an opportunity for Joe Quesada to take on anything and everything readers want to know about the House of Ideas. But at the 2018 New York Comic Con, the company’s Chief Creative Officer had a different track as he prepared to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Marvel Knights line – the imprint that launched his Marvel editorial career even before his time as Editor-in-Chief. Quesada arrived for Friday’s Cup O Joe panel accompanied by a lineup of Marvel Knights creators past including longtime collaborator and writer Jimmy Palmiotti, Punisher writer Tom Sniegoski and Black Panther writer Christopher Priest. In the crowd, more members of the Marvel executive team including Editor-in-Chief CB Cebulski and SVP of Publishing Tom Brevoort circulated. The discussion started with Priest’s influence on the Marvel Studios Black Panther movie, and the wri

The final panel of a busy Friday at the 2018 for DC Comics was a massive affair in the cons biggest room. But the DC All Stars panel worked to provide star power to match the space as a big lineup of big names appeared to tell their personal stories of comics history. “It’s not really DC All Stars panel. It’s comic book All Stars,” DiDio said, promising the fans that the talent lineup on stage would come out to share their stories on how they came to comics and made a life out of it. Joining the Publisher on stage were a lineup that DiDio gave slightly notorious intros of their earliest work including Jock (former Magic The Gathering artist), Tom King (Valiant fan fiction writer), Jimmy Palmiotti (starting at Malibu Comics), Amanda Conner (Barbie comics), Brian Michael Bendis (“toiling in obscurity for 20 years at some minor company”), Sean Murphy (the “very aggressive” Punk Rock Jesus) and Scott Snyder (w

At New York Comic Con‘s Friday evening Marvel Comics: Spider-Man panel, the publisher revealed that Spider-Geddon will be an event centered on Miles Morales. “To date, most Spider-Man events that we’ve seen have been surrounding the life and times of Peter Parker,” Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski said in a trailer for the event at NYCC. “But now, Peter’s taken a backseat, and Miles is taken front and center to this. Miles Morales, who is new to the Marvel Universe, the new teen Spider-Man, the Kid Arachnid, so to speak, is going to be at the front and center of his first big Spider-Man event.” RELATED: The True Cause of Spider-Geddon is Finally Revealed Spider-Geddon is the follow-up to 2014’s Spider-Verse, bringing back Morlun and his Inheritors, as well as new villains.

Writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Javier Garron are chronicling the next adventures of Miles Morales in the appropriately titled Miles Morales: Spider-Man, and today Ahmed teased what fans can expect when the comic launches in December during the Marvel Comics: Spider-Man Panel at New York Comic Con. One of the big plot points for the series will see the young Spider-Man get in over his head, resulting in Miles doing something he really shouldn’t. RELATED: Marvel Announces New Miles Morales: Spider-Man Creative Team “Miles is back in school, back in Brooklyn,” Ahmed said. “He’s at the start of a new school year as the series starts. And he’s keeping a journal that he’s possibly ill-advisingly keeping more secrets in that he should. Without giving too much away, I’m a fan of the villain-hero team-up, so maybe everything isn’t what it seems between him and the Rhino.” He also no

At Friday’s Marvel Comics: Spider-Man panel at New York Comic-Con, the recent fate of one of the comic’s cast members was addressed, as well as the potential future of another. When a fan asked about the recent death of longtime character Flash Thompson, current Amazing Spider-Man writer Nick Spencer stated that there were no plans to bring Peter Parker’s one-time frenemy back any time soon. RELATED: Which Spider-Man Named Spider-Geddon (And Why Is That Important)? Flash, as Anti-Venom, was killed by Norman Osborn, as the Red Goblin, in the finale of previous series writer Dan Slott’s run in Amazing Spider-Man #800. Ironically, Osborn had also been dead for some time, but made his eventual and lasting return. A trailer for Marvel’s upcoming Spider-Geddon event was later screened at the panel. Another fan subsequently asked about the future of Ben Reilly, Peter’s most famous clone, and executive editor Nick Lowe cited

Marvel Comics promises readers “the most local Peter Parker ever” with the announcement of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Set to launch in 2019, this new series written by Tom Taylor (X-Men Red, Injustice) with art by Juann Cabal (All-New Wolverine, X-23) will revolve around Peter Parker as he is faced with the age-old problem of having to balance his superhero life with his personal one. Between costumed supervillains, property damage, making rent and trying to be the best neighbor possible both in and out of costume, Peter Parker will definitely have a lot on plate come January (but what else is new?).

From Wally West to Ted Kord, DC Rebirth has brought many beloved characters back to the DC Universe, sometimes even going so far as to resurrect characters the company killed off years ago. It seems like another resurrection will soon take place in the pages of Action Comics, as current Superman scribe Brian Michael Bendis has teased the return of the original Question, Vic Sage. RELATED: Doomsday Clock Might Finally Explain What DC’s Rebirth Really Means Earlier today on his Instagram account, Bendis shared an image drawn by artist Ryan Sook that features the original Faceless Fury standing over the bodies of criminals, smoke surrounding the character’s body to form a question mark in what Bendis calls a sneak preview.

DC artist Mitch Gerads has revealed the “actual” variant cover to Mister Miracle #12, the finale of the Eisner award-winning miniseries from him and writer Tom King. Gerads previously released an unfinished version of the cover, teasing fans on the ending he and Tom King have planned for the critically-acclaimed and highly-unique title. That cover featured a costumed Scott Free struggling to avoid being enveloped in a curtain-like darkness, with the books’ now-infamous line, “Darkseid is.” The final version he tweeted now adds Scott’s son, Jacob, as he holds onto his father’s leg.

Tom King is a renowned and fan-favorite writer that has written many modern comic book classics such as Marvel’s The Vision, Vertigo’s The Sheriff of Babylon, DC’s The Omega Men and, currently, Batman. Ever since the DC Rebirth relaunch in 2016, King has been at the helm of the title, guiding the Dark Knight on a journey that examines both his strengths and his weaknesses, as a superhero and a man alike. Over the summer, the series reached a milestone with its 50th issue, which is said to be roughly the halfway point of the writer’s run on the world’s greatest detective. We may have only seen half of King’s long term plans so far, but already we might have a hint as to how the run will conclude.

Preview art for Animosity: Evolution #8 reveals what the previous issue hinted at — that a vast and terrible civil war approaches the new animal kingdom. Issue #7 ended with a band of dolphins effectively cutting off the water supply to Wintermute’s followers. The preview art hints at the repercussions for those actions. The preview art sees all manner of nightmares coming to fruition. Not only has Wintermute seemingly turned a corner when it comes to brokering peace based on the idea of equality, but the war drums are beating loudly. The sneak peek even sees primates tripping over themselves to get into a tank, which is never a good sign. RELATED: Bendis Shares Rebirth Debut of The Question in Action Comics #1005 It will be interesting to see how the land forces of Wintermute engage those of the dolphins, the latter, of course, being sea creatures who are adept in their environment and capable of wreaking havoc should they please.

Few films in recent memory have aroused the same kind of curiosity as Ruben Fleischer’s Venom. The very premise of the film is audacious — a Spider-Man villain acting as lethal protector, all while his signature nemesis is nowhere to be found. The supervillain-led film is the first of its kind in the modern age of superheroes, and if it does well at the box office it may be the blueprint for Sony’s own flavor of Marvel Cinematic Universe offshoot. But the question on everyone’s lips is a simple one — does that flavor even taste good? Luckily, we don’t have to wait very long to find out.

Chuck Palahniuk, author of the 1996 novel Fight Club and its 2015 comic book meta-sequel Fight Club 2: The Tranquility Gambit, is teaming up with Dark Horse Comics once again to continue Tyler Durden’s story with Fight Club 3. Joining Palahniuk in this new installment will be Eisner Award-winning artist Cameron Stewart (Fight Club 2, Hellblazer), letterer Nate Piekos of Blambot, colorist Dave McCaig (X-Men, Adam Strange) and cover artist David Mack (Jessica Jones, Daredevil). RELATED: Palahniuk Talks “Fight Club 2” & His Conflicted Relationship with Tyler Durden “What’s the first rule of fatherhood?” is the question Fight Club 3 poses.

However, the baby’s father is not the unnamed narrator from the original novel, who now goes by Balthazar, but rather, perennial agent of chaos Tyler Durden.

Though DC’s new Freedom Fighters comic will take place in the current day rather than the past, its central villain is someone ripped straight out of the history book: Adolf Hitler. Or, rather, Hitler’s son and grandson. Robert Venditti and Eddy Barrows’ new 12-issue series takes place in a dimension where World War II went a decidedly different way from our reality’s. There, on Earth X, the Nazis won the war and have ruled the planet ever since. Now, Hitler’s son sits upon the metaphorical throne, and oversees what his father achieved. RELATED EXCLUSIVE: Eddy Barrows’ Design for Freedom Fighter’s PlaSSticMen Hitler’s son rules with an iron fist, but he’s pragmatic.

Lead The Walking Dead character Rick Grimes has thus far survived in both AMC’s television series and the comic series it’s based on, but he’s going to have to meet his maker at some point. At New York Comic Con on Thursday, franchise creator Robert Kirkman warned that when Rick’s time comes, don’t necessarily expect his demise on the show to have much in common with that in the comic. “I know exactly how Rick Grimes dies in the comic book and it’s possible there will be some difference there,” said Kirkman. “[In the comics] it could happen next issue or it could happen 10 years from now, I could change my mind.
