This coming December, Marvel Comics is relaunching Tony Stark's adventures as an industrialist and armored adventurer, as the brand new volume of Invincible Iron Man launches - with Gerry Duggan on writing duties while Juan Frigeri handles the interior artwork.
In the new relaunched series of Ol' Shellhead, someone is out to kill Tony Stark - and Iron Man's got to find a way to save his civilian identity from being silenced for good.
This fall, DC Comics will be honoring three decades of one of the shocking events to happen in the history of comics - "The Death of Superman".
In a blog post seen at their official website, DC Comics has announced that they are honoring that classic DC storyline with a double-sized special that will be released this coming November.
To celebrate the special anniversary of this genre-defining moment, DC has reunited the original creative teams of Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding; Roger Stern and Butch Guice; Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove; and Jerry Ordway and Tom Grummett for The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1. Available at comic shops on November 8, The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1 features four all-new stories that explore the lasting impact that Clark’s death had on his family and friends as well as nine pinups and variant covers by some of the top names in comics.
Even after 30 years, the Man of Steel's heroic sacrifice battling and losing his life to Doomsday is still well remembered by fans and comic readers to this day. It will be interesting to see how this special and the stories collected in it will commemorate the occasion.
Featuring a stellar cast of writers and artists that include names like Neil Gaiman, Jonathan Hickman, Dan Slott, Kurt Busiek, Jim Cheung, Terry Dodson, and more, the issue that commemorates Spidey’s milestone also honors the issue that introduced the webslinger to the world - namely Amazing Fantasy #15 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko!
This will be a monumental issue to get! Read more about the details via Marvel.com!

Come July, one of the most prolific writers in the comic book world is taking on the mainline title of DC's flagship superhero, as Chip Zdarsky teams up with artist Jorge Jimenez for "Batman" starting this July with issue #125 - which begins the six issue storyline called "Failsafe".
Taking over from Joshua Williamson who is handling the current Batman arc as well as "Shadow War" crossover event with Deathstroke, this new storyline will test Bruce Wayne and his alter ego to their limits as Zdarsky describes "Failsafe as his Doomsday" in his interview with Comic Book.com.
"When DC approached me to write Batman, I immediately thought about things that could really challenge the character mentally, physically, and in terms of his relationships Failsafe is his Doomsday. When I started mapping out the story I got really excited about where it could take the title."
Zdarsky is currently writing the miniseries "Batman: The Knight" and will also be handling Daredevil when it relaunches after Devil's Reign finishes.
Failsafe begins with Batman #125 this coming July 5.

And the arrival of the new threat known as "The Great Darkness" - who has been revealed to have pulled the strings behind the many "Crisis" events in the DC Universe since Crisis on Infinite Earths as retconned and told in the pages of "Justice League Incarnate". The series will feature Superman's son Jonathan Kent, Jace Fox Batman, Nightwing, Wally West Flash, Hal Jordan Green Lantern, and so many other heroes as they need to step up to continue the fight after the loss of the World's Greatest Heroes.

The world of the DC Universe will be flipped upside down following the impending demise of the Justice League with issue #75 of their comic book series, as DC Comics announces their next big event coming this year in "Dark Crisis". As reported by Newsarama, the event will focus on the newly revealed big baddie in The Great Darkness - who has been pulling the strings since 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths and beyond and is now going to make his presence known with this new crossover event.
With the loss of the mainline Justice League, new heroes and legacy characters will be taking up the mantle as protectors such as Superman's son Jonathan Kent and the next Batman in Jace Fox. Details are still going to be revealed by DC Comics this February 9. Stay tuned for that and more info down the line.
Yup, you read it right - the mantle of Captain America will be shared by the original and one of his best friends and successors, as Marvel and Entertainment Weekly have revealed that April’s “Captain America #0” will be a double sized issue that serves as a springboard for two new Cap titles - “Captain America: Symbol of Truth” that stars Sam Wilson and comes out on May, and the. “Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty” with the original Steve Rogers going on his own adventures!
This will be the second time that Steve and Sam have had their own respective titles… In a way. Back during the build up to “Secret Empire” when “Steve Rogers” returned, he headlined his own Cap title while Sam also continues as his version and carried the original shield. Now it appears both heroes will share the mantle while the ex-Falcon gets a new one with different colors.
