Fans will get a chance to dive into Marvel Comics’ most exciting new launches and ongoing series with new printings of “AVENGERS FOREVER #1”, “CAPTAIN AMERICA/IRON MAN #1”, “DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE: BLOODSTONE #1,” and “SHANG-CHI #7!” These sold-out issues will be available at comic shops starting on February 23, complete with new second printing covers.

Meet the Avengers of the multiverse in Jason Aaron and Aaron Kuder‘s AVENGERS FOREVER! On a quest for cosmic vengeance, Ghost Rider finds himself roaring through the wasteland on a ruined Earth, where the great age of heroes never came to be, where hope is a four-letter word, and his only ally in the coming battle against the greatest villains any universe has ever seen is the world’s most wanted archaeologist, Tony Stark… the Invincible Ant-Man. Spinning out of the cataclysmic events of “AVENGERS #750” and operating in lockstep with the prime AVENGERS series, the next great Avengers saga begins here, as the Mightiest Heroes of every Earth begin to assemble. “AVENGERS FOREVER #1” will have two second printing variant covers, one of which will showcase Aaron Kuder’s original design for the new villain known as the Black Skull!

Derek Landy and Angel Unzueta team up to bring you a thrilling adventure starring a fan-favorite dynamic duo in “CAPTAIN AMERICA/IRON MAN #1!” A government agent turned Hydra provocateur stages a daring breakout on her way to prison, attracting the attention of both Iron Man and Captain America. When Steve and Tony realize they both have a connection to the slippery fugitive, they team up to track her down, only to discover she’s not the only player on the board with big plans and sinister motives…

Tini Howard and Ig Guara present an exciting new chapter for the Bloodstone family in “DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE: BLOODSTONE #1!”

Who better to defend Earth from magical invaders than monster-hunter Elsa Bloodstone? Elsa is the best there is at what she does: tough, skilled, and clever enough to handle any problem… except her brother, Cullen. They have issues, and they’ll have to put them aside not only to protect Earth but also to welcome the latest addition to the Bloodstone clan: their long-lost sister! Her awesome set of powers and unique Blood gem have placed a target on her back, and the worst horrors from beyond this realm are on the hunt. The second printing variant cover for “DEATH OF DOCTOR STRANGE: BLOODSTONE” will be a new version of Ig Guara’s cover that showcased his enchanting design for Lyra Bloodstone!

Learn more secrets about Shang-Chi’s fascinating family tree in Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan‘s “SHANG-CHI #7!” Arrows will definitely fly when we flashback to the first meeting of Shang-Chi‘s parents! Who was Shang-Chi’s mother? And how did someone so virtuous and heroic fall for an evil warlord like Zheng Zu? Plus, in the present, the tides begin to turn against Shang-Chi, as the mastermind gathering all of his foes stands revealed! Fans will be able to check out Dike Ruan’s design for Shang-Chi’s mysterious grandfather, Xin, on the second printing variant cover.

On August 25^th, Marvel will celebrate its most legendary Asian super heroes in MARVEL’S VOICES: IDENTITY #1! The latest in a far-reaching lineup of one-shots designed to uplift marginalized voices and celebrate the diversity of Marvel Comics’ characters and creators, MARVEL’S VOICES: IDENTITY #1 will be a thrilling collection of uplifting adventures starring Shang-Chi, Jubilee, Silk, Jimmy Woo, Ms. Marvel, Wave, Silhouette, Armor and Silver Samurai. This highly anticipated issue will also boast a series of exciting new variant covers by an all-star lineup of artists including Peach Momoko’s spellbinding take on Nico Minoru, a gorgeous depiction of Marvel’s greatest fighter by InHyuk Lee, a celebration of some of mutant-kind’s greatest stars by Uncanny X-Men artist Philip Tan, and more!

“It’s unreal to me that one of Marvel’s first Asian super heroes, Jimmy Woo, was first introduced in 1956. He predates the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and the X-Men,” Editor Darren Shan said. “It just goes to show that Asians have been an integral part of Marvel’s history, both on the page and behind it. So I’m incredibly excited to celebrate that with all these amazing creators, new and established, featuring some of Marvel’s greatest (and dare I say it, best) super heroes!”

Shang-Chi #1-2

Leave a reply

Award-winning writer Gene Luen Yang and rising star artist Dike Ruan’s revolutionary run on SHANG-CHI is redefining the super hero’s mythos like never before! After taking over leadership of his evil father’s cult-like organization known as the Five Weapons Society, the iconic martial arts hero has set out to change the group’s corrupt ways and it hasn’t been easy. With new power comes new enemies and each action-packed issue has not only pitted Shang-Chi against fellow Marvel super heroes, but have also introduced deadly new foes. And in the shadows, Shang-Chi’s exciting new rogues gallery are teaming up with a very mysterious leader to take him down for good. With the first two thrilling issues selling out, Marvel Comics is happy to announce new second printings so fans can dive into what is shaping up to be the most iconic era of Marvel’s greatest fighter!

Shang-Chi, or Brother Hand, is a superhero that first debuted in Special Marvel Edition #15 in 1973, therefore in the Bronze Age of comic books, and starred in his first solo title in 1983. He was originally the son of master criminal Fu Manchu but that changed once Marvel lost the rights to author Sax Rhomer’s properties. He’s known for using guns, swords, and nunchaku as weapons. In 2021 he’ll make his MCU debut with the standalone movie: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Pick up the second printings of SHANG-CHI #1 and #2 on August 4th.

MARVEL’S GREATEST FIGHTER DISCOVERS HIS SECRET DESTINY IN THE SHANG-CHI #1 TRAILER!

Writer Gene Luen Yang teams up with artists Dike Ruan and Phillip Tan for the next chapter in the legend of Shang-Chi!

Shang-Chi returns this month in a brand-new series by Eisner Award-winning writer Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese) and acclaimed artists Dike Ruan (Spider-Verse, Black Cat) and Philip Tan (Uncanny X-Men). The former Avenger will be forced to confront his family’s dark history when the mysterious Five Weapons Society emerges from the shadows. With the group’s leadership in question, a bloody power struggle will erupt into a full-blown war and only the deadly fists of Shang-Chi can protect the Marvel Universe from the fallout. Founded by his father, Zheng Zu, this ancient group of warriors will reveal long-hidden truths about Shang-Chi’s past and drag the hero back into a world he thought he left behind forever. Get your first look at this shocking family reunion in the SHANG-CHI #1 trailer, featuring never-before-seen art from the debut issue!

“We are keeping all of the big pieces of Shang-Chi’s backstory. He’s the son of a supervillain who dreamed of taking over the world. Shang-Chi grew up in a remote area of China, separated from modern society. He eventually made his way to America and joined forces with American superheroes. We want to flesh him out by adding to his supporting cast,” Yang revealed in a recent interview with SYFY Wire. “We’ve met some of his siblings in the past, but in this particular miniseries we’re going to meet a full set of them. Each is going to bring out a different aspect of Shang-Chi’s personality.”

Don’t miss this fascinating new take on the Shang-Chi mythos when this action-packed series kicks off on September 30th!
