  • X-Men of Apocalypse #2 hits comic book stores on December 17th. Pre-orders are available now!

What They’re Saying:

  • Jeph Loeb, Writer: “It’s so much fun revisiting the first issue of the X-Men from 1963. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were at the height of their powers creating these legendary characters that are still dominate pop culture today! I love the original cast—young and full of hope—and that's what makes going up against the X-Men of Apocalypse so astonishing. The XoA team only knows a world of war and death while at this point the O.G. X-Men barely have had any experience! Whatever happens -- this one counts!"

Black Panther: Intergalactic:

  • Also arriving this December is a new Black Panther limited series continuing Marvel Comics’ cosmic adventure first introduced in Imperial.
  • Titled Black Panther: Intergalactic, the new four-issue series is being brought to life by writer Victor LaValle and artist Stafano Nesi.
  • As he begins the tough job of being the leader his kingdom needs, he is stolen away to a mysterious planet where he must fight for his life.
  • Shuri sets out on a mission to find him, but with the king MIA and the princess fully invested in saving him, will someone be able to take the throne?
  • The first of four issues of Black Panther: Intergalactic is set to debut on December 17th, with preorders available now.
