Marvel Teases For December!
Marvel just doesn’t stop with the teasing. First X-Men, now this? Luckily we don’t have to wait long to figure out what Marvel’s got planned for the coming year because they’ve announced that tomorrow, Tuesday September 13th, they’ll be revealing the low down on their plans. Peep the teaser image from Marvel, and more speculations after the jump. Read on for the skinny…
The image itself is pretty simple, but it’s meaning is not so obvious. We see the Avengers infamous “A” being locked onto by some sort of target. Just who exactly is targeting them? Which members are the targets? And most importantly, does the fact that the crosshairs comes in the shape of a big old “X” mean we’ll finally see the X-Men interact with the rest of the world? Stay tuned as Marvel drops their news tomorrow afternoon!
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
