Bucky Barnes: The Winter Solider Lands in October
The once ally of Captain America, Bucky Barnes has been everywhere this year. Thanks to starring in his own stellar sequel film Captain America: The Winter Solider and playing a rather pivotal role in “Original Sin.” Now hot off the heels of the incredible New Avengers Annual from Frank Barbiere and Marco Rudy comes an all new ongoing series all about the Winter Soldier.
Ales Kot will be writing. He’s proven himself a master of modern spy fiction with “Zero” from Image, and Marco Rudy is just a masterclass in comic book paneling. I’m excited to see what they do with the book. Although I have my reservations about keeping Rudy away from Steven Strange… expect a book about the sorcerer supreme to be announced anytime in the next few weeks.

This October, go intergalactic as the super-soldier spy takes on a new mission in BUCKY BARNES: THE WINTER SOLDIER #1, the all-new ongoing series exploding into comic shops this October from rising comic stars Ales Kot and Marco Rudy! Following the shocking finale of Original Sin, what new mission has the Winter Soldier more driven than ever before?
Prepare to experience the greater Marvel Universe as the master assassin travels from the depths of Limbo to the far reaches of space on a new mission launching directly out of Original Sin! He’s toppled dictators and foiled terrorist plots. But what hope does one man have against aliens, monsters and Asgardians? Clearly they’ve never met Bucky Barnes…
“Ales teaches a master class on 21st-century spy stories in [his creator-owned series] Zero month after month, and he’s come up with a whole new spin on the genre for this new Winter Soldier series,” says Editor Wil Moss in an interview with The AV Club. “And Marco [Rudy] reinvents sequential art every time he draws a page, as anyone who read the recent New Avengers Annual knows, so he was a natural pick for a book like this where there are now limits, and where every corner of the Marvel U is going to be explored.”
A new mission begins, and the Winter Soldier brings his years of battle-hardened experiences to a larger stage than ever before! Be there this October for the pulse-pounding action and espionage when Kot & Rudy explore the man beneath the mask in BUCKY BARNES: THE WINTER SOLDIER #1!

‘You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive’ – IDW Dark’s Next Horror Comic Will Make You Question Reality
Five friends. Four houses. One perfect life. Bloody Disgusting is excited to exclusively announce You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive, a brand new horror comic from IDW Dark.
From Eisner-Nominated writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, and rising horror artist Heather Vaughan, You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive is described as a “paranoia-laced, socially-conscious, horror mystery that will leave you questioning reality, and reveal that this crafted world is more of a nightmare than the idealistic dream they were expecting.”
Phoebe Joplin has never questioned the world her parents built: a secluded community where she and her friends were raised to be smarter, stronger, and better than anyone else. No distractions. No dangers. No secrets. Until the night of their graduation.
When one of them dies under impossible circumstances, Phee starts to pull at the edges of her perfect life—and what she finds is something far more terrifying than she ever imagined.
Because this place isn’t a sanctuary. It’s a cage. And no one who discovers the truth ever leaves it alive.
Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing (Batman – One Bad Day: Clayface, Star Trek: The Last Starship) co-write the upcoming IDW Dark horror comic, featuring art by Heather Vaughan.
Jackson Lanzing said in a statement to Bloody Disgusting, “You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive is in many ways a spiritual successor to our last creator-owned horror, The Principles of Necromancy – a dive into the promise and consequence of playing god with the blood of innocents. But the Hivemind book this reminds me of most is Clayface: One Bad Day. This is a deeply human story with intensely raw emotions – five best friends and their five mysterious parents, tearing one another apart for the promise of some impossible glory that’s waiting just beyond their darkest actions. We’re thrilled to be bringing this story to life with our long-time partner in crime, editor Heather Antos, at IDW Dark – and we’re particularly excited to give our Clayface fans a new, brutal and emotional horror made just for them.”
Adds Collin Kelly, “We’re deconstructing a feeling that seems universal these days; our elders have a death grip on their power, without any intention of giving it up to the generations that come next. YNLTPA is about growing up with the limitless potential of the future… and realizing how much it’s a lie we’ve been fed to keep us under the yoke of the past. Bringing this brutal experience to life is our artist and co-creator, Heather Vaughan, who brings an incredible amount of humanity to our cast. But it’s in our youthful leads that Heather’s art really shines – you are going to fall in love with these young people, even as they go through the worst experience of their lives. What we’ve all crafted together is going to be tragic, painful, but above all else, sincere – with a future so uncertain, there’s only one thing we can trust: you’ll never leave this place alive.”
“Some horror stories are about monsters in the dark. YNLTPA is about realizing the monsters raised you,” previews Senior Group Editor Heather Antos. “Working with Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly on this series has been a dream in the darkest possible way. They’ve built a story that’s layered, brutal, and deeply emotional, and every issue gives artist Heather Vaughan opportunities to push the art into places that feel both haunting and deeply personal. Some horror comics will keep you up at night…this is one that will stick with you for years to come.”
The first issue of You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive goes on sale October 14, 2026! Make sure to pre-order at your local comic shop by September to guarantee a copy.
