Marvel lovers listen up! This weekend, Marvel unveiled its 2019 publishing slate. This information was revealed to a hall of fans attending Marvel’s Next Big Thing panel during this year’s Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo.
The panel was hosted by Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski along with some of Marvel’s biggest creators. Not only did the panel recap some of the weekend’s biggest Marvel Comics news, they also teased what’s next in the Marvel Universe – pointing to a yet-to-be-revealed story in December.
“We’re only a few months into 2019, and we’ve already seen how our amazing fans – all of you – are inspiring some of the most outstanding storytelling in comics to date,” said Cebulski. “Whether you choose to read your favorite Marvel books – like the Immortal Hulk, Venom, Avengers: No Road Home… or you want to read about the entire Marvel Universe – there’s truly a story for every type of fan to dive into and experience this year. With that in mind, this new publishing slate for Marvel Comics is a guide to help you see where things are going and choose your favorite stories and characters to follow.”
Since the convention’s opening on Friday, attendees have received new looks at Marvel’s world-shaking War of the Realms series, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Young Gun; the deadly Absolute Carnage event, written by Donny Cates and drawn by Ryan Stegman; and the next monumental chapter for the X-Men with House of X and Powers of X, written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Young Gun Pepe Larraz and R.B. Silva respectively.
Each of these standalone series will introduce fans to new ideas and shocking implications for the Marvel Universe. This will set the scene for Marvel’s most iconic and popular Super Heroes later this year.
