05.22.2018 - Discover Kitty Pryde’s First Romance in X-MEN GOLD ANNUAL #2!

Featuring a new story from Hugo and Nebula Award winner Seanan McGuire and Marco Failla!
                                                                                                              
This summer, Kitty Pryde will make the biggest romantic leap of her life – but what about Kitty’s first romantic adventure? Hugo and Nebula Award-winning writer Seanan McGuire (October Daye, Wayward Children series) and celebrated artist Marco Failla (Ms. Marvel, All-New Wolverine) are bringing you the Kitty before Colossus in X-MEN GOLD ANNUAL #2! 

“I am over the moon to be working with this amazing creative team and in this world that I have wanted to be a part of for most of my life,” shared McGuire. “Like so many of us, I started reading the X-Men before I was old enough to have been a student at Xavier's Academy. Kitty Pryde was my hero for most of my childhood. She was smart, she was curious, she got to be an X-Man and go to space and have a dragon for a friend--she was basically everything I wanted to be.”

“The thing about Kitty is that she was the only teenager on the team for a long time, and so she didn't really get to do a lot of what we'd consider to be normal teenage things,” said McGuire. “Or maybe she did, and it just wasn't the focus, since it wouldn't involve the rest of the X-Men.  This book is filling in one of those gaps.  It's part teen camp comedy, part heist, and part reminder that the X-Men aren't the entire world, whether you're a human, a mutant, or still too young to know.”

Why has Kitty kept this early days story to herself until now? Find out in X-MEN GOLD ANNUAL #2, coming to comic shops this August!

05.22.2018 - The Hunt Concludes in HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: DEAD ENDS #1!

The Hunt for Wolverine is over – but the mystery of Logan’s return continues with new questions and new secrets! And the answers that Tony Stark, Kitty Pryde, Sabretooth and Daredevil have found in their search for the adamantium mutant may not be the ones they were expecting.

This August, Charles Soule (Hunt For Wolverine, Death of Wolverine) and Ramon Rosanas (Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey) bring you a story that ties each unique HUNT FOR WOLVERINE adventure together – in a one-shot you won’t want to miss!

“The four Hunt For Wolverine miniseries all follow different threads in pursuit of our pointy-fisted friend, and each comes to a conclusion with different pieces of the puzzle,” teases editor Jordan D. White. “With DEAD ENDS, the players assemble to bring those puzzle together and see what they learned… but they might not like what they find.”

What has Wolverine been doing? And where has he been? The questions continue in HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: DEAD ENDS, available in comic shops this August!

In Season Four, the mission of Barry Allen, aka The Flash (Grant Gustin), is once more to protect Central City from metahuman threats. First, he’ll have to escape the Speed Force. With Barry trapped, the job of protecting Central City falls to his family – Detective Joe West (Jesse L. Martin); his fiancée, Iris West (Candice Patton); and Wally West/Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale) – and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs – Dr. Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon/Vibe (Carlos Valdes) and brilliant scientist Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh). When a powerful villain threatens to level the city if The Flash doesn’t appear, Cisco risks everything to break Barry out of the Speed Force. But this is only the first move of a life-or-death chess game with Clifford DeVoe aka The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), a mastermind who’s always ten steps ahead of Barry, no matter how fast he’s running.  Shocking surprises come fast and furious in all 23 action-packed adventures featuring The Fastest Man Alive.

“After four seasons on the air, The Flash continues to be the one of the most popular shows on The CW,” said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing.
