Fireborn follows Aaron Hillburg who is just another rich-kid failson ghosting his responsibilities, hopping rooftops, and hating his billionaire father in peace… until a mysterious floating dragon egg bonds to him and ignites a hidden lineage of ancient magic inside his body.

Now every violent outlaw wizard, biker cultist, and supernatural warlord between New York City and The World Beneath is hunting him—and they’ll burn the world down to pry the egg from his corpse.

“Comic books will always be one of my deepest passions. Before I even touched music, my first dream job was to be a comic book writer,” said Jonas. “As a young kid discovering Stories like Fraction and Aja’s Hawkeye or Hickman and Pitarra’s TheManhattan Projects taught me what is possible with storytelling in a sequential art format. Last year after finally talking in depth about my love for comics online I discovered Lost Fantasy and fell in love. There is nothing I love more than a book that creates an immersive world that creates its own distinct aesthetic and believes itself. When Curt asked if I wanted to collaborate on Fireborn and the preview backups in Lost Fantasy there was no hesitation. Curt has been an amazing friend to collaborate with, showing me the ropes and helping me understand the backstage of the industry while we manifest our wild ideas brought to life by Patrick in such beautifully vivid ways.”

Fireborn promises readers a high octane fusion of fantasy and superheroes perfect for fans of Invincible, How To Train Your Dragon, and Absolute Batman.

Pires added: “Lost Fantasy has been one of the most special and gratifying projects for me to work on of my entire career. Not just because I love the world and creative work I’m doing on this book alongside my co-creators Luca, Mark, and Micah but because it’s put me in touch with so many amazing readers, retailers, and new friends. I count Franklin among those friends. Within minutes of meeting Franklin and talking with him—I could feel the same deep love for comics that I have, exists inside of him too, and I knew I needed to find a way to bring him into the fold. 

“The result is Fireborn: a high octane fantasy superhero fusion that alchemizes all the things Franklin and I love about the comic book medium into a rollercoaster new ongoing series that spins directly out of Lost Fantasy #9—which will release the same day as Fireborn #1, and be co-written by Franklin. 

“I’m so grateful for the continued support for everything Lost Fantasy by our amazing readers and retailers. Fireborn is just step one in growing this amazing universe. We remain committed to producing one of the best comics on the shelves and creating exciting new stories and worlds that bring people to our favorite places: local comic shops.”

From his beginnings as a teen sensation at DC Comics to becoming one of the industry’s most celebrated figures, Liefeld’s journey has been nothing short of legendary. In the early 90’s at Marvel Comics, he introduced the world to iconic characters such as Deadpool, Cable, and X-Force, catapulting sales to unprecedented heights with record-shattering single book sales of 5 million copies of X-Force #1. 

Following his groundbreaking work at Marvel, Liefeld embarked on a new chapter by co-founding Image Comics, disrupting the whole comics industry, and launching the third-largest comic publisher in history. This new comic publisher allowed creators to publish material of their own creation without giving up copyrights to those characters, something that other publishers had never offered. Liefeld found success with his creation of Youngblood, Bloodstrike, and Prophet, each selling over one million copies on their debuts, an unheard-of achievement for independent comics at the time. 

In 1996, Liefeld triumphantly returned to Marvel, where he revitalized iconic titles such as The Avengers and Captain America, leading to the top-selling Avengers comic in the title’s history. He has remained at the top of his game since. Through his fearless approach and willingness to push boundaries, he reshaped the industry’s landscape, leaving an indelible legacy that continues to influence creators today. 

“Robservations”  will feature 10 original illustrations and promises to take readers on a captivating journey through his personal life and over his 35-year+ career in the entertainment industry. It will lift the veil on the inner workings of comic book publishers, the suits behind Hollywood studios, and pivotal moments that have shaped modern pop culture. From behind-the-scenes anecdotes to reflections on his career-defining decisions, as well as facts little known in the comic book industry, Liefeld offers a candid and compelling account of his life and legacy.

“BenBella is thrilled to partner with legendary comic artist Rob Liefield on the release of his memoir. Rob offers a glimpse into the hurdles and triumphs of his 38-year career, the origin stories of many beloved characters, and what’s next for the creator of Deadpool and Cable. We’re excited to help Rob share his story with fans who love comic books as much as he does.” said BenBella CEO Glenn Yeffeth.

We’re excited to help Rob share his story with fans who love comic books as much as he does.” said BenBella CEO Glenn Yeffeth. “I have had a lifelong love affair with comic books. They have been my passion since I was seven years old. Having been fortunate to break into the business as a teenager in the 80s, I’ve seen five decades of tremendous change, quite a bit of upheaval, and a fair amount of rebellion and betrayal. Some of which I started. It’s been quite a ride, and I’m eager to share this incredible ride with everyone.” added Rob Liefeld “Watching my creations become roles portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, Minka Kelly with many more on the way, is a crazy culmination of my comic book dreams as a kid. Over the course of my career, comic books have become a rich minefield that drives pop culture.” “Robservations” is poised to become a must-read for comic book enthusiasts, pop culture aficionados, and anyone seeking inspiration from one of the industry’s most influential figures. With its blend of humor, insight, and unbridled passion, Liefeld’s memoir promises to captivate readers and leave a lasting impression. Rob Liefeld is represented by Liz Parker and David Boxerbaum from Verve Talent.

Ghost Machine, the creator-owned and creator-operated media company from Brad Anderson, Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Geoff Johns, Rob Leigh, Lamont Magee, Francis Manapul, Brad Meltzer, Ivan Reis, Peter Snejbjerg, Peter J. Tomasi, and Maytal Zchut, published by Image Comics, and Comics on Coffee, the family-owned brand known for serving premium coffee to comics fans, agreed to a non-exclusive licensing deal. Just in time for “Ghost Machine Day” the first bespoke “Ghost Roast,” a light roast blend created by Comics on Coffee is available for pre-order, with more to come.

“We’ve specifically chosen a shorter roast time so you can taste the complexity of the beans, from its subtle sweetness to hints of a fruity flavor. And of course, the lighter the roast the more caffeine you could get. Because you know…deadlines,” said coffee enthusiast and Ghost Machine artist/writer Francis Manapul, whose The Rocketfellers with Peter J. Tomasi will come out later this year.

Today’s “Ghost Machine Day” today marks the launch of an all-new ongoing Geiger series from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank; and first issues of Redcoat from Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, and Rook: Exodus from Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok. All three titles are colored by Brad Anderson and lettered by Rob Leigh. Ghost Machine #1, the one-shot which introduced Geiger, Redcoat, Rook: Exodus, as well as titles planned for later this year like Hyde Street, The Rocketfellers, Hornsby & Halo, and more, went on sale January 24. All of Ghost Machine’s titles are published through Image Comics.

Ghost Machine’s groundbreaking creator collective was launched at New York Comic Con in October 2023 and features a global best-of-class lineup of artists and writers whose award-winning and iconic works include a who’s who of comic book legends such as Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Aquaman, Stargirl, JSA, The Flash, The Ultimates, Black Lightning, Green Arrow and countless more: Brad Anderson, Jason Fabok, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Geoff Johns, Rob Leigh, Lamont Magee, Francis Manapul, Brad Meltzer, Ivan Reis, Peter Snejbjerg, Peter J. Tomasi, and Maytal Zchut. In an industry first, all of Ghost Machine’s creators jointly own and run the company, sharing in all of Ghost Machine’s publishing, media, merchandising and licensing. Each creator is exclusive to the company for their comic book work after completing projects already committed to.

Founded by husband and wife team Tony and Tanya Scholl, Comics on Coffee is known for serving premium coffee to people who love comics, heroes, and Lord of the Rings. Their high-quality coffee beans are imported directly from farmers around the world and roasted at their facilities in Fort Myers, Florida. Tanya has always had a passion for drawing. Archie Comics and Batman sparked an interest in comics that got her drawing at a very young age. She designs all the Comics on Coffee bags and works closely with licensees to create stunning “collect-worthy” coffee bags for all fans. Tony is head roaster and logistics expert, traveling to different coffee farms to personally check the coffee quality and develop a relationship with the farmers.
​
Longtime fans of Ghost Machine’s legendary creators, the Scholls seized the opportunity to visit the Ghost Machine booth at last month’s Megacon Orlando. “Tony and I are super excited to work with Ghost Machine. These guys are our heroes,” said Tanya Scholl. “I’ve been studying their art and enjoying their stories for the past 15+ years. They are by far some of the absolute best creators DC and Image has ever had; and to see them continue on with their own titles is so exciting. I’m honored to be the fuel for their next journey!”

In PLANETOID: PRAXIS, the inhabitants of a distant planetoid have fought off their robot overlords and established a thriving settlement on the planetoid’s mechanized surface. Now, years later, their de facto leader, Onica, must grapple with a new complication when their isolated way of life is threatened by the arrival of an unexpected visitor.

PLANETOID: PRAXIS expands the world created in the first volume, but is a standalone story that can be enjoyed by fans of the first volume, or discovered by new readers interested in a thoughtful science-fiction story with political undertones.

Readers were first introduced to the PLANETOID world through Silas, an ex-soldier turned space pirate. Silas’ story of survival and resilience in a dystopian wasteland of roving cyborg militias, hostile aliens, and nomadic tribes resonated with critics at launch.

Ain’t It Cool News called PLANETOID “richly and beautifully illustrated.” Multiversity Comics praised Garing’s ability to write each short issue as though it were a fully-fleshed out journey for the reader. The series garnered recommendations from iFanboy, Kirkus Reviews, Bloody Disgusting, Crave Online, and others.

PLANETOID: PRAXIS #1 (Diamond Code DEC160672) hits stores on Wednesday, February 1st. The final order cutoff for comics retailers is Monday, January 9th.

Locke & Key has garnered both awards and acclaim during its five-year run. Following the titular Locke family as they encounter magic beyond belief and evils beyond redemption, Locke & Key quickly won over readers and has since become a staple in introducing new readers to the medium. With the series adapted in dozens of languages across the globe, and more than a million copies sold worldwide, Locke & Key is an obvious choice to make the transition to the screen.

New York Times bestselling author, Joe Hill, has continually captivated readers through his gripping novels and award-winning comic series. Bursting onto the scene with his debut collection of short stories 20th Century Ghosts, Hill has continued to thrill audiences with the novels, Heart-Shaped Box, N0S4A2, and Horns, adapted into a feature-length film in 2013, starring Daniel Radcliffe. His forthcoming novel The Fireman debuts later this month. In addition to Locke & Key, his comic series The Cape, Thumbprint, Wraith, and the upcoming series Tales From The Darkside, have all been published by IDW.

“I love this story,” said Hill. “The seven years I spent working on Locke & Key was the happiest creative experience of my life and there still isn’t a day when I don’t think about those characters and miss visiting with them. The six books of the series are very like six seasons of a cable TV series and so it feels only natural to bring that world to the little screen and to see if we can’t scare the pants off viewers everywhere.”

Ted Adams and David Ozer from IDW Entertainment, and David Alpert and Rick Jacobs from Circle of Confusion (The Walking Dead) will serve as executive producers along with Joe.

“Having Joe at the helm of the pilot ensures that the series will hold true to the brand that fans around the world have come to love. Locke & Key is a true global franchise”, said David Ozer, President of IDW Entertainment.

IDW Entertainment is developing Locke & Key as a straight to series and will maintain worldwide rights to the project.

Best known for her collaboration with Jillian Tamaki on This One Summer, Mariko Tamaki brings a new voice and mission for Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series, which follows the iconic adventurer through a new set of challenges, exotic locations, and—of course—tombs.

“Mariko Tamaki’s writing is impactful and emotionally resonant,” said series editor Patrick Thorpe. “When I was researching her work for Tomb Raider, I read This One Summer cover to cover and said to myself, ‘That was perfect.’ Since becoming an editor, I don’t know that I’ve ever said that.”

“I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to write up some adventures for Lara Croft. I feel like I’ve just gotten this new, incredibly daring, strong, valiant friend, and now I get to think up super-cool stuff for her to do,” said Mariko Tamaki. “And she has to take me with her. And we can go anywhere, and do anything? Right?! What could be better than that?”

The new Tomb Raider hits stands February 2016.

“Everyone remembers their FIRST Spider-Man comic,” says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso. “SPIDEY aims to be perfect as someone’s first Spider-Man comic, or their one thousandth. We’re not looking to re-tell stories here. What Robbie [Thompson] and Nick [Bradshaw] have put together is an exciting new take on Spider-Man at his arguably most iconic incarnation, and will feel fresh to new and old fans alike.”

Class is in session as two of the hottest creators in comics take Peter back to school for a classic and iconic take on the Spider-Man mythology. Familiar faces and new characters populate Peter Parker’s world as he balances his double life as a high school student and the high-flying, web-swinging new hero Spider-Man!

“Out of the 700+ issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN” shares Spider-Man Editor Nick Lowe, “Peter Parker was only in high school for thirty issues! Stan and Steve covered a lot, but there’s a lot of the high school and early super hero experience still on the table.”

Iconic villains, a classic supporting cast, the ol’ Parker Luck and more are back! Don’t miss one moment of these bombastic new adventures as Thompson and Bradshaw create a legend of their own when SPIDEY #1 comes to comic shops later this year!

“We are excited to be teaming up with Dynamite Entertainment to bring a modern twist to a classic series of comics and table top books that are rich with historic art,” said Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer, Atari, Inc. “Atari’s roots in the comic book world and iconic art is a collector and video game enthusiast’s dream. Our partnership is a fun way to expose our brand to a new generation and resonate with our long-time fans.”

Atari was originally founded in 1972 and was a pioneer in arcade games and home video game consoles. The company’s products, such as Pong and the Atari 2600 helped define the electronic entertainment industry from the 1970s to the mid-1980s, and beyond.

“Atari is a touchstone for so many people,” says Dynamite Director of Business Development Rich Young. “Their games and game system exposed a lot of folks to video games for the first time…and frankly, got them hooked! I have fond memories of playing games on the 2600 with friends growing up, and am quite happy that we have a chance to work with Atari on this publishing program.”

In addition to the hardcover retrospective art book, Dynamite has plans to create new comics based on a select list of Atari properties that help reimagine games with new story and art from some of today’s best creators. The list includes Asteroids, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Missile Command, Tempest, Yar’s Revenge, and more. Dynamite also plans to reprint existing comics material, such as the Atari Force comics that were originally published from 1982-1986 and featured well known and impressive talent such as Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas, Ross Andru, Gil Kane, Dick Giordano, Mike DeCarlo, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Eduardo Barreto, and Mike Baron.

Dynamite Entertainment’s Atari art book, comic books, and graphic novels will be available to consumers through the comic book specialty market, and the graphic novel collection will be available at major bookstore chains, online booksellers, and independent bookstores courtesy of Diamond Book Distributors. Atari comics will also be available for purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital. Fans and retailers are encouraged to follow Dynamite Entertainment and Atari’s official social media channel for the latest updates regarding creative teams and release dates.

Within the Warzones! of Secret Wars, a brand new team will lead the way. A-Force Assemble! Marvel Comics reimagines the Marvel Universe in one of the largest shake-ups to the Avengers mythos.

So who are the Marvel powerhouses taking center stage? “She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and other fan favorites, will take charge,” says series co-writer G. Willow Wilson. “We’ve purposefully assembled a team composed of different characters from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies.”

And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest heroines found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, A-Force was born—to fight the foes no single Super Hero could withstand! Their glory will never been denied! Heed the call, A-Force Assemble!

Taking place immediately after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, the Force returns to Marvel in January with three new series spotlighting beloved characters from the iconic trilogy! Created in close partnership with Lucasfilm, the three new Star Wars series will exist as part of the canon for the Star Wars universe!

It all starts this January when Jason Aaron, John Cassaday and Laura Martin take fans back to the days following the destruction of the first Death Star in STAR WARS! Discussing the flagship series, writer Jason Aaron tells Marvel.com, “Every story is about the characters, and we’ll focus on all the old favorites. There will be big moments for everyone, from Han to R2-D2. But a major part of the narrative will be driven by Luke Skywalker and his journey of discovery, a journey that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy.”

However, the return of the Rebel Alliance to Marvel Comics also invites the return of its opposition, the Imperial Forces of the Galactic Empire and in February 2015, Kieron Gillen plans to delve into the psyche of one of the vilest villains of all time with the new ongoing series DARTH VADER. Witness the struggle for the freedom of an entire galaxy – from the Dark Side!

“Vader’s the sole survivor of the greatest military disaster in history – and a disaster that he definitely had a hand in by letting the rebels escape with the plans for the Death Star. This is not a thing which leaves you in anybody’s good books, let alone the Emperor’s,” says writer Kieron Gillen. “The great thing about this period [between Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back] is what we don’t see on the screen. Vader learns who Luke Skywalker is at some point between the two movies, to choose but one example.”

Then, in March 2015, Mark Waid & Terry Dodson bring you the harrowing tale of loss and hope in the 5-issue limited series PRINCESS LEIA! Fresh from the Rebel Alliance’s victory at the Battle of Yavin, Leia must confront the reality that her homeworld has been destroyed. But in the light of such tragedy, there is always hope. Skilled equally with diplomacy as she is a blaster, witness the rise of one of the greatest heroines in history as she takes her rightful place as one of the Alliance’s peerless leaders!

“Does she choose to be a Princess of nothing – or does she set out to rebuild her heritage and civilization?” says writer Mark Waid.

Again, the world of Luke, Han, Chewbacca, Leia and even Vader make their historic return to the House of Ideas beginning next year! Take your first step into a larger world with STAR WARS #1, DARTH VADER #1 and PRINCESS LEIA #1 in 2015!

This August, IDW Publishing will release a multi-disc DVD set that presents the entire DIGITAL AUDIO/VISUAL EXPERIENCE of High Society in a unique multi-media format. The Cerebus: High Society Digital Audio/Visual Experience has Dave Sim reading every issue in character—complete with accompanying music and sound effects—while motion effects applied to the story art present the material like you’ve never seen it before. Each issue also includes a section of full Editorial Comments from Sim, giving fans a virtual guided tour of this masterpiece.

“With the restoration of the High Society graphic novel now dragging on into its 3rd year—and no end in sight—it’s Justin Eisinger and IDW to the rescue with Cerebus: High Society Digital Audio/Visual Experience DVD set! Thanks guys!” said Dave Sim.

“Cerebus means so many things to so many readers, it really is a monumental work of our times,” said Justin Eisinger, IDW’s Senior Editor Books. “Having the opportunity to work with Dave and his team to bring this High Society set to life—and in this form—is a special experience that we’ll never forget. The creator PERFORMING the story?! It’s a hell of a thing.”

Originally brought to life through the magic of Kickstarter, the HIGH SOCIETY DIGITAL AUDIO/VISUAL EXPERIENCE is a must-experience for all fans of Cerebus.

“I love working with IDW. I love the people there, and am always in awe of their commitment to quality,” says CHEW creator John Layman. “We’re gonna do everything we can to make the CHEW game every bit as awesome as the rest of IDW’s stuff. I’m excited and grateful for this opportunity, and Rob [Guillory] and I are going to be deeply involved in this thing– every step of the way!”

The CHEW game line will feature a smorgasbord of play options from board to card to dice games, each title being a stand-alone experience designed to whet fans’ appetites, whether they be a gaming novice or a connoisseur. IDW Games will be tapping top game designing talent to develop each game in the series, and Layman and Guillory will stay involved on the creative side to ensure the look and feel of each game is in line with the highly stylized, quirky world they’ve created.

“IDW has always loved working with John Layman and Rob Guillory,” says IDW’s Director of Business Development Jerry Bennington. “CHEW has grown into an amazing project, and we’re excited to bring it to the fans in a brand-new way. We’re looking forward to putting Tony Chu in all kinds of bad positions, and letting fans step in to save the day.”

Look for Chew to hit stores in early 2015.

IDW Publishing has been known for the quality and care given to some of the most beloved all-ages properties, and Skylanders is no different. The videogame sensation is making the leap to the pages of comics this July, debuting at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2014. Skylanders #0 features an introductory 16-page story as well as character guides and additional back-up information. The issue will be launched in both print and digital during SDCC weekend.

“We are thrilled to be combining Skylanders, the pioneer of the toys to life video game genre, with IDW, one of the industry’s leading comic-book publishers in the U.S.,” said Ashley Maidy, vice president of global licensing and partnerships at Activision. “The comic-book series will offer fans a glimpse into the backstories of their favorite Skylanders characters, expanding on the universe that they’ve embraced so enthusiastically in the franchise’s short history. To explore the world of Skylands beyond the game is an opportunity we know our fans have long been awaiting, and we couldn’t be more excited to see this manifested through a comic series.”

Skylanders will also join IDW’s successful Micro Comic Fun Packs line-up this fall and will be available in comic-book stores as well as mass-market retailers this October. Distribution is expected in the following territories: United States, Canada, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand.

“The idea behind creating a Skylanders comic book series resonates strongly with us on so many levels – the storyline and audience appeals to the comic book world and feels like a seamless relationship,” says David Hedgecock, IDW’s Managing Editor and Editor of the Skylanders series. “We’re honored to be the publisher of choice to introduce the world of Skylanders into the comic-book landscape.”
