April 16, Mt. Laurel, NJ: The brutal sword and sorcery mythos of Fire and Ice brings even more exciting comics action this summer with a brand-new series turning the spotlight to the fierce and mysterious Darkwolf, with creators Dan Panosian and Andrey Lunatik at the helm!

Born from the immortal imagination of master fantasy illustrator and painter Frank Frazetta and genius animation innovator Ralph Bakshi, the character of Darkwolf is one of the most memorable and signature parts of their historic team-up for Fire and Ice. The muscled warrior hides his true identity behind an iconic mask. Eventually, in the thick of the film’s plot, he crosses paths with Larn and Teegra, and fells Nekron by his own hands.

In this new series by Dan “Urban Barbarian” Panosian, readers will get to know — but not too much — the legendary Darkwolf before those events. It all begins when a mother and her twins flee the warlock who sired them. His lackeys are sent out to pursue them, at least until a fabled warrior descends from the mountains to unleash hell upon them. But saving them is only the beginning.

“Darkwolf is pure Frank Frazetta in its most raw and unfiltered form,” said writer Dan Panosian. “Wild, savage, and let loose upon a world as terrifying as he is!”

Panosian is joined by artist Andrey Lunatik, making his mainstream debut here. He brings his energetic ink-slinging style that perfectly matches the pulse-pounding adventures and combat of Darkwolf. 

The legend of Darkwolf begins here. It’s violent, mythic, and unrelenting. This is a fierce, visceral rebirth of a true barbarian force of nature. Readers will not want to miss this exhilarating epic!

With a lineage including Frazetta and Bakshi, every Fire and Ice comic has a tall task to live up to, with not only the interior art but also covers. Darkwolf is displayed in all his ferocious glory by Panosian himself, as well as Stjepan Šejić, Joe Jusko, Stuart Sayger, and Cary Nord. Both Jusko and Nord are legends within barbarian comics, and are complemented with more perfect fits for the genre.

Fire and Ice: Darkwolf adds to the growing lore for the franchise, with a flagship prequel comic, and specials focused on Teegra and Nekron to date, from creators including Bill Willingham, Leonardo Manco, Gabriele di Caro,
Geof Isherwood, and Frank Frazetta’s granddaughter Sara!

Eisner Award-winning writer Kelly Thompson continues a scorching hot run of Absolute Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and more by taking on a franchise she has cherished for years. She will not only be writing the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, but a companion Angel title, with further details on the latter to come.

“Buffy Summers is, in my opinion, one of the best modern heroes of science fiction/fantasy,” said Thompson. “The show was wildly inspirational for a young Kelly, and like so many things that feel very lucky in my life, I’m not sure I’m a writer today without encountering Buffy at the right moment. This idea for Buffy has been sitting with me for a long time – and so when the chance to grab both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel came along, I couldn’t resist trying it. I hope you guys will enjoy the ride — it comes from a place of deep love for the franchise – and I’ll try my best to be worthy of it.”

Artist Stephen Byrne has delighted readers with his inimitable style in titles including Justice League/Power Rangers, Wonder Twins, Green Arrow, and Mera: Tidebreaker. Another longtime Buffy fan can check out his character designs and an early sneak peek at the book.

Byrne added, “I’ve been a lifelong Buffyverse obsessive, and I’ve got the VHS boxsets and DVDs to prove it. Working on this comic with such a phenomenal writer is a surreal dream come true, and I still can’t quite believe it. I can’t wait for fans to see what Kelly has planned.”

The powerhouse duo are joined on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series by Eisner-nominated colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Jeff Eckleberry. Steering the ship is editor and packager Nate Cosby, one of the primary guides behind other chart-toppers like Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, ThunderCats, and more.

To mark this momentous occasion for Scoobies all over, Nate Cosby has assembled a gang of top-tier cover artists to present gorgeous visions of everyone’s favorite slayers. David Nakayama, Amanda Conner, Joshua “Sway” Swaby, and Juliet Nneka are among the first wave. Additionally, Dynamite is remastering the first-ever Buffy comic cover from 1998 by the legendary Arthur Adams.

Buffy collectors can also opt for a mystery blind bag, featuring three premium variant covers for the book selected randomly from a range of logo-less editions, line art presentations of art, and wholly original artwork exclusive to this offering, including covers by Byrne, Declan Shalvey, and more iconic covers by the likes of J. Scott Campbell.

New York, NY— April 17, 2026 — This summer, Peter Parker and Frank Castle take a walk down memory lane in PUNISHER VS. SPIDER-MAN, an all-new five-issue limited series detailing some of the duo’s earliest encounters in the Marvel Universe.

Taking place shortly after Punisher’s debut dust-up with Spider-Man in the pages of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #129, writer Dan Abnett (IMPERIAL GUARDIANS) and artist Matteo Della Fonte (NOVA: CENTURION) force Peter Parker and Frank Castle to set aside their differences for the greater good… until they inevitably turn on one another once again.

“I’m very happy to be writing these two characters in a head-to-head together, and to be revisiting the Punisher, a character I haven’t written since YEAR ONE in the nineties,” explains Abnett. “The series is a whole lot of fun and full of big action, and some genuine surprises as they learn stuff about each other for the first time. That’s the real joy of going back to this pivotal early point in continuity: there’s a freshness in their encounters and interactions that I think readers are really going to get a kick out of.”

THE PUNISHER AND SPIDER-MAN, two of the most notorious names in New York City, with very different approaches to making the Big Apple safer (or not, depending on who you ask!). Brought together by happenstance and forced to stay that way by an ally from Frank Castle’s past in need, will the web-slinger and the gunslinger be able to begrudgingly set aside their differences before they find themselves at one another’s throats?!

Check out the main cover for PUNISHER VS. SPIDER-MAN #1 by Jonas Scharf and a variant by Netho Diaz, plus interior pages by Matteo Della Fonte below. And for more early days Spider-Man vs. Punisher action, look for the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #129 FACSIMILE EDITION [NEW PRINTING] in comic shops this July.

Space Ghost Annual #2 lifts off this July, once again serving as an extra-sized, fun-filled capstone to the past dozen issues, aka “Season Two,” as well as teeing up teases for what’s to come next in the best-selling series from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
“The Hanna-Barbera Universe is about to get a whole lot bigger in the pages of Space Ghost,” said series writer David Pepose. “It’s been such an incredible gift to work on the galaxy’s greatest superheroes with my amazing collaborators Jonathan Lau, Andrew Dalhouse, and Taylor Esposito — and we’re only just getting started!

Pepose (Speed Racer, Captain Planet, Cable: Love & Chrome) continues his approach to the character and mythos that has been showered with praise for melding the original whimsical DNA of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon with pulse-pounding superhero storytelling.

The issue features covers by Lau, Bjorn Barends, Tom Raney, as well as superhero genre icon Jerry Ordway (Adventures of Superman, All-Star Squadron, Crisis on Infinite Earths).

New York, NY— April 15, 2026 — Big things come in small, furry packages… and this July, Rocket Raccoon sets out to prove it with a 50th anniversary one-shot: ROCKET RACCOON: ROCKET REWIND!

Buckle up and travel the stars as Rocket engages in over-the-top action and calamity across three all-new stories from a roster of titanic creators, including writers J.M. DeMatteis, Christos Gage, and MacKenzie Cadenhead and artists Shawn McManus, Todd Nauck, and Enid Balám, plus a re-presentation of Rocket’s debut tale from co-creators Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen.

“Fans of Rocket Raccoon are going to love this special featuring all-new stories that span through his bold, adventurous, and sassy career,” explains Editor Mark Pannicia. “I’m excited to include the first appearance of Rocky Raccoon. That’s right, old bean, in that story by legendary comic creators Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen, Rocket went by Rocky and inexplicably had a British accent. Wild and fun stuff!”

Follow the heavily armed rapscallion as he blazes new trails in locations both new and familiar across the following stories:

• Rocket Raccoon encounters a mysterious galactic book collector before coming face-to-face with the one-and-only Rocky Raccoon (wait, what?!) in a brain-bending tale from writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Shawn McManus.
• In “BoomShakaLaka,” MacKenzie Cadenhead and Enid Balám take Rocket to a paradise planet full of good vibes and an immensely powerful artifact that’s just begging to be stolen by a cybernetically enhanced creature with a bad attitude. Know anybody like that?
• Christos Gage and Todd Nauck set out to prove that size does matter in “The Fight in the Raccoon,” featuring an odd-couple team up of Hank Pym and Rocket as they fight back a massive invasion force in Sub-Atomica!
• Plus, the original debut of Rocket by Bill Mantlo and Keith Giffen!
