After the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic delayed months-worth of its new releases, Marvel Comics is finally returning to stores. To celebrate, several creators appeared in a video on Marvel's YouTube channel to encourage fans to pick up the new releases.
The creators involved include Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, writers Leah Williams, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Tini Howard, Gerry Dugan and Matthew Rosenberg, and artists Greg Land, Iban Coello, Declan Shalvey, Rachelle Rosenberg, Carmen Carnero, Pepe Larraz, Mark Brooks, Humberto Ramos and Javier Garron. "It's a really weird world outside our window these days," Cebulski said. "But I just know that the heart and the heroism you find in the pages of Marvel Comics is going to brighten all of our days."
In March, Diamond Comic Distributors decided to halt distribution in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and later confirmed it planned to start shipping new products in mid-to-late May. DC, meanwhile, chose to utilize other distributors to send out its products. In any case, comic retailers, creators,and fans will be more than happy to see new Marvel comics on the shelves.
Marvel comics on sale Wednesday, May 27 include Venom #25, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #1, Avengers #33 and Marauders #10.
