SPENCER - from aiptcomis.com:J.M. DeMatteis to write ‘Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin’ in 2024
“Marvel Comics has revealed J.M. DeMatteis will return with a new four-issue miniseries Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin coming this April. The first issue is out on April 3, DeMatteis is joined by artist Michael Sta.”
“‘I’ve always been fascinated with Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man, a time before he fully understood what it meant to be a super hero,’ DeMatteis shared. ‘SHADOW OF THE GOBLIN allows us to take a deep dive into Young Peter’s mind and emotions as he makes his way through this exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying, new world. We take an equally-deep dive into the dysfunctional dynamic of the Osborn family, seeing how that generational pain sowed the earliest seeds of Norman’s Green Goblin identity and left its traumatic imprint on Harry. If you think you know everything there is to know about Peter and the Osborns, think again!’

“DC Comics has announced the latest addition to their Black Label line of books. Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins will team for The Bat-Man: First Knight, a three-issue series reimagining some of the dark knight’s earliest cases.”
“Here’s how DC describes The Bat-Man: First Knight:”“The year is 1939. The world, still reeling from the horrors of the First World War, is on the brink of tipping into an even more gruesome conflict, as fascism is on the march—and gathering strength in America’s darkest corners. Against this backdrop, a series of violent murders has begun in Gotham, and the recent emergence of the mysterious vigilante known as The Bat-Man has the power brokers of the city living in fear of institutional collapse. All of the evidence in the murder investigation defies logic: the perpetrators are all men who died in the electric chair. But when the Bat-Man comes face to face with one of these sickening anomalies, he barely escapes with his life—throwing into question his ability to survive in a world that is brutally evolving around him!”“The Bat-Man: First Knight #1 (of 3) is set to hit stores and digitally on Tuesday, March 5th, 2024.”https://www.comicsbeat.com/the-bat-man-first-knight-dc-black-label/

JACOB - from dc.comDC Just Revealed Batman's Surprising Connection to Santa Claus
“The issue follows Batman, Zatanna, and the Bat-Family's investigation of a string of holiday-themed killings, which they believe are caused by some sort of supernatural creature. The ruckus draws the connection of Santa Claus, who rides in on a reindeer to help. Santa and Batman quickly exchange pleasantries, as the latter reveals that he trained under Santa during his globe-trotting quest for knowledge. While he doesn't get into the specifics, he reveals that some of Santa's tricks are things he still uses today. This revelation surprises the Bat-Family, who either didn't know about this connection or who (in the case of Nightwing) thought it was just a fun bit of folklore.”

The Sentry's Return to the Marvel Universe Leads to an Unsolved Mysteries Case (Exclusive)
“Jessica Jones and Misty Knight investigate unsolved mysteries involving The Sentry in a preview of the hero's new series. Sentry has a rather unique backstory when it comes to Marvel heroes, having been introduced in the early 2000s during Marvel's resurgence in popularity. Sentry, aka Bob Reynolds, used to wield the power of one million exploding suns and was a member of the Avengers, but he also has a violent past when influenced by his evil side, The Void. Sentry is currently dead, but as you'll see in an exclusive preview of The Sentry #1, people across the planet have started popping up with his power set.”
“ComicBook.com has the exclusive preview of The Sentry #1 by Jason Loo, Luigi Zagaria, Arthur Hesli, and VC's Joe Caramagna. It begins with Misty Knight and Jessica Jones onsite of a superhuman event, with a building leveled and its occupants barely escaping with their lives. When pressed, the witnesses revealed their apartments were hit by laser beams, with a person crashing through the ceiling and bringing the building down. Somehow, all the residents woke up to find themselves outside the rubble. Next, a woman comes out to say that her roommate Mallory Gibbs, who has cerebral palsy, may be trapped.”
“Jessica Jones and Misty Knight begin looking for Mallory but find no trace of her. Misty mentions that a few days ago satellites picked up an energy spike in Columbus, OH that matched Sentry's. Similar to this incident, that one resulted in a neighborhood blown up and an 18-year-old named Ryan Topper also missing. The only piece of the puzzle is Sentry is supposed to be dead following the King in Black event.”
“To end the preview, we see Mallory Gibbs tinkering with a Spider-Man pen when she starts to have flashbacks to events in Sentry's past, like his battle with the Hulk and the Siege of Broxton, OK. Next thing Mallory knows, she soars out of her home and comes crashing down inside a laundry mat.”
The MCU's Sentry revealed to be Steven Yeun
“The Sentry is rumored to be the main villain of Thunderbolts, one of several films set to debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Steven Yeun (Invincible, The Walking Dead) has been cast in Thunderbolts, but his role has been kept a secret – at least until Robert Kirkman spoiled the news that Yeun will be playing Sentry.”
"’He called me, he went in for a costume fitting,’ Kirkman told David Finch while a guest on the artist's YouTube channel. ‘I don't think this is a spoiler, or anything that will get anybody in trouble. I don't know, maybe, we'll see. I don't care, I don't work for Marvel. What are they going to do to me? He called me and said, 'I just came back from a costume fitting for Sentry. I guess I only do superheroes that wear yellow and blue.'" Steven Yeun also voices Mark Grayson/Invincible in the Prime Video adult-animated series Invincible, which Kirkman is a creator on.”
“The exclusive preview of The Sentry #1 is below. The issue goes on sale Wednesday, December 6th.”https://comicbook.com/comics/news/the-sentry-marvel-universe-return-new-series-jessica-jones-misty-knight-mcu/
