One of the more unusual and unexpected series of the Secret Wars event was that of Weirdworld, which is getting its own ongoing series now that the main event is over. The new series is set to land on December 16th, 2016 with the first issue coming from writer Sam Humphries (Legendary Star-Lord) and artist Mike Del Mundo, who did the artwork for the event miniseries. The book continues to play in an odd field that Marvel usually doesn’t with “swords, sorcery, rocket launchers and all manner of oddities firmly planted in the All-New Marvel Universe!”
Check out the finalized cover, some unlettered preview pages, and the variant covers below.
Plot concept: Meet Becca, an ordinary teenage girl trapped in an extraordinary world. Stranded in Weirdworld and separated from all she knows, her mission is clear – GET HOME ALIVE! Easier said than done. Crystal Warriors! Wizardslayers with muscle cars! Catbeasts that spit fire! The queen of sinister sorcery Morgan Le Fay! All this and more await Becca around every corner. Can she make it home in one piece? Or is she Weirdworld’s newest permanent resident?
Strap in and hang on tight as the newest corner of the Marvel Universe comes alive before your very eyes as Humphries and Del Mundo plunge you headlong into WEIRDWORLD #1 this December!
