IDW Publishing has announced the upcoming launch of Marvel Action: Chillers, a bi-weekly miniseries from writer Jeremy Whitley (Unstoppable Wasp) featuring the characters of Doctor Strange and Ironheart, which promises to send shivers up our spines when it launches this October.
Each issue of Chillers features a framing story starring Doctor Strange and Ironheart, with a second tale focusing on spooky adventures involving Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone, and more. The series features a number of artists includes Ahmara Smith, Bowen McCurdy, and Bill Underwood, with Marvel Action: Captain Marvel artist providing covers.
“Marvel characters have an incredibly long and colorful history in horror stories, from the traditional Marvel Monsters, to Werewolf By Night, to Tomb of Dracula. Those were all titles that I loved growing up, and getting to introduce young readers to the world of spooky Marvel characters is an honor and a privilege. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re cooking up,” says Whitley.
“IDW is excited to create a Marvel Action take on Marvel’s horror characters for younger audiences,” says editor Elizabeth Brei. “The diverse cast of characters, featuring classic Marvel heroes like Doctor Strange as well as relatively new additions to the universe like Nadia Van Dyne, is brought to the page by an equally diverse and incredibly talented group of creators. We can’t wait to share these creepy tales with everyone.”
Marvel Action: Chillers will launch in October.
