As part of yesterday’s Lucasfilm Publishing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that Indiana Jones will make his grand return to comic books this December with Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium, a five-issue limited series from Marvel Comics, writer Jason Aaron and artist Aaron Kuder.
“I’ve wanted to adventure alongside Indiana Jones since I was 8 years old, to climb through ancient crypts and run for my life in exotic locales, to seek the world’s most fabled treasures. Now here I am, feeling the same sort of joy I felt in 2015, when we launched Star Wars #1,” said Aaron. “This is the Indy of Raiders of the Lost Ark, fresh off his harrowing experience on the island of Geheimhaven. Dark events were set in motion that day, strange new enemies have risen from the shadows, and for Indy and Marion Ravenwood the globe-trotting, punching, whip-cracking, and death-defying escapades, not to mention the archaeology, have just begun.”
In the wake of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy’s most notorious villains, including the impossible return of an archenemy, seek a terrifying new source of power to recoup their loss—one that’s fallen into the hands of his former companion, Marion Ravenwood. Now, Indiana Jones has to race to the far corners of the globe in search of a biblical weapon, embarking on an epic quest that will put both his archeology skills and skepticism of the supernatural to the ultimate test!
Alongside the announcement, several covers for Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1 were also unveiled, with Bryan Hitch’s main cover joined by variants from Aaron Kuder (the first of a five-part connecting cover) and Alex Ross; check those out here…
Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1 will go on sale on December 9th.
