Indiana Jones is returning… in comics form.
Revealed at the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con is “Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium,” a new five-issue Marvel limited series by writer Jason Aaron and artist Aaron Kuder.
The comic title is said to launch an all-new era of comic book adventures for the iconic archaeologist.
Set in the wake of “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 scepticism of the supernatural to the ultimate test!
Along with the new title, it has also been revealed that the beloved 1980s Marvel Comics sagas involving the character are getting reprinted as two-volume deluxe hardcovers releasing in September.
The first hardcover collection includes Marvel Super Special (1977) #18 and #30, which adapt “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” as well as “The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones” (1983) #1-16.
The second collection collates “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) #1-4 and “The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones” (1983) #17-34.
