Get your fedora and whip dusted off for an all-new five-issue Indiana Jones mini-series by Jason Aaron and Aaron Kuder this winter!
The first of hopefully many new comic book adventures is titled Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium and takes places directly after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark, with the Nazis pursuing a new object of power to make up for losing the lost Ark of the Covenant that just so happens to be in the hands of Marion Ravenwood.
“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,” Aaron said. “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.”
“I’m very excited to be on this book with Jason Aaron. Indie has always felt like he should be a staple of a comic book character,” Kuder added.
Look for the first issue at you local comic shop on December 9, with a main cover by Bryan Hitch and variant covers by Alex Ross (a homage to the original John Byrne cover for the first issue of Marvel’s The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones from 1983) and Kuder (the first of five variant connecting covers).
For those who can’t wait for the new Indy comics, Marvel is bringing back their original stories in September with the release of Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and Book II.
The two volume set collects the entire 34-issue series and the film adaptations of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
