Marvel Comics has announced the return of Timeless this December, the special year-ending one-shot that sets the stage for upcoming stories in the Marvel Universe.
Joined by acclaimed artist Juann Cabal, writing team Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing will be taking over writing duties from Jed MacKay. In this one-shot, the Guardians of the Galaxy scribes will introduce readers to yet another of the Marvel Universe's possible post-apocalyptic timelines.
In a world that’s been doomed by the hubris of its heroes, only one battle remains. Fans will witness the final struggle of Earth’s only surviving superhero as he sets out to end the rule of a cruel god-like being that’s been shaped by some of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe.
Like previous instalments of Timeless, this ambitious saga will also contain shocking glimpses into the next year of Marvel storytelling including the very events that kick off the inevitable chain of events that led to the end of the Age of Heroes.
In a devastating future born from the choices of today, all of time and space are threatened by the ascension of an ancient evil. The Immortal Moon Knight has risen - a nightmare borne of StarkTech, the Eternal Machine, and the God of the Moon - and now all of Earth bows before his overwhelming power. But one man stands against Khonshu's coming tide of chaos: Power Man, the Marvel Universe's final living superhero.
But who is Power Man - and how did he come to wield the unstable powers of the Sentry, the Hulk, and the Iron Fist? What dark, deeply personal conflict underpins this mind-bending apocalypse? And at the end of the line, can the Marvel Universe ever truly be saved?
We're definitely intrigued to see where this story is heading, and it's always fun to see Luke Cage put front and centre in stories as big as this one.
Below, you can get a first look at both Power Man and the Immortal Moon Knight on Kael Ngu's gorgeous cover. As for Timeless #1 2023, that arrives in comic book stores this December.
