New York, NY— April 24, 2025 — Marvel’s greatest supervillains steal the spotlight this June in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS, a new seven-part saga celebrating the nearly 50 year legacy of the groundbreaking BRING ON THE BAD GUYS trade paperback. The event begins this June in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DOOM #1 by Emmy Award-winning writer Marc Guggenheim and acclaimed artist Stefano Raffaele. Today, fans can learn more about the next three BRING ON THE BAD GUYS chapters, on sale this July: BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: GREEN GOBLIN #1, BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: ABOMINATION #1, and BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: LOKI #1.
The saga comes from a lineup of superstar creators, spearheaded by Guggenheim who will write the opening and closing chapters along with a backup story in each issue shedding light on Mephisto’s overarching scheme and the mysterious new villain SISTER SORROW!
In BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: GREEN GOBLIN #1, Eisner-nominated writing duo Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan and rising star artist Matteo Della Fonte reveal an all-new piece of Norman Osborn’s villainous history! The Green Goblin is one of the most terrifying villains in the Marvel universe – thanks to a deal with Mephisto. But what does the Soul Forge have to do with it?
Then, two superstar creators—writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Sergio Dávila—team up in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: ABOMINIATION #1! Emil Blonsky is never one to turn down a good deal. Whether it’s to fell the mighty Grootslang in exchange for his freedom from a Wakandan prison, or to collect a soul on behalf of Mephisto for a mystery boon. The Abomination is always the monster for the job, and he’s going to prove it once and for all.
And, discover who gets the last laugh in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: LOKI #1 by acclaimed writer Anthony Oliveira. Loki is the God of Mischief. Mephisto is the Lord of Lies. In a centuries-old battle of wits, Loki needs of a favor, and in exchange, Mephisto commands him to retrieve a soul – one belonging to an agent of Khonshu. But no one tells Loki what to do.
“Marvel broke the mold with supervillains, pushing them past the archetypical to the complex and some even morally gray but still to be feared,” Editor Mark Paniccia added. “Each of these one-shots are an opportunity for fans to see what makes these villains some of the most dangerous characters in the Marvel Universe.”
