New York, NY— May 2, 2025 — This June, two industry titans reunite to present a groundbreaking vision of the Marvel mythos in MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME, a six-issue series by writer, artist and former Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada and writer Christopher Priest. Today, see what’s in store with a preview of the debut issue, on sale June 4.
In 1998, Quesada and Priest helped reignite the comic book industry and define Marvel storytelling for the 21st century with the Marvel Knights line. Now, over 25 years later, they bring fans a new chapter in Marvel Knights historic legacy. In development for years and already near full completion, MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME sees Quesada and Priest combine their decades of experience crafting masterful comic book sagas to produce an entire new future of the Marvel Universe. The story begins in Wakanda with startling developments centered around T’Challa, Storm, Shuri and more that will reverberate across the globe, changing the Marvel mythos as you know it and boldly reinventing its most legendary heroes.
The King of Wakanda is DEAD, leaving unguarded the world’s most advanced technology, most precious metal, and a cryptic vault of dark secrets while triggering global conflicts among Marvel’s heroes, villains and mutants. With T’Challa gone and the future of the Marvel Universe teetering on a vibranium knife’s edge, a tribal challenge ensues for the Wakandan throne, and its mysterious victor will emerge as the new leader of Wakanda and usher in THE WORLD TO COME.
“THE WORLD TO COME spans about 60 years,” Quesada revealed in a recent interview with CBR. “The one thing that Priest and I agreed on was to avoid making the future dark and dystopian. What if this were happening in a healthy, peaceful, and properly functioning future?”
