2026 has already been a banner year for Marvel Studios, with massive new releases on the big and small screen. Marvel has unleashed several successful Disney Plus shows, like Wonder Man and Daredevil: Born Again, but after news broke last week that the studio is scaling back on live-action content, fans can expect more animated shows like X-Men ‘97 going forward. Marvel, in collaboration with Sony, has found extraordinary box office success with the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has already put together over $2 billion at the global box office in less than three weeks. This box office success is expected to continue later in the year with the premiere of Avengers: Doomsday, which is already outpacing Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man movie in ticket pre-sales.
While fans have been pleased with Marvel’s output in theaters and on Disney Plus this year, Marvel Comics fans have also had plenty to be excited about. This afternoon, Marvel gave comic readers even more to look forward to later this year by announcing a new five-issue series, Incursions, which will harken back to the advent of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić’s original Secret Wars, revealing untold battles from the Marvel multiverse’s final days. The series will begin with X-Men: Incursions #1 by Alex Paknadel and Jim Towne and continue with Spider-Man: Incursions #1 from Christos Gage. The third issue in the series will be Fantastic Four: Incursions #1 from Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Paco Medina, with the penultimate issue coming in X-Men ‘92: Incursions #1 by Chris Yost and Craig Kyle. Closing things out for Marvel’s new Incursions storyline, at least for now, is Avengers: Incursions #1 by Al Ewing and Fran Mariscal Mancilla.
What Are Marvel’s New ‘Incursions’ Comics About?
The official description of the new five-issue series titledIncursions reads as follows: ‘In each one-shot, worlds from Marvel history collide, with only one left standing. Fans will journey across a wide range of universes from Marvel storytelling, including classic eras, alternate timelines and beloved media adaptations. It was the catastrophe that led to the end of both the Ultimate and Marvel Universes and birthed the conflict known as Secret Wars, but not every story of those dark days has been told!’ The first chapter in the newIncursions storyline, centering around theX-Men, will be released inNovember 2026.
