Overview
- The announcement, which ran June 9–10, confirmed five weekly one‑shots scheduled for September 2026 with issues dated September 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30.
- Writers Joe and Jack Kelly and artist Kenny Ruiz will bookend the event with Web of Blood (9/2) and Web of Destiny (9/30) while Cody Ziglar, Ashley Allen, and Alyssa Wong lead the middle issues for Iron Knight, Arcane Avengers, and Ghostlocke.
- Marvel provided short synopses showing a linked apocalypse thread driven by the return of the Phoenix that starts in Web of Blood and culminates in Web of Destiny while each one‑shot also focuses on a single character or team.
- The project is curated by editor Lauren Amaro and presented as an explicit tribute to manga, with main covers by mangaka Yuji Kaku and creators calling the line a deliberate manga‑influenced reinvention rather than an ongoing relaunch.
- The return revives Marvel’s alternate Mangaverse continuity from the early 2000s and could broaden Marvel’s reach by testing manga storytelling and art styles in a limited, high‑profile event that will be followed by normal pre‑order and retail windows.
