This is Comic Book Club News for June 4, 2025.
DC Comics will collect Len Wein and Kelley Jones’ Swamp Thing, including Wein’s final story before his passing.
Per ICv2, Swamp Thing by Len Wein and Kelley Jones: The Deluxe Edition will run 432 pages and contain issues from — of course — Swamp Thing — as well as Batman, the Winter Special, and a two-issue series tying into the Convergence event, which kicked off Wein and Jones’s partnership in 2015.
The book will cost $49.99, and will hit stores on October 21, 2025.
While you wait for Marvel to finally get around to finishing their adaptation of Rise of Skywalker, Dark Horse is already announcing Star Wars: The Sequel Trilogy, an entirely different combined graphic novel adaptation of the adventures of Rey, Poe Dameron, Finn, and all the rest.
Written by Alessandro Ferrari with art by Ingo Römling, the all-ages adaptation will cover The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker.
Said Lucasfilm Publishing Creative Director Michael Siglain via press release, “We’re excited to have Dark Horse collect the all-ages adaptations of the sequel trilogy for the first time, and just in time for the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens. With its signature stylization, this collection is a great way for kids and fans of all ages to relive the adventures of Rey, Finn, and Poe—or even experience them for the first time.”
The 194-page Star Wars: The Sequel Trilogy hits bookstores on November 11, and comic book stores on November 12, 2025.
Jack Kirby is the indisputable king of comics. But what the new Image Comics one-shot The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible presupposes is: what if Jack Kirby was the indisputable king of comics? Oh, sorry, usually you’re supposed to present a differing take here, but the comic by writer Mário Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira instead offers a fictionalized tribute to the King, imagining if he had lived past age 76.
In the book, “Jack King” is in a care home, and “suffering from extreme fatigue and lack of motivation.” When Mike, a young orderly, enters his life, he’ll help Jack restore his library, and together they discover “the sinister pestilence lurking on its shelves.” Is it black mold? You’ll just have to read to find out.
Said Freitas, “This book is huge. In format. In scope. In ambition. Just like Jack did. But this is not a biography. It is more of a classic ‘what if?’ scenario: what if Jack Kirby had lived well beyond the age of 76? What if he had survived his Roz; if he had spent his last years in a care home, reunited with his old creative pals from the days of the ‘House of Ideas’.”
The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible hits comic book stores on August 27.
