I saw this yesterday and really am not certain if I am excited for it or not. A comic makes me concerned since Disney owns Marvel and if 40k gets streamlined into something more popular it might be good for the industry in a whole, but not something I would every pick up to purchase. We will see.
This type of announcement should have some with something a little more tangible.
Here is the announcement.

Yeah, you read that right. Games Workshop and Marvel are collaborating to create Warhammer comics! Even better, the first comics are due to land in autumn 2020. Yeah, we know – it’s super rad.
As everyone knows,* Marvel Comics are the name behind many of the world’s best-loved super hero characters (you know, like Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four). With more than 80 years of comics experience, Marvel has built an amazing reputation for bringing together the best comic book writers and artists to forge stories that span generations. It’s not for nothing that Marvel has cemented itself as a household name.
- Our artist’s impression of how you’ll look reading these comics. Power armour optional.
We haven’t got any more details we can share right now (we like to imagine that, even as we write, super-cool clandestine meetings are being conducted in a hidden lair somewhere) but, rest assured, as soon as there’s more information, we’ll be bringing it to you right here.
In the meantime, why not head over to the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages and share which subjects, heroes or places from Warhammer you’d like to see brought to life in the pages of a Marvel comic.**
