There was plenty of comic book news spinning out of San Diego Comic-Con, but among the biggest announcements was the reveal that Marvel Studios co-founder David Maisel is spearheading a new shared universe called Ekos. Launched in conjunction with Aspen Comics and inspired by the work of the late Michael Turner and former DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, Ekos aims to be the next big shared universe in comics. Ekos will make its debut in the form of a graphic novel called Ekos Vol. 1. The book will introduce a hero called Grell, while also setting the stage for a potential cast of hundreds. The creative team on Ekos Vol. 1 includes artist Alex Konat, colorist Peter Steigerwald, writer J.T. Krul, inker Mark Roslan, and letterer Josh Reed. The book features cover art by Joe Quesada, Alex Ross, David Mack, J Scott Campbell, and more. Ekos Vol. 1 will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter starting on September 10, 2024.
