Indiana Jones makes his comeback in the comics with Marvel’s The Sword of Pandemonium.

      During yesterday's Lucasfilm Publishing panel at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that Indiana Jones will make his spectacular comeback to comic books this December with "Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium," a limited five-issue series from Marvel Comics, featuring writer Jason Aaron and artist Aaron Kuder.

      "I’ve dreamed of going on adventures with Indiana Jones since I was 8, exploring ancient tombs and escaping danger in thrilling locations, all in pursuit of legendary treasures. Now, I’m experiencing the same excitement I felt in 2015 when we debuted Star Wars #1," stated Aaron. "This adventure features the Indy from Raiders of the Lost Ark, fresh from his intense experience on the island of Geheimhaven. That day triggered dark events, as new and formidable foes emerged from the depths, and for Indy and Marion Ravenwood, the globe-trotting escapades filled with punches, whip-cracking, and life-or-death challenges—along with the archaeology—are just getting underway."

      Following the events of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy’s most infamous adversaries, including the unexpected return of a primary nemesis, are searching for a terrifying new source of power to regain what they lost—one that is now in the possession of his former ally, Marion Ravenwood. Consequently, Indiana Jones must embark on a global race to uncover a biblical weapon, setting out on an epic journey that will challenge both his archaeological expertise and his skepticism regarding the supernatural!

      In addition to the announcement, several covers for "Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1" were revealed, featuring the main cover by Bryan Hitch and variants by Aaron Kuder (the first in a five-part connecting cover) and Alex Ross; you can view them here...

      "Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium #1" will be released on December 9th.
