The creator of Marvel Studios Has partnered with experienced comic creators to produce EcosRepeating a hero that was introduced twenty years ago. A new world is about to begin, and may be one of the most anticipated comic projects of the year because of its possible impact. Ecos is set to become a cinematic universe in its own right, but Screen Rant is excited to present an exclusive look at the cover art for the independent issues of the upcoming graphic novel.
David Maisel is the founder of Marvel Studios, having funded and produced the media behemoth. He was an integral part of kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has seen tremendous success since Marvel Films rebranded with an innovative vision. He has since left the company, but carries his love of comics into his latest work.
A glimpse of Ecos was revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2024, which will begin with Ekos Vol. 1A graphic novel. This will be ahead of what is intended to be a multimedia project and a new cinematic universe.

Ekos Vol. 1 Has the creative team of JT Krul, Alex Konat, Peter Steigerwald, Mark Roslan and Josh Reed. The story was inspired by the work of Geoff Johns and Michael Turner. The project will be launched Kickstarter campaign Soon, which will feature cover art from all-star artists. Screen Rant has an exclusive look at Joe Quesada’s cover, seen above.

Ekos introduces a new superstar in Grell, who embarks on a journey to discover the world of Ekos. Along his journey, Grell meets many of the beloved characters from Michael Turner’s legacy, including superstars Aspen (Fathom) and Grace (Soulfire), as they join forces with Grell on a shared mission. This is the first time the characters have all come together in the same universe.
Ecos is set to start a multimedia cinematic universe that will include films and television series. This comes as a result of a partnership between Mythos Studios and Aspen Comics. Several Aspen Comics characters will be part of the effort and will interact with each other for the first time. The project brings back creators who worked on the original stories inspiring the recent Universal Shift, including Krul (Soulfire) and Conat (Padam), and Steigerwald, who worked on both series. The graphic novel is expected to release in November, but fans will have a chance to have it in individual issues.

Ecos Was previously teased back in 2003, but as a full comic series did not come to full fruition until much later, after the death of Michael Turner. Now, the concepts and characters are set to return, but with a new vision ahead. A different story is ahead of the hero, probably due to the crossover potential present in the upcoming comics’ world, thanks to the presence of additional Aspen Comics’ characters. This ambitious endeavor will usher in a new era for Aspen with Joe Quesada’s cover being one of the many stunning options available to supporters of this upcoming project.
Comic fans can support Ekos Vol. 1 On Kickstarter Beginning September 17.
