Check out all the covers for the highly anticipated saga MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME that takes readers into the future of the Marvel Universe.

The press release follows:

Media Release -- In 1998, the Marvel Knights line reignited the comic book industry and redefined Marvel storytelling for the 21st century. Now, over 25 years later, two of the imprint's key creators—influential writer, artist and former Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada and acclaimed writer Christopher Priest—present a new evolution of the Marvel Universe under the groundbreaking Marvel Knights banner this June in MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME! Today, fans can check out all the covers for the debut issue including variant covers by acclaimed artists Joshua Swaby, Simone Di Meo, Alex Maleev, Dan Panosian and David Mack!



Developed and almost already completed in its entirety, MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME is a six-issue series where Quesada and Priest combine their decades of experience crafting masterful comic book sagas to produce an entire new vision of the Marvel Universe. The story begins in Wakanda with startling developments centered around T'Challa, Storm, Shuri and more that will reverberate across the globe, changing the Marvel mythos as you know it and boldly reinventing its most legendary heroes.

The King of Wakanda is DEAD, leaving unguarded the world's most advanced technology, most precious metal, and a cryptic vault of dark secrets while triggering global conflicts among Marvel's heroes, villains and mutants. With T'Challa gone and the future of the Marvel Universe teetering on a vibranium knife's edge, a tribal challenge ensues for the Wakandan throne, and its mysterious victor will emerge as the new leader of Wakanda and usher in THE WORLD TO COME.

On returning to both Marvel Knights and Wakanda storytelling, Priest, one of the most influential Black Panther writers, said, "It would take a very special event to bring me back to this wonderful world given birth by the Marvel Knights crew, and Joe Quesada's brilliant expansion on those themes allows us to bring the Marvel Knights era full circle to a poignant, hilarious, terrifying, and electrifying conclusion as both King T'Challa and co-creators face the inevitable approach of sunset and transition. Brought fiercely to life by Joe's tour de force art and stunning colors by Richard Isanove, I could not have possibly asked for a more fitting coda to my career-highlight work with the comic industry's undisputed leading African character."

"Priest delivered an opus—a journey that lets us—and fans—celebrate those original books while taking familiar characters to new and unexpected places. I haven't had this much fun drawing a project since Marvel Knights Daredevil #1," Quesada said.
