GW confirmed a single release coming next week in the form of an Exclusive Marneus Calgar issue #1 Comic
Warhammer Community just let us in on the new releases coming our way next week! But first, let’s go over the history of this dope marvel comic.
Earlier Announcement From 2019: GW Teams Up With Marvel
We saw this first announcement a while back:
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 we are now well into 2021, we know that the comic came to fruition and to relative happy consumers too.
GW has plenty of options on where to continue their comic series. We may be seeing a comic series dating back to the beginning events of 8th edition like the Devastation of Baal all the way to where the Primaris Marines are now well-after the Vigilus series. –And that’s all just the 40k side of things.
Marvel 40k Comic #1 Featuring Marneus Calgar!
The team at Marvel have worked hand in hand with the Warhammer Studio throughout the making of the Marneus Calgar comic to ensure that everything looks and feels like the 41st Millennium you know and love. Our loremasters and hawk-eyed reviewers have ensured that from bolters to [redacted],* this is an accurate and 100% official portrait of the grim darkness of the far future.
Marneus has been a long-time Chapter Master of the Ultramarines back from the days of Rogue Trader. He’s as much part of the 40k Grimdark lore as some of the Primarchs. S
The comic already hit shelves, but GW had another ace in their sleeve regarding the first comic…

The first issue will be available to order from the Games Workshop webstore next Saturday – with an exclusive cover only available online – and on the shelves of your local Warhammer store (if you’re lucky enough that your store is open) from the 8th of March.
