Dark Horse plans to publish both a young-readers graphic novel and a three-issue comic miniseries based on Incredibles 2, in advance of the movie, which will be out on June 15. Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home, by Liz Marsham (Disney Princess Beginnings) and Nicoletta Baldari (Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny), will be released on June 12, and the first issue of Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2: Crisis in Mid-Life! & Other Stories will be out on July 11. The comic series will feature writers Christos Gage and Landry Q. Walker and artists Gurihiru, J.Bone, and Andrea Greppi and Roberta Zanotta.

Cloe and the CloudI rounded up the most recent kids’ comics news at ICv2, including a new graphic novel from BOOM! Studios, Papercutz’s new STEM line, Amigo Comics’ new kids’ imprint, and Dark Horse’s announcement that they will publish an omnibus edition of Jennie Wood and Jeff McComsey’s gender-shifting graphic novel Flutter.

Archie Meets Batman

Holy Crossover, Batman! Archie Comics has just announced Archie Meets Batman ’66, in which the Riverdale gang has a close encounter with the 1960s version of the Caped Crusader, the Boy Wonder, and various other Gotham City personalities. The creative team on this six-issue series includes writers Jeff Parker and Michael Moreci, veteran Archie artist Dan Parent as penciller, J. Bone as inker, colors by Kelly Fitzpatrick (Shade the Changing Girl), and lettering by Jack Morelli; the first issue is due out in July.

Bookstore owner Leslie Hawkins has a brief, touching essay about a customer finding Ms. Marvel and the importance of representation.
