The Incredibles (Comics)

From Mental Block

A sequel comic series to The Incredibles was one of the launch titles for Boom! Studios' Disney line, beginning in March 2009 with the four-issue miniseries Family Matters before switching to an ongoing format. Written by Eisner-award winning comic writer Mark Waid and Landry Walker and drawn by Marcio Takara and Ramanda Kamarga, it expands the scope of the film universe with new characters and villains as well as re-introducing Xerek, the villain of early drafts of the movie.

Unfortunately, the finale of the storyline was indefinitely delayed by Boom Studios. Since then, Marvel reprinted the first two story arcs, but it is unknown if the storyline will be concluded by Marvel or by Joe Books.
