Last year's annual issue of Marvel's Timeless anthology introduced the latest Power Man – a version of Luke Cage who has survived until the far future as the last remaining hero, now imbued with the special abilities of Iron Fist, Sentry, and the Hulk. The one-shot, written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, and drawn by Juann Cabal, ended with the suggestion that Luke was being pulled back in time to Marvel's present day and to new adventures.
As announced at today's Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic Con, Kelly and Lanzing, along with artist Bernard Chang, will be steering Cage's continuing story in a new five-issue limited series. Power Man: Timeless does indeed plant our hero in the modern day (where his contemporary self is still mayor of New York) and will pit him against a mysterious new enemy. Here's Andrei Bressan's main cover for the first issue.
