The MCU's founding chairman is launching a new shared universe for comics, film, and gaming

David Mack's cover for Ekos #1.

As announced at this year's San Diego Comic Con, Marvel Studios founding chairman David Maisel – one of the people initially responsible for making the MCU into the world-conquering success that it became – is launching a new shared comics universe known as Ekos. 

If you've been into comics a long enough time then perhaps that name sounds familiar to you. That's because the new series, which launches with 120-page graphic novel Ekos Vol. 1, is based on characters and concepts created by the late artist Michael Turner and Geoff Johns for a comic that was due to be published in the early 2000s. Tragically, Turner passed away before that series could come to fruition.
