JM DeMatteis returns to the “DeMultiverse” with five new releases

In 2022, legendary comic book writer JM DeMatteis launched a new comic book series through Spellbound Comics titled “The DeMultiverse,” as all four titles were written and co-created by the longtime comic book writer. Now, after the series had a successful crowdfunding, DeMatteis is back with a new crowdfunding project for the SECOND issues of the DeMultiverse, plus a brand new title in addition to the four original series returning with their second issues.

DeMatteis told CBR of the project (which reached its original funding goal more than three weeks before launch): “It was exciting when we launched the first round of DeMultiverse titles, but I knew then that these were essentially pilot issues and you can just convey so much of a new universe in an introductory story. With these second issues, we’re building on those foundations and the scope of the stories, the immensity of the worlds, is really starting to come into view.”

What else does JM DeMatteis have to say about the project?

DeMatteis made a video discussing this second phase of The DeMultiverse. However, he also discussed the project with CBR, noting, “Having a story in your head is one thing, bringing it to life visually is another entirely. That’s why collaborating with this killer array of artistic talent has been so exciting. Each has a unique voice and visual point of view, and each adds immeasurably to the stories I tell. I feel blessed to have these incredible collaborators. And that includes the superstars who have signed on to design our alternate covers and the cover for our collected edition.”

He concluded, “I’ve been writing professionally for over 40 years, and working on the DeMultiverse is one of the most challenging and exciting experiences of my career. I hope anyone who is a fan of my work will join me on this journey.”

All second issues can be ordered together in paperback, and the first issues (and the collector’s paperback) are also available as add-ons.
