Marvel Comics have revealed additional titles for their new line of Marvel Digital Orignals (MDOs), aimed at audiences that “experience… characters digitally” through streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix, and Freeform.
“Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist: Phantom Limb” and “Daughters of the Dragon” will join the “Jessica Jones” ongoing, written by Kelly Thompson with art by Mattia de Lulis, that was announced earlier this week. As first reported by IGN, these MDOs are double-sized (40 pages) digital issues and will be released once a month completing a full arc in 3 issues. After the completion of each arc, the issues will be printed and sold in comic book shops.
Below are the solicits for the newly added MDOs, and the release dates, courtesy of comiXology:
