Marvel’s annual Timeless one-shot will see the debut of two new characters in the Marvel Universe.
In past Timeless one-shots, readers have followed Kang the Conqueror in his quests to find the Missing Moment, a moment in time he couldn’t access. His searches led to future teases of the Marvel Universe with the issue showcasing stories coming in 2022, including the arrival of a new Iron Fist, Iron Man becoming a god, Punisher joining the Hand, the return of Jack of Hearts, and the moon being cracked open during the Reckoning War. Additionally, Timeless 2022 debuted the Twilight Court, currently playing a significant role in Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa’s Avengers series.
2023’s Timeless will be pretty different, focusing on two new characters. In the dark future, the Immortal Moon Knight, built through StarkTech, the Eternal Machine, and the God of the Moon, rules Earth with his great power. However, Power Man, Marvel’s last living superhero with the combined powers of Hulk, Sentry, and Iron Fist, will challenge him and fight to ensure a new generation of heroes can be born. Like past issues, Timeless #1 will showcase glimpses of future storylines and look into Marvel’s 2024 storytelling initiative.
Immortal Moon Knight and Power Man appear together on Kael Ngu’s main cover for Timeless #1. Their fight can also be seen in variant covers from InHyuk Lee and Ron Lim. Felipe Massafera’s spoiler variant teases Doctor Doom will have a role in the events at hand. Meanwhile, Alex Ross’s gatefold variant features some of Marvel’s most iconic characters in his signature style. Timeless #1 will also have yet-to-be-revealed variants from Peach Momoko and a 1:25 cover by Miguel Mercardo. Check out Ngu’s cover for the issue alongside the accompanying text preview.
