Fans who fell in love with the lovable healthcare robot Baymax and the other characters from Big Hero 6 have been waiting for more adventures from the team since 2014. While there are no plans for an actual sequel, the upcoming TV series and various comics have had to do the job.
 
Well, we can add one more form of Big Hero 6 content to the list, as IDW Publishing has announced that a new comic series will be released this summer to coincide with the animated TV show's premiere.
 
Plans for the comic run were first released in October, but now we have a look at what the series is actually going to look like. The TV series also had its first episode released last fall, even though the full season will premiere in June. 
 
Take a look at the cover for the comic below:
 
 
While it might be weird to see what originated as a Marvel property get released by another publisher, IDW has a history of releasing comics featuring characters owned by Disney, including Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
 
 The series will be written by Hannah Blumenreich and illustrated by Nicoletta Baldari.

In light of the fact that Disney owns Marvel Comics, this move makes no sense to me whatsoever.

@nuclearpriest - IDW is also doing Star Wars adventures comics. But yes, I totally understand your confusion

I am surprised theres no sequel, but they've been working on Incredibles 2 for so long, that will suffice 😘

I wonder if Marvel can no longer use the characters now? They were never important, at all, but they’ve been shelved since like 2012, so maybe it’s because of Disney using the brand now?

Wait...Marvel lost them?

Maybe Marvel could rebrand the original Big Hero 6 as something else so both versions can exist? Although, part of me doubts Marvel would even try this =/

Also what a shock to see that IDW doing this, and not Marvel...

When Big Hero 6 was originally Marvel's property.
