Imagine a world where K-pop stardom and superheroics collide! But what happens when your biggest fans turn against you? That's the dramatic premise facing Luna Snow, Marvel's sensational K-pop idol with ice powers, in her upcoming solo adventure!
Get ready for Luna Snow: World Tour #1, hitting comic book stores on January 14, 2026. This one-shot promises a whirlwind of music, mystery, and Marvel-style action as Luna Snow embarks on a journey that will test her both as a performer and as a hero.
Written by the acclaimed Greg Pak (War of the Realms, Agents of Atlas), and brought to life by the dynamic artwork of Ario Anindito and Takeshi Miyazawa, this comic delves into the heart of what it means to be a pop star with a secret identity. You can feast your eyes on exclusive preview pages below!
The creative team is pulling out all the stops, with variant covers by Fan Yang, Gurihiru, Lesley "Leirix" Li, and NetEase Games, offering diverse artistic interpretations of Luna Snow's world.
But here's where it gets controversial... The official synopsis teases a crisis of confidence for Luna Snow in the aftermath of Doctor Doom's latest scheme. It reads, "As the world recovers from Doctor Doom's takeover, K-pop star and ice-wielding super hero LUNA SNOW hits her lowest low yet. So she takes her music into her own hands — and hits the road!"
The real kicker? A brand-new K-pop sensation emerges, captivating Luna's fanbase with music so infectious, it's practically criminal! Luna must step up, defending the very people who seem to have abandoned her. Can she win back their hearts while saving the day? And which beloved Marvel heroes will join her on this epic quest?
Greg Pak himself is incredibly enthusiastic about this project. "Luna Snow's been a blast to write ever since she debuted in comics," he says. "But this new story is something special - we get to focus on her as the hero and dig deep into what it means to be a pop star and a super hero at a time when fascists and exploiters have very specific uses for pop stars and super heroes."
And this is the part most people miss... Pak hints at the deeper themes explored in the comic, suggesting a commentary on the exploitation of artists and heroes by those in power. He boldly highlights how easily pop stars and superheroes can be manipulated, offering a potentially controversial interpretation of Luna's journey.
Pak continues, "We've got a fantastic new K-pop villain named Vibe, who you'll love to hate, a couple big surprise classic Marvel guest stars, and absolutely top tier art from Ario Anindito and Tak Miyazawa. The art pops, the book rocks, and you do not wanna miss it!"
For those unfamiliar with Luna Snow's origin story, Seol Hee's journey began in War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas #1 (2019), crafted by Greg Pak and Gang Hyuk Lim. Tragedy struck early in her life with the loss of her parents, but she found solace and support with her grandmother, enabling her to pursue her K-pop dreams as Luna in the group 4L1T. Fate intervened when an A.I.M. attack targeted her opening show. Trapped in a malfunctioning Stark Industries cold-fusion reactor, she gained her incredible cryokinetic powers. Reborn as Luna Snow, she balanced her music career with occasional superheroic duties, most notably during the War of the Realms event.
Beyond the comic pages, Luna Snow has garnered a significant following through her appearance in NetEase Games' popular hero shooter, Marvel Rivals. As one of the initial playable heroes, she quickly became a fan-favorite, showcasing her competitive edge.
