Dark Horse has announced some Incredibles 2 comics to be published in June and July, tying in with the release of the Disney/Pixar film on June 15th. First up, a 48-page young readers graphic novel called Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home, to be published in June 12th, written by Liz Marsham and illustrated by Nicoletta Baldari, and retailing for $7.99. The press release provides more details:

Disney•Pixar's Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home finds Dash and Violet doing their best to help out at home while their mom and dad—Mr. and Mrs. Incredible—take on new and very different jobs. First, Dash and Violet must secretly go into Super mode when they interrupt criminal activity on a routine grocery trip to pick up some essentials! Then, helping out at home, their efforts to keep up with their chores are unknowingly obstructed by the innocent mischief of their little brother, Jack-Jack!

Writer Liz Marsham (Disney Princess Beginnings) pens this graphic novel while artist Nicoletta Baldari (Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny) brings her illustrative skills to the Parr family's latest crime-stopping mission. Disney•Pixar's Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home features stories that are accessible to young readers—but enjoyable for everyone! In these two tales featuring story elements from the film, Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack must balance their everyday lives with being secret Supers.

Dark Horse says that Incredibles 2: Heroes at Home will be aimed at young readers, but can by enjoyed by children of all ages, including grown-up ones. Next up is Incredibles 2: A Crisis in Mid-Life and Other Stories, a three-issue mini-series featuring work by Christos Gage, Landry Q. Walker, Gurihuri, J. Bone, Andrea Greppi, and Roberta Zanoota. Check out the details on that below:

Disney•Pixar's Incredibles 2: Crisis in Mid-Life! & Other Stories #1 contains part 1 of "Crisis in Mid-Life!," part 1 of "Bedtime Story," and a standalone Jack-Jack story. While dedicating a new submarine, Mr. Incredible is interrupted by the dastardly Bomb Voyage—who is intent on crushing the crowd of onlookers underneath the sub! Mr. Incredible struggles to save the day, which has him questioning his super powers—could something be wrong? In "Bedtime Story" part 1, Bob tells Jack-Jack a bedtime story that has Violet and Dash calling foul: this battle from his glory days seems too amazing to be true. Then in his own adventure, at a visit to the park, Jack-Jack uses his powers to overcome a worthy opponent!

Walker, and illustrated by Gurihiru, J.Bone, and Andrea Greppi and Roberta Zanotta.
