Written by Bendis, illustrated by Edgar, colored by K. J. D\u00edaz (<i>A Mischief of Magpies<\/i>, <i>Los Monstruos<\/i>), and lettered by Joshua Reed (<i>Witness Point<\/i>, <i>Skate Ali<\/i>), this four-issue arc introduces a brand-new prophecy for the Chosen Ones.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"aaj1o\"><b>About<\/b> <b><i>The Ones<\/i><\/b> <b>Volume II<\/b><b><i>: The Other Ones<\/i><\/b><b>:<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"c9jbc\">There came a day, a day unlike any other, when all THE CHOSEN ONES from many different mythologies were ordered by a prophecy of the universe to band together and stand up and defeat the ACTUAL CHOSEN ONE.\u00a0This was all news to the collective chosen ones, because not only did they find out there were other chosen ones, but that none of them were THE chosen one like they were told. (Unless this is what they were chosen for, which, spoilers: they were.)<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"bt2cn\">Anyway, that first story has been told, and told so well, that THE ONES ARE BACK with an all-new challenge and a brand-new prophecy to fulfill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"ffpik\">The Ones are back to take on THE OTHER ONES.\u00a0Seems there are a few other people on Earth who thought or were told THEY were The Ones. And they are not thrilled.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"5l73b\"><b>\u201c<\/b>Jacob and I are so excited to be returning to <i>The Ones<\/i>,\u201d said Bendis. \u201cIt&#8217;s a whole chapter in this mythological superhero comedy. \u00a0It&#8217;s kind of everything I love about making comics. Jacob is brilliant and writing for him is deeply fun. in fact, this is about as much fun behind the scenes as it could be. I can\u2019t wait to share this complete nonsense with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"3dj5h\">\u201cI\u00a0never know what to expect when I get a new script from Brian for an issue of <i>The Ones<\/i>, in the best way,\u201d added Edgar. \u201cThe heart and appeal of <i>The Ones<\/i>\u00a0is the interplay and the hang with the characters. I\u2019ve had so many people tell me, \u2018I don\u2019t know how you top the first story\u2019 or \u2018I don\u2019t know where you go after THAT.\u2019 But <i>The Other Ones<\/i>\u00a0have been such a blast to create and drop into our world. And it totally works as a fresh jumping on point, even if you haven\u2019t read the first volume. We\u2019ve got world-ending stakes, sure, but come for the hang. Hope you have as good a time as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"d7307\"><b><i>The Ones<\/i><\/b> <b>Volume II<\/b><b><i>: The Other Ones<\/i><\/b> <b>#1<\/b>\u00a0(of 4) will be available in comic shops on December 9, 2026.
