Jay and Silent Bob, the slacker icons of New Jersey, are about to become Marvel heroes in Jay & Silent Bob: Jays of Future Past. The one-shot will be written by Silent Bob himself, Kevin Smith, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli. It is set to arrive in comic shops in June 2026.

“Capped, tan American Jay and friendly neighborhood wider-man Silent Bob make a quick stop in the Marvel Universe! But when Doctor Doom decrees these Jersey guys must die, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men, and a whole hoary host of heroes must team up on a joint mission to save the dimwitted duo from a lethal case of superhero fatigue!

The fictional duo and their real life creator have had a long history with Marvel. The comic book heroes have been referenced in Smith’s movies, Stan Lee made a cameo in Mallrats, and Smith has written Daredevil comics, Spider-Man/Black Cat: Evil That Men Do, and other Marvel books.

“From the moment in Mallrats when they made the very first reference to Wolverine in cinema history, I’ve always wanted Jay and Silent Bob to meet their Marvel heroes in a comic book crossover – so much so that I pitched it to Stan the Man himself the day he shot his cameo in the movie way back in 1995,” Smith said. “Thirty years later, Jays of Future Past represents both a love letter to the magic and mayhem of Marvel, as well as giggle-inducing proof that our childhood dreams can still come true, even at age 55.”

Jay and Silent Bob’s entrance into the Marvel universe will occur less than a year after they had a crossover with the teens of Riverdale in Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob. Perhaps we’ll see them interacting with characters from DC or Image next.

Jay & Silent Bob: Jays of Future Past features a cover by Marco Checchetto and will be in comic stores on June 10.
