When last readers saw Ka-Zar, he was murdered by the plant-like aliens Cotati during 2020's Empyre event, then promptly revived in a soul-merging process with Shanna the She-Devil thanks to the sorcerer Brother Voodoo. The effects of that resurrection and more will play out in what series writer Zac Thompson calls "an evolution that channels something like Immortal Hulk…"

"The alien Cotati murdered him. The Savage Land brought him back. Lord Plunder has returned - with a vastly new perspective!" reads Marvel's description of Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land #1. "Now united with Shanna the She-Devil in a mystical merging of life energies, Ka-Zar has new abilities, new needs… and new enemies. An ancient evil has surfaced in the Savage Land - one that is rapidly reshaping the forgotten world and its inhabitants. Ka-Zar and Shanna must fight together to protect their home and family! But their son Matthew has plans of his own…"

Thompson will be joined by artist Germán Garcia, who has drawn portions of the aforementioned Immortal Hulk. They'll be joined by colorist Matheus Lopes, who is also coloring Superman: Woman of Tomorrow.
