A core group of essential X-Men rise FROM THE ASHES to face a world without a home – and without Professor X!
All bonds among the mutant community seem to be slipping away, and ROGUE reluctantly finds herself as the hero designated to bring them back together…but a fearless, malignant power is out there hunting mutants, and it has a terrible secret that may destroy what remains of the X-Men!
40 PGS./Rated T+ …$5.99
I am excited about the family dynamics with Gambit, Rogue, and Nightcrawler. Jubilee & Logan are nice to round the cast out.
I’m already committed to the first issue as I’m getting the Scott Koblish wrap around cover.
. . .
Wolverine : Revenge 1 of 5 by Jonathan Hickman & Greg Capullo, is a pass for me, but I’ve heard Dani Moonstar is in this, so I’m at least intrigued by it.
. . .
X-FACTOR #1
Mark Russell • Bob quinn (A) • Cover by GREG LAND
The team has Havok, Frenzy, Pyro, Feral, and Dr. Celicia Reyes, so I’m interested in it.
. . .

MAGIK VARIANT COVER BY J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
MAGIK VIRGIN VARIANT COVER BY J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
DISCO DAZZLER VARIANT COVER BY OLIVIER VATINE • VARIANT COVER BY TAURIN CLARKE
MARVEL MULTIVERSE RPG VARIANT COVER BY RUAIRÍ COLEMAN
INVASION!
The X-Men fly to the rescue of a mutant in crisis in San Francisco. The problem? Alien invaders seem to have a similar idea. Six X-Men vs. an invading alien fleet? Sounds about right. PLUS: THE CONCLUSION OF DEADPOOL/WOLVERINE: WEAPON X-TRACTION!
X-MEN #3
JED MACKAY • RYAN STEGMAN (A/C)
ROGUE VARIANT COVER BY J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
ROGUE VIRGIN VARIANT COVER BY J. SCOTT CAMPBELL
VARIANT COVER BY GREG LAND • VARIANT COVER BY MAHMUD ASRAR
SCOTT SUMMERS VS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
How did the X-Men come to possess their HQ, the Factory, and how difficult a position does that put them in? As Cyclops meets the implacable Agent Lundqvist, the X-Men come to find that their new home may not be as secure as they had thought…
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
X-Men is double shipping, and Magik is on the team, so I’m locked in for this.

VARIANT COVER BY SAM DE LA ROSA • HOMAGE VARIANT COVER BY LUCIANO VECCHIO

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE WEAPON X-TRACTION VARIANT COVER BY CAFU
STORM JOINS THE AVENGERS!
• New arc starts here! Superstar artist Valerio Schiti (G.O.D.S.) takes the helm as series artist!
• In the aftermath of Blood Hunt and Fall of the House of X, where does that leave the Avengers?
• The team’s roster won’t be the only thing shaken up when a deadly threat sets its vengeful sights on Earth!
PLUS: PART 6 OF DEADPOOL/WOLVERINE: WEAPON X-TRACTION!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
Storm joining the Avengers makes me interested in the Avengers for the first time in years. Hopefully she’s there for more than three issues.
. . .

MARVEL MULTIVERSE RPG VARIANT COVER BY RUAIRÍ COLEMAN
WARFARE IN WAKANDA!
FORGE leads X-FORCE in their new, custom BLACKBIRD to the next world fracture in WAKANDA. But as the ground literally changes under their feet, the team will have to stop…the BLACK PANTHER?! That can’t be right, can it?! And what secret is bubbling under the surface that just might tear the X-Force team asunder? The new X-FORCE ongoing hits its stride in this issue – don’t miss jumping on early!
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99
X-Force is giving me my Rachel Summers content, so another lock for me.
. . .
NYX 2 is dealing with some secret agency capturing mutants, so hopefully our young heroes put an end to that.
. . .
Phoenix 2, Jean Grey so deep in space, she comes across the Starjammers – so I went from no interest, to seeing Jean with Corsair and Hepzibah.
. . .
Deadpool Team-Up 1 of 5, Rob Liefeld’s last Deadpool story, and we’re promised a team-up with Crystar, so that’s cool.
. . .
Predator v Black Panther 1 of 4 sounds interesting, but I haven’t even looked at the Aliens v Wolverine comic, and I’m a bigger Alien fan than Predator. But I like that this is an option.
. . .
Venom War, and all of its tie-ins, are a hard pass for me, dawg.
. . .
After reading Dark Web, I am somewhat interested in following Chasm’s story in Chasm Curse of Kaine 1 of 4 – plus there’s no denying how cool that cover looks!
. . .
ULTIMATE X-MEN #6
PEACH MOMOKO • PEACH MOMOKO (A/C)
ULTIMATE SPECIAL VARIANT COVER BY MEGHAN HETRICK
VARIANT COVER BY STEPHANIE HANS • VARIANT COVER BY TRADD MOORE
THE ACTION-PACKED FINALE OF THE FIRST ARC!

• But is this group of scrappy teens prepared to face true darkness?
• And don’t miss the reveal of the final member of the group on the last page!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
We’re going to get a seven person team, which is the perfect number for the X-Men.
. . .
so many titles I’m just scrolling through with no interest in.
. . .

MICRONAUTS: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS OMNIBUS VOL. 3 HC MICHAEL GOLDEN COVER
712 PGS./Rated T …$125.00
The price tag is too much for me, but the collector in me would like this before Marvel loses the license again.
DEAD X-MEN TPB
120 PGS./Rated T+ …$17.99
The first issue is in my top ten of the year (thus far), but the rest of the series sort of fell apart for me.

184 PGS./Rated T+ …$24.99
Collecting INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2022) #13-20.
The Fall of X tie in arc that was pretty legit.
POWER PACK: INTO THE STORM GN-TPB
144 PGS./Ages 10-14 …$13.99
Takes Storm until the second issue to show up in this, but I really enjoyed this miniseries.
. . .
