Thanks to Bleeding Cool for having the solicitations
Blood Hunt officially starts in May with two issues.
I’m super interested in Strange Academy Blood Hunt 1 of 3, as I love the original series, and its follow up mini.
Plus, maybe Magik will be in this?
Ultimate Black Panther 4 still promises to have all of the Ultimate Storm content we can want.
I feel like I already love Ultimate X-Men, and I’m sure the third issue is going to be uncanny. We’re going to get officially acknowledgment that Ultimate X-Men does connect to the larger Ultimate Universe with Storm references.
We start rolling out all of the Deadpool and Wolverine content to tie in to the biggest movie of the year.
Deadpool and Wolverine WWIII (how many WWIIIs can we have?!) is a pass for Old Dad.
Hickman is writing a Valeria Richards series, also starring Doom, titled, Doom – where Doom has to try to save the Earth from Galactus. Is it an ongoing? It doesn’t list part 1 of anything.
Hellverine is also a pass.
Garth Ennis. Nick Fury. Vietnam. Also a pass.
Another Giant Size X-Men 1?! I wish they’ll just continue the numbering as you know, Giant Size X-Men is a pretty important title, and issue number. At least this is written by Ann Nocenti, but its an Angel story set during the O5 days with some reprints? Another pass. Shame it isn’t an All New All Different never before told story, that would have been fun.
Avengers Twilight ends.
Deadpool 2 has Taskmaster
Spider-Man : Shadow of the Green Goblin 2, written by JM DeMatteis
Spectacular Spider-Men 3, Double Date! Miles and Kamala Khan, great! with Peter and Gwen Stacey?! Not as great.
Miles Morales : Spider-Man 20, references Ms. Marvel in the solicit, but reads like a list of things going wrong, so she probably isn’t in this. Or making awesome X-Men references.
Mystique and Destiny are going to get married! So I guess once Destiny’s memories of giving birth to Kurt are unlocked, and her & Raven discuss everything, they get married!
I do love how the Marvel Voices Pride logo is on the cover, as a warning to all of the bros out there.
Odd group of wedding guests. I imagine it’ll just be Kurt, Rogue, and Gambit in reality.
Sabretooth War finally ends in Wolverine 50
Actually, everything X-related ends in May!
(now we’re onto the good stuff!)
Fall of the House of X 5 of 5
Cyclops and Storm have joined the fight, so of course, Orchsis is going down.
The Storm Breaker logo (whatever that is) is blocking Kate Pryde, but she’s on the cover.
Rise of the Powers of X 5 of 5
Jean is back, and she’s mad.
X-Men 34 has what appears to be a series retrospective cover.
I’m going to have to check out the Shadowcat Marvel Masterpieces III cover!
Cassara refuses to draw Lockheed properly on a cover 😀
I also don’t love that Kate and Illyana are nowhere near each other on the cover.
Invincible Iron Man 18 has Tony Stark and Magneto teaming up.
X-Men Forever 3 and 4 come out to close out this miniseries.
Ms. Marvel : Mutant Menace 3 has Kamala fighting off Zombie X-Men!
Weapon X-Men 3 and 4 come out to conclude that mini.
X-Men 97 3 of 4, the prelude to the animated series.
Cable 4 of 4, hopefully the mini continues how fun the first issue was. The Neocracy are still the threat, which makes sense, but hopefully I care more about them by then. I really enjoyed the relationship between the two Cables, and want more of that.
Wolverine : Madripoor Knights 4 of 5, the first issue was fun.
New Mutants 98 is getting a reprint, again. Deadpool’s first appearance.
Avengers Annual 10 is being reprinted, Rogue’s first appearance.
Night Thrasher 4 of 4, apparently the first issue had some New Warriors content, so that’s nice.
Power Pack Into the Storm 5 of 5, hopefully we get more Power Pack content going forward.
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver 4 of 4 concludes
. . .
Apparently Marvel got permission to reprint their Godzilla comics, so that’s pretty cool. Should buy those just for the collector aspect.
They keep reprinting Spider-Man omnibi, but can’t give us a DeMatteis/Buscema Spectacular Spider-Man omnibus?! Ridiculous
NYX The Gallery Edition HC?! for $50?! I thought we all agreed to acknowledge it was the series that introduced Laura Kinney to the proper Marvel Universe, but that we pretty much ignore it at this point.
Dark X-Men : The Mercy Crown, Madelyne Pryor’s X-Men trade, for $20, I’ll recommend buying it.
Uncanny Spider-Man : Fall of X, for $25, please buy this, Nightcrawler made such a great Spider-Man!
Sins of Sinister Omnibus for $50, is a hard pass for me.
Realm of X for $18, if you can get it in a library, it has some nice moments, but I think it will never get referenced again. We’ll have to see if Magik uses light magic going forward. I doubt it.
Peach Momoko’s Demon Saga : Demon Days for $14, I’m going to buy this. Well, maybe not this version as its in black and white, and that sounds cool, but I think I want to read it as it originally came out.
May 2024 Posters do not include X-Men V6 32, so not buying any of those.
wait, where is the solicts for Blood Ties Magik and the other X-Ladies?!
Marvel.com got me!
Magik gets a Blood Tie oneshot!
X-MEN: BLOOD HUNT – MAGIK #1

On Sale 6/26
Magik raises hell! Illyana Rasputina has returned to her homeland to search her soul and steel it for what comes next. But how will she protect her first home when a vampire army descends on Russia, seeking to turn it into a living hell? She may have been forged in the fires of Limbo, but has it prepared her for the Blood Hunt?
As does Wolverine, Jubilee, and Psylocke.
Also, Stormbreakers is the name of Marvel’s spotlight artist, so that’s good to know.
. . .
So comics I am excited to read :
Blood Ties : Magik
Fall of the House of X 5
Rise of the Powers of X 5 (not overly excited)
Ms. Marvel : Mutant Menace 4
X-Men V6 34
X-Men Wedding Special V3 1
Ultimate X-Men V2 3
and Strange Academy, IF Magik is in it.
Six comics, doesn’t seem too bad.
Shadow and Flame with Magik
