Godzilla vs Fantastic Four, 1 of 6, is a real choice, but I imagine the hope is that the trade is ready by the time their movie comes out in July?
Plus, it promises to involve the entire Marvel U
Actually it is 1 of 6 one shots, so hopefully the X-Men get their proper one-shot, but we’ll be checking for all of the Kitty Pryde, Lockheed, and Magik content
One World Under Doom 2 of 9, lots of Fantastic Four content, and then the Avengers get thrown in at the end. I’ll continue to await X-Men tie-ins
Fantastic Four 30, I love the idea that one way for Doom to defeat the Fantastic Four is to cure Ben Grimm of being the Thing. How to be a jerk, but also a good guy, but also also, weaken her main foes? Doom figured it out.
Doctor Strange of Asgard 1, now that he’s out of being Sorcerer Supreme, he’s gone to Asgard to be the best there.
. . .
X-Manhunt, like X-Man, and Manhunt, combined, for seven parts!
From how it reads, you just need maybe the first issue, and then the ongoing title you are already reading, and then it all concludes in its own one shot. That’s how it reads to me anyway.
Uncanny X-Men 11, is part 1. Emma is on the cover to represent Exceptional X-Men.
I love that Luciano Vecchi Calico variant, and I really hope he can do this series of covers for Exceptional X-Men, I would buy them over the regular covers, no doubt – especially the Kitty Pryde cover
NYX 9, is part 2. Xavier runs to New York City.
Storm 6, is part 3. Xavier runs to Atlanta City. Maggot is on the cover, so that’s cool. X-MEN are also appearing, so Magik content, hopefully.
X-Men 13, is part 4. X-Men and Storm, still chasing Xavier, possibly not to Alaska.
X-Factor 8, is part 5. Cyclops blasting Havok unnecessarily.
X-Force 9, is part 6. Sage confronts Xavier. Apparently there is a X-Manhunt connecting cover, have to see what that looks like.
Exceptional X-Men 7, is part 7. Which is very pleasing on the eyes.
I don’t love that Exceptional’s new villain has already been spoiled to be an old villain before he even made his (not) first appearance.
I can’t say I’m super drawn to the proper cover, nor the Kimoko cover, even if it is done by Peach Momoko. So I guess that leaves the Rickie Yagawa cover for me, or whatever cover Rian Gonzales has. But I’m ordering this issue no matter what
I wonder if Gonzales has the Iceman cover I saw, that connects with the other covers to show the Original Five X-Men, plus Xavier.
X-MANHUNT OMEGA #1
GAIL SIMONE & MUREWA AYODELE 
• GLEB MELNIKOV (A/C)
X-MANHUNT CONNECTING VARIANT COVER BY PHIL NOTO
VARIANT COVER BY DAVID MARQUEZ
VARIANT COVER BY TONY DANIEL
PROFESSOR XAVIER VARIANT COVER BY EDWIN GALMON
X-MANHUNT FINALE!
- The X-MANHUNT concludes as Professor X reaches his destination, and his assorted pursuers, friend and foe alike, catch up with him!
- Alliances will be battle-tested, the blades of betrayals will cut deep with poisoned tips and, when the dust finally settles, Charles Xavier will have to make a tectonic-shifting choice with the fate of all mutantkind in the balance.
- The world is about to change. This time around, everyone is wide awake.
48 PGS./ONE-SHOT/Rated T+ …$6.99
I’m also on board for buying the finale, as Kitty Pryde is on the cover. Which makes sense as her series is the penultimate issue. She should be sticking around.
I’m calling it now, Xavier just ends up back in prison at the end of this
. . .
What if Mickey and Friends Became the Avengers? Wake up me up when Disney and X-Men pair up again.
The Thing, 1 of 5, launches as Ben loses his ability to be the Thing. So that’s perfect timing.
Nick Fury vs Fin Fang Foom, is just a fun concept
Web of Spider-Verse vs Web of Venomverse, so all Spider-Titles are unreadable for the foreseeable future
Wolverine 7, with both Wolverines, and a promise of a key appearance
Weapon X-Men 2, still delivering on their premise of being a sausage feast.
Laura Kinney : Wolverine 4, has Winter Soldier appearing
Rogue : Savage Land 3 of 5, seems to exist just for the variant covers
Cable : Love and Chrome 3 of 5, if this is your thing
Phoenix 9, still fighting Thanos
. . .
I sort of love the good girl/Darkchylde cover by J. Scott Campbell, that’s probably the one I’m going to get. I have to make sure not to buy my copies too early so that I give myself a chance to see all of the covers.
. . .
Psylocke 5, she’s poisoned, months after Storm was poisoned, that doesn’t seem great
Uncanny X-Men 12, the first issue post-crossover, and we focus on Gambit
. . .
ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #3
Chris Condon • Alessandro Cappuccio (A/C)
ULTIMATE SPECIAL VARIANT COVER BY LEINIL FRANCIS YU
VARIANT COVER BY NIC KLEIN • VARIANT COVER BY MATEUS MANHANINI
VIRGIN VARIANT COVER BY MATEUS MANHANINI
WOLVERINE VS. GAMBIT & KITTY PRYDE!
The Winter Soldier leads a strike against two members of the Opposition: Kitty Pryde and Gambit! But do the duo recognize the man behind the mask?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
I have to buy issue 2 on eBay, as I can only imagine Kitty Pryde shows up as a last page reveal in that issue, if she’s on the cover to issue 3.
With all due respect to Peach Momoko’s excellent Ultimate X-Men series, BUT! this is the series I’ve been waiting for.
I’m getting the Kitty cover, for sure. Not sure why anyone would want the other cover options.
This is definitely leading up to Magik v Kitty, and I’m not sure I’m ready for this.
I’m beyond excited to see where Kitty goes from here, this is the Ultimate Universe for me now.
. . .
Ultimate X-Men 13, starts its second year, and Armor and Maystorm are not getting along.
Amazing Spider-Man 69, 8 Deaths of Spider-Man is still moving forward, so I was too hasty in writing off the line. X-Men are referenced, so maybe we’re still getting Magik in this?
Amazing Spider-Man 70, Spider-Naut! Cain Marko gets added to the Spider-Mythos, even more so.
I thought it said Spider-Gwen : The Worst-Spider, and thought we were going into a different direction for issue 11.
West Coast Avengers 5 has a variant cover that is just Firestar and Spider-Woman, so they know their audience. Stevil is back, and harassing the team.
Daredevil : Unleash Hell 3 of 5 has an intense classic Electra cover by Ivan Talavera.
Pooluminati 1, is just a fun word to try to pronounce.
There’s been a few April Fool variant covers, and Marvel Fanfare 15 which has April Fool content.
I’m not one for pranks.
TVA 4 of 5, has both Gambit (from a sad universe where Rogue died) and Jimmy Hudson, from the original Ultimate universe. Issue 1 was pretty fun.
Avengers 24, Black Cat AND Storm, on the same team? Yes please
Deadpool 12 and Miles Morales Spider-Man 31 are crossing over.
Sabretooth : The Dead Don’t Talk 4 of 5, I debate if I want a Sabretooth Funko Pop. There are only 9 X-Characters I’m missing, so I should get him toward the end.
Namor 8 of 8, this finally ends. Stingray has missed both issues 4 and 5, and with him, my esteem for this series.
Hellverine 4, still no Aurora mention, but issue 1 was very solid.
Daredevil 19, has Murdock making a decision that will rock the Marvel U, and I’m calling it now, it isn’t going to rock the X-Side
Hopefully once we get marketing for Aliens V X-Men, we’re told the (main) cast pretty early on, so I can secure my copies.

The full, shocking conclusion of the Krakoan era!
Mutantkind has never had a greater fall, from the highs of Krakoa – their own glorious nation, a place where they were safe and happy – to the lowest of lows. Now, they face two of the greatest threats to ever target them at the same time. Orchis has left them outlawed and hunted, with most of their kind missing or dead – and one of their greatest leaders, Cyclops, on trial and facing the death penalty. Meanwhile, a secret adversary has risen to power – and as hopeless as the fight to save their species might seem, it’s nothing compared to the fight to save the entirety of reality. Ready or not, the time has come to make their final stand against the forces that have struck them low – across every corner of the globe and all of time itself! The Avengers join the fight! Ms. Marvel learns what it means to be an X-Man! Tony Stark and Emma Frost are the ultimate power couple! Magneto returns from the grave! A team of dearly departed X-Men undertake a vital mission!

EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN BY EVE L. EWING VOL. 1: DUTY CALLS TPB
Written by EVE L. EWING
Penciled by CARMEN CARNERO
Cover by CARMEN CARNERO
From the ashes of the Krakoan era, Kate Pryde finds fresh purpose!
After the fall of Krakoa, Kate Pryde is trying to get as far away from all things X as she possibly can. She’s just a regular bartender now. She’s not getting ready to head up an all-new team of wayward young mutants. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That’s it. No never-before-seen Exceptional X-Men to see here! Except Kate’s continued attempts at living a normal, non-mutant life go laughably wrong as she finds herself in the middle of a brawl started by a couple of headstrong teens with remarkable abilities — which, of course, they’re terrible at controlling. She’s sworn off being anybody’s teacher, mentor, professor, sensei or anything that reminds her of her old life. But will the White Queen force her hand? Collecting EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN #1-5.

buy this, at $18, it is a steal!
. . .
Wolverine Deep Cut for $18, even throwing in Uncanny X-Men 246 and 251, I’m not sure, of the four main issues, I really enjoyed the first two, then it falls part when it delivers on the premise of the title.
Earth X, new printing, for $45, not bad.
Wolverine : Enemy of the State for $40 is a good deal too, better if you can get it half off somewhere.
. . .
Ideally, I don’t have to get all of the issues of X-Manhunt
Here is what I’m committed to buying as soon as I can get options on eBay :
Exceptional X-Men 7
X-Manhunt Omega 1
Magik 3
Ultimate Wolverine 3
four titles seems like a good number to me
Plus, that Spectacular Spider-Man Omnibus.
Shadow and Flame with Magik
