I’m hoping we are getting a Godzilla / X-Men oneshot.
Joe Kelly taking over Amazing Spider-Man and getting a new number one sounds fun.
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time 1 of 5, I’ll be checking this for character appearances. Avengers, and it is a fun callback to when he was the Superior Iron Man. And Doctor Octopus is involved, so they thought of everything.
One World Under Doom, 3 of 9, everyone is mad at Doom. This feels like an event I can skip out on.
Doom Academy, 3 of 5, after reading the Midnight Suns mini, I’m in the mood for a Strange Academy revisit, so I’m hoping this series has that vibe.
. . .
I had to reread the solicit for issue one, just to make sure Karma wasn’t on that cover. Adding Karma definitely gets me interested in this series.
. . .
Predator vs Spider-Man could be fun, just waiting for the X-Men to fight either the Predator or Aliens, or both!
Marvel Rivals 1, just makes me really wish I could afford a PS5
. . .
as soon as they announced this miniseries, I took a breath to get ready for how many variants I was going to buy. BUT! There’s only one cover with Lockheed on it, so I’m only buying that Marcus To cover, and it looks gorgeous. The first comic I’m actually preordering this month.
. . .
Weapon X-Men 3 is still a title full of bros
Uncanny X-Men 13 is still focusing on the Outliers, so I like that as I love Calico.
. . .
X-Men 14 is the first cover in the solicitations that reveals we are being treated to Marvel Bullpen Bits legend, Chris Giarrusso, variant cover series. A callback to the Official Marvel Handbook connecting covers.
So I’m committing to getting the ones that has Kitty Pryde and Magik, if those two show up on any of them. We got Lockheed, so I feel like their chances are high.
I’m excited to see what the huge image is going to look right.
also, Magik should be in this issue of X-Men, so that’s nice.
X-Men is double shipping too, which I’m not sure if this title needs that treatment.
. . .
Phoenix 10, probably has my favorite supporting cast in comics right now. Phoenix vs new friend, Adani.
Storm 7, she’s battling all of the thunder gods, minus Throg.
NYX 10, vs Mojo
X-Factor 9, Archangel is back, but even more devilish looking
Psylocke 6, I like the solicit being purposely vague.
X-Force 10 is also X-Force 300, proving why legacy numbers are important. Another X-Title where the overall plot isn’t doing much for me, but it has Rachel Summers, and I want to read her adventures, so here I am.
Laura Kinney : Wolverine 5, guest starring Winter Solider
. . .
Kitty is on both covers, and I have been missing getting Carnero’s proper cover, so maybe I’ll get that one. This is where I would love if I had a comic store closer to me than being an hour and a half away (one way). But there is also the Giarrusso variant to consider. I might preorder the Carnero cover, and if the Giarrusso cover features Kitty (could not happen, as many of these covers don’t relate to the title character(s)) get that one.
Poor Axo already getting a clone, and having to deal with Sinister.
My third issue I’m preordering.
. . .
Wolverine 8 is also Wolverine 400, so fun!
Sabretooth : Dead Don’t Talk, 5 of 5, this is ending.
Cable : Love and Chrome, 4 of 5, penultimate issue.
. . .
Hopefully you, dear reader, enjoy just having the image, I’m liking how clean this looks.
I’m definitely not buying the Campbell cover, so I’ll blind preorder either the Momoko or Resch cover. Dani Moonstar is guesting in this issue, so it’ll be nice if either of those covers feature her.
My fourth issue I’m preordering this month.
If this title was simply a team-up title for Magik, that would be enough for me.
. . .
Kid Juggernaut 1, is printing the digital Marvel Voices that didn’t feature any of my favorite characters, but nice it is getting a physical copy. I’m still waiting for Lovable Lockheed to get a physical copy.
Rogue Savage Land, 4 of 5, the variant covers keep being full of cheesecake, but the interior for issue one was delightful.
Ironheart : Bad Chemistry 1, so that there will be a trade by the time the show comes out on June 24, 2025 (a day before my lovely wife’s birthday)
. . .
Ultimate Wolverine 4.
Ultimate Kitty Pryde is referenced in the solicit, but it reads like she won’t be in this issue. I’m going to preorder that sweet Magik solo cover, so even if Kitty isn’t in it, I’ll still get that Ultimate Magik content I crave. My fifth issue of the month.
Hopefully Kitty survives issue 3, if she dies, I’m going to be done with this Ultimate Universe. I’ll casually follow Magik’s adventures, but my heart won’t be in it.
. . .
Ultimate X-Men 14, Shadow King is still the ongoing threat of the series. I do feel bad for how much I was enjoying this series until Ultimate Wolverine came out, and started featuring the mutants I love.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur turn 10! That’s pretty cool.
. . .
The sequel to Dazzler’s previous miniseries, but now we’re having a fun play of Contest of Champions with Concert with Champions. Dazzler and all of the musically inclined characters are going on the road!
. . .
Deadpool / Wolverine 4, they are fighting Stryfe. Going to look amazing with Joshua Cassara’s art.
Every month, I scroll right pass the Spider-Man titles, and there are so many of them, yet, not a one that stands out to me enough to get interested.
West Coast Avengers 6, vs Avengers
Iron Man 7, issue 4 didn’t have any Emma Frost content, so we may have moved on to what I was looking for any crumb to hold onto.
TVA, 5 of 5, 2 felt like a step down from 1’s surprising high quality – too much TVA business for me, so I’m clearly in the minority, but it has Gambit and Jimmy Hudson, so I’m committed to finishing the series.
Hellhunters, 5 of 5, final issue.
Hellverine 5, vs Mephisto
. . .
April 2025 has me buying the most comics, and for five months at least, that is going to be the number.
Wolverine and Kitty Pryde 1, the Marcus To variant
X-Men 14, the Chris Giarrusso Lockheed variant
Exceptional X-Men 8 (cover to be determined)
Magik 4 (cover to be determined)
Ultimate Wolverine 4 (the solo Magik cover)
Shadow and Flame with Magik
