Shadow and Flame with Magik

Follow along as I see what I’m interested in Marvel that is coming out in April 2026!

Spider-Man / Superman 1, and I’m actually legit interested in a few covers. Walker D wants the Kaare Andrews cover, and I want the Erik Larsen cover. I just love that it is both Cyborg Superman and Cyborg Spider-Man, such a fun concept!

. . .

With me getting two Spider-Man / Superman covers, I’ll have to keep that in mind as I do my order this month, as I do want to try to stay under $50. I definitely want the regular cover of Ultimate Wolverine 16, for Ultimate Sprite, but Hanna’s variant cover has Magik on it, so maybe I’ll get both?

. . .

The Ultimates is ending with 24.

. . .

Ultimate Endgame 5, hopefully Magik is on one of the four variant covers not shown.

. . .

Ultimate Universe Finale 1, be nice if one of the eight variant covers has Sprite & Magik on it.

I wonder how I read Spider-Man solicits is the way some people read X-Men solicits? There’s just so many books, and I have zero interest in them.

Captain Marvel : Dark Past 1, written by Paul Jenkins, sounds interesting.

Wonder Man 2, hard pass.

Sentry 2, hard pass.

Eternals 50th Anniversary, written by Fallout Boy.

Doom 2099 : Rage of Doom 1, versus Ultron. What are we even doing?

Wolverine : Weapons of Armageddon 2, still looks pretty contained.

Jubilee : Deadly Reunion 1, I do like Jubilee getting a one shot finally. She was the last of the X-Ladies who got solos or minis after Blood Hunt. Hopefully her lost family member isn’t a gangster or a ninja.

. . .

X-Men United 2, the cover that showed us that Kitty Pryde was officially on the team! There’s five variant covers, and I’ll probably buy whichever ones have Kitty on them. I believe I’m getting four covers of issue one? That might be right.

. . .

Magik and Colossus 3, the regular cover does look pretty cool, but if one of the four variant covers is purely Illyana, I’ll get that one. I am going to stay committed to getting Magik comics that I am aware of, but I do think I’m going to focus on only ensuring that I’m keeping up with my Kitty Pryde and Lockheed collection.

. . .

Rogue 4, issue one was amazing.

Cyclops 3, sounds cool.

Inglorious X-Force 4, first issue was pretty solid.

. . .

Moonstar 2, I have to support both Dani, and Ashley Allen. Maybe a Magik appearance on one of the three other variant covers?

. . .

Storm : Earth’s Mightiest Mutant 3, she is having a multiverse story, so maybe some cool characters will appear?

Generation X-23 3, this does sound interesting.

. . .

This feels like I’m screen capping so many comics! I wonder if Magik appears on one of the other four variant covers for X-Men 28?

. . .

Wolverine 18 & 19, this title is double shipping?! Why?! 18 ends Silver Sable, which I liked the first part, and 19 starts a Hercules arc, so that’s probably why, but no comic needs to double ship. At least it isn’t a title I’m buying.

. . .

Is that Kitty Pryde on the regular cover of Uncanny X-Men 26? Maybe it is Mutina in a trainee uniform?

. . .

Uncanny X-Men 27, doesn’t hint at who is on the cover of 26. Also, this is double shipping?!

Uncanny X-Men Annual, is dealing with the aftermath of the Dark Artery arc.

. . .

Deadpool : April Pool’s Day, written by Gail Simone, and is hinting at having a slew of guest stars. We’ll have to wait and see if I need this for my collection.

. . .

Imperial Guardians 2, for that sweet Dark Hawk content.

Sorcerer Supreme 5, I completely missed out on knowing Madelyne Pryor was in issue 3, so I have to pay more attention to this title.

Psylocke : Ninja 4, the first issue was okay.

Sai : Dimensional Rivals 4, the first issue was good.

Marvel Rivals : Duel of Kings 1, Namor vs Black Panther, I’ll have to see if Magik appears in this, or on the variant cover.

The End 2099 5, I’ll have to see if any characters I like show up in this.

Iron Man 4, still with Carmen Carnero on art. So, it will look delicious. I man, gorgorous.

Fantastic Four 10, I saw a slew of fallen heroes on the regular cover, but Logan was the only mutant.

Logan : Black, White, and Blood 4, none of the stories seem to guest star any X-Men. Odd this is listed so far away from the X-Titles.

Hulk : Smash Everything 5, two issues have been out, and it has not been a hero cameo fest like I thought it was going to be.

Godzilla : Infinity Roar 3, this does seem committed to only be space based, so I feel like I can skip this.

Planet of the Apes / Fantastic Four 3, one of these days, the X-Men will star in one of these fun crossovers.

. . .

Alright, let’s see how much damage this is.

Spider-Man / Superman, times two! Andrews and Larsen covers, unless one of the other 20 has a mutant on it.

Ultimate Wolverine 16, at least the regular cover, maybe the Hanna cover as well?

Ultimate Endgame 5, one of the variant covers.

Ultimate Universe Finale 1, one of the variant covers.

X-Men United 2, the regular cover for sure, check for Kitty Pryde variant covers.

Magik and Colossus 3, regular cover would be fine, but check variants.

Moonstar 2, check for a variant cover.

X-Men 28, check for a variant cover.

Uncanny X-Men 26, regular cover for sure.

Deadpool : April Pool’s Day 1, probably have to pass on this one as I’m looking a ten comics, with possibly a few more. I know DCBS gives a better discount with more comics, and the shipping goes down, I believe? Maybe?

This is a lot of comics for me, but this is also the last of the announced Marvel DC crossovers, until they announce another one. Hopefully that one would focus on a mutant. That’ll be nice.
