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)
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!

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.

. . .
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 :
We kick off the nine month One World Under Doom Event, so we’ll see how involved any of the X-Men get.
Strange Academy is being turned into Doom Academy, which makes sense as Doctor Doom is the Sorcerer Supreme. Be nice if Magik showed up in any of these five issues.
Storm 5 has her dealing with Doom
X-Factor 7, Angel is back to leading, and he’s taking the team up against Doom. Be nice if Feral can be back too.
Red Hulk 1 just in time for Captain America : New World Order. I had not given it much thought that we’ll get a lot of Captain America and Red Hulk content.
Weapon X-Men 1, with a team featuring Chamber, which is cool, but that’s the only one on the roster to get my interest. At least it takes place in the main continuity.
Eddie Brock is the new Carnage, that should confuse some character profiles.
Captain America & Volstagg seems like a silly time.
Women of Marvel : She-Devils has Laura on the team, that seems fun. I could go for more of these minis.
Marvel Mutts 1 is collecting the digital comic in one place. Which I like as that means I can check fandom for any Lockheed appearances ahead of time. Marrow in issue 8 seems fun. No Lockheed appearances though.

Who could the fugitive be?! Also, looks like the Graymalkin crossover didn’t leave any after effects, or they are choosing not to address anything.

Mystique ends with issue 5. As does Sentinels.
X-Men double ships with issue 12, which is awkward as they placed two series between these issues. 12 has Alpha Flight. Including Aurora, so that’s cool.
Wolverine 6 has Nightcrawler and Laura, so now I’m interested.
NYX 8, Laura and Hellion have a confrontation. Which seems very juicy.
ugh, X-Force 8 has Colossus, is he Tank? At least he didn’t join X-MEN.
Uncanny X-Men 10, the Outliers can’t catch a break as they are being hunted.

32 PGS./Rated T …$3.99
Having Magik in a Spider-Man comic is a sure fire way to get me to read a Spider-Man comic.
seems confusing there is a regular issue of 68 and 68.DEATHS that we’re interested in. Like when Marvel tried to do the .1 initiative, but still had an Uncanny X-Men 461, and a 461.1. Some titles just had the .1 and others tried to do both. Very complicated.
I do like Spider-Man and Juggernaut being in the same story again. That sounds fun.
. . .
Daredevil is under the Spider-Office? That’s interesting.
Avengers 23, Black Cat may be joining the team, and I would love to see Felicia interact with Storm.
Sam Wilson : Captain America 2 has him fighting Red Hulk, that’s good timing.
Scarlet Witch 9 has Black Cat in it too. What a month!
Marvel is really committing to red band comics with Daredevil, Warwolf by Night, and Blade.

not sure why Free Comic Book Day comics are being shown in February, months early, but I’m super excited for the Fantastic Four / X-Men issue.

I’m mostly excited for Exceptional X-Men, Magik’s ongoing, and I guess Magik in Amazing Spider-Man, a title she hasn’t been involved in since Dark Web.
Follow along as I see what I’m interested in what Marvel is releasing in January 2025!
Marvel Fanfare Omnibus collects 1-19 for $100. Issue 4 has Kitty Pryde, and Issue 33 has a fun X-Men story starring Rogue, with Kitty, so that’ll be part of the second volume

From the ashes of the Krakoan era, a new age begins for the X-Men!
Krakoa is gone, Orchis has fallen — but the X-Men remain, always. Cyclops leads, because that is what he does. Beast builds, because that is what he does. And from their new home in Alaska, the X-Men raise a flag of defiance. Mutant business is their business. Join Scott, Hank, Magneto, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik and the unstoppable Juggernaut as new forces in the world move into position, battling for the destiny and philosophy of the mutant species. And when a crisis arises in San Francisco, the X-Men must test their mettle against an entire invading alien fleet! But how did they come to possess their HQ, the Factory, and how difficult of a position does that put them in? Plus: The shocking return of Trevor Fitzroy and the Upstarts!

Magik is getting her first ongoing series! Written by Ashley Allen who did such a wonderful outstanding job with Blood Hunt : Magik, we’re in great hands, ya’ll! Here is hoping we get 50 issues and Kitty & Lockheed are in half of the issues. I’m not sure which cover I want, they all look so good.
. . .
Rogue : Savage Land also seems like months too late.
Cable : Love and Chrome, for all those who felt they were missing Cable when he wasn’t around for the relaunch.
Marvel & Disney : What If : Mickey Mouse and Friends were the Fantastic Four? I’m passing on this as the last two were not stellar or that cute.
Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon 1. I wasn’t that impress with Doom in Avengers 19, so I feel like I’m in for a very long two years of Doom centric stories.

Saying the past is the past doesn’t make it so, and Kitty is carrying the weight of her choices. Violence, vengeance and her life as Shadowkat are not so easily left behind — especially now that the rest of her team of new recruits knows the ugly reality of what she did in the shadow of Krakoa’s fall. Now that the truth is out, so is Melee, leaving the EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN on the rocks.

I want that Kitty cover!
oh no, I hadn’t even thought about the public learning about Kate killing all of those Orchis jerks! This is going to be real bad, ya’ll Reading it one more time, maybe Emma just lets it slip OR! Emma is doing a telepathic training, and Kitty’s thoughts wander for all to see.
. . .
X-Factor 6, Frenzy at Havok’s throat?! Yes please
X-Force 7, Rachel & Betsy are getting the focus of the issue! YAASSS!
X-Men Xavier’s Secret 1, ugh that title. Sally Floyd is interesting. I checked fandom, as this collects X-Men From the Ashes Infinity Comics 1-6, and no Kitty Pryde, so no interest in this from me.
Red Band comics are here to stay for a little long, eh?
Avengers 22, Black Cat joins the team?! With Storm?! and Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch?! What a line up!
. . .
So that’s January 2024. What are you most excited for?

Living in Montana, one never knows how well the highways are, so safer to just order online.

Marvel really making Hellverine a thing with issue 1

Ultimate Universe : One Year In, sets up Year Two of the Ultimate Universe, with Nick Fury & HAMMER arriving as The Maker sets his return

ENTER…VIPER!
Viper enters the stage after a mass raid on the cult known as the Children of the Atom!
What has the Maker’s Council been doing with the cult’s mutants?
And what of the mysterious figure they have been keeping prisoner?
Hisako and her friends face a new world order as the raid leaves mutants unleashed!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
Looks like the X-Men are being brought into the larger Ultimate Universe with the Maker’s Council (I wonder if its Quiet, and who is on it?)
Viper made her appearance in this month’s issue 7.
. . .
I like how this website lists West Coast Avengers because Firestar joins the roster.
Sabretooth : The Dead Don’t Talk 1 of 5 starts. Like Sinister, Sabretooth is a tough sell for me. Frank Tieri is writing, so its probably going to be as violent as I think it will be.
Storm 3 has both Uncanny X-Men (so hopefully Kurt and Ororo chat!) and Brother Voodoo.
Psylocke 2, oh no, something happens and Psylocke is off the X-Men! Hopefully that doesn’t mean Magik leaves that title too. Actually, I guess that’ll be one less title to buy, so maybe I am okay with that.
Mystique 3 of 5, she’s in Madripoor, which I love, and fighting against SHIELD, which I’m also a fan of.
Sentinels 3 of 5, them vs Magneto, so let’s hope Magneto wipes the floor with them. Is he still confined to his chair? Does that give them an edge? Or simply a false sense of confidence?
. . .
We kick off the Raid on Graymalkin four parter between X-Men and Uncanny X-Men with X-Men Issue 8. I’m hoping Magik gets a lot of attention in this crossover. I also really appreciate the crossover being focus between two titles, and only four parts, that’s very considerate. Very mindful.
Such a gorgeous cover for Uncanny X-Men 7, Part 2 of the event.
X-Men 9, still double shipping, contains Part 3.
NYX 6, giving us the Dazzler content after her only four issue mini wraps up.
Phoenix 6, Jean Grey vs Thanos and the Black Order
X-Factor 5, someone on the team is going to die, as X-Term attacks. Hopefully it isn’t Frenzy or Dr. Celicia Reyes.
Dazzler 4 of 4 wraps up the tour, I wouldn’t mind if she joins NYX, but she’ll probably be placed on a shelf pending on how well her mini sold.
. . .

LO, THE ICEMAN COMETH!
But Kitty Pryde suspects that her old comrade Bobby Drake isn’t being entirely honest with her. And our all-new hero BRONZE faces her first big solo battle and also has to interact with a person she has a crush on! Which is worse?!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
I wonder what the Holiday Variant will be? Kitty isn’t on the proper cover or the Melee cover (which makes sense) so hopefully she’s on one of these.
Sounds like it will be a great issue. I especially like how it sounds like Kitty isn’t dragging her feet with her commitment to the team.
. . .
X-Force 6 promises to be spicy with Forge reunited with BOTH! Storm and Mystique, that should be fun. Especially as Mystique just wrapped up her mini. She could join the team.
Wolverine 4, I thought Constrictor, briefly seen in issue 1, was Sabre, but is Constrictor. Who has a similar mask, to my credit. Still, unless there is a guest star, this title isn’t for me.
All of those Deadpool/Wolverine back ups I didn’t want to pay extra for, are now being reprinted in their own miniseries, which is an interesting idea for a series. A double dip if someone isn’t careful, then they’ll be printed again in a proper trade. That’s definitely one way to do it. Weapon X-Traction, is at least a fun title.
Wolverine Revenge 5 of 5 wraps up.
. . .
Dang, Cyclops’ team has to fight Rogue’s Uncanny X-Men AND Captain Marvel’s Avengers (now with Storm!), that’s a tough month. At least Magik is on two covers, that’s nice.
. . .
Marvel finally completes reprinting the original Secret Wars with issue 12, which has Lockheed, so that’s great.
Blood Hunters 5 of 5, oh no, Dagger may die in this issue! I don’t love that for a final issue that definitely wants to leave a lasting impression.
PetPool : Pool Party 1 promises to have all of the Pool-related animals in it, and I am a sucker for an animal companion.
Iron Man 3, written by Spencer Ackerman, who is the guest on the latest episode of Cerebro for the Namor, I still have an hour left to listen, but it has been a delight.
Conquest 2099, 4 of 5, Spider-Man (I imagine the 2099 one) and Logan shows up! Which makes me wonder how they explained Logan not being around the first time? Him being there would have made me read X-Men 2099, instead of skipping it. I did read the fandom summary of each issue, hoping any of them had a Kitty Pryde reference, but none did until very recently.
oh, and issue 5 wraps it up. Madame Web 2099 debuts!
Marvel Zombies : Dawn of Decay 5 of 5 wraps up that Groot mini.
Namor 5 of 8 is still moving along.

Not a bad month, a tad expensive with all of the X-MEN appearances in their own title, in Uncanny X-Men, AND Avengers, but that is to be expected with the main X-Team.

Bendis / Dell’Otto’s Secret War is $75, but you only need to read issue 5 for that Kitty Pryde content
I’m actually tempted to get the Wolverine / Gambit : Victims Gallery by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, $50 is a bit much, but I’m sure I can find it cheaper, plus, it is a hardcover
X-Men : Blood Hunt for $25 is a bargain, and all of these one shots – Jubilee, Magik, Psylocke, and Wolverine were quality reads.

ON SALE 12/24/2024
One of the all-time great Marvel stories is just one part of a golden era for X-Men storytelling!
By 1982, the X-Men had become the biggest franchise in comic books. The engine driving it all was UNCANNY X-MEN, where Chris Claremont’s deft character work and potent exploration of the mutant metaphor captivated readers. Claremont continued to find new dramatic heights with artist Paul Smith as they unfurled the growing romance between Kitty Pryde and Colossus, the first appearances of Callisto and the Morlocks, Rogue’s debut with the team and the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor! Claremont’s writing rose to find perhaps his most poignant and challenging expression in his graphic novel with artist Brent Anderson, “God Loves, Man Kills.” Meanwhile, he collaborated with Frank Miller on the first Wolverine miniseries, which rocketed the character’s popularity into the stratosphere!
So weird they went with God Loves, Man Kills for the title of this, when it should just be From the Ashes, and with the current relaunch, one would think that would only help sell this volume. Or call it the Paul Smith era, besides his concluding chapters of The Brood Saga.
. . .
West Coast Avengers 1 has my attention with Gerry Duggan and Firestar as members, and Jessica Drew doesn’t hurt either.
Marvel / Disney What If Minnie Mouse became Captain Marvel is pretty cute
Wolverine 3, is more Weapon X nonsense, but there’s an unlikely alley, and old enemies, so I’m a little curious who those characters are.
Psylocke getting an ongoing gives me hope that Magik’s ongoing is soon to be announced.
X-Factor 4 promises a Dr. Celicia Reyes plot.
Storm is already dying in her second issue
Mystique 2 of 5, she’s on the run from Nick Fury, and asking help from an old Brotherhood member. I imagine it isn’t Destiny, as she would have been named, so maybe Pyro?
Sentinels 2 of 5, going to take more than Shaw to get me interested in this series.
Dazzler 3 of 4, Lila Cheney & Dazzler in Japan! This should be fun
X-Force 5 might have a death of a team member! hopefully it isn’t Rachel.

I want those two Kitty Pryde covers!
Note the lack of Lockheed on these covers, hmmmm
Dang, issue three, and Kitty Pryde is still resisting, I was hoping she would be on board by now.
At least we’re going to get some Melee content
. . .
NYX 5 is still dealing with Empath and his Quiet Council, hopefully he’s being kind to Mindee
Phoenix 5 is still in deep space
Uncanny X-Men 5 concludes their Red Wave arc, my second favorite title of the relaunch thus far, but it is double shipping with issue 6 as well, where their new mutants start a school in Louisiana. Probably a smart idea to not put all new mutants in one place.
X-Men 7, we learn the history of Merle, Alaska
Negasonic Teenage Warhead gets a one shot.
Venom War finally ends

Reminding the world to hate and fear her!
How do you track a subject with a history that contradicts itself? How do you stop a force whose motives change like quicksilver? How do you stop a target that can be anyone? That’s the question that confronts Nick Fury as he stumbles upon a web of lies and espionage leading back to Mystique. From the ashes of Krakoa, the shape-shifting mutant terrorist returns to remind the world exactly why it hates and fears her. From award-winning creator Declan Shalvey (MOON KNIGHT), MYSTIQUE sifts through the dark underbelly of the Marvel Universe to tell a tale of action and espionage targeting Marvel’s most mysterious mutant.

WHO ARE THE NEW SENTINELS?
The original Sentinel Program was human supremacy and fear coded into circuitry. But now their legacy falls into the hands of mutantkind! Powered by cutting-edge nanotech, this new generation of Sentinels protects a fragile peace between mutants and humans. But when being a Sentinel is your job – your life – is it possible to stay human? Mount up as Alex Paknadel (CARNAGE) and Justin Mason (SPIDER-PUNK) bring you a brand-new team of heroes that will take on the most heinous mutants! Their first mission: Capture Omega Red!

DOOM VARIANT COVER BY TERRY DODSON
Kate Pryde’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?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
I don’t love that Kitty is still resistant to being a mentor by the second issue, but we’re building tension and team dynamics, so it makes this early in the title.
I’m on Team Melee, and I love how she has Kitty’s powers, so I’m hoping the two of them get along pretty well.

But who is the mystery villain out to cancel Dazzler’s performances – permanently?! Featuring action, heartbreak and another original set of song lyrics!

• Genius. Student. New Mutant. Young Avenger. X-Man. As PRODIGY, David Alleyne has been all these things and more – but now he faces his most difficult challenge yet.
• Facing down his past and looking his present in the eye, Prodigy must fight to understand what mutant culture really means to those left behind by Krakoa…
• …and how far he’ll go to protect the mutants of New York City from a devastating – and dangerous – conspiracy of their own.
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99
Prodigy is getting a spotlight, that should be fun.

• And as she fights alone, a secret of the new recruits is revealed – is one of them the ENDLING that will destroy all mutantkind?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
Simone is really putting Rogue in the spotlight, where she belongs!
. . .
Havok and Frenzy getting the spotlight in X-Factor is cool.
Deadpool Team-Up 3 of 5, now with Hulk! I bet Rob Liefeld draws an incredible Hulk.
Conquest 2099 sounds fun. X-Men 2099 show up in the second issue.
I wish Magik was on the cover of Crypt of Shadows 1, the Halloween event.
Have to see which X-Men, if any, show up in Marvel Zombies : Dawn of Decay 2 of 4.
I really loved Wolverine Deep Cut 1, but it is a shame that Sinister is in all of the issues from 2 to 4.
Colossus guest stars in Wolverine : Revenge 3 of 5, so I continue to not be the target audience for this mini.
I have to remember I want to at least attempt Chasm : Curse of Kaine 3 of 4.
Jessica Jones in Spider-Gwen : The Ghost Spider 6 is interesting.

I need to finally read Peach Momoko’s Demon Saga : Demon Wars, but I’m never sure which collection to get. Was it one big project, or like four projects that are now in one book?
Appears all of the Blood Hunt trades are out in October, pretty clever Marketing Department!
Weapon X-Men had a solid Magik issue, issue 3, that was pretty solid.

KATE PRYDE LEADS A TEAM OF ALL-NEW X-MEN!
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-degular bartender now. Definitely NOT getting ready to head up an ALL-NEW TEAM of wayward young mutants while avoiding the watchful gaze of Emma Frost. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That’s it. No never-before-seen EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN to see here!
This is already my favorite title of the From the Ashes relaunch, and we’re finally getting it!
I’m already slated to get the amazing Scott Koblish wrap around cover, but I’m willing to get any covers that feature Lockheed as well.
I don’t love the idea that Kate has to do this while avoiding Emma, when all of the covers show that Kate & Emma are clearly working together.
I’m really really hoping that Lockheed is in this series, and we’re not going to have another era of no or barely any Lockheed.

DAZZLER, Marvel’s glittering mutant songstress, has been in and out of the limelight over the years – but now the time has finally come for her to take center stage! Dazzler embarks on a new world tour, the culmination and celebration of her entire musical career! And along for the ride is her new road crew: Domino, Strong Guy and Multiple Man! But while Dazzler may be ready to focus on her music, her celebrity-mutant status and a violent attack may sideline the entire endeavor before it’s even begun…
Each issue features original song lyrics from Ali’s notebook! Don’t miss the concert – and comic – event of the year!

NYX 3 with a dead mutant, rough start to a relaunch
Phoenix 3, Jean and Starjammers vs the Black Order
X-Factor 2 has Polaris
Avengers 18, I really like how we can transition from X-titles to Avengers titles now that Storm is on the team. Hyperion shows up.
Marvel really is lending What If to any property with What If Donald Duck was Thor?
A new Spirits of Vengeance title
Marvel Zombies : Dawn of Decay 1 of 4, Groot starts another round of Zombies, with a focus on the Avengers. I usually like to look at these and see if any mutants show up. Kate Pryde shows up a bunch in these. In the good ones, at least.
Deadpool Team-Up 2 of 5, so each issue isn’t a team up, but the entire cast including Crystar, are joining him on a mission each issue? Seems like a better title could have been used.
Wolverine Revenge 2 of 5, so Sabretooth is already back?!
. . .
I just kept scrolling pass Venom War, but then it was just never ending.
Venom War : Zombiotes 2 of 5, is a fun title
Venom War : Wolverine 1 of 3, so this event is going to last a while

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!

Only titles I’m really excited about is X-Men 2 and 3, and the Marvel 85th Anniversary one-shot.
Starting off ‘strong’ with the movie of the year, Deadpool & Wolverine with Deadpool & Wolverine WWIII 2 of 3
Blood Hunt 3 and 4 of 5, I imagine the trades for this will be out just in time for October?
Strange Academy Blood Hunt 2 of 3, is still one of the few spinoffs I’m interested in.
Wolverine is getting his own Blood Hunt mini.
Jubilee is getting her own one shot by PREETI CHHIBBER • Enid Balám (A), so that should be fun. Plus, she has an invested interest in keeping vampires under control.

• After the Fall of the House of X, 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?
32 PGS./ONE-SHOT/Rated T+ …$3.99
Now here is the one shot I’m mostly excited about!
I’m not familiar with either ASHLEY ALLEN • Jesús Hervás (A), but I’m excited for the opportunity to get to know their work now.
Plus, that Peach Momoko (who is a real person, by the way), variant cover? So much fun!
I don’t see any X-Men on any of the main series covers, so I imagine they are only involved in the stories we’re told they are involved in.

THE END OF AN ERA – UNCANNY X-MEN #700!
All good things must come to an end, and as good of a thing as the Krakoan era has been for mutantkind…its time has come at last. The tragedy and triumph of FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X, the madness and mystery of RISE OF THE POWERS OF X…they have all come to their end and led to this moment that will change the future of mutantkind for years to come. Written and drawn by an all-star cast of writers and artists who have shaped the Krakoan Age, this is one milestone no X-Fan will want to miss! Also featuring a story of family by X-Men master Chris Claremont…and a glimpse of things to come!
88 PGS./Rated T+ …$9.99
an end of an era, and a $10 comic, but it is also 88 pages, so we’re getting a lot for our buck. Plus, Lockheed is on the main cover! We are also getting an epilogue into the next era at the end of this.
Jason Aaron is writing an Uncle Scrooge series? As he’s about to launch TMNT with a new number one? He’s back, baby.
Ultimates 1, with an interesting cast of characters – Iron Lad (Stark), Captain America, Doom, Thor and Sif – but if this deals directly with the Maker stuff, probably be a pass for me. Unless Ultimate Magik shows up in this.
Ultimate X-Men 4, Nico of the Runaways joins the team! So who knows what is possible here in the Ultimate Universe.
Venomverse Reborn, is a hard pass for me, just on name alone.
X-MEN: HEIR OF APOCALYPSE #1 (OF 4)
STEVE FOXE • NETHO DIAZ (A)
Cover by DOTUN AKANDE
APOCALYPSE MARVEL MASTERPIECES III VARIANT COVER BY GREG & TIM HILDEBRANDT
APOCALYPSE MARVEL MASTERPIECES III VIRGIN VARIANT COVER BY GREG & TIM HILDEBRANDT
VARIANT COVER BY DAVI GO
For centuries, Apocalypse tested the mutants of Earth to guarantee that only the strong would survive. Now, as he takes his throne on Arakko, another must rise in his place and ensure the mutants of Earth do not grow weak in his absence! Twelve mutants chosen from the X-Men’s greatest heroes – and villains – will compete for the honor, but only one can become…the HEIR OF APOCALYPSE!
40 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
Awkwardly being squeezed in between the end of Krakoa and From the Ashes, we get another attempt at The Twelve.
Emma Frost is supposed to be involved, and it is written by Steve Fox, so it should be a good read. We get two issues out in June.
X-Men 97 4 of 4 concludes, also by Steve Foxe. Hopefully he earns an ongoing eventually.
Wolverine : Madripoor Knights 5 of 5 concludes.
Ms. Marvel : Mutant Menace 4 of 4, shame we keep losing an issue for each new mini this amazing creative team gets. Going back to her Inhumans roots, probably isn’t great as we are about to launch a new X-Men era. Will she be there?
Deadpool Role-Plays the Marvel Universe sounds fun.
I’m not sure why Minnie Mouse is Dazzler on a Disney What If variant to Amazing Spider-Man 51, but now I have to check these variants for any other X-Men references.
What If Venom 5 of 5 ends, so maybe we can get some fun What Ifs now.
Venom 3 is supposed to come to theaters this year, so I get they have to get all of these new stories in stores, but it seems like so much month to month.
JMS is back at Marvel, and writing Captain America 10?! I got to start paying more attention to these other books.
That’s a lot of Star Wars titles to scroll pass.
. . .
Trades –
Ghost Rider 2099 Omnibus $100
ROM Marvel Years Omnibus 3 $125
Dazzler Omnibus $150, this does seem like quite a deal, just for the 42 issues alone, but they included so much more!
Collecting X-MEN (1963) #130-131, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #203, DAZZLER (1981) #1-42, MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL (1982) #12, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST #1-4, SECRET WARS II #4, and material from WHAT IF (1977) #33 and MARVEL FANFARE (1982) #38.
X-Men : X-Tinction Agenda Omnibus seems like the perfect way to read that story, $125
. . .
so not a bad month for trades, and very light for X-Men comics, so Blood Hunt came out at the perfect time.
