Finally, Spider-Gwen is making her way (almost) permanently to the main Marvel Universe proper. This series replaces SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER [2018], and she’s splitting her time between her universe and the main Marvel U. It’s okay, I’ll accept partial custody over none. “GWEN STACY MAKES HER WAY TO THE MARVEL UNIVERSE. With a cloud of infamy hanging over her head on Earth-65, GWEN STACY now travels to Earth-616 for super hero action… and school? The newest student at ESU is about to get a crash course in multiversity as she splits her time between the world she loves and the world she’s just getting to know. But what devious villain has eyes on Gwen’s travels? Is Gwen ready for what comes […]

Carol Danvers’ quiet night with BFF Jessica Drew (a.k.a. Spider-Woman) takes a cat-astrophic turn when Manhattan’s bodegas are suddenly overrun by a host of angry felines. And not just any felines-Flerkens, the most terrifying, pocket-dimension-holding, tentacle-devouring kitty-look-alikes in the entire universe. Carol’s paw-sitive she can handle the situation on her own, but questions remain: can she overcome the fur-midible foes before it’s too late? How well does the ‘Find My Phone’ function actually work?

If you only read one Batman limited series this year, Neal Adams is not a bad bet for high quality.

Warren Ellis continues his Wildstorm Universe story with the Wildcats team. This team has been around in comics since 1992! Keep. It.

This team-up duo has historically been a great read. Definitely worth checking out! “Up in the sky, in the dark of the night, trust no one-for the Secret Six walk among us.

This kind of series is what’s best about the Marvel Universe. You can group some minor characters together and craft a compelling story. Yeah, maybe it won’t last past 10 or 12 issues, but it still gives readers the impression that the Marvel U is unexpectedly large. “A BRAND-NEW SERIES STRAIGHT FROM THE PAGES OF FANTASTIC FOUR. When the Richards family is called back to Earth to be the Fantastic Four again, they left behind the Future Foundation – a think tank of the most brilliant young minds in the universe – with one mission: to find the pieces of and rebuild their friend Molecule Man.
