Marvel Comics will once more celebrate the holidays this winter, with ten festive variant covers featuring beloved characters including Hulk, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. These variants, from some of the top artists in the comic book industry, are gifts to collectors and casual fans alike, and are guaranteed to make Marvel fans merry.

Aipt revealed a first-look at Marvel's slate of "Winter Holiday Variant Covers" shipping with some of its top titles at the end of 2024, which will be released throughout December including several on Christmas Day itself.

Perhaps the stand-out among the covers is Greg Land's Incredible Hulk #20 variant, which features the eponymous giant green hero dressed as Santa Claus, with a sack of Avengers gear Iron Man's helmet, Captain America's shield, and Thor's hammer at his side, as Black Cat, Spider-Man, Luke Cage, and Captain Marvel pose behind him.

Marvel's 2024 Holiday Variant Covers End...

Marvel Comics brought plenty of big news to the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday during its stacked "Marvel Fanfare" panel.

It kicked off with the news that the Marvel Universe is getting a new Deadpool. In the wake of Wade Wilson's death, his daughter Ellie will take over the mantle and is rocking a very cool costume (the weekend Deadpool & Wolverine is released in theaters feels like a strange time to share this announcement).

Just Revealed At #Marvelsdcc:

Next up is a new Spider-Girl, a character who will debut in the pages of Spider-Boy. Peter...

Spider-girl's backstory will surpass Spider-Boy's origin, fueling speculation and keeping readers guessing. Debuting in Spider-boy #12, the new Spider-Hero by Slott and Michael Cho will captivate fans. Get ready for an epic team-up with Daredevil in the upcoming issue of Spider-boy!

The Spider-Man Family adds an all-new member in the form of Spider-Girl. Last year, the Spider-Verse got unexpectedly bigger with the debut of Spider-Boy, especially with the revelation that hed apparently been by Spideys side since the beginning.

Now, per an announcement from Marvel, its Spider-Girls time to leap onto the page starting in Spider-Boy #12 by Dan Slott, Michael Cho, and Paco Medina. Medinas cover art with variant covers by Mark Bagley and Elizabeth Torque can be viewed below. Now, its time to speculate as far as who Spider-Girl could be, where shes come from, and how this could change the Spider-Verse forever.

Spider-Man makes a deal with a mysterious figure to help Spider-Boy prove his existence, despite the risks. Spider-Man's motivation is to support and mentor Spider-Boy, unlike the infamous "One More Day" storyline. Spider-Boy #9, available July 10, 2024, explores the consequences of this new 'deal with the devil'.

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Spider-Boy #9! One of the most infamous Spider-Man stories in Marvel Comics is One More Day, which saw Peter Parker making a deal with the devil (Mephisto) in order to save Aunt May and restore his secret identity, which came at the price of his and MJs mutual love, and the life of their daughter that was never born. Fans hated it, and still consider it one of the worst Spider-Man stories ever told. But now, Marvel Comics has a chance to redeem One More Day, as Spider-Man is repeating his hated deal with the devil.

In a preview for Spider-Boy #9 by Dan Slott,...

Marvel is releasing a series of variant covers starring Godzilla over September. The initiative is intended to celebrate the release of Godzilla #1 Facsimilie Edition and Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus. Pete Woods' cover shows Iron Man battling against Godzilla, piloting a gigantic red and silver suit clearly designed for the task.

Tony Stark's Iron Man is known for having a custom suit of armor for every occasion, whether it's a raging gamma monster or the God of Symbiotes - however, few fans knew he has a suit ready to take down Godzilla. Now, as Marvel pits the King of Monsters against its biggest heroes, fans get to see Tony Stark's Godzillabuster in stunning action.

Across September, Marvel will be publishing a series of variant covers in association with Toho International, showing iconic Marvel heroes and villains in battle against Godzilla. The initiative is intended to celebrate the release...

In Immortal Thor #14, Thor faces off against his Olympian counterpart Zeus, with the story promising of a battle of more than just brute force, but also the wisdom of the gods. Immortal Thor writer Al Ewing has focused his series on exploring what true power means, and how to wield it beyond just displays of strength, diving into the essence of Thor being the Asgardian All-Father and one of Marvel's most powerful deities. The upcoming clash between Thor and Zeus may reveal where Zeus draws his power from, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and wisdom in winning the day.

Thor may be Marvels Asgardian All-Father at the moment, but hes not the only thunder god in town, as the threat of Zeus threatens to rear its head once again. With Zeus in an unstable, evil state, it may be up to Thor and Hercules to best not only him, but another returning villain.

Marvel is celebrating the release of Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus with a Godzilla vs Wolverine face-off. Over September, Marvel will be releasing 21 variant covers showing Godzilla taking on its most iconic heroes. In Roge Antonio's art for Wolverine #2, Godzilla's atomic breath strips the flesh from Wolverine's unbreakable bones.

While Wolverine's healing factor may have withstood some of the deadliest weapons (and deadliest individuals) in Marvel lore, his new battle against Godzilla pushes its limits like only the King of Monsters' atomic breath can. Wolverine is taking on Godzilla as part of Marvel's celebrations for the upcoming release of Godzilla #1 Facsimile Edition and Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus.

Over September, Marvel has revealed it will be publishing 21 variant covers showing its iconic heroes going toe-to-toe with Godzilla. The epic collaboration with Toho International brings Godzilla back into the Marvel Universe to honor its 1977-1979 series from Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe,...

In 1977, Godzilla became one of Marvel Comics' biggest stars, headlining a hit solo series set in the heart of the Marvel Universe.

Now, thanks to an exciting new collaboration with Toho International, the Japanese studio's U.S.-based subsidiary, this host of monumental Godzilla escapades co-starring many Marvel superheroes will be collected next year in Godzilla: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus.

To celebrate the Omnibus which assembles Doug Moench and Herb Trimpe's entire 24-issue run in colour for the first time, Marvel Comics plans to release brand-new "Godzilla Variant Covers" on select September issues.

Before we get to those, here's the official description for the upcoming hardcover:

Godzilla rises from the depths in the United States - and the Marvel Universe! See the towering scourge of Tokyo march across America and battle some of the best and brightest the House of Ideas had to offer, including the Fantastic Four,...

After 5 years of epic storytelling, X-Men's ambitious Krakoan Era has finally come to an end - the perfect time to look back at the wittiest and cruelest X-Men insults of the last five years. Mister Sinister appears multiple times, as the callous villain lays bare his disdain for everyone who isn't 'Sinister.' Villains Apocalypse and Doctor Doom also get to cut the X-Men down to size. However, the deepest cuts come from your allies, as Storm, Magneto, Iron Man and Emma Frost all deliver incendiary putdowns.

After 5 years of epic storytelling, X-Men's ambitious Krakoan Era has finally come to an end. For years, the X-Men ran a new mutant homeland on the island of Krakoa, where they welcomed all mutants - even former villains - to join them in forging a new society where they would no longer be hated and feared. Indeed, for much of this period,...

Spider-Boy #7 brings back the classic "walloping web-snappers!" catchphrase from the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon. The use of this catchphrase is a subtle nod to Spider-Man's rich history, in popular culture, something that Marvel Comics is right to pay tribute to. Author Dan Slott's use of the archaic catchphrase in Spider-Boy #7 pays homage to classic Spider-Man content without overshadowing the story.

One forgotten catchphrase from Spider-Man's 1960s era has been brought back with new meaning. The Wallcrawler always flourishes in animated form, especially the animated series which helped birth the Spider-Verse. However, one cartoon that can't be forgotten is the original 1967 animated Spider-Man. It may not have been as beloved as the 1990s cartoon, but it is just as historically important.

Spider-Boy #7 written by Dan Slott, with art by Paco Medina brings back an iconic exclamation, popularized by the Webslinger in the '60s Spider-Man cartoon: "walloping web-snappers!"

Logan's practicality shines through in his wide array of costumes, balancing usefulness with style effortlessly. From the New Fantastic Four to House of M Red Guard, Wolverine's suits reflect his ever-evolving roles and responsibilities. The Ultimate X-Men suit and the Ablation Armor showcase how Logan's personality shapes the bold and dynamic choices in his attire.

As one of the most iconic Marvel characters, Wolverine has multiple unforgettable versions of his costume throughout comics, with enough standouts to match his esteemed reputation. While the original tiger stripe costume from Wolverine's first fight with Hulk, or his brown and yellow suit are the most recognizable to audiences, he has had a number of lesser-known, but still eye-catching, suits.

Despite his function-over-fashion preference, many of Wolverine's costumes and X-Men uniforms have looked just as incredible as they are pragmatic. From the time he was swathed in blue as a member...

Phil Noto creates a striking black costume variant cover for Rogue in X-Men #34, offering a unique twist on her classic outfit.

Marvel commemorates 40 years of Spider-Man's iconic "Black Costume" with the release of black costume variant covers featuring various characters, including X-Men's Rogue and Jean Grey. Below, fans can find the variant covers for both heroines, which paint these two beloved characters in a new and inarguably badass light.

Fans can discover Phil Noto's black costume variant cover for Rogue in X-Men #34 by Gerry Duggan and Joshua Cassara. This variant cover is truly remarkable, offering a unique and utterly badass twist on Rogue's classic skintight X-Men outfit.

Spider-Boy teams up with Spider-Man to fight a supervillain, but the people of New York City don't believe he's a hero. Spider-Boy is in the same position as Spider-Man was when he first started out, trying to win over the public and be seen as a true hero. Spider-Boy claims he has years of superhero experience, but now he has to start over and figure out how to regain the love and trust of the public.

Warning: Spoilers for Spider-Boy #1!There is a new sidekick in town - and a new target that New York City hates just as much as it used to hate Spider-Man. Spider-Boy is one of the newest additions to the Marvel roster, except one thing sets him apart from other new heroes: the Boy in question claims he's been around all along, everyone just forgot about him. Spider-Boy's new series will see him trying to...

A terrifying new cover for Spider-Boy #3 by the talented Humberto Ramos features the monstrous transformation of Bailey Briggs, the new unwanted sidekick of Spider-Man. Bailey debuted in Edge of Spider-Verse as a young spider-hero whose identity and past had apparently been erased from Earth-616, devastating the 10-year-old hero.

The impressive Arachnid-Kid's tragic history is slowly being revealed, with Marvel recently unveiling that a new villain - the vile Madame Monstrosity - is behind Bailey's grotesque spider transformation.

Spider-Boy's own solo series debuts this January, and a newly released cover for Spider-Boy #3, from writer Dan Slott and artist Paco Medina, by Humberto Ramos turns Bailey into his most ghastly self, highlighting the young hero's arachnid genetics and dark humor.

Spider-Boy Is A Creation Of The Vile Madame Monstrosity

Spider-Boy was restored to the Earth-616 universe after the Spider-Verse heroes defeated Shathra and released every Spider-hero that was trapped in Morlun's blade,...

Warning: Spoilers for Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #31 ahead!The majority of Spider-Man's foes are infamous for drawing upon animals for inspiration, but the debut of Spider-Boy's new nemesis comes with a shocking retcon: it turns out that this new villain, Madame Monstrosity, claims to have been behind Spider-Man's zoo of a rogues' gallery all along.

Madame Monstrosity makes her first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #31 in Dan Slott, Paco Medina, and Erick Arciniega's story "The Mother of Invention." Here she is revealed to be an elderly woman whose home is staffed by hybrid "humanimals" of her own creation.

When she sees a newspaper article detailing Spider-Boy's exploits, she accuses her daughter (supervillain Shannon Stillwell) of stealing her work. Madame Monstrosity then goes on to list the terrible fates that befell those who stole from her...revealing that she is responsible for creating the Lizard, Morbius, Rhino, Scorpion, and the Human Fly.

Warning: contains spoilers for The Amazing Spider-Man #31!Spider-Man just explained to Ms. Marvel how she died, and her reaction is unexpected but befitting of her character. It was earlier this summer that readers were shocked to learn that Kamala Khan was set to die in Spider-Man's ongoing series. A key ingredient of Rabin's apocalyptic plans was to kill Mary Jane. His ceremony was ruined when, instead, he killed Kamala, who had shapeshifted into Mj to save her.

Now that the newly established mutant Ms. Marvel has been resurrected following the Hellfire Gala, Spider-Man catches her up to speed on how she died. The moment takes place in a preview for Amazing Spider-Man #31 by Dan Slott, Zeb Wells, Kaare Andrews, Patrick Gleason, Mark Bagley, David López, Paco Medina, Emilio Laiso, Albert Monteys, Ze Carlos, Alba Glez, John Romita Jr., Scott Hanna, Marcio Menyz, Bryan Valenza, and Joe Caramagna. Surprisingly, Ms.

Note: Light spoilers ahead for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” may mark the end of the Guardians as we know them, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t continuing on. In fact, the film’s post-credits tag makes it explicitly clear that “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.” Now, you might be wondering if the word “legendary” signifies something important, or maybe someone new — and those instincts would be right.

The good news is “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” doesn’t actually kill off any of the Guardians, as many expected it to. There were a few scares between Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), but ultimately, they all survived. That said, they did kind of break up.

The end of the film sees the original Guardians go in several different directions. Peter heads back to Earth to find his...

Warning: Spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1In the Sins of Sinister dystopian future, an evil version of the X-Men's Professor X pushes his already impressive abilities to their limit, becoming a true mutant god. This Sinister-influenced Xavier becomes a living planet by absorbing the minds of the surrounding mutants, giving a twisted new meaning to his iconic catchphrase 'To me, my X-Men'.

In Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1, by Kieron Gillen, Paco Medina, Lucas Werneck, and Bryan Valenza, the latest epic X-Men saga comes to a conclusion, showing readers the end of the grim timeline created by Mr. Sinister when he took over Krakoa's Quiet Council by splicing his own evil genes into the mutant Resurrection Protocols. As Sinister is trying to reset the timeline by taking back his Moira Engine, the former X-Men try to stop him, including Professor X who can now conquer entire planets with the...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion & Immortal X-Men #11The horrific future timeline that occurred throughout the X-Men's Sins of Sinister event has finally been reset, but a devastating twist revealed that Charles Xavier, Hope Summers, Emma Frost, and Exodus are all still corrupted with Sinister's mind-virus. To prevent these incredibly powerful mutants from wreaking the sort of havoc seen in the alternate timeline, the Quiet Council is forced to send the four into Krakoa's Pit.

While the mutant nation of Krakoa was meant to be founded as a sort of abolitionist state where all mutants were free, the Quiet Council still forced the living island to form "the Pit," a prison-like cavity that holds criminals in stasis. While the Pit has been used and abused in recent months by Sabretooth and Nature Girl, the conclusion to Sins of Sinister confirms that it is the sole power capable...

Warning: Spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1The latest X-Men big event, Sins of Sinister, ends in an unexpected way by giving the villain Mr. Sinister the victory, just not in the way he expected. At the conclusion of the saga, Sinister sees his plan to ascend to the god-like status of Dominion foiled, but only because another version of himself accomplished it first.

Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1, by Kieron Gillen, Paco Medina, Lucas Werneck, and Bryan Valenza, is the final issue of the Sins of Sinister storyline that developed through various X-Men books over the course of three months. In the premise, Sinister is finally tired of playing at being a good guy and betrays Krakoa, murdering some members of the Quiet Council so that, once they are resurrected, they are infested by the 'Sinister-dna' the villain has secretly put in the Resurrection Protocols. Steered by the evil versions of its leaders,...

The reveal that Mister Sinister was just one of four clones created by Nathaniel Essex in the 1800s was shocking. The other three clones were slowly unveiled during the last few months as Orbis Stellaris, Doctor Stasis, and Mother Righteous, powerful individuals who are set on controlling mutantkind, and the entire universe, through any means necessary.

The following contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, now playing in theaters.

Peter Quill's superhero title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was always a deliberate joke. The character has more than a little Peter Pan in him -- a big kid not all that dissimilar from DC's Billy Batson -- and naturally gives himself a big-kid title: "Star-Lord." Of course, no one's heard of him: a gag that more or less kicks off the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and remains one of the saga's most consistent running jokes.

That changed as he made his way through the galaxy, and the moniker eventually attained the respect he desired (in as much as anything the Guardians do merits respect from the rest of the galaxy). But in the process, the MCU never quite clarified why he uses it. It's a reasonably anonymous title, which is part of...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!

Star-Lord has a new name in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the Legendary Star-Lord, and it teases a big future for Chris Pratt's character. Peter Quill once again works with the Guardians of the Galaxy team to save the universe in the Phase 5 movie. Still reeling from Gamora's death in Avengers: Infinity War, Star-Lord reflects on his life decisions throughout Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and what role he needs to play in protecting the galaxy. Mantis repeatedly tells him that he needs to reconnect with the human family he has ignored for over 30 years, leading to Star-Lord making a life-changing decision.

After helping found and lead the Guardians of the Galaxy since 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy 3's ending sees Star-Lord walk away from the team. His return to Earth and reunion with his...

Spoiler Alert: Spoilers Ahead for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 end credits scene ended with those fateful words that Star-Lord “will return.” But some fans aren’t so sure. Star-Lord was last seen at his grandfather’s house discussing his frustration with doing mundane chores. Peter Quill has gone from battling evil around the galaxy to battling weeds in the neighbor’s lawn. Some fans believe that now there are new Guardians of the Galaxy, Star-Lord will remain at home. Other fans think that because Chris Pratt was canceled, we won’t see him in the MCU anymore.

In 2019, Chris Pratt was accused of attending a church known for preaching hate toward the Lgbtqia+ community. His popularity suffered immensely despite the rumors being false and Chris Pratt receiving support from his fellow MCU co-stars. But Pratt is known for his friendly demeanor on set.

This article contains Guardians of the Galaxy 3 spoilers

The final track might’ve played on James Gunn’s time with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but rest assured, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 isn’t quite the end of the story. While series mainstays Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldaña, and Sean Gunn claim they’re also done, one lovable rogue is sticking around for more. Aside from Chris Pratt himself teasing Peter Quill’s return, Guardians of Galaxy Vol. 3 quite literally spells it out for us.

A cryptic post-credits teaser of “The Legendary Star-Lord will return” confirms the music-loving hero has at least one more MCU outing in his arsenal. Don’t expect Pratt to suddenly lead a Disney+ Star-Lord series next week, and remember, he’s already expressed an interest in joining Gunn in the DC Universe. As it’s simply a case of when Star-Lord will be blasting off again,...

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 Wolverine’s adamantium skeleton is an intrinsic aspect to his character, as it not only makes him one of the most formidable members of the X-Men in Marvel Comics history, but it is also the cornerstone to his entire backstory. And now, there’s a new mutant that’s just been introduced in X-Men continuity who has his own version of Wolverine’s unbreakable skeleton, but with one significant upgrade.

When James “Logan” Howlett aka Wolverine was a younger man, he was abducted by a sub-sect of the Weapon Plus Program designated Weapon X. The goal of Weapon X was to create the ultimate living weapon, specifically with mutants. To do that, the scientists needed a very specific kind of mutant, one who was inherently designed for killing–and then they found the perfect one: Wolverine. Wolverine has a healing factor,...

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1 X-Men fans everywhere are familiar with Magneto and his iconic helmet, which he wears to protect himself from psychic attacks, but what they may not know is the shocking inspiration behind the helmet.

Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto first debuted his anti-psychic helmet in X-Men #1, and since then it’s been a mainstay for his character. Not only does it convey dark intimidation while more often than not blanketing his face in shadow, but its function is unparalleled, especially given his arch nemesis. Professor Charles Xavier is one of the most powerful telepaths in history, and he has committed himself and his mutant militant team known as the X-Men to monitoring Magneto and everything he does, given Erik’s penchant for deadly mutant extremism. And that is what makes the origin of Magneto’s helmet so shockingly ironic. To contend with his ultimate nemesis,...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Sins of Sinister: DominionThe iconic mutant chimera Rasputin IV - first introduced in 2019's Powers of X - has finally entered Marvel's main Earth-616 reality, joining the X-Men on Krakoa after the millennia-long horror that was Sins of Sinister.

The original Rasputin IV introduced in Powers of X was an incredibly super-powered warrior working alongside Apocalypse's X-Men in an attempt to take down Nimrod, only to be killed along with her peers by the black hole inside of Xorn's head. Since then, fans of the gorgeously designed and impressive hero have clamored for her introduction to Earth-616. Now, in Sins of Sinister: Dominion they have finally got their wish granted.

Sins of Sinister: Dominion - from writer Kieron Gillen and artists Paco Medina and Lucas Werneck - is the finale of the grand alternate timeline that saw Mister Sinister corrupt the Quiet Council and turn them vastly evil.

Warning: Contains a preview for Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1A terrifying mash-up of Galactus and Ghost Rider looms in the Sins of Sinister finale. The Sins of Sinister X-Men event has seen Nathaniel Essex rewrite the timeline in his image, creating a dynasty that stretched for a thousand years. All good things must come to an end, and in a first look at April’s Sins of Sinister: Dominion #1, readers witness the end of Sinister’s reign–as well as a Spirit of Vengeance Galactus.

Marvel's website unveiled a special, unlettered four-page preview of the issue, which will be written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Lucas Werneck and Paco Medina. In addition to the Ghost Rider/Galactus mashup menacing a space station, the first look includes Professor X, corrupted by Mister Sinister, driving a tank over praying acolytes. Finally, Mother Righteous, the magic-wielding clone of Mister Sinister, roams a massive library,...

A fan-favorite Spider-Man meme is killed outright by the X-Men as the group does away with old villains, all in the service of Mr. Sinister. Nathaniel Essex has finally conquered the world after weaponizing his Moira clones, and the world has changed for the worse. But Immoral X-Men #1 suggests that Mr. Sinister isn't just taking over villains - he's getting rid of all the ones who could cause him trouble.

Written by Keiron Gillen with art by Paco Medina, Immoral X-Men #1 chronicles the life of Mr. Sinister as he finally acquires everything he's ever wanted - and is now surrounded by enemies of his own making. Desperate to escape his clones, reset the timeline and create a world in which he doesn't have to share power with his other selves, Sinister runs away from the new Quiet Council. The other X-Men are in hot pursuit, scanning Sinister's likely hideouts,...

A new variant cover for Venom #18, drawn by the talented Paco Medina, gives Eddie Brock the true King in Black treatment, casting the former host of Venom as a valiant warrior with impressive armor, an Odin-like missing eye, and a new version of All-Black the Necrosword, honoring his status as Marvel God.

Eddie Brock famously killed the dark God Knull in King in Black #6, becoming the new King in Black as well as earning the title of God of Symbiotes, but since then the troubled man has been in freefall, trapped outside of time by a villainous future version of himself named Meridius, and becoming estranged from his son Dylan Brock, the new host of Venom.

Venom #18 - written by Al Ewing with art by Cafu - sees Eddie's dark and mysterious journey continue after the conclusion of the tumultuous Dark Web event, and while Brock is perhaps in the...

Don’t be fooled by the glittering lights and bright colors of Marvel’s Murderworld, it’s not a place of amusement, and in the upcoming one-shot, Murderworld: Spider-Man, members of the Spider-Verse will make their entrance into this amusement park of death. This comic will offer fans multiple versions of the wall-crawler who are prepared to hunt, kill, and terrorize the hapless visitors, as part of the larger Murderworld crossover event, which also features the Avengers and Wolverine.

The Spider-Verse has been an enduring concept over the past decade of Marvel Comics. Alternate world versions of Spider-Man have become so well-known that they have spawned successful spin-off books like Spider-Gwen and Spider-Punk. The Spider-Verse concept dates back to 2014’s Amazing Spider-Man #9 by Dan Slott and Olivier Coipel, but has continued in multiple titles over the years and has culminated recently in 2022’s End of the Spider-Verse event, which has...

A new Wolverine one-shot, Murderworld: Wolverine — part of a large Murderworld event also focusing on the Avengers and Spider-Man — is the absolutely ideal fan service comic with not only the entire "Snikt Family" in feature roles, but also multiple version of James Logan Howlett from throughout his X-Men comic history.

Logan's version of Wolverine is one of the most enduring characters in all superhero media, and Wolverine is arguably the most mainstream popular X-Men character of all time, sharing that space with other classic mutants like Storm, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, and Jean Grey. Wolverine quickly rose to prominence after his X-Men debut in Giant-Size X-Men (1975), offering readers and writers an opportunity to diversify the genre of X-Books by focusing on Logan's seedy past, violent tendencies, and complex rebellious attitude.
