Warning! Massive spoilers for Marvel's Aliens vs. Avengers ahead!

Marvel just killed off Iron Manin spectacular fashion, as the Aliens vs. Avengers miniseries concludes by giving Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a vital interstellar mission: seek out Xenomorphs and eradicate them, not just across the universe, but throughout the entire Marvel Multiverse. In addition to setting up a potential sequel, this also provides Tony Stark with one of his most iconic demises yet.

Aliens vs. Avengers #4, written by Jonathan Hickman, with art by Esad Ribić, caps off the satisfying integration of the Xenomorphs into Marvel lore, and though the crossover ultimately proves fatal to Tony Stark, his final words are a hard-earned triumph for the grizzled, older take on the character.

“Avenge all of our fallen brothers and sisters. Avenge all our fallen worlds,” Tony tells his team in an emotional posthumous message, “And if you don’t mind it too much…...

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Wolverine #10!

Wolverine’s father just made an unexpected return to Marvel canon, in order to confront his son from beyond the grave, in the most ominous possible way: as a life-sucking specter, of sorts, a power that offers a dark counterpoint to Logan’s healing abilities. Wolverine’s latest adventure has forced him to face the ghosts of his past in multiple ways, but this is the most literal instance yet.

Wolverine #10, written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Javier Pina, sends Logan back to the Howlett Estate, the site of his traumatic origin story. There, he is accosted by wraith-like apparitions of both John Howlett, the man he grew up believing was his father, and Thomas Logan, his biological sire.

The wraiths of both long-dead men prove to be more than just spooky apparitions, as they proceed to attack Wolverine, and nearly drain him of his life force,...

Warning! Spoilers for Ultimate Wolverine #6 ahead!

Marvel’s darkly innovative Ultimate Universe just unveiled what might be the most dangerous, no-holds-barred X-Menteam in franchise lore, shifting the status quo of this ongoing alternative continuity storyline, while leaving fans wondering how one major player, Jean Grey, will fit into the narrative before all is said and done.

Ultimate Wolverine #6, written by Chris Condon, with art by Alex Lins, officially introduces the X-Men squad fans have been clamoring for, while also featuring a pivotal milestone, as the brainwashed Ultimate version of Logan is freed from his mind control, and finally rejoins his mutant allies.

In addition to that, the issue adds a great deal of lore to Marvel’s expanding Ultimate timeline, elaborating on the history of mutantkind in this version of the world, while also hinting at what is to come.

The latest issue of Marvel's Miles Moralesseries just dropped a major update to the character's family lore, as the young Spider-hero's own personal "Clone Saga" takes another step forward, with his clone "Shift" adopting the name Jaime Morales, honoring Miles' grandfather and officially becoming more enmeshed with the Morales family.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #31 – written by Cody Ziglar, with art by Luigi Zagaria – moves the story of Miles' "brother" Shift a step forward, reinforcing that Marvel considers the character to be an integral part of this corner of the publisher's vast Spider-Man mythos.

Fans have immediately begun to speculate what is in store for Shift, the freshly christened Jaime Morales, in the short and long-term future of the franchise – with some even suggesting that among Marvel's plethora of Spider-titles, he be the next to receive his own series.

Contains Spoilers for Sentinels (2024) #4!The X-Men’s most recent villain team, the new mutant-hunting Sentinels, have a dark secret that even they didn’t know until now, and it includes a connection to a classic hero that no one ever thought would return. Sentinels’ story has turned one of the most wholesome Marvel characters of yesteryear into a twisted horrorshow, but there may still be hope for him yet.

Sentinels #4 – written by Alex Paknadel, with art by Justin Mason – has revealed the secret hero being exploited to create this new team of villains, Justin Seyfert, protagonist of the original 2000s Sentinel comic.

The current series has hinted that the tech powering the titular team of villainous, albeit exploited, cyborgs has another origin besides its supposed inventor, Larry Trask. Issue #4 reveals that the entire program was derived from Justin Seyfert, turned into a cyborg by the base programming of his ‘pet’ Sentinel,...

Warning! Spoilers for last year's Wolverine #50, and speculation about this year's Wolverine #7 ahead!

The advanced synopsis for an upcoming issue of Marvel's current ongoing Wolverine series teases "a surprising return you'll have to read to believe" – and, for better or worse, I have a feeling it's going to be the hero's arch-nemesis Sabretooth, less than a full year after he was killed off in a climactic confrontation with Logan at the end of the Sabretooth War arc, which concluded the previous Wolverine series.

Wolverine #7 – written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Martín Cóccolo – also promises a "shock twist," as Marvel continues its attempt to push its most iconic mutant character in a bold new direction.

That said, Sabretooth War was a genuinely epic culmination of over four years of ambitious storytelling. It set an imposingly high bar, and constituted an incredibly hard act to follow for the relaunched title – something...

Iron Man has always led a complicated life, but his experiences in the alternate future of Avengers: Twilight complicated the circumstances of his death and afterlife, as well. After being confined to one of the most horrifying existences I can imagine, his head preserved and mined for ideas, Tony died to save the world – only to end up in alcohol-soaked Valhalla, never knowing what real peace feels like.

Avengers: Twilight – written by Chip Zdarsky, with art by Daniel Acuña – was among the most tragic timelines I can recall in Avengers lore, but Tony bore the brunt of it. At the final hour, he had the chance to save the world for his loved ones, but the reward for his service ended up being a nightmarish eternity.

Rather than let his friend go, Thor secures a spot for Iron Man in Valhalla. On paper, it sounds exquisite, but all I can...

Marvel's Ultimate Universe just offered an incredible Kraven the Hunter moment, which fans of the legendary villain should absolutely check out if they were underwhelmed by the cinematic take on the character's origins. In an homage to the antagonist's most classic arcs, Ultimate Spider-Man has quickly established itself as the definitive contemporary take on the character.

Ultimate Spider-Man #12 – written by Jonathan Hickman, with art by Marco Checchetto – concludes with the shocking reveal that fledgling superheroes Peter Parker and Harry Osborn have been captured by Kraven, with the pair set to become Kraven’s newest prey in the coming issues of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Ultimate Kraven has quickly confirmed that he is as deadly as ever before, in a story arc that is likely to "scratch an itch," so to speak, for Spidey fans who weren't satisfied by Sony's Kraven standalone film.

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Marvel's Infinity Watch #1

Marvel has just made a shocking change to its cosmic lore, confirming which of the Infinity Stones is the most powerful – proving it is not the one Thanos thinks it is. Though the Mad Titan previously cited the Time Stone as the most dangerous of the set, the debut issue of the new Infinity Watch series declares that, in fact, the Mind Stone is the most essential.

Infinity Watch #1 – written by Derek Landy, with art by Ruairí Coleman – ends with a shocking cliffhanger, as the final page reveals that new antagonist Avery Zavala has killed Colleen Wing, the bearer of the Mind Stone, and claimed it for himself.

With this, Zavala threatens to overwrite Marvel's mainstream universe with his own home reality, and previews for the next issue suggest his first step toward achieving this goal will be to turn Phil Coulson,...

In order to become a Magia Vander, Will needs to get enough credits to move to the Upper Academy in the Mercedes Caulis before his sixth and final year at Regarden Magical Academy is up. This goal is shaped by the fact that Will cannot perform magic, so his methods for getting credits are limited and require perfection.

Contains Spoilers for Avengers (2023) #21 and X-Men (2024) #8!Iron Man has had many teammates over his long Avengers tenure, but Marvel Comics has finally brought back a friendship that’s been sorely lacking for decades now, his camaraderie with X-Men's Beast. As the Avengers and Cyclops' X-Men seek to reaffirm their alliance, Tony Stark and Hank McCoy are given the perfect pretext to catch up.

In Avengers (2023) #21 – written by Jed MacKay, with art by Valerio Schiti – Iron Man and Beast remind readers of their friendship, reintroducing a dynamic that has been missing for a while now. Both characters arcs over the past several years have taken them to dark places, and this rekindled “bromance” could be exactly what both characters need.

With the Avengers and X-Men catching up after a baseball game, Tony takes the opportunity to chat with Hank alone in a conversation that reaffirms why their tenure together on...

As a comic book fan, I am thrilled with how Jed MacKay’s ongoing Moon Knight saga has proven that the character, without a doubt, is a Marvel Legend. The series of books, covering 2021’s Moon Knight, 2024’s Vengeance of the Moon Knight, and the ongoing Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, all stand out within the character’s expansive history as some of the best stories told with the character.

While I was reading Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #2 – written by Jed MacKay, with art by Alessandro Cappuccio – I was taken aback by the appearance of Cubist, an obscure Moon Knight villain who had only appeared in two issues which were published in 1993. His sudden reappearance helped me put into words a quality that makes Jed MacKay’s Moon Knight stand out, and it’s the attention to continuity and history.

Much more than that, Jed MacKay ties Moon Knight...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Avengers #21!!

In the decades since their introduction, the Avengers have housed some of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe, including the team's current leader, Captain Marvel. Not all heroes are created equally, however, and Carol admits that she doesn't want to be compared to former honorary Avenger: Rick Jones. While Rick's association with the team goes back to its very creation, he doesn't stack up to Captain Marvel's standards.

In Avengers #21 – by writer Jed MacKay, with art by Valerio Schiti – as Captain Marvel and Cyclops begin to unite their respective teams, Scott reminds her that she was once an honorary X-Men herself. Though this is true, and Carol was part of the X-Men despite not being a mutant, she's quick to inform him that she was "never [their] Rick Jones."

Jones, whose association with the Avengers began after his role in Bruce Banner's initial Hulk transformation,...

True heroism will always elude Wolverine, and as a reader, I think that it’s for the better. The character has always been plagued by a darker side, constantly dividing him between the better nature he tries to adhere to and his animal ferocity. No matter how hard Logan tries, he’ll never be able to become a true hero, as the latest issue of his solo series proves.

Wolverine #3 – written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Martín Cóccolo – continues the protagonist's confrontation with Marvel's newest Wendigo, Leonard; rather than fight him, however, Logan must help him, while also surviving pursuit by Department H.

While Wolverine is able to keep Department H from attacking Leonard, he finds himself attacked by Leonard. Briefly, Logan gives into his instincts and slashes at Leonard with his claws, before being broken out of his rage by Leonard asking him to stop. Wolverine then stops...

The death of Spider-Man's Uncle Ben, alongside his oft-misquoted philosophy, "with great power there must also come great responsibility," set the tenor for Spider-Man's entire career. Yet a seemingly off-hand remark between Spider-Man and Ben Parker in Marvel's Ultimate Universe has given readers a reason to doubt Spider-Man's entire ethos, forcing readers to wonder how Ben Parker would have reacted to his nephew becoming Spider-Man.

Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) #11 written by Jonathan Hickman, with art by David Messina concludes with Peter Parker meeting his Uncle Ben at Aunt May's memorial, in a moment that pays off the creative decision to invert Ben and May's roles in the fledgling Webslinger's life.

Marvel's original Hulk, Tammuz, was even more brutal and powerful than Bruce Banner. Tammuz's control of his powers sets him apart from the internal struggle between Banner and the Hulk. Tammuz's ability to direct his fury outwards on enemies highlights Banner's weakness in The Incredible Hulk #15.

The Young Avengers are today the stars of multiple fan-favorite runs, but when the concept was originally pitched, the reception wasnt as rapturous. With a potential MCU incarnation of the team on the horizon, its worth examining both Young Avengers series, and their legacy, in more detail, as well exploring how each of them could inform a possible adaptation.

In his most recent newsletter, original Young Avengers editor Tom Brevoort detailed the lack of faith behind the series just from the name alone, which seems absurd in retrospect.

The idea of doing Young Avengers might have seemed gimmicky in the early-2000s where Marvel really was throwing ideas at the wall. In the aftermath of their late 90s bankruptcy, the company had begun to regain their footing under editor in chief Joe Quesada, with projects like Marvel Knights and the Ultimate Universe proving successful, but not every idea worked, and...

Marvel has launched its latest Avengers team book, with Captain America leading a star-studded new squad including two characters who get their first shot at proving they rank among Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Avengers Assemble #1 written by Steve Orlando, with art by Cory Smith offers a two-pronged introduction for Captain America's new team, as those who arrive at Avengers' headquarters early immediately find themselves thrown into an action-heavy mission. Those who showed up slightly late, on the other hand, have the opportunity to get to know each other back at the base.

As one of Marvel's show-stealing characters, Deadpool has undergone several costume changes over the years. From joining the X-Men to undergoing personality changes, Wade Wilson has an outfit for every occasion. While his iconic appearance that began in his debut will always be one of his best, his other costumes shouldn't be overlooked.

There are several variants of Marvel's funniest mercenary, including Lady Deadpool and Kidpool. However, Deadpool is at his best when Wade is at the helm of the character. The Merc with a Mouth has several infamous one-off costumes, many of which were not mainstays and did not last long enough to be counted among his best. To be the best, Deadpool's suits have to allow him to jump into action readily and keep him easily recognizable.

Luckily, the team have just recruited one of the few heroes who can outmatch him, but that doesnt mean its going to be an easy task.

The preview for the upcoming Avengers #18 written by Jed MacKay, art by Valerio Schiti describes how, with enough velocity, the villainous Hyperion could crack Earth in half with a single blow.

Having decided that the existence of this Earth invalidates the supposed perfection of his own alternate version, Hyperion has decided to do exactly that. He announced his intentions to the world and is on a literal collision course with all of Earths heroes. Now, its up to the Avengers, who in the last issue recruited Storm, to stop him.

Moon Knight is such a radically non-traditional hero that some fans question whether he could even be considered a hero at all.
