New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – February 12 2025

Next week is the 7th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics February 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: North’s One World Under Doom debuts, Eddie Brock goes red, 80s Spidey hits classic omni, Epic Young Avengers, arc-enders from Spider-Boy & Spider-Gwen, return of Utgard-Thor, two flavors of Cable, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: As tempted as I am to say Magik (2025) #2 after her smash hit first issue, I have to go with my heart and pick One World Under Doom (2025) #1 (of 9) penned by Ryan North. I’ve been cheering for North since the very start of his web comic days. It’s wild to see the web comic darling of 20 years ago steering a major Marvel event for arguably their signature villain. More on what North might in store below.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics February 12 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

And now, onto Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases!

Marvel Comics February 12 2025 Collected Editions

The Amazing Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 6
(2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302962135 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963 – 2018). This pushes the classic Spider-Man omnibus line a few months into the 80s, featuring the first appearances of Black Cat!

Daredevil by Saladin Ahmed Vol. 3: Living Hell
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302954826 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. It seems to be the consensus of every single Daredevil fan I know that this by this point the Daredevil (2023) run from Saladin Ahmed hit the struggle bus.

This run has been limping along after a thrilling start promising a gauntlet of challenges against personifications of the Seven Deadly Sin. The issues in this collection feature brief, unsatisfying confrontations with Kingpin and Bullseye, replaying what feels like the same cycle of scenes of Matt Murdock being embattled, battered, and contrite.

I was so hype on this book to start, but I cannot help but agree that it has fallen off sharply and has now hit the “please put this run out of its misery” stage.

Daredevil Modern Era Epic Collection: King of Hell’s Kitchen
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302956424 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. This is a penultimate collection of Brian Bendis’s run on Daredevil (1998) which also collects David Mack’s second arc on the book. The Mack material had never before been collected comprehensively alongside Bendis prior to this Epic line!

Fantastic Four: Grand Design
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302961244 /  digital)
See Guide to Fantastic Four. A standard size paperback reprint of Tom Scioli’s two-issue speed-run recap of Fantastic Four continuity.

The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302964801 / digital)
See Guide to Punisher. This collects the original classic Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe (1995) OGN as well as Marvel Universe Vs. the Punisher (2010) #1-4, neither of which are in continuity.

Young Avengers Modern Era Epic Collection Vol. 1: Not What You Think
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302961916 / digital)
See Guide to Young Avengers. This is a collection we’ve seen several times over under other names, as it collects the entire original run of Young Avengers (2005) #1-12 & Special by Alan Heinberg & Jim Cheung.

These comics are just as fun to read today as they were 20 years ago, if not more because now you know how much future fun is in store for characters like Kate Bishop, Wiccan, and Hulkling! It still is a pretty snappy read that fits in well with the tone of Bendis’s run on Avengers.

Read on for a summary of all of the Marvel Comics February 12 2025 single issue releases!

Marvel Comics February 12 2025 Physical Comic Releases

All-New Venom (2024) #3 (digital) – See Guide to Venom. This Al Ewing Venom redux is meant to be a light-hearted mystery, and while it’s nailing the tone I think it’s dropping the ball on the big mystery of who is now wielding the symbiote.

Last issue, our all-new Venom had the dullest possible fight with comedy villains who wrongly believe a cheesesteak is a hoagie – and, I’m the exact, incredibly specific audience for that Philly-coded gag, so you know you’ve done something wrong when it bores me!

Meanwhile, Luke Cage, Joe Robertson, and Rick Jones play the dullest game of CLUE every as they argue over who may or may not be Venom in a way that betrays their collective intelligence as characters. I don’t particularly want any of them to be Venom because their deliberations have been so damned dull. Let’s shake things up! Throw in some more variables! Anything to make this more exciting.

Also, Ewing has Dylan Brock clowning on the much-loathed Paul in several pages worth of dull fan service.

It felt like a lot of wasted panel space for what could be a really fun and interesting story. I’m not sure any one of those scenes needed the amount of panels or dialog they got, and I didn’t even mention several pages of the villain chance monologuing before Venom showed up for some action.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #67 (digital) – See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (2018 -Present). Jed MacKay’s X-Men team enters the fray of this ongoing story arc of Spider-Man facing off against the many offspring of Cyttorak.

I was very hot on this story when it began back in issue #61 with Joe Kelly scripting, but as we’ve inserted more installments along the way written by Justina Ireland and .DEATH issues I’ve become worn out.

Issue #66 was literally an all moping issue, although that moping did have some interesting things to say about Peter’s character and how he responds to being pulled into a magical world with such high stakes. Still, it felt like filler to expand this arc, which is why Ireland is writing it rather than Kelly.

I think it’s still a terrific story concept and I love seeing Spidey in adventures that are out of his comfort zone. But, a very clever story concept is overstaying its welcome after being stuffed with so many extra issues.

Cable: Love and Chrome (2025) #2 (of 5) (digital) – See Guide to Cable. The first issue of this book made good use of Cable as a time-traveller by giving him a plot out of our present day.

Unfortunately, the plot could’ve have been more generic or boring. I think there’s a lot of value of breaking old-man Cable away from present day mutant squabbles, but I don’t know this is the right author to make that idea sing. We’ll see.

Deadpool (2024) #11 (digital) – See Guide to Deadpool. This kicks off an all-new arc – a direct crossover with Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022)!

It hits just when this title really feels like it’s humming along in the right direction. Deadpool & Daughter mercenary company (with special executive Taskmaster) is nothing but fun now that dear old dad is back to life. I’m hoping this story shared between the pair of Cody Ziglar titles just leans in further to everything that has made this book great the past few months.

If you want to pick this up, just grab last issue – it was a great re-orientation to the series and its current status quo.

Deadpool / Wolverine (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Deadpool or Guide to Wolverine Logan. I loved everything about the first issue from Ben Percy & Joshua Cassara except for the final page reveal. It brought back both a character and a concept that I have ZERO INTEREST in revisiting in a post-Krakoa era.

Leave it to Ben Percy to dredge up some dumb bullshit I have no interest in. I’m an established hater of him writing Wolverine, but I begrudgingly love him writing Deadpool.

I’ve seen some of the future covers of this series, and it looks like the character reveal from the end of #1 is here to stay – but, I’m hoping the concept that tagged along was just a brief Easter egg.

Deadpool Team-Up (2024) #5 (of 5) (digital) – See Guide to Deadpool. Look, y’all, let’s call this for what it is: a Rob Liefeld pin-up book where he (over)writes a semblance of script to pair with whatever he wants to draw.

The Rob wants to draw Crystar? Cool. The Rob wants to draw a classic Hulk that doesn’t match with his current version? Fine. The Rob wants to bring back his own creation, Major X, that literally no one is excited about other than Liefeld super-fans? Alrighty then.

Literally, last issue there was a double page spread of just three giant faces talking. And, in issue #2 there was a dragon who first was chubby with no neck and then the next page it had a long snakelike neck.

Eddie Brock: Carnage (2025) #1 (digital) – See Guide to Carnage. It’s no big surprise that Eddie Brock is no longer in the Venom symbiote suit after Venom War (2024), since he’s quick specifically not the star of Al Ewing’s All-New Venom (2024).

While I’m not incredibly excited to see him bonded with the Carnage symbiote, I do love the idea of that story being told by Charles Soule, Jesús Saíz, & Matt Hollingsworth. Soule is turning into a signature writer for villainous turns and Saíz’s art is always a knockout.

I still haven’t read the end of the painfully boring Venom War, so I’ll be starting from scratch on this one!

The Immortal Thor (2023) #20 (digital) – See Guide to Thor – Odinson. Al Ewing’s run on Asgardian’s favorite son has the epic scope of his beloved Immortal Hulk (2018) but not the same track record of sizzling single issues.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to connect all the dots here between the story of the previous incarnation of Asgard’s gods (“Utgard-Thor”), Loki’s strange transformations, Roxxon’s plot to co-opt Thor’s identity and narrative, and Asgardian goings-on that include introducing Thor’s son with Enchantress from an alternate future. Last issue being a jam comic with a different slice of story on every page didn’t necessarily help things.

Also, I don’t know if regularly artist Jan Bazaldua’s thick lines and plain, round faces can convey the amount of nuance  that Ewing’s plots demands. Don’t get me wrong, I like Bazaldua in general, but I’ve found myself searching some of these pages for extra meaning and coming up short.

I think the key to honing in on the center of Ewing’s plot is to ask what makes this book “Immortal.” As the “God of Thunder,” Thor is a symbol of the might of the storm. While our Thor may grow old or die, storms are eternal – and so the idea of Thor is immortal. Ewing is playing with several dimensions of that idea: prior Thors, fictional Thors, and future Thors.

It’s a vastly different “Immortal” take than what Ewing brought to Hulk, which about literal undeath and body horror. This is a much more cerebral take. This issue starts a new arc, so it could be a good entry point if you’re curious, but I think this is the kind of run you need to read (and re-read) from #1 to fully appreciate.

Magik (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Magik – Illyana Rasputin. Do we have a hit on our hands with this ongoing from newcomer Ashley Allen and veteran artist Germán Peralta and colorist Arthur Hesli?

I try not to get TOO HYPE based on a #1 issue, but this book’s debut did everything right. It not only made me happy, it seemed to garner nearly universal excitement from X-Fans online. That’s no easy feat, but Magik is a rare character that unites the entire community in adoration and issue #1 was incredibly well-constructed.

The concept? That Magik has a life between X-Men missions, but in this case she stumbles into a community saddled with a curse that’s claiming the lives of children – and that might sway her back towards the darkness of her Darkchilde identity.

I think we need to get to issue #4 before I’m willing to certify this as an unqualified hit, so I’m incredibly excited to see what Allen & Co. can achieve in this #2.

Pity about the J. Scott Campbell covers, though. I’m a JSC fan from way back on Gen 13 #1, which I own a copy of to this day! But I think his twiggy, big-eyed figures are the wrong approach for a powerhouse like Magik – even if they do sell covers. I think this week’s Ramon Villalobos variant is still a bit cheesecakey yet still superior.

Marvel Mutts (2025) #1 (digital) – This is a single issue collection of the digital Marvel Mutts Infinity Comic (2023) #1-12, all with art from Takeshi Miyazawa.

The art is charming throughout, but these 16-panel digital-first comics weren’t exactly packed with big story beats. They’re just a dozen out-of-continuity comfort comics of an adorable dog that Ms. Marvel adopts and then drops off at the Avengers Mansion.

(Why are they out of continuity? Because Kamala is a member of the Avengers in a lineup that doesn’t seem to correspond to anything we’ve recently seen, although now it’s more plausible with the introduction of Steve Orlando’s white-jackets team.)

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu (2024) #5 (digital) – See Guide to Moon Knight. Jed MacKay’s multi-year run on Moon Knight feels like it’s as hot as ever as it continues into 2025, which is a wild state of affairs!

Last issue wasn’t as heavy on plot as issue #3, but it was heavy on excellent characterization of Moon Knight and some incredible art and page layouts from Dev Pramanik. Pramanik really blew me away – enough to make me stop missing Alessandro Cappuccio, who I love on this title. And, of course, Rachelle Rosenberg continues to do the best work of her career on colors!

It feels like this book is paying off things MacKay has been seeding for years now without requiring you to be an expert in his entire run to follow along. You can appreciate Moon Knight having his proverbial back up against the wall here without knowing every beat of how he arrived.

This is easy to pick up from issue #1 – or, even better, the all pin-ups issue #0, which does a good job of recapping the story so far and the major players.

New Champions (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Champions. I’m always rooting for every comic to be good, but even I have to admit I’m ready for this Steve Foxe book to fade away quickly after an anonymous first issue about an anonymous team in an anonymous plot.

It says something that it took me until after reading issue #1 to realize some of these characters were introduced in Foxe’s recent run on Spider-Woman (2023). They’re all decently designed kid heroes with cookie-cutter personalities and home lives, but none of them particularly compel me to want to know more about them.

I’m on the record that I think Marvel needs more kid hero books, and I think the previous Champions primary trio of Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, and Sam Alexander as Nova are quickly aging out of that role as they get pushed closer to being collegiate characters.

I think the way to get there is to develop young characters across several different lines and then bring them together, but perhaps Marvel was high on the wild success of Skottie Young inventing a dozen legacy characters all at once in Strange Academy – ignoring that having the school environment as a wrapper was a massive draw for readers of all ages.

Steve Foxe is an experienced kids OGN writer, so with introductions out of the way (and Spider-Boy brought in as familiar anchor character) this one could find its identity. So, I’ll keep rooting for it, even if I don’t think it’s made the case it deserves my support quite yet.

One World Under Doom (2025) #1 (of 9) (digital) – See Marvel Universe Events – One World Under Doom. A Doctor Doom line-wide event by Ryan North and RB Silva? Let’s goooooooo!

What’s curious about this is that North hasn’t really done a ton with Doom in his run on Fantastic Four (2022). The big Doom developments leading to this event were the doing of Jed MacKay in the climax of his Blood Hunt (2024). In a way, that’s a throwback to Marvel’s events of 00s, where the resolution of each event leaned into the development of the next… particularly Civil War to Secret Invasion to Siege.

Honestly, it’s not such a bad model. It gives the feeling of the story of the Marvel 616 Universe having a primary spine and makes it easy for current and future readers to orient themselves. It allows you to pick up with any event and easily travel forward or backward from there.

I’ve never seen North flop at Marvel, but this is a considerably bigger stage than his typical out-of-the-way titles. Even his Fantastic Four has enjoyed the privilege of sticking with one- and two-shot plots with only a single true event tie-in in over two years. Along the way, he’s crafted one of the best F4 runs of all time.

Can North continue his high-quality streak with the eyes of all Marvel readers on him – and with his event wrapping up just as the team makes their debut in the MCU?

I sure hope so!

Psylocke (2024) #4 (digital) – See Guide to X-Men – From the Ashes. This book is rising in the ranks of my “From the Ashes” favorites, but that might just be a game of attrition as all of the other books flame out spectacularly.

This issue comes hot on the heels of the issue #3 two weeks ago. When smaller books double-ship like that it makes me nervous for their longevity, especially with Alyssa Wong – who just crashed two easy-to-maintain series out by issue #10 with terribly-paced stories (Deadpool and Captain Marvel).

However, I’m starting to feel a glimmer of excitement about this book, and a lot of that is down to the artwork from Vincenzo Carratù and colors by Fernando Sifuentes. Carratù’s artwork is reminiscent of a blend between cover artist Muhammed Asrar and the fantastic Pepe Larraz. That makes every panel of this book pop, and I think you have to have eye-catching artwork to make a Psylocke title work.

(This issue swaps in Moisés Hidalgo for Carratù, but never fear – he’s back next issue.)

As for the story… I dunno, something about child trafficking? I think the stronger aspect of this book is that it’s focusing on Kwannon’s relationships with Greycrow and Shinobi Shaw. This is a character who we ultimately haven’t spent a ton of time with, so leaning into her existing connections is the right move – especially for two characters who themselves are begging for more exposure.

Sam Wilson: Captain America (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Sam Wilson – Captain America & Falcon (and also Guide to Red Hulk). I was as hype as possible for issue #1 of this comic from Greg Pak and Evan Narcisse, but their #1 fell flat with me due to bait-and-switch cameos and sluggish pacing.

Essentially, the comic set up as a celebration of Isaiah Bradley with a ton of guest stars and then quickly pivoted to a plot that could quickly shoehorn in the most-recent Red Hulk. It was a lumpy transition and nothing about it felt especially specific to Sam Wilson and his voice as a character.

I think that’s the challenge in writing a Sam Wilson comic right now. He’s often a matter-of-fact player who has tended to lean a little too serious while trying to live up to wearing the stars-and-stripes of Cap, and that bristles against the more sarcastic take from Anthony Mackie in the MCU.

That doesn’t mean you can’t write a good solo comic with Wilson in the lead. I really dug his Falcon (2017) series, but I was less excited by a lumpy take on Captain America: Symbol of Truth (2022).

If there’s anyone who can find both a character voice and some excitement it’s certainly Pak & Narcisse. Narcisse in particular is a journalism turned comic writer whose writing never fails to excite me, so I’m hoping there’s more to this series than we saw in the #1 issue last month.

Spider-Boy (2023) #16 (digital) – See Guide to Spider-Men – Peter Parker (2018 – Present). I find this book more and more charming each month as it continues to keep up an all-ages tone with some specific 616 adventures.

Maybe Dan Slott’s tendency towards reducing his characters to caricatures works best in a book with a more youthful tone!

This issue wraps an ongoing arc of Spider-Boy & Daredevil vs. Bullseye &… Spider-Girl? Spider-Girl’s origins have been handled in subplot pages by Humbert Ramos & Edgar Delgado, and what initially made me slightly wince is now really working for me. I love this tournament of definitely-not-death that Spider-Boy has been pulled into.

I also love how Slott parallels the rules and restrictions of the tournament to the capricious social structure of the middle-school social structure of all of the sidekicks that are participating.

This arc began in issue #12 (well, kinda in issue #11), so it’s easy to pick up from there.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024) #10 (digital) – See Guide to Spider-Gwen – Ghost Spider. I was enjoying this Spider-Gwen series just fine, but after a messy issue with low Gwen content last month it’s on slightly shakier ground with me. It didn’t feel like Paolo Villanelli & Matt Milla quite knew what to do with a confusing chase sequence in Stephanie Phillips’s script.

Add to that that Gwen is being written charmingly in TVA (2024) and I’m less high on this series than I was the last time I wrote about it. And, even less excited because this issue ditches the interesting Villanelli for his fill-in artist, Von Randal (who last drew issue #7).

I still think it’s fundamentally interesting to have Gwen have to deal with NYC super-villainy while trying to fly under the radar of most of the 616 powers that be. If we ever stop treating her as an outsider then I think we’ll have completely lost her charm.

While any comic can be your first, I think if you want to enjoy this run you should either start with issue #1 or simply wait for a new arc to begin next issue.

X-Men (2024) #11 (digital) – See Guide to X-Men – From the Ashes. I wasn’t just cool on this series to start, I was full-on chilly. I’m not a big fan of Ryan Stegman’s art, and this felt like a retread of Bendis’s Uncanny X-Men (2013) with a big helping of “let’s shit on Krakoa.”

Has anything really changed over the past five issues? Well… I do like Netho Diaz a lot more on pencils than Ryan Stegman!

Mostly, I think the change has been a few instances of MacKay writing Cyclops extraordinarily well. He was voiced incredibly in issue #10 as he talked about all of the things he has already lost as a mutant, and as a person. Hear me dig into that in my Crushing Comics Live review of the issue – in which I forgot to mention the delight of seeing that Cyclops had a backup “Hellions” team ready to roll out at his command.

Does a good Cyclops make this a good book? I don’t think so, but at least it’s something. The plots here continue to be really lacking. Orchis is back. Whatever is going on at the former school Graymalkin. The absolutely moronically terrible Post-Regeneration syndrome, punishing all of our characters for the best thing about Krakoa.

This issue promises some manner of space nonsense making its way to Earth. That was one big plot beat that was missing from Krakoa. We had Arrako on Mars and Mysterium, but surprisingly little interaction with the rest of the galaxy outside of Marauders (2022). I wouldn’t say this team is especially a space-faring squad, so it will be interesting to see how they meet that challenge.

That’s for Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases! What were you already pulling? And, did I convince you to check out anything new? Sound off in the comments below.
