Next week is the 12th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 12 2025 new releases.
This week in Marvel Comics: a surprising hunk of Web of Spider-Man, Deadpool vs. Miles concludes, classic Ultimate F4 in omnibus, Ultimate X-Men year Two, penultimate X-Force, bloody questions for Carnage, New Champions gets even more toyetic, Ryan North’s rule of Doom continues, and more!
The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s an easy pick this week – One World Under Doom (2025) #2! The first issue of this event from Ryan North, RB Silva, & David Curiel had me reading and re-reading it as much for the big action as for the witty jokes. Now that Doom is in control, what comes next? I can’t wait to find out from a book that is already ensconced deep in my Top 10 of 2025 with just one issue.
This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics March 19 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 March 19 2025 new releases!
Marvel Comics March 19 2025 Collected Editions
Daredevil: Woman Without Fear – Bloody Reunion
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302959180 / digital)
See Guide to Elektra. This is one in a string of Elektra limited series by Erica Schultz. She has a good voice for Elektra, and it’s nice to see Marvel fighting to keep a female character running through multiple relaunches in an echo of their strategy on Scarlet Witch.
Doom Treasury Edition
(2025 oversize paperback, ISBN 978-1302962999 / digital)
While I did enjoy this one-off, non-continuity Doctor Doom story from Sanford Greene with a script assist from Jonathan Hickman, this oversize collection is a weird one.
It collects two random, not-especially-acclaimed additional recent issues of Doom’s shenanigans alongside Doom (2024) #1 (though, one of them is by Hickman). It feels like it should have included some of his classics – perhaps his origin, some other Lee/Kirby story, or the birth of Valeria Richards?
Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game: Spider-Verse Expansion
(2025 hardcover, ISBN 978-1302948573 / digital)
Not a comic, but still out from Marvel this week is this expansion of their table-top RPG.
Truth be told, I’m not entirely convinced anyone is actually playing this game – I think they might just be accumulating the books. I know I am! I’ve been through the rules and I found them a bit fiddly for organically playing and leveling up a heroic character – whether that’s your own or an existing Marvel hero.
Phoenix Vol. 1: Orbital Resonance
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302960179 / digital)
See Guide to X-Men – From the Ashes (2024 – Present). This first collection of Stephanie Phillips’ Jean Grey ongoing starts wobbly but gets stronger as it progresses. Unfortunately, that’s a brief peak – it descends back into wobbles shortly after the start of the next collection.
While it’s fun to finally see Jean on her own the wider galaxy in a way that Claremont enabled over 40 years ago, this series is a complete waste of the concept and of her character – which it seems terrified to spend any prolonged time with.
Ultimate Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 1
(2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302963668 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Universe. This omnibus plays it pretty standard with re-collecting Ultimate Fantastic Four, tackling exactly the equivalent of the first three oversized hardcover volumes released almost 20 years ago. Things could get a bit more exciting in a second volume, which could depart from the OHC-only approach to also pull in elements of the Ultimate Galactus trilogy.
Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 2: The Paper
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302958282 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Universe. I wouldn’t really call this a second “arc” of Hickman’s industry-dominating Ultimate Spider-Man (2024), because each issue is self-contained and tells a complete story. In this second half of Year One, the story pivots further from Peter Parker’s individual relationship to his newfound powers to focus more on how it is affecting his family and his other relationships, including with his first costumed ally. It’s crackling stuff – some of Hickman’s most immediate and accessible work in his entire bibliography.
Ultimate Spider-Man Epic Collection Vol. 1: Learning Curve
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302963002 / digital)
See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Universe. This collects Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) #1-13 for the third time, mirroring the contents of the prior deluxe edition hardcover and “Ultimate Collection” paperback.
Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime Gallery Edition
(2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302963460 / digital)
Since I have nothing interesting to say about Duck comics, I’ll refer you to Near Mint Condition’s brand new overview of the Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime Gallery Edition!
Web of Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 1
(2025 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302963866 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963 – 2018). Marvel doesn’t release a lot of omnibus volumes that straight up shock me, but this is one of them.
Sure, we’ve had other omnibuses that are more out-of-the-blue than a Spider-Man omnibus. Really, the surprise on this one is all about timing.
With Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel amassed several years worth of Marvel Masterworks before releasing an omnibus. We had no reason to think this Web of Spider-Man would go any differently, especially with the Masterworks line charging forward into the 80s with the launch of lines like Avengers West Coast.
Yet, here we are with a third classic Spider-Man omnibus line – and a line that is collecting some issues in color for the first time.
I have a lot of reverence for this material, because mid-80s issues of Web were some of the first comics I ever bought off of a spinner rack. All of the Spider-titles were relatively strong in this period, but I think this initial three years of Web especially makes for a great read. This runs alongside Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #266-295, just prior to the introduction of Venom.
X-Men: Fatal Attractions Omnibus
(2025 “Omnibus” oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302963507 / digital)
See Guide to Uncanny X-Men – The Crossover Era (1991-2001) or Guide to X-Men Vol. 2 (1991 – 2001). If that last omnibus wins a superlative title for “most shocking,” this wins one for “most controversial.”
That’s because this book upgrades an old oversize hardcover with an “omnibus” title… and that’s the only change to the book, unless you count alternate direct market variant covers. And, it does that on the heels of an announcement of kicking off a new X-Men: Blue & Gold omnibus line that will quite obviously replace this book with something that is mapped better.
I don’t have the space to explain that all here, given that Omar and I did a multi-hour stream about it last month! I think it boils down to the fact that this is an “event hardcover” that fans have grown accustomed to thinking of as an essential part of their bookshelf over the past decade, but it has always been a weird book for collecting a run of issues from Uncanny X-Men (1963) while completely ignoring surrounding issues of X-Men (1991).
Bottom line: Don’t buy this book unless you (a) specifically have a hole in your existing X-Men events shelf or (b) just want this story in specific. Otherwise, you’d better off just starting with the new Blue & Gold omnibus later this year, since the second volume of that will make this obsolete.
Read on for a summary of all of the Marvel Comics March 19 2025 single issue releases!
Marvel Comics March 19 2025 Physical Comic Releases
The Avengers (2023) #24 (digital) – See Guide to Avengers (2010 – Present). This is a third and final issue in a wonderful mini-arc of Black Cat teaming up with Kang as drawn by Farid Karami that has effortless been the best book at Marvel comics in 2025 so far.
I’d put Karami in a similar style category to Fernando Pasarin on Green Lantern Corps. Both are illustrators who lean heavily into consistent, realistic facial likenesses, detailed anatomy, and environments that feel like they have real heft – all supported by judicious use of heavy blacks in their art.
That is high amongst my list of favorite art styles on comics. And, while Pasarin makes it work in giving individuality to a cast of supporting Corps characters, Karami uses to it make each well-known Avenger iconic in their own right.
And, of course, Jed MacKay is having a blast writing his beloved Black Cat once again. Plus, bringing Kang into what seems like a frivolous arc gives the story more weight and significance, since Kang is the character who kicked off this entire run of Avengers in the first place.
Cable: Love and Chrome (2025) #3 (of 5) (digital) – See Guide to Cable. Sometimes a comic just has the wrong creative team and there’s not a lot more we can say about it. David Pepose doesn’t seem to have much interesting to say about Cable as a character other than “gritty old guy is gritty” and a future laden with technology is an awful fit for Mike Henderson’s style of art.
I’m purely reading this to keep my Guide to Cable updated. Since you don’t have a Cable guide to maintain, I’d urge you to skip it.
Daredevil: Unleash Hell (2025) #3 [Red Band] – See Guide to Elektra. Elektra continues her adventures as Daredevil in this physical-only red band comic from Erica Schultz.
Deadpool / Wolverine (2025) #3 (digital) – See Guide to Deadpool or Guide to Wolverine – Logan. I was excited by an action-packed first issue of this book and then loathed the second issue in equal measure.
This comic continues to be a wild contrast between the completely wrong way Ben Percy has always written Logan (and all plots involving Logan) and the deliciously demented way he writes Deadpool.
Although, if this bad writing on Logan has been the primary writing on Logan for six years now maybe that’s just how Logan is written, despite all of the raging against it Tyler and I did back on This Week in X. I suppose there’s now an entire generation of comic fans who only know Percy’s completely incorrect take on Logan’s tone and motivations and I need to just accept it and move on.
Even if I did move on, there’s just nothing to recommend this comic right now. Joshua Cassara’s artwork, usually a rare delight, is becoming so smooth and glossy we’ve almost completely lost the unique qualities that made him so remarkable in the first place.
In the end, this feels like a cross-media cash-in heavy on badly-interpreted 90s nostalgia that is arriving almost a year too late to draft off the hype of the Deadpool & Wolverine film.
Eddie Brock: Carnage (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Carnage. I really dug the first issue of this Charles Soule & Jesus Saiz jam, mashing up Eddie Brock with the Carnage symbiote.
It was all built around a single, tense scene – Eddie Brock on a plane, hunting a serial killer but also trying to keep Carnage contained in a pressure cooker environment where he could easily kill hundreds of people. Soule kept the symbiote’s barely contained blood thirst simmering throughout the issue, allowing Saiz to escalate things with a run of outstanding pages at the end.
That left us with not only an engaging mystery (what happened to everyone on the plane?!), but also an ongoing question of how long Brock can keep Carnage’s urges at bay (or if he has already failed).
That’s a recipe for an incredibly engaging comic and I’m eager for a second issue.
Exceptional X-Men (2024) #7 (digital) – See Guide to X-Men – From the Ashes (2024 – Present). This title has ever element it could possibly need for me to root for it, from lead characters to creative team. And yet…
I think the X-Men line does have room for a slice-of-life style book. The problem is Exceptional keeps hinting at being something a bit more than that… but all we have are hints. With one pseudo-arc behind us (pseudo because… there was no story) it feels like exactly nothing has been accomplished in a comic that moves at the speed of molasses.
I appreciated the amount of compression in issue #6 to tell a mostly one-and-done story, but also I do not give one single fuck about this “mutant tracker app” plot. It’s been done before, multiple times over across multiple titles. I like all three of these new mutants much more than the personality-free crew in Uncanny, but maybe at Uncanny’s double-shipped pace it would feel like we’ve gotten somewhere in six months.
Meanwhile, it feels like this monthly pace has led to a slight regression from Carmen Carnero on art. I love her for the slight suggestion of Gene Colan in her linework and shading, but for the past two issues it’s felt more anonymous. If we’re sticking with a single-ship schedule for her benefit, it’s not working.
Magik (2025) #3 (digital) – See Guide to Magik – Illyana Rasputin. I was unbelievably hot on the first issue of Ashley Allen’s ongoing debut on Magik, one of the most widely-beloved X-Men with fans, and just slightly cooler on the second one.
Seriously, are there people who don’t like Magik? She has had the best past 15 years of almost any ensemble character in comics.
Even if issue #2 didn’t excite me quite as much as the first, I appreciated it because it was another one-shot story that gave us some room for Illyana’s personality alongside her battlefield prowess. For me, it felt like a lot of setup to maneuver her into a conflict at a rock club, but if you’ve got that much room for setup and still manage to resolve a story in just one issue then more power to you!
Right now this is clicking much more than any of the other solo X-Men books save for Storm, and I’m seeing a lot of fan excitement about it. I’m very curious to see where else Allen plans to take this Darkchilde plot, especially with it being drawn by Germán Peralta with incredible colors from Arthur Hesli.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2022) #31 (digital) – See Guide to Spider-Man – Miles Morales. This brings a brief crossover with Deadpool to a close, and so far every issue has increased in delight from the last.
What I’ve loved most about this mashup of Cody Ziglar’s two ongoing titles is that it feels wholly of a piece of both of their tones and ongoing plots.
From Deadpool’s perspective, it’s all about him finding the rhythm of his teamwork with Ellie and abou tboth of them struggling to figure out how to make their current mercenary agency work.
From Miles’s perspective, it’s about him finally getting back to normal after Gang War, Blood Hunt, and a trip to Wakanda, only to find out there really is no normal – not only due to his notoriety but also because of Agent Gao sicking a series of super-powered stalkers on him.
If one thing makes me nervous, it’s that Ziglar has now spent over a year on the idea of “having no status quo is the status quo” driving this title. This is rolling onward to some kind of Anansi-fueled battle with gods and with Ziglar co-writing Miles in an Ultimate Universe crossover with Deniz Camp. I just fear completely losing sense of Miles as Spider-Man as he is tugged into events and crossovers and team-ups with no end in sight.
If that’s what keeps his book alive and selling, and if Ziglar continues to voice him this well the whole time, so be it.
New Champions (2025) #3 (digital) – See Guide to Champions. This is a toyetic comic in search of toys.
What do I mean by that? Steve Foxe seems to have been given carte blanche to make up as many new legacy-style sidekick characters as his little heart desires, which Marvel will merrily pillage for other series and cross-media promotion in Marvel Snap and Marvel Rivals.
You know what? Good. That’s how we build a rapid fanbase for new characters. Look at the collective freakout over Jeff the Shark from Marvel Rivals. Jeff was already beloved by Marvel fans, but the sheer volume of fervor for his character increased by an order of magnitude and now we’re getting an actual print mini-series for him!
That’s all great for expanding Marvel’s cast of young characters, but is there anything compelling about this book beyond the future cross-marketing opportunities is might spawn? I think the jury is still out on that.
One issue after amassing all of Marvel’s newest kid heroes (including a few more of Foxe’s own invention) this issue promises a gathering with the prior Champions, who are now elderly in “hot new character” years having mostly debuted as heroes from 2012-2014.
One World Under Doom (2025) #2 (digital) – See Guide to Marvel Universe Events – One World Under Doom. I was absolutely obsessed with the first issue of this Ryan North, RB Silva, & David Curiel event series.
North perfected the balance of Doom being both deadly and slightly comedic in his narcissistic preening. It really felt like the Avengers and Fantastic Four were helpless to stop Doom not because of some magical macguffin, but because Doom outsmarted them on every level,
Oh, also, Doom slaughtered Nazis with obvious glee, which is perfectly in keeping with his character.
I love that this event is clearly not going to be nine issues of battles. It’s going to be about the dynamics of Doom’s leadership, which will eventually crumble due to the inherent flaws of his self-obsessed philosophy. That makes him visiting Valeria Richards in this second issue even more intriguing, as Valeria is often both Doom’s weak spot and the one voice of reason that can break through his indomitable will.
Psylocke (2024) #5 (digital) – See Guide to X-Men – From the Ashes (2024 – Present). I’ve been tough on this book for feeling like it is cycling through a stack of stock plots like “black market cage match” and “museum of oddities” that have little to do with Kwannon as a character.
I do think that Alyssa Wong has used them in the service of exploring Kwannon’s inner voice, which has been one of the standout qualities of this title. Plus, I always love when an author makes up an intriguing new nemesis, which the Taxonomist may turn out to be.
It looks like stunning interiors artist Vincenzo Carratù is back for half of this issue, but the other half is handled by Moisés Hidalgo who had some challenges drawing the last issue. Carratù strikes me as a potential superstar who nails the Marvel house style, which has evolved from Stuart Immonen clones to Pepe Larraz imitators. I’m excited to see his name in the solicitations for issues #6-7, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets swiped for another title before the second arc of this one is over.
Altogether, this book is bringing a mild amount of heat, which actually makes it one of the best of all of the X-books! I’m hoping things continue to click, because it would be cool to see a Psylocke solo book (and an Alyssa Wong book) make it past the 10 issue mark.
Sam Wilson: Captain America (2025) #3 (of 5) (digital) – See Guide to Sam Wilson – Captain America & Falcon. This book has such an outstanding creative team on it, but two issues in a five issue run it feels like this high-flying captain America is experiencing a failure to launch.
I’m tempted to pin that on Eder Messias’s art, which last issue had some insurmountable problems with conveying space and geography in an issue that was low on action and high on convert movement around this dystopian floating farm city.
However, I think there are script problems too from Greg Pak & Evan Narcisse. We’ve now had two issues in a row where a big guest appearance seemed like it was meant to anchor things but just fizzled. Is it that this book was meant purely as a showcase for a number of semi-forgotten black Marvel heroes, and the plot is a mere afterthought to act as scaffolding around their appearances?
Maybe that’s the case, but I’d argue that it sets them up to be forgotten all over again.
TVA (2024) #4 (of 5) (digital) – See Guide to Spider-Gwen – Ghost Spider. I’ve really fallen for the engaging cross-reality mystery of this mini-series, less because of the mystery and more because Katharyn Blair writes each character with such a distinct voice.
That’s intriguing to me, because many screenwriters can turn in very flat dialog when they make their jump to comics because they don’t have any actor to deliver it and directors to tell them how to punch it up. However, Blair seems to have an unerring sense of what makes each member of her cast unique and it feels like every panel leans into that.
Every panel also leans into looking totally spectacular thanks to the art of Pere Pérez as colored by Guru-eFX, in what I am increasingly certain is Pérez’s bust run on art of all time. There’s something so dimensional and dynamic about his characters here, and I love all of his creative page layouts.
This book continues to be a proof of concept for me that I’ll read a comic with trope I seriously dislike (multiverse shenanigans) if the craft is incredibly strong.
Ultimate Black Panther (2024) #14 (digital) – See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Universe. If you missed last month’s episode of The Pull List where I covered this comic, it sent me into a fit of absolute rage. Over half the comic was just talking heads saying absolute nothing, but Bryan Hill threw in a little burst of irrelevant action at the end to keep the fans sated.
Well, I’m still parched in search of good writing! This one’s a drop for me, and it is hard to get me to drop a Marvel comic! You have to really fail on every possible level of storytelling in a way that makes me seethe with rage until I feel like reading is bad for my blood pressure.
I’ll catch up with it eventually on Marvel Unlimited, but I don’t think the quality of this rises above “fun binge with cool art (of people just standing around talking).”
Ultimate X-Men (2024) #13 (digital) – See Guide to Marvel Ultimate Universe as Year Two of Peach Momoko’s Ultimate X-Men begins.
Werewolf by Night (2024) #8 [red band] – See Guide to Werewolf by Night. Issue #10 has just been announced as the finale of this Red Band series with spectacular covers, but the solicit teases that this won’t be the end of Jack Russell’s adventures.
As frustrated as I am by not being able to buy and read this book in digital format, I respect Marvel establishing a new beachhead for its horror line by leaning into the gore of it all. I really think a Ghost Rider book would be a blockbuster in this polybagged format, but I fear we’re just going to get a gory Spider-Man comic for no reason whatsoever.
X-Force (2024) #9 (digital) – See Guide to X-Force. X-Manhunt rolls into X-Force for its penultimate issue (both of X-Manhunt and of X-Force)
It’s too late to save it X-Force from cancellation, but perhaps just in time to get in the way of it crafting a satisfying resolution unless Geoffrey Thorne pulls together some major plotting kung fu with this Xavier appearance.
It really feels like this comic has gone so far of the rails that it has forgotten it even started as a train. Remember when this was about Forge fixing fractures in the world with a mutant team especially primed to make the repairs? I know that wasn’t a very X-Force-y topic, but at least it was a good explanation for this team’s existence.
Now we’re deep into some nonsense about La Diabla manipulating the team. I am all for debuting new villains, but it really feels like this book has been grasping at straws for a several issues in a row now.
Who knows – maybe the cancellation notice got handed down early so Thorne pivoted from his original plotline. Or, maybe this book was always going to be this meandering. Really, the sweet moments between Betsy Braddock and Rachel Summers have been the only satisfying parts of this run, and now that their relation has run through several low-selling books it might be reaching its end.
That’s for Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases! What were you already pulling? And, did I convince you to check out anything new? Sound off in the comments below.
