May 1, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 19th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics May 7 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 30 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: a Fantastic anthology, all-new revelations for Venom, an Annihilation reprint, the disoriented Spider-Man, Psylocke & The X-Women, digital Jeff in print, the best Deadpool Epic, Sam Wilson ends, a new Star Wars, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is an easy pick – Alan Davis writing or drawing anything is an instant appointment for me, so him being the launch creator for the new anthology series Fantastic Four Fanfare (2025) #1 means it’s immediately my pick of the week! However, I’m also interested to see how things develop in All-New Venom (2024) #6.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics May 7 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.

Next week is the 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Camp’s Absolute Martian Manhunter debuts, Gunn’s Peacemaker, Taylor & Co’s final Nightwing collected, Diana’s Sovereign face-off concludes, Lex breaks bad, Golden Batman & Promethea reprints, Justice League tries to extinguish Inferno, a foul Harley Quinn one-shot, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There’s only one answer for me – the reunion of one of my favorite creative teams of the past decade of comics, Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis on Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #6! To be fair, I’m also pretty damn excited about the continuing story in Green Arrow (2023) #22, but I absolutely lose my mind over any art from Mattia De Iulis, so seeing him credited on a Wonder Woman book is a dream come true for me!!!

Next week is the 4th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics January 22 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics January 15 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Grell’s Finest Green Arrow, Round 4 of Absolute Diana vs. Death Kaiju, Batman’s eternal youth, Flash family fun, Harley Quinn’s destructive agency, Ewing yucks it up on Metamorpho, Unlimited Justice League members, Doomsday for Superwoman, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Once again, DC is presenting me with a nearly impossible choice! Catwoman, Detective, Harley Quinn, Justice League, and Superman have all been superlative comics in the past few months. However, I think the cliffhanger in the last issue of makes me most eager to read Green Arrow (2023) #20!

DC Comics January 22 2025 Collected Editions

DC Finest: Green Arrow – The Longbow Hunters TP
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1779529916)
See Guide to Green Arrow. Ollie enters the DC Finest line with what is truly his finest story, Mike Grell’s “The Longbow Hunters” mini-series and then the start of Grell’s length run on Arrow’s ongoing series. This is one of my favorite DC comics runs of all time and I think the writing, the pacing, and the artwork absolutely hold up in the modern day.

Highly recommended if you want to see where the myth of the modern version of Green Arrow began! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – January 22 2025

Next week is the 3rd new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics January 15 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics January 8 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Blade Epics hit the 90s, the Road to Onslaught re-collected, Aliens in Paradise, the Deadly Phil Coulson, an Asgardian jam, Rogue in the Savage Land, Storm vs. Doom, Ultimate Wolverine debuts, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Storm (2024) #4! With more issues, I think this series could have easily been my favorite comic of 2024. Murewa Ayodele is walking a tightrope of plot that could result in a major fall, but it feels like his balance just gets better with every issue. Having Lucas Werneck along for art helps! See below for more thoughts on this excellent solo run.

Marvel Comics January 15 2025 Collected Editions

Blade Epic Collection Vol. 2: Nightstalkers
(2025 paperback, ISBN 978-1302956547 / digital)
See Guide to Blade. The Blade Epic Collection line starts with a bang by picking him up in the 90s, recollecting Tomb of Dracula (1991) #1-4 and pressing onward to Nightstalkers (1992) #1-6. Issues #2-5 are collected here in color for the first time!

That also hints that a first Epic Collection will wind up being a slimmed down version of the Blade: The Early Years omnibus that ends on Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #64, which makes sense since it collects a heck of a lot of Tomb of Dracula (1972).

Marvel Masterworks: Ka-Zar Vol. 4
(2025 hardcover, ISBN 978-1302955601 / digital)
Damnit, I really need a Ka-Zar guide! Marvel presses on with an unexpected fourth volume of this Masterworks line that collects Ka-Zar (1974) #10-20, [Uncanny] X-Men (1963) #115-116; and material from Rampaging Hulk (1977) #9 and Marvel Fanfare (1982) #56-59.

I was truly puzzled that this is leap-frogging Ka-Zar’s entire 1981 series to pick up the later Shanna The She-Devil story from the end of Marvel Fanfare until I realized that story is told in flashback and fits here – not only in continuity, but in when Steve Gerber originally wrote the script!

That makes this an incredibly rare Masterwork that skips ahead for later material, alongside Ms. Marvel Vol. 2 (which picks up Chris Claremont’s unfinished Ms. Marvel (1977) issues that were burned off as anthology stories over a decade later).
