New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 16 2025

April 10, 2025 by krisis 1 Comment

Star Wars: Legacy of Vader (2025) #3, a Marvel Comics April 16 2025 new releaseNext week is the 16th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 16 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 9 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Tony Stark’s anti-Doom insurgency, Elektra & Ghost Rider vs. Muse, Epic Modern Widow, Godzilla vs. 70s Hulk, Aaron Wolverine reprinted, Spider-Men battle paired foes, some mysterious Superior Avengers, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Marvel’s line is in a rough spot without many exciting comic series at the moment, so my pick of the week has to default to a Star Wars book for a second week in a row. Congratulations, Star Wars: Legacy of Vader (2025) #3, your my pick because Marvel’s superhero editorial strategy at the moment is a dumpster fire! Although, in truth, I do find this series pretty fun – as is the case anytime Charles Soule deep dives into a villain.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 16 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 April 16 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 16 2025

Star Wars: Jedi Knights (2025) #2, a Marvel Comics April 9 2025 new releaseNext week is the 15th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 9 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 2 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Epic ROM, Ultimate Loki, the end of Forever for Aaron’s Avengers, pre-Prequel Jedi Knights, Wolverine & Revolution wrap their road trip, Strange in Asgard, Gwen in Space, a pair of bad From the Ashes trades, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: As much as I am intrigued about where we left off in Doctor Strange of Asgard (2025) last month, this pick is absolutely Star Wars: Jedi Knights (2025) #2! Marc Guggenheim blew me away with what might’ve been my favorite Star Wars comic issue of all time. Was that a fluke? Can he possible do it again next week?! I can’t wait to find out.

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – March 26 2025

March 21, 2025 by krisis Leave a Comment

Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #6, a DC Comics March 26 2025 new releaseNext 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!!!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – June 5 2024

June 1, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 23rd new comic book day of the new year! This post covers DC Comics June 5 2024 releases, which actually hit comic stores on Tuesday June 4 2024. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics May 29 2024 new releases.

(DC is still releasing their comics on Tuesday until the start of July, but I think most folks think of Wednesday as release day, so that’s how I’m labelling my posts until then.)

This week in DC Comics: DC debuts Compact Comics for Batman & Watchmen, Dawn of DC collections for Hal Jordan & Shazam, climaxes for Zdarsky Batman & GWW Ivy, a My Adventures with Superman cartoon comic and more!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from DC this week, plus collected editions including omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. I recap and review every new single issue. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

DC Comics June 5 2024 Collected EditionsBatman: The Court of Owls Saga - DC Compact Comics Edition, a DC Comics June 5 2024 new release

Barda
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1779511133 / digital)
A new out-of-continuity Big Barda graphic novel exploring her origins and relationship to Scott Free from author/illustrator. Ngozi Ukazu.

Batman: The Court of Owls Saga – DC Compact Comics Edition
(2024 smaller-than-digest-size paperback, ISBN 978-1779527271 / digital)
See Guide to Batman. DC’s new Compact Comics are upon us! These are chunky paperbacks that collect 10+ issues of massive hit runs for just $10 in a format that is slightly smaller than “digest” size. It’s a bane for old eyeballs like mine, but a perfect format for newer fans and manga readers! This book collects the first 11 issues of Scott Snyder’s New 52 Batman run, possibly the single best Batman book to hand to someone curious about the character’s in-continuity adventures.

Green Lantern Vol. 1: Back In Action
See Guide to Green Lantern – Hal Jordan. I disliked this opening Hal Jordan arc from Jeremy Adams, Xermánico, Romulo Fajardo Jr., & Dave Sharpe, but not for any deficiency in their craftsmanship. I didn’t like it because it gets Hal Jordan so right, and Hal is my least favorite main character in all of Big Two comics! In fact, you could almost say I loved to hate it, because the level of craft was pretty damned great on every issue.

Adams leans in to writing a Hal Jordan as a man without a ring and with no redeeming qualities other than his willpower. Quarantined to Earth and with no powers or influence left to his name, Hal leans heavily into his privilege to get exactly what he wants – from demanding a job flying test planes to forcing himself into moments alone with Carol Ferris.

Along the way, we really do see how Hal’s willpower makes him one of the most formidable Lanterns. There are moments of this where I feel like we’re on the knife’s edge between Hal Jordan being a “nice guy” who always gets what he wants versus him turning into a full on villain and sexual predator.

For me, that clearly echos his previous downfall as Parallax, which in a way brings this around from being hate-worth back to being intriguing. Is Adams playing these beats deliberately to try to show us how Hal’s willfulness brings him right to the edge of villainy? Or, is Adams writing Hal totally straight, thinking we would all root for him to get everything he wants?

Either way, I think if you are fascinated by Hal Jordan and want to see him tackling a new set of challenges, this book could work for you. And, beneath that, there is a tickle of mystery about why Hal is ringless on Earth and what the Green Lantern Corps are like under new management. Despite my hatred, I’m still reading every month!

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – May 29 2024

May 23, 2024 by krisis

It’s the 22nd new comic book day of the new year! This post covers Marvel Comics May 29 2024 releases. Missed last week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics May 22 2024 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: a killer Black Panther creative team, a Pride-filled X-Men wedding, an Epic Spider-Man gap filled, penultimate Krakoa, Night Thrasher fights depression, Spider-Boy vs. his maker, and more!

This list includes every comic and digital comic out from Marvel this week, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. I recap and review every new single issue. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to the right guide within my Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics to find out how to collect each character in full – and, if a guide is linked from this post, that means it is updated through the present day!

Marvel Comics May 29 2024 Collected EditionsAmazing Spider-Man Epic Collection Volume 10: Big Apple Battleground, a Marvel Comics May 29 2024 new release

The Amazing Spider-Man Epic Collection Volume 10: Big Apple Battleground
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302955267 / digital)
See Guide to Spider-Man – Peter Parker (1963-2018). This presses forward with the continuous run of Epic coverage from Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #1 through issue #185.

The Amazing Spider-Man Epic line has just five more volumes left to fill its remaining gaps – four directly following this one and the long-awaited Volume 16. However, this year we saw two Clone Sage era Epics to extend the line deeper into the 90s alongside three reprints of existing Epics with just this one gap-filling Epic, so it could be as many as five more years until we get total coverage from this line.

Yes, that’s slow-going. But, the fact that Marvel has already reprinted 13 of the 23 epics in this line is a great sign of their dedication to the ongoing health of the line.

The Avengers Epic Collection Volume 1: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302957988 / digital)
See Guide to Avengers (1963 – 1996). Go back to the start of Marvel’s iconic team with their original “Avengers Assemble” against Loki followed by them unthawing Captain American from his deep freeze and continuing through the debut of “Cap’s Kooky Quartet” when the book shockingly swapped to Cap being backed by an all-villains roster of Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, & Quicksilver! Imagine the fan rage if that happened today!

Hulk: Grand Design
(2024 paperback, ISBN 978-1302958145 /  digital)
See Guide to Hulk – Bruce Banner. This roughly recaps all of the Hulk’s history from his first appearance through the Immortal era, as retold by Jim Rugg. [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – May 29 2024
