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! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – March 19 2025

Next week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Violator ends and his beginning is collected(!), Camp’s very normal Crisis Events, Transformers teases an epic rivalry, an apocalyptic meal of Chew and East of West compendiums, Rogue Sun back for a new arc, things get nightmarish in Moon Is Following Us, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: In a major upset, I think I’m genuinely more excited to see how Marc Andreyko wraps up Violator: Origin (2024) #6 than I am for Deniz Camp’s Assorted Crisis Events (2025) #1 now that I know that will be an anthology series. Violator was also an anthology of single one-shot stories, but all of them with Violator and filling out the deep lore of the Spawn Universe. Plus, this week Alan Moore’s Violator is finally collected!!!

Pick of the Pull

Big Two (Marvel/DC) Issue of the Week:
Mighty Thor (2016) #704

A bloody, thrilling, heart-rending comic. Aaron has somehow amped up the drama in each of the last three issues as we hasten towards a potential Ragnarok at the hands of the Mangog and Jane Foster’s death at her own hands if she takes up the mantle of Thor just one more time.

Yet, beyond those looming disasters there is still Makelith’s war on the Ten Realms. Mangog is just one facet of that. Even in the dimness and tragedy, Aaron finds shining moments – Jane with her friend in the cancer ward, a father and son joined in battle, and a mother casting aside a snake that has wounded her before.

All the while, Dauterman and Wilson are turning in a quality of artwork never seen before at Marvel comics – truly, one of the pinnacles of art at Marvel in over 75 years of publishing.

This story has officially become the best Thor story in my eyes, and it just might be Marvel’s best longform story of all time. I’d place it alongside Mark Gruenwald Captain America and Chris Claremont X-Men at this point.

Best Small-Pub Issue of the Week:
Punks Not Dead (2018) #1, IDW Publishing / Black Crown

An utterly madcap introduction to Punks Not Dead (and, for me, to Black Crown comics, which are edited by Shelly Bond distributed by IDW). This book is part Injection, part Sid and Nancy, and a little dash of the more lighthearted issues of Sandman.

It follows a teenage boy and his scam artist mom as the kid picks up some kind of supernatural echo of the deceased Sid Vicious in a dingy airport bathroom. Meanwhile, the beleaguered Department for Extra-Usual Affairs is busy putting minor demons out of the closet at 10 Downing Street with a staff of one.

This book is funny, unique, and looks freaking brilliant. Artist Martin Simmonds is simply incredible, drawing a real-seeming Britain with amped up color and clever use of cut-and-pasted patterns to ground it in real, textured reality. I am in love with this book, and will not only be keeping up with it, but also checking out other titles from Black Crown.
