Next 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.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 9 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 Marvel Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Godzilla invades the Marvel U, X-Manhunt is over (hooray!), Scarlet Witch gets Masterworked, Daredevil wraps his neverending deadly sins, Ultimate Gambit & Kitty Pryde, DWJ’s Beta Ray Bill back to print, Red Hulk breaks out, Old Republic Legends reprinted, whatever the Pooluminati are, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s is a very tight call to make this pick over two books resolving cliffhangers that have been on my mind all month, but I have to give it to Ultimate Wolverine (2025) #3 debuting Ultimate Gambit and Kitty Pryde! This book is becoming the de facto “Ultimate X-Men” since the actual Ultimate X-Men (2024) isn’t much of a traditional X-Men title. However, I very nearly picked Red Hulk (2025) #2 or Ultimate Spider-Man (2024) #15 given how both of their prior issues left off last month.

Next week is the 8th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics February 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics February 12 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: One of Marvel’s hugest release weeks OF ALL TIME! Doom Academy, a Battleworld omnibus, Hickman’s Avengers take their fight against xenomorphs to space, Wanda the Queen of Chaos, Casey’s Weapon X-Men debut, Storm’s eternity, Thunderbolts return, and so much more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This might surprise you, but for me it’s Doom Academy (2025) #1! The Strange Academy kids eventually won me over, and I’m really curious to see how their personalities evolve while under Doctor Doom’s tutelage. Plus, Kid Krisis has all of their trade paperbacks and has literally been asking me about when this new issue would come out at least once a week since Marvel teased it late last year.

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).

Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 11th Annual Secret Ballot Results & Mappings

April 17, 2023 by krisis

This morning I had the absolute pleasure of announcing the results of the Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 11th Annual Secret Ballot with Near Mint Condition!

The Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus Secret Ballot is an annual poll conducted by a mysterious comic book forum user named Tigereyes. The rules are simple: anyone can email Tigereyes up to 10 picks for their most-wanted, never-before-printed omnibuses of material originally printed by Marvel, even if they may no longer own the licensing rights.

Each first vote gets 10 points, each second vote gets 9 points, all the way down to your tenth vote getting just 1 point. After the voting period, Tigereyes goes through the gargantuan effort of tallying up all the votes – which also involves figuring out what everyone meant by their sometimes inconsistently-named or cryptically-described votes.

For me, the reveal of the results of the Tigereyes Secret Ballot is an international comics-loving holiday. I used to be the primary person on the internet creating statistics from the results every year! However, when I attempted to cover the entire poll entry-by-entry in 2017 I stalled out at the halfway point as the results straddled our move to New Zealand.

That’s why it was worth waking up at 4am NZ time to be ready to share this year’s results with my good friends Omar and Jess on the Near Mint Condition channel, thanks to some last-minute planning with Omar over the weekend.

Our show was nearly three hours long as we dug into the potential contents of every book on the list and whether we’d read them or not. As always, I had just as much fun appearing on-camera as I did chatting with all of the wonderful Minties in the live chat!

Don’t have time for the full 3-hour tour? We actually run down the full 60-book list in just 15 minutes, starting just before the 12-minute mark. I’m sharing the full list below, but it’s more than just a list – every omnibus includes a full suggested omnibus mapping along with a link to the relevant collecting guide on Crushing Comics.

That’s right, y’all – this is a post with SIXTY omnibus mappings in it, mapping well over 2,000 issues of comics. (Actually, it’s even more than that – there’s one tie, and in several entries I get into mapping second volumes if they would complete a run). That makes that one of the longest blog posts in 23 years of CrushingKrisis history.

Are you ready to be rocked by the Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus vote? Strap in, true believers, and prepare to be mapped like you’ve never been mapped before.
