1 Knull #1 – The King in Black Returns

In the shadows of the cosmos, the ancient Knull breaks his silence with a vengeance. This is the first-ever solo series, and it’s already dripping with anticipation.


Knull emerged during Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman’s Venom saga as a cosmic threat unlike anything that came before him. His rise culminated in King in Black, where the world’s greatest heroes were forced into an uneasy alliance just to survive his onslaught.


Knull now exists in exile, his power stolen, his crown lost, and his captivity enforced by an enemy no one saw coming. From the void, he schemes patiently, reshaping emptiness into opportunity. When he breaks free, he won’t just reclaim his legacy; he’ll forge something far worse.

As a solo first-searise and cool story, this is my number 1.

2 Logan: Black, White & Blood #1

Wolverine’s life has never been clean, and it’s never been quiet. This collection dives headfirst into Logan’s blood-soaked past, told through stark, unforgiving stories rendered in black, white, and red by elite creative teams.


Tom Waltz and Alex Lins pull back the curtain on a previously unseen chapter of Logan’s 1950s military service, one that ties him to a beloved Marvel figure in ways no one expected.

In another era, the grime of 1970s Times Square becomes the hunting ground for a twisted killer, with Logan drawn into the shadows in a relentless story by Saladin Ahmed and Adam Kubert.


And when Logan finally breaks free from the horrors of Weapon X, survival becomes his only objective in a brutal escape tale by Larry Hama and Dave Wachter.


This is Wolverine as he was meant to be told, raw, violent, and unstoppable, and just look at the cover!!!!

3 Luna Snow: World Tour #1 – K-Pop Hero Hits the Road

Move over, Dazzler – there’s a new singing superhero taking center stage! Luna Snow, the K-pop idol with ice powers (born in Marvel’s games and now shining in comics), embarks on her first solo series with World Tour #,1 so worth collecting.


Written by Greg Pak with art by Ario Anindito and Takeshi Miyazawa, this story finds Luna at rock bottom after the world’s recent chaos. (It turns out even saving the planet from Doctor Doom’s takeover can’t prevent a pop star slump.

4 Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse – Clash of the Multiversal Titans

Spider-people and symbiotes – together, what's not to like


You bet, and it’s not a team-up, it’s a throwdown. Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse is a wild limited series that dropped jaws in 2025, and its finale has just hit, leaving ripples worth speculating on.


The premise: two multiversal legacies collide – the infinite Spider-Verse of web-slingers versus the hive-mind hordes. The stakes? Control of the mysterious “Web-Heart” and survival of their respective realities.

5 The Avengers #34 (Legacy #800) – Kang at the Precipice of a New Universe

Avengers #34 isn’t just another issue – it’s the 800th Avengers issue (legacy numbering), a massive milestone that finds Earth’s Mightiest Heroes at a reality-rending crossroads.


Writer Jed MacKay has been weaving a complex tapestry for the team, and it all comes to a head here. The big bad revealed?


Kang the Conqueror, of course – time-traveling despot extraordinaire – and he’s up to his old multiversal tricks with a new twist.


Perhaps this ties into the recently resurrected Ultimate Universe or even the long-dormant New Universe imprint – whatever it is, Kang is toying with the fundamental fabric of reality.

6 Skyclad #1

Louene Willoughby is the owner of Willow’s, an exclusive gentlemen’s club where illusion and indulgence blur together. To the public, her stage identity is theatrical, a sultry witch persona designed to captivate. The truth is far older and far darker.


Willow is genuinely part of a sky-clad coven that practices ancient natural magic. Long before neon lights and velvet ropes, she was a healer in old-world Europe, condemned for witchcraft and sentenced to die. Her execution was halted by Panacea, a powerful witch who saved Willow not out of mercy, but self-interest.


But debts in witchcraft are never forgiven.
