Marvel October 2024 Solicit Highlights::
Ah, October. When a young man’s thoughts turn spoooooky. And sure enough, there’s a few spooky items coming from Marvel this month. But first, the headliners.
Storm #1 hits, with the weather witch taking on her own solo title, as well as joining the Avengers. Marc Spector is back in a new title, Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu, from the same creative team, Jed MacKay and Alessandro Cappuccio. And making it a solo book hat trick, Iron Man #1 introduces a new creative team led by national security specialist Spencer Ackerman.
If you’re looking for interconnected events? Don’t worry, Marvel’s two Venoms are gooping their way into the Venom War with a slew of titles. In addition to a dedicated miniseries and the Venom title itself, there are eight different Venom War miniseries and one-shots, including a Fantastic Four tie-in where the synopsis starts, “The Fantastic Four may not have much history with Venom.” Cool, sounds good.
Spinning out of Blood Hunt, Blade gets his own adults-only Red Band book, a five-issue miniseries from writer Bryan Hill. Mystique also gets a five-issue miniseries, written and drawn by Declan Shalvey. And yet another five-issue, Sentinels, which brings together survivors of previous Marvel events to hunt down mutants, from Alex Paknadel.
You want spooky stuff already? How about Crypt of Shadows, a one-shot with stories by Benjamin Percy, Steve Foxe, Chris London, and Jason Loo. Meanwhile, Werewolf By Night: Red Band continues, as does Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay. Alien: Romulus gets a prequel comic, leading into the movie out in August, but afterwards. And Fantastic Four #26 is a Halloween special with both Johnny and Reed telling scary stories. Pretty spooky.
Other highlights include the end of Zeb Wells’s run on Amazing Spider-Man, which comes to a close with issue #60. That issue will also preview Joe Kelly and Justina Ireland’s “Eight Deaths of Spider-Man” story. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Spider-Boy #12 is completely classified, and so secret Marvel didn’t even send over any covers for the issue. What does writer Dan Slott have up his sleeves? We’ll find out in October.
