Powers of X #4 (of 6) and Powers of X #5 (of 6)
As Cerebro does as it was intended to do, Sinister does what Sinister does best and the future comes to an end.
Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman (FF, NEW AVENGERS, INFINITY) continues his reshaping of X-History alongside breakout artist R.B. Silva (UNCANNY X-MEN). The Future of the X-Men begins here! Rated T+
Just like House of X, we are blessed with Powers of X also out from Hickman. All other X related books are canceled or ceased upon the direction of Hickman to reboot these characters.
So it’s going to be interesting to see how these titles unfold and what’s in store for all the X-Men and mutants alike after these hit shelves.
The darkness is spreading, and Knull is winning.
But when the Surfer discovers something with the potential power to turn the tides, is he prepared to pay the terrible price for awakening it?
With the cost of survival already taking its heavy toll on him, does he have any other choice? Rated T+
I know most are not fans of Tradd Moore’s artwork.
So this the book you buy for the story and writing, not the interior artwork.
It’s a mini-series but could still pack some surprises.

A new threat is secretly taking over the planet — and the more people who know about it, the more powerful the threat becomes.

So he must recruit a team of heroes accustomed to darkness — a strikeforce.

BLACK WIDOW: YEAR ONE! One of Marvel Comics’ longest-running female heroes finally gets her due!
Natasha Romanoff is the deadliest spy in the Marvel Universe and the beating heart of the Avengers. But when a mysterious figure starts exploiting her past, the Widow may have to go back to Black – and off the grid.
Who can she trust in this web of deceit? And more importantly – can her friends trust her? Don’t miss the spy tale of the century! Rated T+
I love a good Black Widow story and I really enjoy Jody Houser’s work. I also really like it when they stick to some of the secret agent stories for Black Widow, as that’s what she does best I think.
So this might be a winning combination for a mini-series of the Avengers favorite lady.
ABSOLUTE CARNAGE TIE-IN! Carnage’s unlikely and symbiotic allies swarm Venom and his family!
As all hell continues to break loose as Carnage’s army swarms the streets of New York, Eddie Brock has his hands full at Rex’s Warehouse! Rated T+
Donny Cates recently tweeted that big things are in store for Venom during the Carnage tie-ins.
Should we believe him or is it just him playing marketing rep for the book he writes? Well, he’s been known to surprise with his rewrites and first appearances in the Marvel Universe.
So these are definite books to keep an eye on. Seems Cates has been revolving his entire line of stories all around this Knull God of the Symbiotes so anything can happen.
Sienkiewicz on interiors has me excited for that issue as he is my favorite artist. I’m also digging the Zaffino cover for King Thor.
Yeah, Sienkiewicz interiors one can’t go wrong.
