Previews gives us a glimpse of what’s to come. Here’s the spotlight new books coming out of March Previews for Marvel Comics.
With the Empyre Event taking over most of the books in this months previews (which limits the number of overall picks), I’m going to skip over most if not all of them. Here’s some of the books we are likely adding to our pre-order pulls and subscribes though.
Strange Academy is the new series I think that has potential. This one has future show or movie vibes all over it and this previews issue just has a cover that looks awesome, makes me want to pick it up to read.

Probably the only Empyre tie-in book listed individually. I love this cover and despite the lack of heat since the Star storyline ended, this has been a great entertaining read and now that Captain Marvel is the Supreme Accuser, things could get more interesting.
