Amazing Spider-Man #238 Facsimile Edition is a book every Spidey fan should have in their collection, original that is but this is the next best thing I think. Still a pretty affordable book though if you ask me. When are we getting Hobgoblin in a Spider-Man movie? Not if or when, this book will explode.

Avengers #54 is a title we should probably be paying attention to. Seems like potential for new characters, changes and a lot of other things that could result into some spec plays down the beaten path.

Avengers #54 (Foreshadow Variant)
Avengers #54 (Liefeld Deadpool 30th Variant)
Avengers #54 (Smallwood Carnage Forever Variant)
Avengers #54 (Nakayama Infinity Sage Phase 2 Variant)

Avengers Forever #4 is another Aaron Avengers title we should pay attention to as well. Bringing back characters from his GoT run could result in some fun reads and potential spec.

Avengers Forever #4 (Silva Stormbreakers Variant)
Avengers Forever #4 (Skan Infinity Saga Phase 2 Variant)
Avengers Forever #4 (Hans Carnage Forever Variant)

Captain Carter #1 (of 5) is a book I’m looking forward to. I don’t anticipate any heat but you never know right as firsts could be lurking within the story for this mini-series title.

Captain Carter #1 (of 5) (Nauck Headshot Variant)
Captain Carter #1 (of 5) (Pichelli Womens History Month Variant)
Captain Carter #1 (of 5) (Shalvey Infinity Saga Phase 2 Variant)
Captain Carter #1 (of 5) (Bartel Carnage Forever Variant)

Dark Ages #6 (of 6) concludes Tom Taylor’s event and it’ll be interesting. I have yet to read this event myself but have been picking them up to read them all at the same time in one sitting.

Dark Ages #6 (of 6) (Hans Variant)

Devils Reign #6 (of 6) is another event written by Chip Z. that is concluding. Another title I’m picking up and plan on reading the entirety in one sitting.

Devils Reign #6 (of 6) (Bagley Connecting Variant)

Ghost Rider #2 is a must for any Ghost Rider fan. Really digging these regular covers.

Ghost Rider #2 (Artist a Variant)
Ghost Rider #2 (Tan Carnage Forever Variant)

Hulk Grand Design Monster #1 is a concept I just absolutely love and really love this regular cover. Count me in..

Hulk Grand Design Monster #1 (Piskor Variant)
Hulk Grand Design Monster #1 (Momoko Variant)
Hulk Grand Design Monster #1 (Martin Variant)

Punisher #1 is a must. Huge Punisher fan here and we need more Frank Castle.

Punisher #1 (Parlov Variant)
Punisher #1 (Su Variant)
Punisher #1 (Spoiler Variant)Punisher #1 (Souza Variant)

Some other notables but not big on my own highlight picks as books to keep an eye on or for just the read are:

Thor #23
Venom Lethal Protector #1 (of 5)
Venom #6
Women of Marvel #1
Strange Academy #17
Reckoning War Trial of Watcher #1
