Marvel Comics News Digest 10/17 – 10/21/16 Featuring Hail Hydra and RessurXion

This is a big size digest of Marvel news.  The biggest is of RessurXion – several teaser images of new X-Men comics.  Each image has portions taken from the past, both recent and long ago.  It’s believed that these are hints to the direction each series will take.  A couple characters will have their first ongoing series.  It’s also nice to see and note that a couple nods to the 90’s will exist in a new form.

Other than the mutant news, Hail Hydra will be a big storyline in Captain America.  Inhumans vs. X-Men is heating up.  Squirrel Girl will have a big issue soon.  Thanos gets his own comic, as well as Slapstick.  Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet has another episode.  Monsters Unleashed is coming soon.  Civil War II’s last issue is coming sooner than expected.  Clone Conspiracy gets another printing.  And Marvel Comics gets translated.  Like I said, it’s a larger sized digest this week, so check it all out below!

New York, NY—October 18th, 2016 — This January, it’s all hands on deck as the Avengers, the Champions, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, the Inhumans and more stand toe-to-toe with hordes of giant monsters in MONSTERS UNLEASHED #1!

Today, Marvel is pleased to announce SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #1.MU and AVENGERS #1.MU as the first two one-shots getting in on the massive monster mayhem!

 

“Monsters Unleashed is rampaging across the Marvel Universe and a select few of your favorite titles this January,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “Eight oversized .MU one-shots that add even more over-the-top widescreen action than the main Monsters Unleashed series can contain. Who doesn’t want to see the Avengers, Spider-Man and Deadpool throw down with some giant monsters?”  

 

It all kicks off in SPIDER-MAN/DEADPOOL #1.MU, as the Marvel’s resident odd couple comes face-to-face(-to face?) with one of the hundreds of giant behemoths smashing and stomping their way across the Marvel Universe! Spider-Man swings into action, but what can one wallcrawler do against just one of these massive monstrosities? Thankfully he has Deadpool backing him up! Just kidding, Deadpool is going to be about as helpful as he usually is. Then, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes take the fight to the monsters in AVENGERS #1. MU! Can a team of some of the strongest characters around hold the line against the monster invasion? Or will they be crushed like everyone else?

 

We’re just getting started, True Believer! You won’t want to miss the massive monster mayhem as Monsters Unleashed rampages across some of your favorite titles next year!
