One World Under Doom (2025) #2, a Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releaseNext week is the 12th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics March 19 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 12 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: a surprising hunk of Web of Spider-Man, Deadpool vs. Miles concludes, classic Ultimate F4 in omnibus, Ultimate X-Men year Two, penultimate X-Force, bloody questions for Carnage, New Champions gets even more toyetic, Ryan North’s rule of Doom continues, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: It’s an easy pick this week – One World Under Doom (2025) #2! The first issue of this event from Ryan North, RB Silva, & David Curiel had me reading and re-reading it as much for the big action as for the witty jokes. Now that Doom is in control, what comes next? I can’t wait to find out from a book that is already ensconced deep in my Top 10 of 2025 with just one issue.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics March 19 2025, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats.

This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and review every series with a new issue out this week. Plus, for every new release, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Marvel Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

There’s no other website on the internet that can claim that.

Violator: Origins (2024) #6 (of 6), an Image Comics March 12 2025 new release from Todd McFarlane Productions

Next week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Violator ends and his beginning is collected(!), Camp’s very normal Crisis Events, Transformers teases an epic rivalry, an apocalyptic meal of Chew and East of West compendiums, Rogue Sun back for a new arc, things get nightmarish in Moon Is Following Us, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: In a major upset, I think I’m genuinely more excited to see how Marc Andreyko wraps up Violator: Origin (2024) #6 than I am for Deniz Camp’s Assorted Crisis Events (2025) #1 now that I know that will be an anthology series. Violator was also an anthology of single one-shot stories, but all of them with Violator and filling out the deep lore of the Spawn Universe. Plus, this week Alan Moore’s Violator is finally collected!!!

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on March 12 2025, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why?

Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #4, a DC Comics March 12 2025 new releaseNext week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Absolute destruction of Krypton, Finest Suicide Squad, Arrow in Omnibus, Black Lightning’s last strike, a new case full of Dark Patterns, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is too hard… there are two books that have been embedded in my Top 10 out this week! But, after a long deliberation, I think I have to pick Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #4 over Absolute Superman (2024) #5. Dark Patterns just wrapped up a very satisfying first arc in three issues, whereas Absolute Superman is alternating a main story with origin issues – a publishing strategy I’m not wild about, even if all of the content is absolutely stellar.

Deadpool (2024) #12, a Marvel Comics March 12 2025 new releaseNext week is the 11th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics March 12 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 5 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Nocenti’s Daredevil finally in omni, more X-Manhunt (whether we like it or not), Kylo Ren chases Vader’s Legacy, Aaron’s Namor concludes, Miles Morales goes Epic, a huge Hudlin Panther omnibus, Stark Insurgent begins, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: In a week without any big debuts, I’m left to get excited over some of my favorite ongoing titles, and high on that stack right now is Deadpool (2024) #12! Cody Ziglar is on quite a run of perfect, hilarious Deadpool stories that make excellent use of his supporting cast, and I’m loving his crossover conflict with Miles Morales.
