It’s time to take a look at what’s out from Marvel Comics this week! This post covers Marvel Comics April 19 2023 releases.
This list includes every comic and digital comic out from Marvel this week, plus collected editions in omnibus, hardcover, paperback, and digest-sized formats. For each new release, I’ll point you to the right Crushing Comics guide.
Marvel Comics April 19 2023 Collected Editions
Guardians of the Galaxy by Al Ewing (2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302949907 / digital)
See Guide to Guardians of the Galaxy. This is effectively a “Complete Collection,” though Marvel is starting to phase that brand out in favor of “Modern Epics.” This not only includes Ewing’s complete Guardians run (but none of the Last Annihilation tie-ins), but also his run on Rocket (2017) #1-6.
The Incredible Hulk Epic Collection Vol. 24: The Lone and Level Sands
See Guide to Hulk – Bruce Banner. This is ostensibly the last Hulk Epic Collection, as it complete the run of the Incredible Hulk (1968) series.
Iron Man Epic Collection: Doom (2018 paperback, ISBN 978-1302910136 / 2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302950446 / digital)
See Guide to Iron Man, Tony Stark. This is a reprint of an existing 2018 Epic.
Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil Vol. 17 (2023 hardcover, ISBN 978-1302949259 / digital)
See Guide to Daredevil. This collection brings us to the end of the original Frank Miller run on Daredevil! Now we have it completely remastered to Masterworks quality. I’d expect it to finally hit Epic Collection in the next year or two.
Marvel-Verse: Rocket & Groot (2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302950729 / digital)
See Guide to Rocket Raccoon. Collects a smattering of Rocket & Groot adventures from Incredible Hulk (1963) #271, Free Comic Book Day 2014 (Rocket), Rocket Raccoon (2014) #5, Rocket Raccoon and Groot (2016) #4, Groot (2015) #6 and material from A Year of Marvels: The Unbeatable
Planet of the Apes Adventures: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus (2023 hardcover, ISBN 978-1302950736 / digital)
This incredibly slim omnibus collects Adventures on the Planet of the Apes (1975) #1-11.
Predator by Ed Brisson, Vol. 1: Day of the Hunter (2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302926199 / digital)
Collects Predator (2022) #1-6
Trials of X, Vol. 8 (2023 paperback, ISBN 978-1302948429 / digital)
See Guide to X-Men – The Age of Krakoa. These anthologies are still pretty far behind the present day – this is just cracking into Sabretooth’s series from the start of 2022!

Marvel Comics April 19 2023 Physical Comic Releases
The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #24 – See Guide to Spider-Man, Peter Parker (2018 – Present). This is the arc that finally reveals the terrible events that set up this Zeb Wells run. I’m still an arc or two behind, so I can’t say how satisfying this will be – but, I know many fans are very unhappy with the Mary Jane developments in this series so far.
Avengers Assemble: Omega (2023) #1 – See Guide to Avengers Flagship Titles (2010 – Present Day). We’ve finally reached the end of Jason Aaron’s half-decade run on Avengers!
Bishop: War College (2023) #3 – See Guide to X-Men – The Age of Krakoa
Captain America: Unforgiven (2023) #1 – See Guide to Captain America – Steve Rogers. This Tim Seeley & Sid Kotian one-shot pits Cap against vampires, and is the final of a series of Unforgiven one-shots following Spider-Man Unforgiven and X-Men Unforgiven one-shots. There’s a collection out later this year.
Hallows’ Eve (2023) #2 – See Guide to Spider-Man, Peter Parker (2018-Present). This is one of those times where I’m not quite sure what guide should include this series. Hallow’s Eve first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #14 and Spider-Man co-stars in many of the issues, so it’s in his guide for the moment.
Hellcat (2023) #2 – See Guide to Hellcat, Patsy Walker. This new series from Christopher Cantwell extends the story from the awesome Iron Man / Hellcat Annual.
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur (2022) #5 – See Guide to Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur
New Mutants: Lethal Legion (2023) #2 – See Guide to New Mutants & Young X-Men
Nightcrawlers (2023) #3 – See Guide to X-Men – The Age of Krakoa. This is part of the Sins of Sinister event.
Punisher (2022) #11 – See Guide to Punisher
Red Goblin (2023) #3 – I don’t have a guide for this Alex Paknadel series to fit into (yet), but I read issues #1-2 and I loved them! This series follows Normie Osborn, Harry’s grandson, and his perspective on the world of Spider-people and symbiotes.
She-Hulk (2022) #12 – See Guide to She-Hulk
Star Wars: Sana Starros (2023) #3 – See Guide to Star Wars – Expanded Universe Comics

X-Force (2019) #39 – See Guide to X-Force.
X-Treme X-Men (2022) #5 – See Guide to X-Treme X-Men. The conclusion of this retcon series from Claremont & Larroca.
