March 27, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 14th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 2 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics March 26 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: All-New Venom revealed, Thor goes to Utgard, Miles’s God War begins, Epic Siege of Darkness, Avengers vs. Avengers, Marvel Rivals in print, Sentry gets another reprint, Old Man Daredevil, a West Coast Masterwork that pisses me off, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Is this really happening… am I picking Deadpool (2024) #13 for my pick of the week!? You’re damn right I am! As Cody Ziglar heads into Year Two of this run he is hot off a smashing success with his Deadpool/Miles crossover. With truly funny quips, an outstanding supporting cast, and Rogê Antônio rotating back in on art I’m expecting major fun from this issue.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 2 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.

And now, onto Marvel Comics April 2 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 2 2025

Debating our list of Evergreen Wolverine Stories – LIVE on Near Mint Condition

March 27, 2025 by krisis

Are you ready to rumble? Today – March 27, I’m live with Near Mint Condition to share my list of Evergreen Wolverine stories – that means the Wolverine stories should never go out of print!

I’ll be co-hosting this debate with Uncanny Omar of Near Mint Condition and a panel of amazing guests. We will each share our picks for Wolverine evergreen stories… and then we’ll fight tooth and nail over our officially endorsed final list of Evergreen Wolverine Stories.

It’s the stream that is half serious recommendations, half a cut-throat game show of all of us trying to block other people’s recommendations so that all of our own make the list.

Guide to Giant Generator – Rick Remender’s Image Comics Imprint (New for Patrons!)

March 26, 2025 by krisis

Today I’m back with a different kind of guide for Patrons of CK – one that I’ve been considering for well over half a decade and finally decided to buckle down and complete. And, let me tell you, this is not the one I ever expected to be the first example! But, after an entire quarter of reading almost every comic out in the Direct Market, there’s one imprint that has been sticking out to me for generating non-stop positive reactions from readers with a wide array of comics. Some of them have even hooked me, noted curmudgeon. And, that’s why today I’m bringing you my first ever guide to a creator-centric imprint with my Guide to Giant Generator – an Image Comics imprint helmed by Rick Remender!!

Guide to Rick Remender’s Giant Generator

This guide is available exclusively to Patrons and will be available to the public later this year with the release of Giant Generator’s recently teased Wave 3 of comic titles.

Choosing Giant Generator as my first creator-centric guide was genuinely a big shock to me. Back in 2012 when Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force (2010) wrapped up I was sure that he was one of my favorite comic writers. But, after reading almost all of what he has recently deemed “Wave 0” of his creator-owned Giant Generator titles like Black Science (2013), Deadly Class (2014), and Low (2014) I felt like I wasn’t vibing with Remender all all?

So, what changed?

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Image Comics – March 26 2025

March 22, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: Many new #1s – including true crime getting too true, the next generation of mad science, a surprising mummy, and swingin’ 60s Bitter Root! Plus, Cobra Commander’s fate, Department of Truth does a Deep Throat, Feral cats back for a new arc, Savage Dragon goes kid-friendly (?), and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There are several intriguing #1s this week, but the one I keep coming back to is You’ll Do Bad Things (2025) #1 from Tyler Boss. Not only do I love a title that’s a imperative sentence, but I’m very curious to see more of artist Tyler Boss as an author. But, I almost picked Universal Monsters: The Mummy (2025) #1 by Faith Erin Hicks!!! More on both – and other intriguing #1s – below!

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on March 26 2025, plus collected editions. This isn’t the typical comic releases post you can find on other sites. Why? I explain each collection and comment on every series with a new issue out this week to help you figure out if they’re for you.

Plus, for some long-running series and Image Comics imprints, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to Indie Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!

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

New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: DC Comics – March 26 2025

Next week is the 13th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics March 26 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics March 19 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Camp’s Absolute Martian Manhunter debuts, Gunn’s Peacemaker, Taylor & Co’s final Nightwing collected, Diana’s Sovereign face-off concludes, Lex breaks bad, Golden Batman & Promethea reprints, Justice League tries to extinguish Inferno, a foul Harley Quinn one-shot, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: There’s only one answer for me – the reunion of one of my favorite creative teams of the past decade of comics, Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis on Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #6! To be fair, I’m also pretty damn excited about the continuing story in Green Arrow (2023) #22, but I absolutely lose my mind over any art from Mattia De Iulis, so seeing him credited on a Wonder Woman book is a dream come true for me!!!

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics March 26 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 in-continuity series with a new issue out this week.
