New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 16 2025

April 10, 2025 by krisis

Next week is the 16th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Marvel Comics April 16 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Marvel Comics April 9 2025 new releases.

This week in Marvel Comics: Tony Stark’s anti-Doom insurgency, Elektra & Ghost Rider vs. Muse, Epic Modern Widow, Godzilla vs. 70s Hulk, Aaron Wolverine reprinted, Spider-Men battle paired foes, some mysterious Superior Avengers, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: Marvel’s line is in a rough spot without many exciting comic series at the moment, so my pick of the week has to default to a Star Wars book for a second week in a row. Congratulations, Star Wars: Legacy of Vader (2025) #3, your my pick because Marvel’s superhero editorial strategy at the moment is a dumpster fire! Although, in truth, I do find this series pretty fun – as is the case anytime Charles Soule deep dives into a villain.

This post includes every comic out from Marvel Comics April 16 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 16 2025 new releases! [Read more…] about New Comics & Collected Editions Releases: Marvel Comics – April 16 2025

Guide to Ghost Machine – Geoff Johns’ Image Comics Imprint (New for Patrons!)

April 9, 2025 by krisis

Today I’m back with another new indie guide for Patrons of CK! It’s a guide for an Image Imprint that has created non-stop chatter over the past year, including a constant hum on my Pull List streams. You might be surprised that I devoted a whole guide to it, since I’m historically not a fan of its main author! But, like every guide on the site, this one was borne from me having a question about the comics that no one else on the internet answered to my satisfaction. That’s why I now have my second guide to a creator-centric imprint with my Guide to Ghost Machine – an Image Comics imprint helmed by Geoff Johns!

Guide to Geoff Johns’ Ghost Machine

This guide is available exclusively to Patrons and will be available to the public later this year with the release of the First Ghost (2025) series and an end-of-year wave of collections.

Anyone who has followed me across various videos and message boards in addition to this blog knows I have no great love for Geoff Johns as a scripter. I enjoy him occasionally, especially during DC’s New 52, but often I just don’t vibe with his plot and character choices.

Then why am I making a guide for his Image Comics imprint, launched in 2024 to gather together a pair of existing mini-series and launch a new line of ongoing titles by Johns, Peter Tomasi, letterer Rob Leigh, and their artistic collaborators?

Two words: Shared Multiverse.

Next week is the 15th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers Image Comics April 9 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering Image Comics April 2 2025 new releases.

This week in Image Comics: A silent Jinx from Watters & Dani, two Spawn classics collected, a major explainer in Transformers, old-lady revenge, Geiger vs. The Glowing Woman, collected Lore Remastered, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: This is a strong week of Image where I’m interested in every single book on the list, but there can be only choice for me – Dan Watters & Dani taking on my favorite Joe in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero – Jinx (2025) #1! Jinx has only popped up occasionally in Larry Hama’s relaunched A Real American Hero universe so far, so I’m looking forward to seeing her in this classic-style silent adventure.

This post includes every comic out from Image Comics this week on April 9 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.

Next week is the 15th new comic book day of 2025! This post covers DC Comics April 9 2025 new releases. Missed this week’s releases? Check out last week’s post covering DC Comics April 2 2025 new releases.

This week in DC Comics: Batman’s Absolute second arc, G. Willow Wilson’s superstar Superman, Finest Batgirl, Aquaman lost in The Blue, Deluxe Fudd by King & Weeks, Snyder & Tynion’s League hits omnibus, Lantern’s journey to the center of Thanagar, the Dark Patterns of a talking tower, and more!

The Krisis Pick of the Week: I know I’m supposed to pick Batman: Dark Patterns (2024) #5 because we are all obsessed with Dark Patterns. And I’m sure it will be amazing, especially after last month’s final page! But, folks, I am just too dang curious about another final reveal from last month – the one that’s leading into Green Lantern Corps (2025) #3. After a gorgeous and super-tense issue #2, I absolutely need to know what’s going on with Thanagar’s unexpected golden center! I’m so curious I would pay extra to read it right now.

This post includes every comic out from DC Comics April 9 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. Plus, for most new releases, I’ll point you to a personally-curated guide within the Crushing Comics Guide to DC Comics to find out how to collect that title in full!
