The King in Black steps back onto the stage.

• Writer: Al Ewing (cosmic chaos guaranteed)

• His philosophy: give the God of the Void “nothing,” and he’ll weaponize it

Expect cosmic horror, a revenge quest, and some absolutely wild variants by Mike Walsh, Rafael Albuquerque, Iban Coello, and more. If you like Venom lore, big Marvel epics, or villain-centric books, Knull #1 is a strong “please add to my Pull Box” candidate.

Wanda Maximoff looks at the mystic to-do list and decides: “Fine, I’ll fix it myself.”

• Wanda claims the title of Sorcerer Supreme of Earth

• The Vishanti are… not pleased

Written by Steve Orlando with art by Bernard Chang, this series has big “Wanda rewrites the rules” energy. If you’ve been following the magical side of Marvel (or just love Scarlet Witch), this is a key new chapter. Marvel’s playing coy by putting it on FOC before all the lead-ins hit shelves, so if you even think you’ll want it, call it out now.

It’s Ocean’s Eleven meets WWE, with neon-soaked art (colorist Vladimir Popov) and plenty of humor. If you like big personality comics that don’t take themselves too seriously, Wrestle Heist #1 is absolutely worth the grab.

The sequel series to Die is here, and it’s already hitting hard.

• Kieron Gillen & Stephanie Hans return to the RPG-from-hell universe

• Years have passed; old wounds never really healed

• Issue #1 gave us a brutal re-entry and some emotional hits

Issue #2 raises the stakes, especially as family gets tangled up in the game. If you loved the original Die run, this is a no-brainer. If you missed it, we highly recommend starting with the original series and using Die: Loaded as your dessert course.

Penultimate issue of a beautifully strange horror mini.

• Aubrey = “Liquidator,” a fixer of temporal glitches

• Issue #1 sent her to 1880s New York hunting another time-hopper

Issue #2 continues the Gilded Age mission and deepens Aubrey’s personal mess in the present. If you like Milligan’s brand of “bent but brilliant” storytelling or books like Dept. of Truth, this is a sleeper pick we’re loving.

Religious horror from Boom! with a punk streak.

• Sister Marian is a monster-hunting nun questioning the institution that created her
