Marvel Reveals Updated Release Schedule

05/19/2020 11:58 am EDT

Marvel Comics has revealed its upcoming schedule of releases through July. The comics direct market was on freeze after Diamond Comic Distributors stopped shipping new products. As of this week, the direct market is back open for business (and observing social distancing protocols, we hope). Marvel has released its updated schedule so that fans know when they'll be able to find comics delayed since April. There's also a list of what's new coming in May, June, and July. The schedule includes new installments of popular series like X-Men, The Fantastic Four, and Avengers. July also sees the launch of the summer crossover event Empyre.

Empyre is now set to release weekly beginning July 15th. The event sees the Kree and the Skrulls, once fierce enemies, uniting under a new emperor and setting course for Earth. The Avengers prepare for war while the Fantastic Four pursue a diplomatic solution. Whether either effort yields success remains unknown.

"We couldn't be more excited to start rolling out new Marvel comics again on a weekly basis, including our long-anticipated cosmic summer event, Empyre!" said Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski in a statement. "We know Marvel fans are eager to dive back into the Marvel Universe, and we can't wait to bring you spectacular new stories with stunning art every Wednesday. As anticipation and excitement builds, we'll continue to keep a balanced release schedule for our comics and trade collections, and starting in mid-July, fans can look forward to even more releases for Marvel's latest comics!"
