As the year keeps on going, Marvel Comics has a lot of titles fans are going to want to read this April. Itโs hard to believe that spring is already here, and even harder to believe how much has happened in the Marvel Universe. The Ultimate Universe is just a few months away from its grand finale, the groundwork for Marvel’s Armageddon event is being laid down, and Godzilla has returned to terrorize the cosmic side of Marvel. And still, there are plenty of other amazing stories Marvel has for fans this April.

Aprilโs going to be a month of variety for fans as thereโs something for everyone here. Comedy fans can expect a new Deadpool-themed special right in time for April Foolโs Day. Meanwhile, Wonder Man fans are getting a new miniseries dedicated to the history of Simon Williams. Even DC fans have something to look forward to as the Man of Steel joins Marvelโs wall-crawler in the duoโs second crossover book, Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman. Aprilโs going to be a good month for Marvel fans, and if youโre wondering what to keep on your radar, read on to see 5 must-read titles.
5. Deadpool: April Pool’s Day #1

I know Deadpool can be hit or miss, but Marvel tapped a good creative team here. Gail Simone and C.F. Villa are doing Deadpool: April Poolโs Day #1, and boy, does Wade Wilson have it cut out for him. The Marvel Universe is in danger, and the only one who knows is Deadpool. But due to this unfortunate discovery coinciding with April Foolโs Day, no one believes the Merc with a Mouth. Thatโs a pretty great idea for an April Foolโs one-shot, and if anyone has the comedic sensibilities to pull it off, itโs Simone.
4. Eternals 50th Anniversary #1

The Eternals have been out of the spotlight for a while, but in honor of the heroesโ 50th anniversary, Marvel is uniting an expansive creative team to bring them back into the spotlight. This special will tell the untold stories of the Eternals and even introduce a new one that promises to leave a sizable impact on the Marvel Universe. I donโt know how Ralph Macchio or Patrick Stump got roped into this project, but Iโm not gonna lie, Iโm interested in seeing how this one turns out. Plus, who doesnโt like all that wonderful Michael Cho art?
3. Wonder Man #1

MCU Fans everywhere are raving about the new Wonder Man show, and itโs paying off for Simon Williams, whoโs returning in his first self-titled series in nearly two decades. Gerry Dugan and Mark Buckingham team up for this miniseries that explores Wonder Manโs past, which catches up to him when he reunites with Randolph Chancellor, Williamsโ old cellmate. Before Marvel Comics introduces its brand-new Wonder Man during Ultimate Impact: Reborn, check out a story thatโs billed as being a love letter to L.A. and a tribute to the history of one of Marvelโs most underrated heroes.
2. Daredevil #1

Itโs been a while since the Man Without Fear has been in the spotlight, but with Daredevil: Born Again back for a new season, Marvel is striking while the iron is hot. Stephanie Phillips and Lee Garbett unite for Daredevil #1, the first issue of a brand-new ongoing. Matt Murdock has a new life as a law professor and a new enemy in the form of the mysterious Omen. Daredevil is my absolute favorite Marvel hero, so Iโm quite excited to see what this new series has in store for him. Knowing Daredevil, lots of action and ennui, probably.
1. Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman #1

In lighter news, April will bring Superman and Spider-Man back together for their second adventure in as many months. There are a lot of great talents involved in this one, including Dan Slott, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jason Aaron, Todd Nauck, Brian Michael Bendis, and Sara Pichelli. I donโt know if Iโm looking forward to the main crossover or the backups more, but Iโm sure all the stories are going to be great. And hey, if weโre lucky, maybe this crossover will pave the way for even more Marvel/DC collaborations in the future.
