War of the Realms comes to an end in War of the Realms: Omega #1. The one-shot issue sets up several spinoff series launching the same month. These include Loki, which gives Thor’s brother new responsibilities, Valkyrie, which casts Jane Foster in a new role in the Asgardian pantheon, and Punisher Kill Krew, which sees Frank Castle try to extend his vengeful war to include myths and monsters.
The Jonathan Hickman era of X-Men begins in with House of X #1 and Powers of X #1, two miniseries that dive into the past, present, and future of Marvel’s mutants.
Invisible Woman gets her own miniseries from fan-favorite Fantastic Four writer Mark Waid. Waid also writes The History of the Marvel Universe, the definitive chronicle of Marvel history, with artist Javier Rodriguez.
Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek revisit their classic miniseries Marvels for its 15th anniversary. Marvels Epilogue offers a new chapter in that story, one that examines the all-new, all-different era of the X-Men.
Keep reading to see all of Marvel’s biggest releases in July. What are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!
