Musings on the April 2020 Marvel Previews

2/9/2020

  For the first time, I picked up one of the preview books, flipped through it, and here are the things that are coming in April that I'm pretty intrigued by.  I'm going to focus on the new titles which are dropping, and not anything I'm currently reading.
  • The featured book on the cover is Empyre #1.  I'm assuming this is the event that is setup by Incoming, which came out maybe 6 weeks ago.  If the team-up of Avengers and Fantastic 4 is who will save the world from the Kree/Skrull alliance, then I'm on board.  In the 4 pages of art we get, it is all fantastic, and I'll be in for a book or two. Where this series could get a little too much is all of the spinoff books, am I going to get sucked into all of them like the Dawn of X cluster of books, probably....
  • There is a 5-issue run of TASKMASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • BARRACUDA IS COMING FROM MAX FOR THE FIRST TIME INTO A MARVEL PUNISHER BOOK!!!!!! (yeah, thats a lot of caps in a row, but those two things excite me!)
  • There's finally an X-Factor book coming, I've usually liked X-Factor in the past, so we'll see how I feel.
  • Marvel Snapshots: There are several of these I've seen popping up all over the place.  I was a big fan of the "History of the Marvel Universe" 6-issue run of last year, and the descriptions of the Captain America and X-Men books promise to be written in the same style (and there is a NAMOR book coming!!).
  • How to read comics the Marvel way: this is a 4-part how to guide for either new readers, or a "peek under the hood" for seasoned readers.  This is something I think could be pretty cool since I am interested in looking at how publishers are making content accessible to new/returning readers like myself.

Anyone else have any thoughts on other books I overlooked?  Excited about the same titles?  Regardless, Marvel will continue to take my money, and I'll look for other folks' preview books in the next couple of weeks to see what else I'm going to get excited about (I'm looking at you Dark Horse, DC, and Aftershock!).
