We're just heading into the last chunk of 2023, but Marvel Comics is already looking ahead to next year with the release of the publisher's January 2024 solicitations.
And on that note, Marvel is kicking 2024 off with a bang, with a major X-Men event, a Spider-Man crossover, and the launch of the new Ultimate Universe.
First up, the X-Men's age of Krakoa is seemingly coming to an end with the dual limited series Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, which mirror the interlocking limited series that launched the Krakoa era, House of X and Powers of X.
At the same time, in another part of the Marvel Universe, Spider-Man and his allies will become embroiled in a violent crossover titled 'Gang War,' in which the criminal leaders of New York City go to battle in the streets, with everyone from Spidey himself to Luke Cage, Spider-Woman, and even the recently returned Kingpin, Wilson Fisk.
And then there are the new titles announced for the first wave of the newly reborn Ultimate Universe, starting with Ultimate Spider-Man. The new Ultimate Spidey will be joined in the first wave of titles by Ultimate Black Panther, and Ultimate X-Men, each with all new concepts that set them apart from both the mainstream Marvel Universe and the original Ultimate Universe.
But that's just scratching the surface of another packed month of releases. Read on for a closer look at some of the biggest highlights from Marvel's January 2023 solicitations followed by all of the comics and trades. If you still want more, you can also check out all of Marvel and DC's recent listings here on our solicitations tab.
We all know the cliche about comic book deaths, but Magneto has stayed in the ground longer than expected. Perhaps because of that, Resurrection of Magneto arrives with a real sense of anticipation. Al Ewing's work is always intriguing and it feels appropriate that, as the Krakoan Age comes to an end, we're seeing the return of one of the greatest of all mutants.
Away from the X-Men, the epic Gang War crossover is set to tear its way through New York. But while much of the focus will likely be on characters like Luke Cage and Spider-Man, I'm most looking forward to Mary Jane's upcoming Jackpot #1. It's sure to be fun seeing how one of the smartest characters in all of comics deals with all the super-powered chaos while still grappling with her own relatively new powers.
There's some amazing Alex Ross work this month, with the artist turning in two covers for Avengers: Twilight. But honestly, I'm more into the bizarre freakiness of his cover for Fantastic Four #15, which sees Marvel's First Family in serious trouble. Gorgeous stuff from one of our most reliably eye-catching artists. Until next month, happy

It’s been a week since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 dropped. The game received rave reviews, and gamers are having a ball playing it. The game mechanics are a dream; the graphics are spectacular, especially the spatial layout and design of New York and its surroundings. Gliding and web-slinging through the urban landscapes on a mission is an exhilarating experience. The game is great even if you change characters, like switching from Peter Parker to Miles Morales. Other highlights in the game are the story and Spider-Man’s gadgets. Reviewers can ramble about what’s been great about the game, but sometimes even great games come with problems. One such problem is popping up online from players complaining about a side mission with Hailey Cooper in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
includes several new mechanics to set the game apart from its predecessors, such as web wings for traversal, or the inclusion of symbiote abilities for Peter Parker. While the game does pare back the amount of gadgets that are available from previous entries, eschewing the gadget wheel selection menu for a more streamlined system, it does add a new item that can greatly improve stealth.

Marvel's 2023 Timeless one-shot, its annual anthology issue which sets the stage for some of the biggest storylines to come of the following year, will take a leap forward to a timeline where one surviving hero stands alone against an all-powerful villain who threatens reality itself.

continues many of the stories seen in its predecessors, from Peter and Miles grieving the loss of loved ones to the return of Harry Osborn and the long-awaited Venom symbiote. However, one character's transformation within the series may come as a surprise when they return in the recent sequel, at least for those who didn't play 's story DLC.
Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has acknowledged that Sandman's inclusion in the sequel is a bit of a plothole thanks to a collectible that could be found in the first game.
