Soaring your way… Back in August, we listed the most compelling Marvel Epic Collections coming in early 2027, but there were three with sketchy details. Dig these updated listings: — MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE EPIC COLLECTION: MONSTER MAN The ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing smashes into a new round of team-up action! This volume launches with double-sized epics pitting Ben Grimm against the Hulk, the Stranger and Pluto, and then throws both him and the Avengers into a Negative Zone war against Blastaar, Annihilus and the Super-Adaptoid. The excitement keeps rolling as the Thing faces the Circus of Crime, journeys into Man-Thing’s swamp, confronts Atlas-era terror Xemnu and burns rubber with Ghost Rider. Guest stars abound — from Ant-Man to Sandman to the American Eagle. Our exploits take a heartfelt turn when the Thing fights to save Giant-Man from a deadly illness, revealing the soul inside all those tons of stone. It’s classic heroism in the Marvel manner from Tom DeFalco and Ron Wilson! COLLECTING: Marvel Two-in-One (1974) #75-87, Marvel Two-in-One Annual (1976) #5-6 Written by: Tom DeFalco with Alan Kupperberg, Doug Moench & David Michelinie Penciled by: Ron Wilson & Alan Kupperberg with Jerry Bingham $49.99 400 Pages Jun 8, 2027 — WOLVERINE EPIC COLLECTION: ESCAPE FROM WEAPON X The defining tale of how Logan became Wolverine and more uncanny adventures! In one of the greatest Marvel Comics stories ever told, visionary creator Barry Windsor-Smith reveals the brutal story of how Logan got his adamantium skeleton! After being taken hostage by an experimental Canadian military science outfit, Logan is transformed into Weapon X — an unstoppable killing machine with razor-sharp claws. But Weapon X cannot be contained by his captors — and trapped in their lab with the monster they have made, they will face his feral wrath! Back in the present day, Wolverine is rocked by vividly painful memories when he returns to the Weapon X facility! Can Jean Grey and Professor X help him unlock the secrets of his dark past? Plus: A savage showdown with Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike and the Hunter-in-Darkness! A feral team-up with Wolfsbane! And the vicious Omega Red makes his debut, which is bad news for Logan and the X-Men! COLLECTING: Wolverine (1988) #45-50, Wolverine: Rahne of Terra (1991) #1, X-Men (1991) #4-7; material from Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #72-84 Written by: Larry Hama, Peter David,...
Neat. The cover of 1973’s The Amazing Spider-Man #129 is one of the most popular of the Bronze Age, featuring the classic first appearance of the Punisher, by Gil Kane and John Romita: It’s been homaged 1,000,006 times and it only made sense that it would also be the cover for March 2027’s The Punisher Epic Collection: The Punisher Strikes. Thing is, using Spidey’s logo wouldn’t work, so Marvel came up with a pretty nifty solution — swapping in the Punisher’s Bronze Age banner: It’s a little loose, but I dig it. Here’s the solicitation info, as a reminder: — THE PUNISHER EPIC COLLECTION: THE PUNISHER STRIKES The classic stories that defined the Punisher! When the mob killed his family, Frank Castle went to war. But before he became the scourge of the underworld, the Punisher set his sights on a certain world-famous wall-crawler — on behalf of the maniacal Jackal! Witness Frank’s earliest encounters with Spider-Man — during which Tarantula, Nightcrawler, the Hitman, Cloak & Dagger and the Kingpin of Crime all find themselves in the line of fire! For the Punisher, Captain America’s shield is target practice — but when Frank meets Daredevil, vigilante ideologies clash and a rivalry for the ages begins! Plus: In his earliest solo tales, Frank’s relentless war on crime begins in earnest COLLECTING: Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #129, 134-135, 161-162, 174-175, 201-202; Amazing Spider-Man Annual (1964) #15; Giant-Size Spider-Man (1974) #4; Captain America (1968) #241; Daredevil (1964) #183-184; Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #81-83; material from Marvel Preview (1975) #2, Marvel Super Action (1976) #1 Written by: Gerry Conway, Marv Wolfman, Dennis O’Neill, Mike Barr, Roger McKenzie, Frank Miller, Bill Mantlo & Archie Goodwin Penciled by: Ross Andru, Keith Pollard, Frank Miller, Frank Springer, Al Milgrom, Greg LaRocque & Tony DeZuniga $54.99 488 pages Sale Date: March 2, 2027 — MORE — Dig This 2027 MARVEL EPIC COLLECTION Update.
