If there were ever a time to rally the troops and take the fight to the enemy, it\u2019s NOW! Stand side by side with the X-Men as they head for their final stand! They can\u2019t stop ALL of us! What we think: Fall of X has been a roller coaster ride for longtime X-Men fans, but we\u2019re very much at the apex of the ride. With Moira X\u2019s plans evolving and Xavier seemingly snapping and killing Rachel Summers last week, expect the ride to get even crazier in the lead-up to the violent finale and the upcoming reboot story, From The Ashes. The Immortal Thor #9 What it\u2019s about: THE ENCHANTRESS OF WORLDS! The Son of Odin came to the citadel of Roxxon \u2014 to make war for the sake of the Earth herself. But his enemies were waiting to steal from him the one thing that was Thor\u2019s alone\u2026 and they had crafted the foulest of weapons to do it. This is the story of THE IMMORTAL THOR\u2026 and of the trap he could not escape. What we think: Immortal Thor hasn\u2019t received the same kind of perpetual buzz as Ewing\u2019s previous Immortal Hulk, which is a shame. The exploration of Thor\u2019s mythology and Loki\u2019s relationship to the Asgardians has been incredible. This month, we finally see what the deal is with The Roxxin\u2019 Thor, which looks to be a darkly tongue-in-cheek meta-commentary about the industry. Batman #146 What it\u2019s about: ZUR\u2019S PLANS REVEALED, \u201cDARK PRISONS\u201d BY CHIP ZDARSKY AND JORGE JIM\u00c9NEZ CONTINUES! The explosive \u201cDark Prisons\u201d continues as Batman learns from an old mentor what Zur\u2019s plans are for Gotham City\u2026 and the world! Can the Dark Knight escape from a prison designed by the ultimate version of himself? And what nefarious role does The Joker play in all of this? What we think: Zdarsky\u2019s Batman run has been pretty divisive, but you can\u2019t deny he\u2019s doing a lot of interesting things with the Batman chessboard. Bruce is trapped in a prison that may as well have been his own design, while Zur uses Failsafe\u2019s body to deceive the Bat-family. We already know Zur is going to be a major player in this summer\u2019s Absolute Power, so look for Dark Prisons to start setting up that event soon. Deadpool #1 What it\u2019s about: A NEW ERA FOR THE MERC WITH A MOUTH, AND A GUN, AND A SWORD\u2026 Cody Ziglar (MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN) has a wild ride planned for the Merc with the mouth! Introducing a terrifying new villain who won\u2019t stop until he catches Wade in his DEATH GRIP. But all work and no play makes Deadpool a very dead boy! What we think: It feels like it\u2019s been a while since we last saw the Merc With a Mouth. Deadpool has been fairly quiet since his last ongoing ended in 2023, last seen helping Captain America and Rogue in the pages of Uncanny Avengers. Now, he\u2019s back with a new ongoing and the current Deadpool\/Wolverine: World War III event. With a new movie coming up, look for the synergy machine to go into full swing as Deadpool starts to turn up everywhere again. Doctor Strange #14 What it\u2019s about: A living game has taken root in Manhattan, transforming parts of the city into a dark fantasy world. Doctor Strange and his Secret Defenders have managed to insert themselves into the narrative, but they\u2019re not alone\u2026 Can Strange and company learn the rules and rescue those trapped within, or is it back to the Dark Ages for the Big Apple? What we think: The Doctor Strange ongoing does feel like it\u2019s in something of a holding pattern right now as it waits for Blood Hunt to start, but taking a sidestep to do a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired tale is pretty incredible. Plus, it\u2019s always fun to find a new take on the Defenders. Spider-Man: Shadow of the Green Goblin #1 What it\u2019s about: NORMAN OSBORN WAS NOT THE FIRST GOBLIN! Norman Osborn is the GREEN GOBLIN you know. But he is NOT the ORIGINAL GOBLIN! Learn the shocking secrets of the PROTO-GOBLIN, and its dramatic connection to the Osborn family! What role does a young Peter Parker, who has not yet understood his great power and responsibility, play in this unfolding of events? J.M. DeMatteis (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) continues to build his legacy and the mythos of classic SPIDER-LORE, this time paired with rising star MICHAEL STA. MARIA! What we think: The returning all-time great J.J. DeMatteis alone is enough to pique our interest, but Shadow of the Green Goblin looks like it\u2019s more than just a throwaway mini-series. Web of Spider-Man teased a Norman who is slowly reaching his breaking point. Will the endgame of Shadow of the Green Goblin be an explanation for how Norman relapses into madness again?
