BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
November will be a packed month for Marvel’s comics lineup. Absolute Carnage winds down and there are a few interesting #1’s.
The end and a few beginnings
Yes, it’s going to be an interesting penultimate month to 2019 for Marvel fans. Absolute Carnage will see its final issue, and the new Scream standalone series will kick off. But there’s more than symbiotic mayhem on tap.
Marvel’s rejuvenated mutant series’ will also be seeing its biggest month so far. Second issues of Marauders, Excalibur, and X-Men will all arrive. That’s not all though, as New Mutants, X-Force, and Fallen Angels will get both first and second installments.
There are a few odd-books out though, also getting inaugural editions. Those include Deadpool, which I personally don’t consider a part of the X revival, and a bit of a shock with Morbius.
