Marvel plans to release new comics on May 27

While DC teamed with two new distributors to get their comics back into stores as fast as possible, Marvel has taken a more conservative approach during the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent shutdown of Diamond Comics Distributor. This week the company announced that it will begin releasing new comics again starting May 27, with five single issues, a week after Diamond plans to restore distribution.

As they previously announced, Marvel will release a slow trickle of comics into stores, alternating the first few weeks between single issues and collections. Here’s what their release schedule will look like through July 8:

Marvel’s Empyre crossover series, originally scheduled to start in April, will instead begin in June. Marvel’s other spring crossover, Outlawed, continues in Miles Morales #17, but other planned issues, including the new Power Pack, Champions and New Warriors tie-in series, aren’t on the schedule yet. Other titles notably missing include the new Spider-Woman title — the best-selling direct market comic of March 2020 — as well as issues of Fantastic Four, Runaways, Wolverine and Captain America.
