In this week's new Marvel Comics, Kate Pryde steps up and takes charge!
Kate Pryde leads a team of all-new X-Men in EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN (2024) #1 by Eve Ewing and Carmen Carnero! After the fall of Krakoa, Kate Pryde is trying to get as far away from all things X as she possibly can. She's just a regular-degular bartender now. Definitely not getting ready to head up an all-new team of wayward young mutants while avoiding the watchful gaze of Emma Frost. Nothing in this title but work, dating and staving off depression. That's it. No never-before-seen Exceptional X-Men to see here!
Meet Kate Pryde's new class starting in EXCEPTIONAL X-MEN (2024) #1, on sale this Wednesday, September 4!
The VENOM WAR rages on in VENOM WAR (2024) #2 by Al Ewing, Iban Coello, and Carlos Nieto, where Eddie and Dylan Brock—father and son—engage in a bloodthirsty battle to determine the one true Venom! But there's one more contender entering the ring: the Amazing Spider-Man! And the vengeful Meridius begins his endgame, unleashing mindless half-zombie, half-symbiote zombiotes upon New York City and threatening to transform heroes, villains and innocents into his bloodthirsty servants!
Meanwhile, Peter Parker is back in black over in Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Greg Land's VENOM WAR: SPIDER-MAN (2024) #2! Eddie and Dylan Brock battle over the symbiote—but Venom has already chosen: his first host—Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man! But this time, Pete and the symbiote are working together. And with Mary Jane, AKA Jackpot, on his side, Spidey might be the one true victor in the VENOM WAR!
Elsewhere, INFINITY WATCH continues in MOON KNIGHT ANNUAL (2024) #1 by Derek Landy, Dan Watters, Valentina Pinti, and Marco Renna. Newly bonded to an Infinity Stone and with Star hot on her tail, Colleen Wing is quite literally fighting for her life! Will a run-in with Moon Knight help turn the tide in her favor, or will Colleen's lack of control over her new powers create another enemy for herself? Strap in, True Believers—things are about to get rocky!
Then, a new zombie virus is unleashed… and Groot is patient zero in Thomas Krajewski and Jason Muhr's MARVEL ZOMBIES: DAWN OF DECAY (2024) #1! Groot feels bad—not only because Rocket's latest scheme put them firmly in the crosshairs of the Avengers, but also he's just plain sick! Sap-dripping nose and all. Things go from bad to apocalyptic, however, after an ill-timed sneeze in Captain America's face has unforeseeable consequences! Suddenly, Groot is being attacked by a horde of zombified Avengers, and only he and Hulk, with his impenetrable green skin, remain impervious. Now it's up to these two heroes to team up and fight their way through a blighted New York City to Banner's lab in Avengers Tower to find a cure before it's too late. But can Groot keep the hero in check and on track, or will Hulk unleash his deadly might on the zombies they once called friends?
Over in the new Ultimate Universe, the fate of the Ultimate Fantastic Four comes to light for ULTIMATES (2024) #4 by Deniz Camp and Phil Noto! Doom's years of torture at the hands of the Maker finally catch up to him in this secret history of the real Reed Richards! And tensions rise among the Ultimates when Doom might be more fixated on re-creating the life he should have had than the life he's got…
