I admittedly don’t read much Marvel monthly, but recently the books I do read and enjoy have been stealth cancelled:
- Squadron Supreme – Ended with January 22’s Squadron Supreme #15.
- Thunderbolts – Seemingly ends with April 26’s Thunderbolts #12.
- Prowler – Seemingly ends with March 22’s Prowler #6.
With that sad news, I still tried to find 5 books from mighty Marvel’s May 2017 comic book solicitations. While three issues of Secret Empire is intriguing (spoilers here), its the five below books that speak to me. Except for the first one below, the remaining four are likely on my must-buy pile.
