Top 14 Guaranteed Picks
Before we get to all of November 2022’s new beginnings there’s the finale for the Avengers / X-Men / Eternals event that lands with AXE: Judgment Day Omega #1.
While November 2022 will see the launch of a new ongoing series for Deadpool and a new Invincible Iron Man ongoing series springing from Iron Man #650 it’s the kick-off of a new ongoing Fantastic Four series that I’ll be picking up with its shiny new Fantastic Four #1.
We also will see the Avengers capstone event for writer Jason Aaron bringing together the Avengers 1,000,000 B.C., the Avengers and the multiversal Avengers Forever in an Avengers Assemble event with Avengers Assemble Alpha #1 (one-shot).
Plus issues of Aaron’s two ongoing Avengers series.
- Avengers #62
- Avengers Forever #11
Another much hyped event begins in November 2022 not with any Alpha issues (yet?) with Prelude issues for Dark Web that has Ben Reilly, now known as Chasm, and the X-Men’s Madelyne Pryor, still known as the Goblin Queen, being joined by a new villain, to ensnare the Spider-Man, Venom and X-Men corners of Marvel kicking off with Amazing Spider-Man #14.
So, that’s six titles from spotlighted initiatives, but there’s more picks below.

Top 16 Honorable Mentions AKA Possible Picks
Among the Avengers titles in November, including the kick-off to the Avengers Assemble event, I am intrigued by Savage Avengers #7 and its new member Punisher 2099 with the team battling the threat of Ultron 2099.
Also, while I am intrigued for the Dark Web event, I’m not as sure about the non Amazing Spider-Man offerings, but may pick up Venom #13 which also serves as a Dark Web Prelude issue.
There’s also Norman Osborn abandoning his Green Goblin persona in November 2022 for a new identity kicking off a five-issue mini-series with Gold Goblin #1 that presumably has ties to Dark Web due to his role in the ongoing ASM as a mentor to his former arch enemy Spider-Man!
So, that’s three titles from spotlighted initiatives, but there’s more picks below.
