Black Cat goes on the prowl in this week's Marvel Comics!
Super-thief, super... hero?! Felicia Hardy is the Black Cat, the world's slyest and most skilled super-thief! She loves a good score. The longer the odds, the better! But her entire world turned upside down after the Amazing Spider-Man's battle with Hellgate, so Felicia is turning over a new leaf as New York City's newest… super hero?!
In BLACK CAT (2025) #1, the Lizard becomes the first super villain on her list! But will the Black Cat risk it all after her do-gooding moral high ground attracts dangerous attention from the lowest of the city's underworld? Easy, Kingpin of Crime, she's still skimming off the top—honest! Superstar G. Willow Wilson joins rising star Gleb Melnikov to chart the winding road of twists and turns, laughs, and mind-bending action of Black Cat's next exciting chapter!
New York City hits the jackpot in BLACK CAT (2025) #1, on sale this Wednesday, August 20!
A brand-new day for Spider-Gwen begins in ALL-NEW SPIDER-GWEN: THE GHOST-SPIDER (2025) #1 by Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli! Gwen Stacy isn't from this Earth but she's here to stay, so it's time to make herself at home! A new costume, a new home life—heck, she's even starting a new band! Unfortunately for Gwen, new threats are also heading her way, starting with one that just might be her own fault! Follow the Ghost-Spider as she settles into Earth-616 to stay!
Elsewhere, Ryan North and Ed McGuinness' MARVEL ALL-ON-ONE (2025) #1 pits the Thing against the Marvel Universe in a 50-Page epic told entirely in splash pages! Ben Grimm, AKA The Thing: he's the ever-lovin' idol of millions and powerhouse of the Fantastic Four. He's strong, he's kind, and he never gives up. And he's also tired, and he's sore, and he's grumpy. There's always a new threat facing the world or the galaxy or the universe—and somehow, he and the rest of the Fantastic Four are always the only ones who can stop it. Ben Grimm is sick and tired of it. He just wants a break! But when he returns to Earth after a solo mission in space to discover the Fantastic Four have turned against him—along with the rest of New York City, and, apparently, the entire world—he's got a mystery to solve... and a whole wide world to clobber. Ben Grimm takes on the entire planet in this special Marvel Anniversary issue, across 50 pages of incredible nonstop action so bold, so colossal, that the only pages that aren't splash pages are double-page spreads! It's Marvel as you've always wanted to see it, at our biggest, our baddest, our most clobberingest! It's the wildest story we've ever published! It's Marvel All-on-One!
Meanwhile, BRING ON THE BAD GUYS rages on in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DORMAMMU (2025) #1 by Marc Guggenheim, Alex Paknadel, and Michael Sta. Maria! Who dares test the dread Dormammu?! BRING ON THE BAD GUYS takes a mind-bending turn as Dormammu is drawn into a battle across generations! The arcane horrors of the Dark Dimension come to vivid life as you've never seen them before! But what could possibly move Dormammu to help anyone seeking his aid? Part six of seven villainous one-shots!
Across the cosmos, IMPERIAL continues in Jonathan Hickman, Iban Coello, and Federico Vicentini's IMPERIAL (2025) #3, where the conflict begins to spread out to the wider universe! We find out who's really orchestrating the great game of cosmic houses as the last chance to stop a universal war presents itself. Will our heroes be able to stop it in time?
Then, IMPERIAL WAR: BLACK PANTHER (2025) #1 by Jonathan Hickman, Victor LaValle, and Francesco Mortarino spins straight out of the pages of IMPERIAL! Blamed for the assassinations that have started an all-out galactic war, T'Challa will first need to survive a brutal assault from the World-Breaker Hulk and Amadeus Cho before he can even think about hunting down the true culprit! And all while his spacecraft spirals towards certain doom! Sounds like another day at the office for the Black Panther!
Additionally, VENOM: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD (2025) #1 features a collection of Venom stories from across the history of the symbiote, all rendered in Venom's own black and white (and red)! David Michelinie and Jonas Scharf take us to the jungle, as Venom stalks a vicious paramilitary science outfit bent on weaponizing Brock's symbiote! In the aftermath of MAXIMUM CARNAGE, J.M. DeMatteis and Dave Wachter pit Eddie Brock against a family matter—and a dark truth—in "Fathers & Sons!" Ryan North and Creees Lee put the lethal in lethal protector as Venom helps a kid… get revenge!
