Let’s take a look at what these Marvel graphic novels have to offer!

Marvel has just announced the May releases for their comic books, spanning different brands it shares with Disney. There’s a new Spider-Verse graphic novel that features dinosaur versions of Spider-Man and Venom on the cover. Two Star Wars comics focus on Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker separately.
It’s an exciting time to be a Marvel fan. We’re going to give you the exact details of the May Marvel comics as presented on the site.

But like any good Tony Stark invention, the Extremis coursing through Cletus’ symbiotic veins needs POWER, and that means Cletus is HUNGRY. Good thing Brooklyn’s very own SPIDER-MAN is there to stand in his way! If he survives their first encounter, that is.
