JUSTICE LEAGUE RED VERSUS RED TORNADO! Right or wrong, Black Adam has convinced the team the call is coming from inside the house, and they’ve returned to the Red Tower prepared to face Red Tornado. But are they ready to face his horrifying final form? And what transformation might this explosive confrontation provoke in Green Lantern, Power Girl, Cyborg, Red Canary, or Deadman?
Alien: King Killer, a new chapter in Marvel’s acclaimed Alien comic book storytelling begins this April, and it promises to deliver the darkest era of the Alien universe yet. The five-issue limited series by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Carlos Nieto will take place on a planet that’s already succumbed to Xenomorphs, a horrifying victory that pushes humanity to its limits and explores the ultimate cost of survival. Fans will also have a chance to dive deeper into the saga on Comics Giveaway Day on May 2 with a special prelude story by Ahmed and artist Emilio Laiso in Alien, Predator & Planet of the Apes #1 CGD 2026.
When humanity has already lost the war against the Xenomorphs, what remains? Set on a planet overrun by the savage alien species, the dregs of humanity cling to the protection of the mysterious siblings known as the Three Kings. But these warlords have a fourth sibling who is out for revenge– and the humans’ remaining protectors are harboring secrets deadlier than the aliens outside their gates.

WOLVERINE ENCOUNTERS SILVER SABLE! Wolverine crosses paths with Silver Sable in a mission to save a cadre of Morlocks. But are they on the same side? And who’s got Logan in their sights? Wolverine #14 kicks off a new story arc that is a nice return and feels a little retro at the same time.
Written by Saladin Ahmed, Wolverine #14 has the character stumbling upon a new adventure that involves him protecting a new mutant community and teaming up with Silver Sable to do so. The how of it all is rather convoluted but the issue itself is fun and interesting and sets things up well for what’s to come.
Wolverine #14 is interesting as it reminds me of what one could expect when the series initially launched so many decades ago. It’s Wolverine doing what he does best and coming across a new adventure as opposed to some planned mission. While it’s been many years since I read those comics, it feels like a similar vibe to what I remembered. They saw Wolverine in some location and then trouble rises and he has to deal with it.
But, Wolverine #14 also teases a possible intriguing return of a superhero group that feels like it’s been dipping its toes back in the water in recent years. Here’s hoping this is the start of something bigger for them, but we’ll see where this goes first.
The negative of the issue is that the meeting between Silver Sable and Wolverine doesn’t feel like to old acquaintances as much as it does two individuals with a little familiarity with each other. It feels a little cold and distant in some ways when the two meet and also a little odd following the usual two heroes fight before teaming up together.
The art by Martin Coccolo is entertaining and engaging. With color by Jesus Aburtov and lettering by Cory Petit, the art isn’t flashy but it’s just good. The opening delivers a bit of emotion and calm. The walk of Wolverine to get gas builds up some tension. His encounters from there mixes some horror, solid action, and a little wtf… and don’t forget the humor of a drunk Wolverine.
Wolverine #14 is a good start, though feels a bit more like an arc in-between major arcs. It has potential as entertaining and there’s some elements that could play out nicely. While it’s not a flashy return of the series, it is a fun one.
