May is quickly shaping up to be one of the biggest months for new comic book releases in a long time. Marvel alone is going all-out this month, kicking off the massive Blood Hunt crossover and celebrating the milestone 50th issue of The Amazing Spider-Man with the return of Spidey's greatest nemesis. Elsewhere, DC has big stories planned for two of Batman's most important sidekicks, while Image is launching several promising new projects like The Whisper Queen and Grommets.

Read on to see all the biggest comics of May 2024, and be sure to let us know in the comments what you'll be reading this month.

Blood Hunt

Creative Team: Jed MacKay & Pepe Larraz

Publisher: Marvel

Release Date: May 1

As is tradition for Marvel, the first week of May brings with it the start of a major summer crossover event. Blood Hunt pits the Avengers and other assorted heroes against a resurgent vampire nation. For the first time, the many vampire tribes of the Marvel Universe are united under a common cause, and that's bad news for the human world. Expect some major heroes to be turned to the undead as this massive war unfolds.

Blood Hunt will unfold in the pages of the core miniseries by Jed MacKay and Pepe Larraz, but expect a lot of tie-ins to accompany that book. Most of Marvel's Avengers and Spider-Man-adjacent books will tie into the event, and several new limited series will also launch aside the main book.

Get Fury #1

Creative Team: Garth Ennis & Jacen Burrows

Publisher: Marvel

Release Date: May 1

Garth Ennis doesn't often write for the Big Two publishers, but we're always excited when he does. That's especially true whenever Ennis delves into the grim and gritty world of Marvel's MAX imprint. Get Fury brings together Nick Fury and Frank Castle, arguably the two characters on which Ennis has left his greatest mark. In this Vietnam War-era story, Fury is captured by the enemy, leaving the military to dispatch Frank to bring him back by any means necessary. We're getting strong Apocalypse Now vibes from this book, which can only be a good thing.

The Whisper Queen #1

Creative Team: Chip Zdarsky & Kris Anka

Publisher: Image

Release Date: May 1

It's hard to go wrong with a creative pairing like writer Chip Zdarsky and artist Kris Anka, and we're big fans of their work on The White Trees. At long last, the two are reuniting for a new story set in the Blacksand fantasy universe. In The Whisper Queen, a former assassin named Javro must hunt down the king's killers before her son is murdered by a ghostly threat known as the Dark Whisper.

The Boy Wonder #1

Creative Team: Juni Ba

Publisher: DC

Release Date: May 7

DC's newest Black Label series comes from Monkey Meat creator Juni Ba. The Boy Wonder aims to present a fresh spin on the origin of Batman's son, Damian Wayne, and his rise as Robin. In this limited series, Damian is forced to confront the realization that he isn't Batman's first Robin and embrace the idea that he's part of a legacy bigger than himself. It sounds like a great primer for the character, and a worthwhile read for anyone who simply craves more of Damian's crimefighting adventures.

Doom #1

Creative Team: Sanford Greene & Jonathan Hickman

Publisher: Marvel

Release Date: May 15

Jonathan Hickman's latest Marvel epic is quite the deviation from books House of X and G.O.D.S. In Doom #1, Hickman teams with Bitter Root's Sanford Greene for a very different take on the Fantastic Four's most iconic foe. This oversizedone-shot is set in the future, as Doom takes it upon himself to defend Earth from a ravenous Galactus. Can his mighty ego stand up to one of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Universe? We're about to find out.

Nightwing #114

Creative Team: Tom Taylor & Bruno Redondo

Publisher: DC

Release Date: May 21

DC just celebrated the 300th issue of Nightwing, and now they're speeding straight ahead into one of the most important chapters of Dick Grayson's costumed career. This issue kicks off "Fallen Grayson," a story arc that explores what happens when Dick loses his ability to leap. Can he still be Nightwing when his city needs him the most? This is the climax of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's excellent run, so it's definitely a bittersweet moment for fans of what has easily been one of the best superhero comics on the stands.

The Amazing Spider-Man #50

Creative Team: Zeb Wells, Marv Wolfman, Nikesh Shukla & Various Artists

Publisher: Marvel

Release Date: May 22

Thecurrent volume of The Amazing Spider-Man reaches the all-important issue #50 mark this month, and it's shaping up to be a big one. This oversized issue features several new stories, including new material from guest creators like Marv Wolfman and Terry Dodson.

But the real news is that ASM #50 features the return of the Green Goblin. For years now, Norman Osborn has tried to prove that he's reformed and can be a crucial ally to Peter Parker rather than his worst nightmare. That all seems to be at an end, as Osborn becomes consumed by his sins once again. But is this simply a return to the status quo for Osborn, or do Zeb Wells and Ed McGuinness have another big twist in store? Hopefully we'll find out in issue #50.

Blood Squad Seven #1

Creative Team: Joe Casey & Paul Fry

Publisher: Image

Release Date: May 22

Superhero deconstruction stories are nothing new in comics, but it's not often that we see them directed at the bombastic, gritty heroes of the '90s comic book explosion. That's what Joe Casey and Paul Fry aim to do with Blood Squad Seven. This new series focuses on a team of former superhero celebrities who flamed out after the '90s, leaving a new generation to try and take up the mantle in 2024. We're expecting a book that both pays loving tribute to the '90s and skewers the more over-the-top aspects of the era, and it should be loads of fun.

Grommets #1

Creative Team: Rick Remender, Brian Posehn & Brett Parson

Publisher: Image

Release Date: May 29

We're immediately on board for any new project from Rick Remender, but this one looks especially intriguing. Grommets pairs Remender with comedian Brian Posehn and Tank Girl artist Brett Parson for a limited series steeped in 1980's skateboard culture and punk rock. The series is both a throwback to that bygone era and a timeless story of two Gen-X outcasts who find a new home in this scene.

Fall of the House of X Finale

Creative Team: Various

Publisher: Marvel

Release Date: Various

We all knew the X-Men's Krakoan Age had to come to an end sooner or later, and that finale is now close at hand. May marks the end of both Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, capping off a journey that began way back in 2019's House of X and Powers of X. Will the X-Men finally triumph over Orchis? What sort of future will there be for mutantkind when all is said and done?

May also marks the end of both the current volume of Wolverine and the Immortal X-Men epilogue X-Men Forever. We'll see Logan leap into his latest and bloodiest battle with Sabretooth in Wolverine #50, while X-Men Forever #4 promises to close out with even more startling revelations about Krakoa and its survivors. All of this paves the way for Marvel's X-Men: From the Ashes relaunch in July.

Grommets #1 lands the trick and gets a second printing

Grommets #1 lands the trick and gets a second printing #comics #comicbooks

Writer Rick Remender and comedian and writer Brian Posehn alongside artistic powerhouse Brett Parson and colorist extraordinaire Moreno Dinisio have a kickflip hit on their hands with last week’s buzzy debut of Grommets #1. This seven issue miniseries from Image Comics has instantly charmed readers with its slice-of-life, coming-of-age story and is being rushed back to print this week in order to…

"attempt at appropriation" 2022, 231cm x 315cm, recycled painting, chain from can opener tabs, wooden plaques, iron wall anchor, metal grommets

This work was the first one, that I truly considered to be an appropriation. I found this big canvas behind our class Pavillon one day, it was folded up, and had lain in the elements for quite some time, since it had started to mold. I remembered the students that had painted on this canvas and since they had all graduated, I asked them whether I could use the canvas. When I got permission, I started the process of washing and scrubbing the painting, in order to appropriate it and make it my own. I started to discover different layers of paint, some more volatile than others. During this progress, the pigments that I scrubbed loose, started to dry and settle on different parts of the canvas, on other parts the manhole cover that the canvas laid on started to be visible in the paint, like some kind of frottage. Since the original painting was still somewhat visible I started to add elements that I considered to be crucial to making this my own artwork: a chain made from can-opening pull-tabs, that I had made for a different artwork the same year, two wooden plaques that I tied to the ends of the tab-chain, and a iron wall anchor, that I had found in the ground on campus, through which I pulled the tab-chain. In order to install the work, I added metal grommets all around the canvas, with which the form of the canvas could be manipulated.

My fifth and final look from my collection for school!

This design is very different from my other four because of how our classes work - basically, the first four looks are ones we design specifically for this class, while our fifth look is actually one we made from a previous class to showcase a different design style for us.

The corset self is satin (from SalTexFabrics).The corset lining and the pants are both denim (from Joann).

The corset is an overbust corset with a peephole held closed by a 2” frog closure (not pictured, I added it later), a busk front closure, and a lacing back closure. The edges are bound with satin bias tape (from PacificTrimming). The pants have a fly front zip and lace all the way down the outseams. The grommets on the pants and the corset are gold, size 0.

The fly on the pants is too short. It wasn’t an issue for the model, but it was my first time ever doing a fly zip (both drafting and sewing) and I didn’t have time to redo it. I also accidentally doubled the size of the waistband at one point and didn’t notice until after I had cut the fabric and sewn it together, and this was literally the day before our runway show so I didn’t have time to redo it, so I rocked with it. I never want to put grommets in anything ever again *shutters in 120 grommets*.

Materials for the corset cost $59.81, cost including labor was $236.85. For the pants, materials were $26.24 and total cost was $191.62. If I were to sell these, the corset would be $355.27 and the skirt would be $287.42. I love doing corsets, but after these pants I never want to do grommets again. And yes, I used a hand press, I can’t even imagine doing this with a hammer.
