Continuing recent trends, the May solicits didn't have a lot outside Marvel that did much for me. And Marvel's too busy with some vampire-themed crossover to release anything new I give a crap about. With the cost of things going up, maybe it's in my wallet's best interests.
What's coming out that's new? Aaron Wroblewski and Ezequiel Rubio Lancho have Blood and Fire coming out through Red 5, about the civil war in 16th century Japan that signaled the rise of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The solicit doesn't give any sense of what approach they're going to take to that event, beyond that it will be violent, but it might be worth a look. At least worth checking subsequent solicits for further information.
Sticking with civil wars, Dark Horse has the tpb of Yellow, by Jay Martin, about a soldier trying to escape a second American civil war, and the decisions he makes along the way.
Yen Press has Penguin Highway by Tomihiko Morimi and Keito Yano, about some kids trying to solve the mystery of why a bunch of penguins showed up in their town, and where they vanished to. That's just random enough to be interesting!
What's ending in May? Night Thrasher and Power Pack: Into the Storm will both be wrapping up.
And, what's left? Marvel's got three mini-series at issue 3: Black Widow and Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel: Mutant Menace, and Jackpot and Black Cat. Fantastic Four will focus on Ben and Johnny working at the same part-time job, Vengeance of the Moon Knight has the Shroud, I mean Moon Knight still targeting the previous Moon Knight's supporting cast. I thought he said he'd leave them be in issue 2, but I guess he called that off after they went after him. And in Deadpool, Wade decides to have Taskmaster run a boutique mercenary agency(?) for him.
Boom! has issue 2 of Blow Away, and Mad Cave has the second issue of Morning Star, and one of the kids has gone missing in the woods. It's fine; let it be a learning experience for the little rugrat. Nature is great for that! Scout also has issue 3 of Rogues. At least they didn't solicit another issue of A Haunting on Mars. We should be up to issue 3 now, but there's not been a sign of issue 2 yet.
And on the manga front, Zom 100 volume 14 ensures I fall ever further behind on that book, while Seven Seas solicited volume 10 of Precarious Woman Executive Miss Black General, but it doesn't actually come out until August.
