Yep, definitely not enjoying this more diffuse world. DC solicits over here, Image over there, Mad Cave someplace on their website. Where is the mandatory monopoly that will make my life easier?!
Anyway, June solicits were not great. Looks like Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave does end at 4 issues, so it would be done in May (if I'm still buying it.) I couldn't find a sign of any Dust to Dust issues coming out after April's issue 5 on Image's site, so maybe it's on a break? I didn't see Metamorpho in DC's listings, or Bronze Faces among Boom!'s stuff, either.
What's new? There was one website that had a listing for an entire It's Jeff! mini-series, but not by Kelly Thompson and Guruhiru, and based off Marvel Rivals? Is that a card battle thing? Anyway, it described Jeff as a 'fish-boy' - he's a landshark! - and promised he'd have a few new tricks and yeah, I don't think I'm trusting that. Rainbow Rowell and Elena Casagrande are releasing a Runaways mini-series that picks up somewhere after Rowell's run ended. It would be nice to see the threads that were left dangling picked up, but it's also tying into One World Under Doom, so that could be dodgy.
Other than that, Cosmic Lion had an anthology collection of weird super-spy stuff called G.H.O.S.T. Agents - Crimson Apocalypse. I don't recognize any of the creators that were listed, but that doesn't mean anything. Lots of creators I've never heard of.
What's ending? As mentioned, Mine is a Long, Lonesome Grave would end a month before this, while The Surgeon, which solicited its final issue for May, will actually probably end in June. And Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt solicited its final issue in this month's stuff, but won't actually ship until July. Red Before Black is also supposed to end in June, but we'll see.
Also, Fantastic Four is apparently ending in June, so it can relaunch with a new first issue in July (creative team TBA.) I was very confused as to why you'd do that in the middle of a Line-wide Event that centers on the FF's #1 foe, until I remembered the movie coming out this summer. Probably a bad sign that entirely slipped my mind, yeah?
And the rest: Deadpool is celebrating its 350th issue, which means they padded it out with stories from past creators and charge $8. So I won't be getting that until a few months later, if at all (I never did get that oversized 25th issue of Moon Knight.) Speaking of Moon Knight, we've got Fist of Khonshu, and that book will be celebrating Moonie's 250th issue in July. Which doesn't seem right, but I guess if they're counting the Annual we looked at for Sunday Splash page two weekends ago, it's consistent with where they marked it when MacKay's run started.
Marvel re-solicited the second issue of The Thing mini-series that was originally supposed to come out in April, so recycle my comment about the ludicrousness of Bullseye trying to tangle with Ben Grimm.
At DC, Batgirl is delving into Shiva's backstory, which is not something I'm sure I care about, and Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma will be at the halfway mark. On the manga front, Ize Press has volume 11 of The Boxer (still delving into Yu's backstory), and Seven Seas has volume 9 of No Longer Allowed in Another World, and it sure sounds like that's nearing a conclusion as well.
I didn't actually find them on the company's website, but I'm assuming Dark Pyramid 4 and Past Time 3 will both be out in June as well. Fingers crossed, because otherwise, this isn't looking like a great month, to say nothing of the months to follow, with so many things wrapping up.
