Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Men and all of Marvel's April 2024 solicitations revealed
It's a little bit later in the month than usual, but Marvel Comics has finally dropped its full April 2024 solicitations, including several big new debuts, and the launch of the much-hyped Blood Hunt event.
Blood Hunt is a unique Marvel Comics event in that the publisher is releasing two separate editions of the comic; one regular edition and one 'Red Band' edition with extra blood and guts and more pages.
Seeing as how Blood Hunt is a story about the Avengers, Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, Blade, and more taking on a global threat from vampires, it seems the Red Band edition will likely make good use of that extra space and more mature rating. Blood Hunt #1 technically comes out May 1, but it's included right here in Marvel's April solicits.
April also brings a big milestone for Daredevil, who will celebrate 60 years since his 1964 debut. In recognition, April's Daredevil #8 will be oversized, clocking in at 88 pages.
Meanwhile, a new Thor will debut in Roxxon Presents: Thor #1, which features the story of a new Thor who is owned entirely by the Roxxon Corporation, which purchased the rights to the in-universe version of Marvel Comics under the command of the villain Dario Agger.
But that's just scratching the surface of another packed month of releases. Read on for a closer look at some of the biggest highlights from Marvel's April 2024 solicitations followed by all of the comics and trades.

The big news from Marvel this month is Blood Hunt, the publisher's gore-soaked vampire crossover, which writer Jed MacKay described to us this week as the "bloodiest event in Marvel Comics history." I love a vampire story, so I'm personally stoked - or should that be staked? - for this one, even if it is a bit odd seeing it in April not October!
