The month of June marks the rising heat of summer in the northern hemisphere, and at Marvel Comics, June also brings the start of summer blockbuster comic book event season. Now, with the release of Marvel's full June 2022 solicitations, we've got an even more in-depth look at some of the big things planned as events like AXE: Judgment Day and the next annual Hellfire Gala, where a new member will be elected to the X-Men.
Speaking of AXE, Marvel has already been offering up some glimpses at X-Men and Avengers titles tying into the event, which puts mutants in the sights of the Eternals who wish to wipe them out, believing mutantkind to be an offshoot of their enemies the Deviants - with the Avengers caught in the middle of the conflict, thanks in part to their headquarters inside a Celestial husk.
And, going back to the X-Men and the aforementioned Hellfire Gala with its accompanying fan vote, Marvel has been signaling even bigger ramifications from the 2022 round of the big mutant party than just a new member of the X-Men. Last year, the inaugural Hellfire Gala led to Mars being terraformed into Planet Arakko, so there's more than enough precedent for the Gala to lead to major new stories and status quos.
But that's just scratching the surface of what Marvel has planned, so check out all the June 2022 solicits and covers, and as always, you can also check out the Marvel Comics March 2022 solicitations, the Marvel Comics April 2022 solicitations, and the Marvel Comics May 2022 solicitations or check out all of Marvel and DC's recent listings here on our solicitations tab.
