Variant of the Week

In a week chock-full of excellent variant covers including a very cool Moon Knight #10 variant that shows the superpowered vigilante in his crescent white glory; we can’t help but love this Skottie Young variant of the brand new Marauders series.
The minimalistic cartoonish style, along with the creativity in the various models, makes this our choice for a variant of the week; as it stands among the most interesting of this new wave of releases.
What to Read on Marvel Unlimited
Timeless #1

It is a great week for Marvel Unlimited users, as the second issue of Devils Reign and the fourth installment of the Death of Doctor Strange run both debuting; but our choice for what to read goes to Timeless by writer Jed Mackay, and artists Kev Walker, Greg Land, and Marc Bagley.
Kang the Conqueror is slated to be a massive part of the MCU’s Phase Five, and what better way to get to know the time-traveling mogul than in this series that brings the conqueror up against time itself.
Trade Paperback of the Week
X-Men Epic Collection: Bishop’s Crossing

With no new trade paperback collections arriving this week in comics, collectors, we look at last week’s released paperbacks to highlight this fantastic entry into Jim Lee’s legacy of writing the X-Men.
Collecting various Uncanny X-Men issues from throughout the 1980s, this collection chronicles the arrival of the iconic mutant Bishop and the splitting up of two X-Men teams.
There you have it, COLLECTORS, everything arriving This Week in Comics for the week of April 4th; Happy Hunting!
