Every New Marvel Comic Arriving April 15: Ultimate Wolverine Finale, Venom, X-Men, and More

This week's Marvel Comics lineup features the final issue of Ultimate Wolverine as Logan and Phoenix make their last stand against Magik in Limbo, the Death Spiral arc rages on in Venom #257 with Flash Thompson joining the fight, and Jessica Jones teams up with Typhoid Mary in Alias: Red Band #2. Plus new issues of X-Men United, Imperial Guardians, and fresh additions to Marvel Unlimited.

The second week of April brings a stacked slate of Marvel Comics releases, headlined by the epic conclusion of Ultimate Wolverine and a pivotal chapter of the Death Spiral storyline in Venom. Whether you're following the Ultimate Universe's march toward endgame or diving into gritty street-level detective work with Jessica Jones, April 15 has something for every Marvel reader.

Ultimate Wolverine #16: The Final Stand in Limbo

Year two of the Ultimate Universe nears its dramatic conclusion with the final issue of Ultimate Wolverine. In issue #16, written by Christopher Condon with art by Alessandro Cappuccio, Wolverine and Phoenix track Magik into the demonic dimension of Limbo for a devastating showdown. To escape Illyana Rasputin's realm of dark magic, a final sacrifice must be made — one that leads directly into Ultimate Endgame #5. If you've been following the Ultimate line, this is a can't-miss issue that sets the stage for everything to come.

Venom #257: Death Spiral Intensifies

The Death Spiral arc continues to escalate in Venom #257 by Charles Soule and Javier Pina. Anna Watson and May Parker are caught in the Death Spiral, and their unlikely rescuer is Flash Thompson. The stakes couldn't be higher as Spider-Man and Venom race to save the day — but old wounds between MJ and Peter threaten to create a new tragedy. And then there's the question of where Carnage fits into all of this. Even when you find out, Marvel promises you won't believe it.

Alias: Red Band #2 and More Highlights

Jessica Jones reluctantly partners with Typhoid Mary to investigate a string of grisly murders in Hell's Kitchen in Alias: Red Band #2, written by Sam Humphries with art by Geraldo Borges. An interrogation leads the pair to a hidden third culprit pulling the strings — but can Jess and Mary set aside their differences before they become the next targets?

Over at Graymatter Lane, mutantkind's newest school is already in crisis in X-Men United #2 by Eve L. Ewing and Tiago Palma. The first students have barely arrived and things are going down in flames, while an elite team of mutants embarks on a time-travel mission alongside Captain America.

In the cosmic corner of Marvel, Imperial Guardians #2 by Dan Abnett and Marcelo Ferreira sends Maximus of the Inhumans and his black-ops team to Xarth, where a minor civilization has acquired something that could either elevate them overnight or tear the Galactic Union apart entirely.

What This Means for Marvel Fans

This is a particularly significant week for anyone invested in the Ultimate Universe saga — the final issue of Ultimate Wolverine represents a major chapter closing as the line barrels toward its endgame event. Meanwhile, the Venom and Alias titles continue to deliver some of Marvel's best street-level storytelling. Pick up these titles at your local comic shop starting Wednesday, April 15, or read digitally through the Marvel Unlimited app, which also adds 15 back-catalog titles this week including issues of Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men, and the debut of Marvel Rivals: The Cities of Heaven.
