March 4 Marvel Comics: Moonstar Debuts and Death Spiral Shocks

This week's Marvel releases debut Moonstar #1 by Ashley Allen, deliver a Mary Jane Watson bombshell in Amazing Spider-Man #23, end Jed MacKay's Avengers run, and launch Star Wars: Shadow of Maul ahead of the Disney+ series.

This week's new Marvel Comics lineup sends Dani Moonstar after a soul-sucking weapon, continues the Death Spiral Spider-Man/Venom crossover, and launches a brand-new Star Wars prequel tied to the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord series on Disney+.

Moonstar Hunts a Deadly Weapon

When an ancient, soul-sucking weapon is set loose, it is up to Dani Moonstar to track it down in MOONSTAR (2026) #1 by Ashley Allen and Edoardo Audino. But the weapon's deadly wielder will not make it easy. After recent tragedies, can Dani trust herself to save those closest to her—or will her self-doubts lead to even more bloodshed? The new series kicks off Wednesday, March 4.

Death Spiral Delivers a Shocking Venom Twist

DEATH SPIRAL continues in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (2025) #23 by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness. Carnage knows, which means Spidey and Venom team up again to stop the serial killer symbiote. But instead of Eddie Brock, Peter uncovers another bombshell beneath Venom's mask—Mary Jane Watson. That is just the first shocking revelation of this issue as Peter and MJ patch things up to stop the hyper-lethal new villain Torment's killing spree.

Then, Jed MacKay brings his run to a shocking end with Farid Karami in AVENGERS (2023) #36. Three years of dark mysteries, epic quests, and cosmos-shattering battles come to a head in this giant-sized finale that will redefine the Avengers' future.

Iceman's Omega Potential and a New Star Wars Prequel

Revisit Bobby Drake's attempts to reach his true Omega potential in ICEMAN: OMEGA (2026) #1 by Luciano Vecchio. From coming out to helping terraform the planet of Mars, Bobby has had a big year—this beloved four-part Infinity Comic arrives in print for the first time.

Additionally, check out a pulpy prequel series set before the events of Disney+'s upcoming Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord show with Benjamin Percy and Madibek Musabekov's STAR WARS: SHADOW OF MAUL (2026) #1. Welcome to Janix, a neon-lit, shadow-soaked maze of a planet beyond the reach of the Empire, where Captain Brander Lawson and his droid partner Two Boots face off against scheming crime bosses as the threat of Maul nears.
