3. Marvel's Snapshots: X-Men #1 by Jay Ediden and Tom Reilly
The Marvels Snapshot tour through Marvel history continues, showcasing Marvel's greatest characters through the eyes of ordinary people! Or does it? In this case, the "ordinary person" is teenaged Scott Summers, witnessing the dawn of the Marvel Age from a Nebraska orphanage and wondering what his place in it might be. What was it like to experience the debut of the FF, the Hulk, Iron Man and more? To wish you could be a part of it all? Writer Jay Edidin (Thor: Metal Gods, Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men) makes his Marvel comics debut, teamed with Tom Reilly (Immortal Hulk), to tell a story of upheaval and decision that would shape the X-Men (and the Marvel Universe) forever after.
Average Critic Rating: 9/10
"When all is said and done, Marvels Snapshots: X-Men #1 delivers an emotional look at the beginning of one of Marvel's iconic characters. We get to see the boy who would become Cyclops discover those aspects of himself that will guide him, and others, to become heroes." - But Why Though
"This issue was like a breath of fresh air to me. A top-notch story that by the end of the issue had me changing my opinion in a big way about Cyclops. Another rarity is an oversized issue that in this reviewer's opinion is well worth the extra dollar!" - Weird Science

Average Critic Rating: 9.1/10
"Soule is writing something special here, as he did with 2017's Darth Vader series. Add that to the amazing art from Jesus Saiz, Arif Prianto, and Clayton Sowles, and this is the best Star Wars comic this year, in my opinion." - Comics: The Gathering
1.Immortal Hulk #37 by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett When Bruce Banner first came to Shadow Base, he was cut up into pieces and stored in jars. Now Shadow Base is under his control. But Bruce Banner was only the second test subject. Now...THE FIRST is free.
