Marvel Comics September 2021 Collection Solicitations

Marvel’s August 2021 solicitations are out and we’re here to look at the collected editions. This is a lengthy list with lots of great stuff so let’s get right into it!

This month has plenty of content from all sides of Marvel Comics. There are several new Omnibus Editions on the way, with the Doctor Strange By Aaron & Bachalo Omnibus standing out as particularly interesting to me. It also looks like we’ll be getting several new deluxe editions, as Thor By Jason Aaron Vol. 5, Black Panther Vol. 4, Hellions By Zeb Wells Vol. 1, and Wolverine By Benjamin Percy Vol. 1 all appear to be deluxe hardcovers. As always, there are also a ton of paperbacks collecting recently published comics, like the Reign of X event. In addition to all of this, there are a few really interesting collection reprints on the way, like Hawkeye by Fraction & Aja: The Saga of Barton and Bishop, an amazing time in Hawkeye’s history and a fantastic series overall. Altogether, this makes for a lot of exciting material coming up!
