Ghosts and other continuations

The new IRON MAN #4 has Tony Stark and the other surviving captive geniuses escaping from Madame Masque and AIM, only to be faced with Fixer in his Advanced Iron Man armour.

T Vernon continues with the 2nd part of the Iron Man/Spider-Man/Jean DeWolff/Wraith tale in MARVEL TEAM-UP #49 wherein Wraith plays mind games with the others. But is he the ghost of Jean's dead brother Brian?

In FANTASTIC FOUR #21 the team and Col Nick Fury of the CIA defeat the Hate-Monger who turns out to be the double/clone/(ghost?) of Adolf Hitler.

Continuing the Annihilation event ANNIHILATION: NOVA #4 ends this mini-series with Quasar giving his life to buy time for a planet to be evacuated. (Cynically, this was to allow someone else to soon take over his role. But his ghost will return.)

In NEW AVENGERS #28 Hawkeye, Luke Cage and Spider-Woman are kept sedated in the X-Men's brig while they continually run simulations of escape attempts.

Hulk Volumes 7–9: A Tribute to Sal Buscema and the Bronze Age Smash

The latest update brings together three new Hulk compilations — Volumes 7, 8, and 9 — covering an essential stretch of stories from 1974 to 1977. These collections gather material from The Incredible Hulk (1966), the Hulk Annual, various Defenders titles, and a variety of guest appearances across the Marvel Universe, including Fantastic Four, Thor, and Marvel Team-Up.

This period represents one of the most formative eras in Hulk history, and for me, it carries a deeply personal resonance. Many of the stories in these volumes were drawn by the legendary Sal Buscema, who sadly passed away on Friday, January 23, 2026. Sal wasn’t just another great Marvel artist — to me, he was the definitive Hulk artist. His energetic, expressive, unmistakably classic Marvel linework from the 70s and 80s shaped my love for comics and helped define how I see the character to this day.

These volumes are more than just archival collections. They’re a celebration of a creative voice whose impact still echoes through every thunderous leap and every clenched green fist. This update is shared in gratitude and admiration for Sal’s legacy, and in appreciation of the timeless stories he helped bring to life. 

RIP, Sal.
