Marvel Comics has made it clear they won’t be releasing new comics this week digitally or physically, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be releasing new and old collections. Out on comiXology fans can catch up on some key titles as well as brush up on some classic tales. This week there are five collections with some continuing a line of reprintings–like What If? Volume 4— and others releasing in print for the first time newer collections.
This is what you can purchase tomorrow digitally on New Comic Book Day when it comes to Marvel titles:
What If? Volume 4
Collects What If? (1977) #36-47.
More alternate-reality questions are answered! Imagine a world where the Fantastic Four never gained their powers — or one where Stephen Strange never became Master of the Mystic Arts! Consider the fates of the Thing and the Beast if they continued to mutate — or Spider-Man if Uncle Ben had lived! Picture Conan the Barbarian meeting Thor — or finding himself stranded in the 20th century for good! The Hulk goes berserk, Susan Richards dies in childbirth, Nova makes a life-changing decision and Galactus turns the Silver Surfer back into Norrin Radd! But what if Loki had found Mjolnir before his brother — and what if the Marvel Universe ceased to exist?! Plus: Thought-provoking tales featuring Daredevil, the Sub-Mariner, the Avengers and more!

The Young Avengers, once more with feels! And there came a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest teens found themselves united against a very uncommon threat.

Heed the call, then – for now, the Young Avengers hang out! Hawkeye (not the Hawkguy) puts the super in hero. Marvel boy will rock your world. Miss America will kick your &*^ to another dimension. Prodigy is an ex-X-Man know-it-all. Wiccan and Hulkling bring the squee. And Loki? Oh boy, we have a Loki.

Creative gestalt entity Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie (Phonogram, The Wicked +The Divine) bang their collective drum, reinventing the super-hero comic book in their own freakish image.
