COMICS: Marvel's April Solicitations Reveal Symbiote Event, Spidey's New Roomie And More

We don't have the cover art for any of these titles just yet, but if you want details on Marvel's secret symbiote event this summer, Peter Parker's new superhero roommate, the new writer of Wolverine and more, hit the jump.

Bleeding Cool has managed to get their hands on Marvel's April 2012 solicitations (minus the covers) and below are just some of the highlights. In Amazing Spider-Man, Dan Slott's epic "Ends of the Earth" event is clearly going to push Spidey and the Avengers to their limits. Speaking of Avengers, it appears that Brian Michael Bendis' last arc will be the Avengers Vs. X-Men tie-in's - where does that leave "Age of Ultron"? We also have a reprint of the first ever issue of Avengers (just in time for the movie!) and the reveal of a secret summer symbiote event, Peter Parker's new roomie and a new writer for Wolverine.

Running out of ideas doesn't matter if Symbiotes are involved.

Am I the only one who thinks Flash is going to be taken over by the Symbiote, and become the new evil Venom?

I like Flash and I like the premise of his comicbook, but I miss old Venom. Not the Mac Gargan one, but the old sadistic, intelligent, formidable one Eddie Brock was.

I believe that banner image is from Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (cool game, didn't you play it?); by Gabrielle Del Otto, I guess. Here's another, with Spidey only, though.



I'd love some Symbiotes, anyway! :)

I had no idea that Marvel was anything but a Symbiote Event!

@monkeyballs There are no universally agreed upon borders which constitutes 'the Middle East'; many consider Egypt and other parts of northern Africa to be defined within that region.
