The story includes an interesting exploration of the death perception ability that Jane Foster gained when she became a Valkyrie.

By writer Torunn Gronbekk, artists Michael Dowling and Jesus Aburtov, with letters by Joe Sabino, the issue is part one in a five-part saga about Jane Foster’s reluctant decision to wield the hammer once more.

Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1 started with a bang.

The brutality of this issue is so visceral that I can’t see how he walks away from this one without spending another six months in the hospital. While some of the supporting characters have some growth, Pete spends the entire issue on the losing end of Tombstones rage. to really lean in and show Spidey trapped by the bad guy and getting the living snot beat out of him. Reminiscent of the classic Amazing Spider-Man #33, writer Zeb Wells uses most of this issue to set the stage for John Romita Jr.

In the last issue, Spidey walked into a trap laid out by Tombstone.

Mutants in space will always get me, but Marauders outdoes itself with how strong the worldbuilding is. The Kin Crimson Chronicles data pages feel regal and dangerous in the way she formats them for the page. It’s worth noting that Ariana Maher ’s letters do a great job leading the reader to where the story needs to go, making occasionally confusing layouts clear and straightforward. There’s some really solid connections being built out here that I don’t think other writers are going to be able to resist talking about. There’s a strong sense of impending doom in this book, and it feels like it’s definitely going to come back and have massive ramifications for other X-Books as well. I’m really enjoying his explorations of the Ten Shames and how they impact both the Shi’ar empire and the cosmos as a whole. Though it’s not a callback, Orlando does a great job expanding on the mythos of the Shi’ar.

I can’t wait to see what other callbacks we see over the course of this series. Along with the use of Eric, references to the Fraternity of Raptors, and the allusions to 90’s Excalibur mainstay Cerise, Orlando has definitely done his X-homework. Also, I feel the need to point out how crazy it is to see Eric the Red here after a 20 year absence that was only broken with a quick appearance in an X-Men Legends story last year. The Kin Crimson are an interesting set of antagonists that makes the whole Eric the Red thing much clearer. Even Somnus, who Orlando created for last year’s Marvel Voices: Pride anthology, feels strong and secure in his voice throughout the issue. While there’s a much larger focus on the Shi’ar as a whole, we don’t lose the Marauders in the milieu of Shi’ar space. The characterizations overall feel really strong in this book.

It’s a really good way to recontextualize that previous series and keep her characterization consistent with her previous appearances back in the early Aughts. Now, she just won’t be a monster towards mutants. She’s not the mellowed out shell we last saw in 2018’s X-Men Red – instead, she’s still a monster who languishes in the pain of those around her. I want to touch on it here because the Marvel Rundown crew hasn’t talked about this new volume of Marauders yet, but I’m very happy with the way Steve Orlando has handled Cassandra Nova in this book so far. Who would’ve thought someone other than Knull liked Symbiote Dragons? And while most of our mutant friends stay captured for the first half of the issue, Cassandra Nova has an incredible battle with a Kin Crimson dragon and a symbiote that’s been transformed into weaponized blood (yes, you read that correctly). The last issue ended with Majestrix Xandra about to decide the fate of the Marauders after they’d been bested in battle by Eric the Red of the Kin Crimson. Matt Milla ’s colors complement this perfectly, and I’m a big fan of the way the shadows are used to emphasize certain scenes. The pages look cohesive and clean, with each brushstroke serving a purpose.

Each line feels loose in this cartoony style, but everything is perfectly detailed. Eleonora Carlini ’s interiors for the book are exceptional as well. There’s this feeling that the Marauders are about to go wild to get out of the crossfire of those Shi’ar blasters, which makes it all the more dramatic to turn the page and see how they get out of that situation. From the jump, I have to give Kael Ngu ’s cover a shoutout.
