Look three months ahead into Marvel Comics' future thanks to the just-released October 2020 solicitations.
Newsarama has already reported on two of the big events going on in October - the 'X of Swords' crossover event and the beginning of the King in Black event - but there's more fruit on the vine for comics fans angling to know more about what's to come.
Elsewhere in the Marvel U, writer Matthew Rosenberg is joining the Amazing Spider-Man team for the previously-announced 'Last Remains' arc - in what appears to be a stealth tie-in limited series using that title's numbering.
While as we write this we're still in the midst of the Kree/Skrull/Earth/Cotati event Empyre, October's Guardians of the Galaxy #7 gives us a sneak preview of what's to come: Marvel Boy will become the new ambassador for the Utopian Kree.
Over in the new Shang-Chi series launching in September, October's #2 will feature the debut of a new character: Sister Hammer. Besides her apparently appearing on the cover not much is known about her, but given the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings movie there's an extra reason to pay attention to this one.
And as a reminder, with Newsarama's new site comes a new solicitations browsing experience.
If you see "Image 1 of x" in the upper left corner, there are multiple variant covers to check out. Click the left and right arrows to see them all.
And all images can be expanded with the compass key in the lower right-hand corner too!
So check out Marvel's new comics from their October 2020 comic book solicitations below.
You can also check out the collections Marvel has solicited for October 2020 (and beyond here). Also, the Marvel September 2020 solicitations are here and the DC October 2020 solicitations here.

Only trouble is he might get himself killed in the process, and there are still plenty of people in line with an ax to grind. Old friends like HELLCAT try to help him find peace of mind and speak truth to his stubborn god complex, but lurking on the horizon is a threat Tony—and indeed the entire cosmos—hasn't seen in years…KORVAC…yet another guy who believes he's smarter than the rest of the universe.
