It shouldn; be that much of a surprise – but it is. Marvel Comics #1000, the comic book coming in August from Marvel Comics featuring eighty one-page stories by eighty creative teams all masterminded by Al Ewing has had a tonne of press in recent days ahead of Marvel's August 2019 solicitations. But at the Retailer Diamond Summit in Las Vegas today, it got a little more. With the Marvel retailer presentation showing off #1000.

Marvel Comics #1001. Of course, it would. September maybe? Or another year?
