Marvel released their full solicitations for May 2016 today. Look for several key new ongoing series to debut (Captain America: Steve Rogers and The Punisher) while the Avengers Standoff crossover wraps up and Civil War II gets a prologue issue.

Captain America: Steve Rogers #1

Civil War II #0

Daredevil/Punisher #1

Nighthawk #1

The Punisher #1

Thunderbolts #1

Spider-Women Omega #1

Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin #5

We need a convenient set of nicknames to distinguish between the Steve Rogers Captain America and the Sam Wilson Captain America.

If there was any question as to the post-Secret Wars fate of Thanos, The Ultimates #7 has the answer.

That Vision #7 solicit has us very impatient to read the issue.

There's no new issue of Howling Commandos of S.H.I.E.L.D. listed for May, and the trade paperback doesn't have a volume number. That could be a sign the series has been quietly canceled.

May looks to be a good month for Omnibus lovers.
