Marvel’s trade paperback and hardcovers are coming out in bigger numbers this month. Why? Firstly, marvel always has an excellent number of graphic novels every month. Secondly, the COVID catch up. The publishing plans changed quite a bit when the industry had to shut down. but now, we got a bit a lot more to choose from. and there are some really fun marvel Comics graphic novels you must read this November.
Star Wars Vol. 1: The Destiny Path

When marvel first took over star Wars comics, they explored the events between Episode IV: A new hope and Episode V: The empire Strikes Back. That series wrapped up last year, and in 2020, we got a new star Wars series. This time, it’s set between Episode V: The empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. This is a dark era in star Wars mythos. and if you’re a star Wars can, you must absolutely start reading the graphic novels in November because it’s some of the best work coming from marvel Comics. Yes, Han is frozen in carbonite. but we get a lot more Lando, so, balance?

It’s a good month for Donny Cates. Not only was Crossover #1 an absolutely fantastic comic, but he’s still rocking on Thor and Venom. If you haven’t read any of his Thor series yet, you must read the first of the graphic novels when marvel Comics releases it this November. His Thor is like a merging of Warren Ellis and Walt Simonson. but at the same time, completely unique. Also, seeing Thor as the Herald of Thunder…awe-inspiring. That’s because Nic Klein’s art is gorgeous. When we first see Thor as the Herald, it’s hard not to just pause and reflect on the power of that image. Klein’s art goes perfectly with Cates’s writing.

Speaking of Donny Cates, he has a big Venom event starting next month called The King in Black. In fact, the prologue: web of Venom: Empyre’s end is already available. but before you read that, you must read Symbiosis, now available as one of marvel Comics epic Collection graphic Novels this November. Symbiosis is where it all started for Venom. From Spider-Man earning that his amazing black costume was actually a malicious alien, to Eddie Brock wreaking havoc on Peter Parker’s life after becoming Venom. The epic Collection line at marvel is great—and well worth the price. They’re kind of somewhere between a trade paperback and an omnibus, and best for comic lovers. (Also, they are a bit more affordable online, especially during a Comixology sale).
