Note: Boom! Studios releases their solicitations a month later than other publishers. I will post Boom! Studios May 2012 solicitations when it become available. If I missed any other publisher's May solicitations please post it here and I will add it to the list.
Marvel
- 4 new #1s this month. Fury Max #1 by Garth Ennis looks good. Not sure if I'll get it or not.
- Well the AvX event is well underway in May. Luckily only 4 of the titles I read are tie-ins.
- Amazing Spider-Man's "End of the Earth" arc is getting a special one-shot tie-in. "Guest staring: Big Hero Six and Union Jack" Looks interesting.
- Captain America & Hawkeye is double shitting this month. Oops I mean double shipping. Marvel is starting to get on my nerves with the influx of double shipping. Also is Hawkeye the new "it" character? Please god no.
- Invincible Ironman #516 - "The mole inside Start Resilient is revealed!" FUCK YEAH. I almost thought Fraction forgot about the mole. (title is also double shipping this month)
- Starting to look like the titles Fantastic Four and FF will both continue. I thought Fantastic Four was ending again on #604 but I guess not. I don't mind though. I enjoy Hickman's work. (Fantastic Four is also double shipping)
- New Mutants/Journey into Mystery crossover "Exiled" happens this month. Looks exciting. "A thrilling mythological mystery adventure in the Mighty Marvel manner, the most epic crossover of 2012! (Not counting that one where As fight Xs)"
DC
- 6 new #1s this month. The only one I'm interested in is Batman, Incorporated.
- "Night of the Owls" Batman crossover happens this month. Comics are supposed to be independent of one another so I'll only be reading the ones I already get, Batman and Batman and Robin.
- Tiny Titans is officially over and is now being replaced by Superman Family Adventures (same creative team). This better be good or I'll be pissed about Tiny Titans.
Image
- 4 new #1s. None of them look interesting to me.
Dark Horse
- 4 new #1s. Mind MGMT #1 looks interesting. "Akira meets Heart of Darkness by way of 100 Bullets!"
IDW
- 7 new #1s plus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Color Classics #1. "Relive the exciting origins of TMNT, this time in all-new full-color comics!" I never read the original TMNT comics so I'll definitively check this out.
Dynamite
- 1 new #1, The Spider. Looks interesting but I probably won't grab it.
Bluewater
- 2 new #1s. Neither looks interesting to me.
Top Cow, Aspen, Archie, Moonstone
- No new #1s.
Marvel
- I'm probably more excited about AvsX than I should be, but might as well get my hopes up so they can be crushed to a pulp
- Doc Ock has been "dying" for about five years now - either shit or get off the pot
DC
- I don't want to read any of this
