The full Marvel Comics August 2021 solicitations have arrived, showing off the comic books and comic book collections coming in the final days of summer from the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, Star Wars, and more.
Over in the flagship Avengers title, 'World War Hulk' will be underway by August's Avengers #47. Whereas the storyline kicked off with She-Hulk being hunted by the Russian government superteam Winter Guard, we learn today they're doing it to enlist her in the Black Widow training program, the Red Room.
Speaking of Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff will be celebrating the fiftieth issue of her self-titled series in August with Black Widow #10, the fourth volume of her title.
Staying on the good news bandwagon, the former Avengers power couple of Captain Marvel and War Machine are back on. After breaking up back in February's Captain Marvel #26, those two are back on - and taking a little time for themselves for a vacation. What could possibly go wrong? (This is superhero comics, so yeah, something goes wrong).
For those that haven't been keeping up on the latest news, August will also see the relaunch of Marvel's Black Panther title, with the new creative team of John Ridley and Juann Cabal. That's right, John Ridley of the film 12 Years a Slave and the current The Other History of the DC Universe comic.
For those of us hooked on the monthly schedule of most superhero comics, be warned - several of Marvel's major ongoings are skipping August. The publisher hasn't given a reason, but we expect them to resume the following month. The affected titles are Excalibur, Non-Stop Spider-Man, New Mutants, SWORD, Shang-Chi, Eternals, Champions, and the Reptil limited series.
And as always, look for multiple covers in some of the galleries and you can also check out the Marvel Comics May 2021 solicitations, Marvel Comics June 2021 solicitations, Marvel Comics July 2021 solicitations, or check out all of Marvel and DC's here on our solicitations tab.

THE ORIGIN OF KANG!
The man called Kang the Conqueror has been a pharaoh, a villain, a warlord of the space ways and even, on rare occasions, a hero. Across all timelines, one fact seemed absolute: Time means nothing to Kang the Conqueror.
But the truth is more complex. Kang is caught in an endless cycle of creation and destruction dictated by time and previously unseen by any but the Conqueror himself. A cycle that could finally explain the enigma that is Kang. And a cycle that begins and ends with an old and broken Kang sending his younger self down a dark path…
