April showers bring May flowers goes the old saying, and in Marvel Comics the publisher's full May 2022 release schedule brings a bouquet of blossoming new #1s.
Sam Wilson begins his second go-around as Captain America in his new solo ongoing series Symbol of Truth.
And the Savage Avengers are relaunched in their second ongoing series with Conan leading a brand new line-up. And it's written by former Newsarama writer/editor David Pepose, which is cool.
Spider-Man 2099 will headline a new limited series, Exodus. that begins with an Alpha special and its first two issues.
The Kingpin-Daredevil(s)-centric Devil's Reign event wraps up with an Omega special, but it's Devil's Reign: Omega #1, so it still counts.
The Thunderbolts are back in that team's latest iteration in a new limited series, and it just so happens to be a post-Devil's Reign type thing.
The New Fantastic Four - that's Spider-Man, the Hulk, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider to their friends - return in a new flashback series.
And if the Thunderbolts and New Fantastic Four can come back, so can 2008's Secret Invasion in a new limited series follow-up to the original set in the current day Marvel Universe.
And last but certainly not least for new #1s, the X-Men legend Chris Claremont returns for a brand new Gambit limited series.
Plus Tony Stark is going to ask someone to marry him, and if you haven't been reading Iron Man lately you might be surprised who he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg… sorry, that's a mixed metaphor. That's just the most aromatic of Marvel's May blooming flowers.

They are all small towns. The kinds of places you'd never stop at except to get gas. Cars are abandoned. The houses and shops empty, the people seemingly vanished. Where did they go? The park might offer some clues. Among the peanut shells and abandoned stuffed animals, you can almost hear the music of the midway, the laughter — and the screams.
