A number of Marvel Comics titles which previously had their individual print releases cancelled (or at least postponed) in favor of digital-only releases have now been re-added to Marvel's schedule for physical release to Direct Market comic book retailers.

(Image credit: Marvel Comics)

Following the disruption of the comic book Direct Market due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Marvel announced that several titles would no longer receive physical releases — "for the time being" — with individual issues scheduled to be released solely on digital platforms. However, the publisher also announced that the issues would later be included in print in collected editions. Now, many of those titles have been added back to Marvel's print release schedule.

Of the titles Marvel previously announced would continue as digital-only releases, Ghost-Spider, Ant-Man, Avengers of the Wastelands, Ravencroft, Star, Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Black Cat Strikes, Hawkeye: Freefall, Valkyrie: Jane Foster, Revenge of Cosmic Ghost Rider, and 2020 Force Works will now receive print releases for individual issues.

Two other series, Scream: Curse of Carnage and 2020 Ironheart, have already completed their runs in digital-only release, with physical collections expected for eventual release. They were not included in these resolicitations.

The titles which have been resolicited will also be released with their planned variant covers. Here's the list of what's been added back to Marvel's print release schedule, organized by release date:
