Marvel has a lot planned for May 2021 from the looks of it, but there are also several conspicuous absences from the publisher's just released May 2021 solic🔯itations.
Several key ongoing, monthly🐻 titles including Captain America, Thor, Excalibur, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Savage Avengers, and Avengers have no issues planned for the month of May.
While the absence of a May Avengers issue might be presumed given the 'Heroes Reborn' event (which spins out of the Avengers ongo♕ing series), the simultaneous absence of the other titles raises questions - espec♌ially when other titles overlapping with 'Heroes Reborn' such as Amazing Spider-Man are continuing in May unabated.
That said, Iron Man writer Christopher Cantwell states on Twitter that the reason for the Avengers ☂titles' absences, including Iron Man, are indeed due to the advent of Heroes Reborn, which may mean the titles could also be absent in June, as Heroes Reborn 2021 continues.
And of course, that doesn't account for Excalibur's absence from thไe scꦿhedule, as it is not an Avengers title.
News♕arama reached out tꦏo Marvel about the missing titles and will update our readers when a response comes in.
This could all come down to individual 'skip months' for each title that just so happens to be occurring simultaneously, with plans for the titles to resume in June - however, Marvel has💫 not announced that is the case.
