The End, Marvel’s epilogue for Earth’s mightiest heroes, brings to a final conclusion the exploits and endeavors of comic book champions. The End: Captain Marvel, from writer Kelly Thompson and artist Carmen Carnero, is the closing chapter in the story of Carol Danvers, the cosmic crusader and one-time leader of the Avengers. A half-century in the future, Captain Marvel returns to Earth, a world ravaged by untold war to find the offspring of heroes rebuilding society in the subterranean depths of the planet. A lifetime of regret and loss is lighten by promise of a new tomorrow and in The End, Carol Danvers’ final act of sacrifice will leave readers marveling at the newest wonder of the world.

In Doctor Strange: The End, Stephen Strange is left virtually powerless after his fellow sorcerers and practitioners of the dark arts have all passed from the Earth. The aging doctor turns midnight graverobber and exhumes the bones of the dead magicians to fuel the arcane cauldron that will empower and bring forth the next Sorcerer Supreme. Will the ritual prove successful? Or will the Master of the Mystic Arts wither and fade forever? And is The End ever far for Deadpool? In the final Deadpool story, Deadpool: The End, “quintessential Deadpool scribe Joe Kelly and record-setting Deadpool artist Mike Hawthorne team-up” for an unexpected Choose-Your-Own-Ending issue. Readers can choose between the happy “Endless Bacchanalia” ending, the scary “Corporate Cubicle Death” ending, “Bloodiest Ending of All,” or the “Throwback Ending for O.G. Fans Only” in a finale as absurd and amusing as the insurmountable hero himself. Case closed.

Following the Absolute Carnage story arc and the Ruins of Ravencroft one-shots Carnage, Sabretooth, and Dracula archived over the past months, Ravencroft, Institute for the Criminally Insane limited-series makes its debut on Marvel Unlimited this week. With psychotherapy for supervillains, test-subjects fleeing the grounds, and resident-terrorist Norman Osborn on-call, writer Frank Tieri’s Ravencroft is a procedural powderkeg about to explode. Also muddying the waters where heroism is concerned, Avengers of the Wasteland begins its five-issue journey with a dystopian tale of Doom and desperation in the Badlands made infamous in the seminal Old Man Logan. When Doctor Doom tightens his grip on the future-Wastelands and consolidates his power by eliminating the competition with violent impunity, a motley crew of hand-me-down Avengers bands together as the only veritable resistance to the monarch’s powerplay. Amazing Spider-Man: Daily Bugle, a journalistic limited-series focusing on J. Jonah Jameson’s famous broadsheet, and Weapon Plus: World War IV, a Man-Thing flower-power one-shot, also premiere on the Marvel Comics digital library this week.

And don’t miss new issues of Surgeon Supreme, Spider-Verse, Peter Porker, and more — with two dozen new titles, ongoing series, and facsimile editions, there’s never been a better week to dig into the Marvel online archive. Marvel Unlimited is available on the App Store, Google Play, and online.
