Marvel's January 2027 Solicits Lock In a Launch Date for the Star Wars Crossover and Open Two New Incursions

Marvel's January 2027 solicitations are out, and the biggest news is a firm release date for Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles. First teased back in August as part of Star Wars' 50th anniversary celebrations, the five-issue crossover from writer Kevin Smith and artist David Marquez now has a launch day of January 13. The premise stays as wild as it sounded the first time around: a reality-warping spell plays the entirety of A New Hope out on Earth-616, teaming the Avengers and Spider-Man with Luke Skywalker, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca while Doctor Doom cozies up to Darth Vader and the Empire.

The rest of the month leans hard into versus-format one-shots under a new "Incursions" banner. X-Men '92: Incursions #1 throws the cartoon-era X-Men against their younger, more cynical X-Men: Evolution counterparts, while Avengers: Incursions #1 drags the classic Avengers lineup into a clash with Thanos's villainous Cabal - both read like exhibition matches built for maximum nostalgia whiplash.

Elsewhere, Wolverine #31 pushes Logan back toward full feral mode, Captain America #19 has Steve Rogers, Iron Man, and a child clone of Doctor Doom racing to undo a villain's rewritten timeline, and Doomquest #7 finds Reed Richards commandeering Julius Caesar's body at the height of his power to take on Doom across multiple eras. Two long runners also close out: Marvel Zombies: War Zone wraps its fifth issue with Zombie Thor entering the final battle, and Black Panther/Namor: Doomed ends its five-issue arc. Everything ships at the standard $4.99, save for the extra-length Hope Assembles #1 at $5.99.
