Let's put together a bunch of Marvel Comics solicitations for May 2018 from what's already out there.

DC NATION #0

DC Comics is kickstarting its new promotional magazine DC Nation with the release of DC Nation #0 on May 2, just a few days prior to Free Comic Book Day on May 5. DC Nation #0, which will retail for $0.25, features three stories from three of the biggest events coming to the world of DC Comics in 2018.

2018 is shaping up to be a huge year for DC Comics following the debut of Dark Nights: Metal in 2017. With the conclusion of Metal comes the debut of the next chapter, Justice League: No Justice, coming on May 9. Fans who enjoyed Metal will no doubt love No Justice, which is the story of what happens when Earth's biggest threat arrives and the Justice League must reach out to some unlikely allies to save the planet. The DC Nation #0 preview of No Justice features the team of Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson and artist Jorge Jimenez.

With the biggest wedding of 2018 coming in Batman #50, in stores July 4, Tom King and artist Clay Mann have a preview of the Bat and Cat's pending nuptials for DC Nation #0. The Joker isn't happy that the Bat and Cat are getting married, but what will the Clown Prince of Crime do to ruin Batman's day? (We can guess that he won't be giving the happy couple a gift, at least not one from their registry…)

Finally, DC Nation #0 will feature a celebration of Brian Michael Bendis' arrival at DC and his work on Action Comics #1000 due in April. Bendis is joining artist Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez for a prelude to Bendis' Man of Steel weekly miniseries coming in late May.
