The start of summer brings with it the end of the X-Men’s Krakoa era, a lot more Blood Hunting (including a vampire Hulk?!?), the arrival of a familiar face to the Ultimate X-Men, War Machine having had too much (finally!), and far far more — including Skottie Young returning for a new variant line at the publisher, and a special line of Pride Month-themed covers, to boot. Really, June is a very, very busy month at Marvel — and that’s even before we get to the Dazzler Omnibus collection.

When it comes to what Peter Parker and his amazing friends are getting up to, the answer is... certainly not anything close to taking a break. Both Peter and Miles Morales are taking part in this summer's big Blood Hunt storyline, but that's not enough for Mr. Parker: he's also got the return of the Sinister Six and a brand new Goblin to deal with... one so spooky that Marvel can't even share what he looks like just yet! (Oh, and the Venomverse is back, as well.)

Read on to find out everything happening in Marvel's Spider-Man titles this June.
