Marvel has a history of teasing future storylines, and the tradition continues this year. Recently, they’ve been releasing one-shots late in the year to hint at what lies ahead. Previous titles under the Timeless brand have suggested bold new directions for beloved characters, including the strong possibility of the Punisher joining the Hand, the dramatic conclusion of the X-Men’s Krakoan era, and the introduction of a new Moon Knight.

While these one-shots often contain plenty of plot seeds that take a while to develop, fans eagerly await the outcomes. Notably, previous teases, such as the shocking Miracle Man reveal, are still to be resolved. As anticipation builds, fans recognize that some hints, like Doctor Doom’s impending dominance and Doctor Strange’s Asgardian transformation, are almost inevitable. Yet questions remain: Will the “Ultimate Incursion”lead to a full crossover with Marvel’s new Ultimate universe this year, and what role will Thor play with the cryptic mention of the “Man with the Hammer”? These tantalizing clues are sure to keep Marvel fans engaged and speculating in the months ahead.

While not every teaser from Marvel’s yearly preview materializes, typically, they serve as reliable indicators of what’s on the horizon. The forecasts, such as Doctor Doom’s takeover and the next phase for Doctor Strange, are anticipated with excitement. It will be fascinating to watch the unfolding narrative around the “Ghost Fist,”presumably hinting at a revived Danny Rand, and the potential invasion of Earth by Dormammu.

With Marvel eager to build momentum, 2025 is poised to see many, if not all, of these exciting plotlines come to fruition. Timeslide #1 is currently available from Marvel Comics.
