Still, we'll break down everything we know about the few titles Marvel has advance solicited for January 5, starting with Sabretooth #1 by writer Victor Lavelle and artists Leonard Kirk and Rain Berebo.

According to Marvel, the title reveals what Victor Creed has been up to ... and that it’s not what readers will expect.

No stranger to Marvel fans of all media, Sabretooth/Victor Creed is one of the most popular X-Men villains and is Wolverine's arch-enemy. Violent, bloodthirsty, and sociopathic, Sabretooth was the first mutant banished under Krakoa's laws against killing humans in House of X, suffering the nightmarish threat of being trapped in an organic oubliette in the depths of Krakoa for all eternity.

"All eternity"seems to be up in January however, as he returns with his own title (whether it's ongoing or a limited series, we can't yet say). Perhaps his newfound release will come as a result of the upcoming Inferno limited series, which brings many of the themes of the Krakoa era X-Men titles to a head.

Sabretooth #1 will have a cover by Ryan Stegman, JP Mayer, and Frank Martin, seen above.
