Infinity Wars Arachknight and Spider-Girls are both short (one is two issues and the other is three), and they had really solid starts. I always enjoy seeing how they cram an entire story into so few issues! A lot happens really quickly, and I cannot wait to see what happens with these two. Infinity Wars Arachknight is basically what would happen if you combined Spider-Man and Moon Knight, while Spider-Girls has people from multiple dimensions. 

Uncanny X-Men had a really strong first issue, too. I think the "villain" has good intentions, but they also see death as a necessity, which can never end well. There are a lot of people in this one, and I'm curious if some of the characters will have larger roles than others. There's an X-Men team, but also some younger trainees that are new to field work. They're typical teenagers, arrogant and overconfident in their abilities, so I'm sure they're going to find themselves in unfavorable situations. 

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, that highlights upcoming releases that we're anticipating and excited to read. It's a spinoff of the feature Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

To Best the Boys by Mary Weber
Expected publication: March 5th 2019

Synopsis (via Goodreads): Every year for the past fifty-four years, the residents of Pinsbury Port receive a mysterious letter inviting all eligible-aged boys to compete for an esteemed scholarship to the all-male Stemwick University. Every year, the poorer residents look to see that their names are on the list. The wealthier look to see how likely their sons are to survive. And Rhen Tellur opens it to see if she can derive which substances the ink and parchment are created from, using her father’s microscope.

In the province of Caldon, where women are trained in wifely duties and men are encouraged into collegiate education, sixteen-year-old Rhen Tellur wants nothing more than to become a scientist. As the poor of her seaside town fall prey to a deadly disease, she and her father work desperately to find a cure. But when her Mum succumbs to it as well? Rhen decides to take the future into her own hands—through the annual all-male scholarship competition.

With her cousin, Seleni, by her side, the girls don disguises and enter Mr. Holm’s labyrinth, to best the boys and claim the scholarship prize. Except not everyone’s ready for a girl who doesn’t know her place. And not everyone survives the maze. 

The cover is what initially caught my attention, but the synopsis really sold it for me. I already want to know how people are selected for scholarships, and why they eventually end up in a labyrinth. Why does it matter if your rich or poor? Male or female? I think it's going to be an interesting story!
