Marvel is trading superhero fights for murder mysteries this week and that's only the beginning of its biggest new releases.

Marvel's latest comic slate is not about superheroes always need world-ending battles to raise the stakes. This week's lineup is led by whodunit set at the Hellfire Gala, where one of mutantkind's most influential figures is murdered and every guest becomes a suspect. Elsewhere, Spider-Man edges closer to the milestone Amazing Spider-Man #1000.
Here's everything worth adding to your pull list this week.
1. X-Men: The Hellfire Murder
The biggest release of the week swaps superhero spectacle for detective fiction.
Set during an exclusive Hellfire Gala hosted by Sebastian Shaw, the one-shot begins with the murder of a powerful mutant insider.

The mystery promises lasting consequences for mutantkind.
