Marvel Comics has released its solicitations for May 2016, and with "Civil War II" kicking off, Steve Rogers returning to his Captain America identity and "Standoff" wrapping up, it's obvious the publisher is planning for a big summer.

Steve Rogers is Captain America, "Civil War II" Begins in Marvel's May 2016 Solicitations

And while there's something happening in every book Marvel is releasing in May, some twists, turns and revelations stand out a little bit more than others. Here are the big developments that stood out to us.

• "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." #5 is the Marvel Comics debut of Grant Ward! What this means for fan theories/hope that the show would reveal him to be the Marvel cinematic Universe's incarnation of Taskmaster remains to be seen..
• Marvel is celebrating its hip-hop variants with a hardcover collection featuring 70 of the covers.
• "Hercules," "Karnak" and "Angela" all missing from the solicitations. Marvel has not yet responded to CBR's inquiries regarding the status of the series.
• With the character's profile set to rise thanks to his role in Netflix's "Daredevil" Season 2, Frank Castle returns with a new "Punisher" series, this time from writer Becky Cloonan and classic "Punisher" artist Steve Dillon. And the "Daredevil/Punisher" miniseries makes its debut as well.
• Meanwhile, the Thunderbolts reunite for a new series, and Squadron Supreme member Nighthawk, billed as "one of the most brutal super heroes of the Marvel Universe," launches a new, solo series.

• Ultron returns in "Uncanny Avengers" #9, but this time, he's under Hank Pym's control. We're sure that'll turn out just fine. And, after the series' recent tease, in "Uncanny Avengers" #9 Rogue and Gambit do reunite. "We promise."
