Coming from Marvel in October
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2009 9:47 am
Again, I'm quite late with this, since once again Marvel removed a couple of high-profile books from their solicitations, and I had to wait for a copy of Marvel Previews to be sure I hadn't missed anything.
So for the incomplete solicitations at Newsarama, as usual : http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090721- ... tions.html
If you prefer Comic Book Resources, here you go : http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=22116
Or you could go directly to the Marvel website : http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?date=2009-10 (they still haven't bothered with updating their website for the stuff missing from September !)
I've put the "new" stuff in blue.
So, without further ado :
NEW SERIES
- DOCTOR VOODOO: AVENGER OF THE SUPERNATURAL #1, by Remender & Palo, spins out of the recent events in NEW AVENGERS.
- WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #1, which is basically a relaunch of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY with a lower price and page-count. It includes SPIDER-GIRL stories reprinted from the website, as well as the return of Kaine to regular continuity.
NEW MINISERIES
- X-MEN VS. AGENTS OF ATLAS #1 (of 2), by Parker & Pagulayan. Basically, AGENTS OF ATLAS is now on hiatus as a regular title ; after this mini, it'll become a back-up strip in INCREDIBLE HERCULES, until the next relaunch.
- DARK AVENGERS: ARES #1 (of 3), by Gillen & Nord
- X-BABIES #1 (of 4), by Schigiel & Chabot.
- SPIDER-MAN 1602 #1 (of 5), by Parker & Rosanas. Just like House of M, 1602 is a franchise that refuses to die yet.
- THE STAND: SOUL SURVIVORS #1 (of 5), by Aguirre-Sacasa and Perkins. You know the deal by now.
- ANITA BLAKE, THE LAUGHING CORPSE - EXECUTIONER #1 (of 5), by Hamilton, Ruffner & Lim.
ONESHOTS
- X-FORCE/NEW MUTANTS: NECROSHA kicks off a semi-crossover between X-FORCE, NEW MUTANTS and X-MEN: LEGACY (and is co-written by all the writers of those series, with art by Crain). The main story will continue in X-FORCE, with tie-in arcs starting in X-MEN: LEGACY #228 and NEW MUTANTS #6.
- This month's string of DARK REIGN: THE LIST one-shots :
* DARK REIGN: THE LIST - SECRET WARRIORS, by Hickman & McGuiness
* DARK REIGN: THE LIST - PUNISHER, by Remender & JRJR
* DARK REIGN: THE LIST - HULK , by Pak & Oliver
* DARK REIGN: THE LIST - WOLVERINE, by Aaron & Ribic.
- DEADPOOL #900 : okay, now they're just taking the piss. But hey, the creative teams on this anthology are impressive for the most part.
- IRON MAN: IRON PROTOCOLS, by Venditti & Nelson
- MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR features some Christmas stories in October.
- MARVEL ZOMBIES: EVIL EVOLUTION, by Kesel & DiSalvo, is a crossover between MARVEL ZOMBIES & MARVEL APES. Because you demanded it.
- Glorified fill-ins :
* CAPTAIN AMERICA THEATER OF WAR: GHOSTS OF MY COUNTRY, by Jenkins and "to be disclosed"
NOTABLE ISSUES
- Shipping twice this month : INCREDIBLE HERCULES (#136-137), and X-MEN FOREVER (#9-10).
- DAREDEVIL #501 sees Diggle & De La Torre taking over the title.
- They didn't indicate it until the last moment, by Gage has started co-writing MIGHTY AVENGERS as of #27. Slott is too busy with ASM yet again...
- THUNDERBOLTS #137 is Diggle's last issue. Already ?
- ASTONISHING X-MEN returns with issue #31, with Jimenez on art.
- PUNISHER: FRANK CASTLE MAX ends with #75, though they're already trailing the relaunch.
- UNCANNY X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is no longer solicited as a miniseries. Hum...
GONE MISSING THIS MONTH :
- AGENTS OF ATLAS : see above
- RUNAWAYS : uh oh... Maybe a relaunch soon ?
- THOR : They're probably waiting for the JMS run to actually end before starting soliciting the rest.
- CAPTAIN AMERICA : on hiatus during REBORN, of course.
- EXILES : cancelled with #6
- MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS : missing for two months running, so I assume it's really gone.
