Coming from Marvel in November
Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:41 am
The december solicitations are nearly out, so let's look at what should be out in november :
For the solicitations at Newsarama : http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090818- ... tions.html
If you prefer Comic Book Resources, here you go : http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=22580
Or you could go directly to the Marvel website : http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?date=2009-11
NEW SERIES
- S.W.O.R.D. #1, by Gillen and Sanders, stars Agent Brand, Beast and Lockheed.
- DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #899 (Van Lente & Talajic) starts a "third on-going series" for Deadpool. They're kidding, right ?
- PUNISHERMAX #1, by Aaron and Dillon, is explicitely out of continuity, and features its own version of the Kingpin.
- POWERS #1, by Bendis and Oeming, is supposed to be back as a monthly. I'll believe it when I see it.
NEW MINISERIES
- DARK X-MEN #1 (of 5), by Cornell and Kirk, features what's left of the team after Utopia, as well as the return of Nate Grey. Er, right...
- BLACK WIDOW: DEADLY ORIGIN #1 (of 4), by Cornell, Raney and Leon. Any bets on whether this will contradict established continuity (such as the last few BW minis) ?
- IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH #1 (of 4), by Bragga, Guggenheim & Briones, is an "in-continuity lead-in to the IRON MAN 2 movie", whatever that means.
- Two new miniseries spinning off from the end of the War of Kings crossover :
* REALM OF KINGS: IMPERIAL GUARD #1 (of 5), by Abnett, Lanning and Walker.
* REALM OF KINGS: INHUMANS #1 (of 5), by Abnett, Lanning and Raimondi.
- STRANGE #1 (of 4), by Waid and Rios, focuses on the former Sorcerer Supreme.
- PSYLOCKE #1 (of 4), by Yost and Tolibao.
- DEATHLOK #1 (of 7), by Huston and Medina. Marvel Knights (so of dubious continuity) + "in the not-too-distant future"...
- THE MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ #1 (of 8), a sequel to the quite successful novel adaptation, by the same creative team.
- SKY DOLL – DOLL’S FACTORY #1 (of 2) : sequel to a Soleil book.
- KOOKABURRA K #1 (of 3), another Soleil book, with Ramos on art.
- DARK TOWER: THE BATTLE OF JERICHO HILL #1 (of 5) : should I even bother mentionning these ?
ONESHOTS
- DARK REIGN: THE LIST - AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, by Slott & Kubert, concludes the pseudo-crossover. Will it actually advance in the Dark Reign storyline ?
- REALM OF KINGS, by Abnett, Lanning and Manco, kicks off the new storyline/statu quo of the cosmic books.
- ASSAULT ON NEW OLYMPUS is, for all intents and purposes, an extra issue of INCREDIBLE HERCULES, by exactly the same creative team, kicking off a new storyline. Also, this is the start of the AGENTS OF ATLAS backup strip.
- X-MEN ORIGINS: ICEMAN, by Aguirre-Sacasa and Noto.
- THE BLACK KNIGHT #1, by deFalco & Frenz, reprints some web-published stories.
- IRON MAN: REQUIEM reprints TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 and INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #144 with a token Fraction/Kano framing sequence.
- SON OF MARVEL READING CHRONOLOGY. Wait, what ?
Glorified fill-in watch :
NOTABLE ISSUES
- WAR MACHINE #12 concludes the series.
- Parker takes over THUNDERBOLTS with #138. Meanwhile, Gillen is the new THOR writer as of #604, with Tan on art.
- NECROSHA continues in X-FORCE #21 and NEW MUTANTS #7. But not X-MEN:LEGACY, contrary to what I announced last month (the tie-in in that title only starts in December).
GONE MISSING THIS MONTH :
- CAPTAIN AMERICA (still on hiatus)
- RUNAWAYS (uh oh)
- X-FACTOR (skip month between #50 and #200)
