Also Marvel recycles the canceled Young Allies cover for Onslaught Unleashed
I may pick it up, just to see how Layman handles superheroes. His Marvel Zombies/Army of Darkness comic was pretty cool, so I have high hopes.

I'll believe it when I see it in my hands.
So that's somewhere around the #35-50 issue mark.
Other than that:
Thunderbolts
X-Men Legacy
Uncanny (it's been so long)
Ultimate Spider-Man
Heroes for Hire
Gurihiru Cap one-shot (thought it was a mini)
Annihilators
That's the biggest pull list I've had from Marvel for months.
Is Marvel really slowing down their TPB program this long? Doomwar came out in hardcover 3 months ago, and now 4 months later it finally gets a TPB.
Although Universe probably isn't necessary
I like Fear Agent, but given what happened when he took over All-New Atom I would not really want him given free reign.
He was curtailed by editors, because they didn't want Punisher playing that big of a role in the MU or something silly. I still hope for a What-If series.
Personally as much as I love the Punisher in gritland putting him in crazy situations really works with his grim and gritty past. Frank fighting Nazi Zombies and aliens and that kind of thing is just plain good entertainment.
Man, imagine a Punisher mini-series done by the Atomic Robo crew. Or a Punisher/Agents of Atlas crossover by Jeff Parker.
What can I say? I'm poor at the moment (paying off a mondo computer upgrade). I'll grab it at some point though.
Yeah that would be awesome
Especially if the Atomic Robo crew got hold of it
but using El Cazador is interesting. That wasn't a sigilverse-related title, was it?

At least that's what a dude on another forum is saying.
Like, the series isn't brilliant or anything, but it's a fun read with some interesting perspectives on super heroing, fitting in, juggling responsibilities and watching leera learn to fit into 21st century society is really fun.
I really hope they focus on the "secret agent" aspect of the character. Also, if they could find a way to keep the Venom of old (big, strong, drooly, hentai tongue,etc) out of it that would be best.
Gotta get into the shop this weekend and pick up #1.
They said we'll see some of the old venom the more the symbiote is in control.
Also, I couldn't figure it out - what is SHIELD Infinity?
It's out?
My routine: I go in to pick up book X, it is or is not there and then I buy something else/geek out looking around at everything/trade jabs with the kid behind the counter for his taste in [whatever he brings up].
No I don't believe it will be out until February with the tie-in ASM.
Well I was way off!
