    The one-shots sounds a lot more likely.

    Also, to get back to this being a general news thread and not just Iron Fist-wank: Fraction said the TPB for Seven Capital Cities of Heaven is going to be huge: IIF 8-14 (which is 34pgs), plus both Orson one-shots.

    That's a lot of bang for your buck right there.

    Sweet. I did not realize this arc was going to be so long. I am glad. :)

    Oh. Oh, I...I'm not sure what to think about this development. I guess I'm just gonna stick around for Jason Aaron's run, and then I'm done with Wolverine. I'm really tired of "in the future, shit is fucked up" stories, especially since they all stand to be contradicted so easily.

    Hey, I think that Wolverine thing is related to this post by Millar last year:

    Millar / McNiven '08 Project Hints
    ""Civil War was Marvel's biggest selling series since the early 90s. So how do we follow that? What character or group or regular book do you feel we're doing now for next April? I don't think it'll be named for another month or two yet, but curious as to what you think we'd work well on.

    I'll tell you this much... I'm having a great time. I stopped writing War Heroes at number 3 and FF at our tenth issue as I'm so far ahead. Started the McNiv project a couple of months back and just finishing issue seven now. I'll have the first big arc (eight issues) done by the time the thing's announced and then I can jump back onto Kick-Ass. I've never been this far ahead before (using my time out wisely towards the end), but it's a bloody great feeling. The book's worked out really well too. Steve is itching to get started.

    Some clues:

    It involves a symbiote at one stage in the story, the death of the greatest Marvel hero, a new President, a blind superhero driving a car 3000 miles and The Hulk as you've never seen them (yes them) before. It's a lot of fun and I have a feeling this is going to be MASSIVE.

    Start saving now.

    Retailers, you can build that extension you've been thinking about. As of January I'm back, my friends!!!

    Marvel has entered a partnership with Soleil, a French comic publisher, to publish translated French comics here in the USA. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=144451 Dunno how this will work out for them financially, but from the preview art alone I'd say that this is a pretty good thing.

    Some of that art is pretty swell. Bendis keeps making a big deal about how some of their books are released only once a year, but sell millions of copies. That has to make this good for someone.

    I'd like to read another espionage book. But I just realized during WWH that Iron Man has been one. So... I'll see if it takes next time I see a copy.

    About that Millar/McNiven project:
    But I do have this stupid thing where I like to fire myself at the end of every year and it�s because Frank Miller�s my hero and I love the fact that Frank Miller came on and did four issues of �Batman� and made it the best ever and then he came on and did eight issues of �Daredevil� with �Born Again� and it was the best ever and I just try to copy that.
    I actually like Millar, but he ain't no Frank-Miller-in-his-prime.

    The F4 thing is interesting. I like that he knows that the Indians used guns.

    I read that as a joke and he just wants people to buy all his books. He mentions Kick ass ties in as well if I recall correctly.

    Top Cow released the full issue of Madame Mirage #1 on Newsarama. Link
    The original solicitation for the series first issue read:

    Madame Mirage #1

    (W) Paul Dini (A) Kenneth Rocafort (Cov) Greg Horn, Rocafort

    Superstar writer Paul Dini (52, Lost) makes an explosive return to Top Cow in 2007 when he brings brand new character Madame Mirage to the Top Cow!

    But who is this beautiful woman who appears out of the mist? As deadly as she is beautiful, she is cutting a bloody path through the city's villains, who now wear suits and have "legitimate" businesses. But who is her ultimate prey? And how does this Mirage take form? And why is her destiny and that of her sidekick Harper so irrevocably entwined? These and many other questions will be asked along with the most pivotal question of all – Who is Madame Mirage?

    Dini weaves a tale of murder, intrigue and revenge in a world of high-tech espionage and treachery. Joining Dini is rising artistic star, Kenneth Rocafort (Hunter-Killer) with his atmospheric and kinetic style. The first issue features two covers by sensual cover artist Greg Horn (Superman Returns, She-Hulk) as well as a stunning cover by series artist Rocafort. Madame Mirage – you'll never forget her… if you can make her acquaintance and live to tell the tale…

    wwtMask and I have been reading this series, and it's actually very cool--especially once you understand the "design" of Madame Mirage herself and the whole story behind it that is explained in issue 3. I suggest you check this out, and check out 2, 3, and when it comes out, 4.

    1985 is very ambiguous. It started out as some merger of photo realism with comics in a Marvels style real world setting (or something, it's very vague) and as of the last Comic-con, there's not much else known about it except the photo stuff was dropped. IGN has a preview here.

    Here's a couple of the newest images.
    198520070810112347004sv5.jpg

    198520070810112348770bn6.jpg

    And here's some of the old 'photo' images.
    19852gh0.jpg

    19853fw7.jpg

    Note the difference in the Hulk shots in the old and new. I believe those are the same images in different styles.

    So, what's it about? It's about the year 1985, Marvels-style perspective (man on the street) and may or may not deal with the Marvel Universe. Some images make it look like it's comic creators (one preview image has guys working at a drawing board). So it could be about people in that time and the affect of super heroes and comic books or it could just be a random image and its actually about the 1985 time period of the Marvel Universe. I honestly don't know at this point.

    Well, apparently Sean McKeever can't write two books at once, so he's leaving Birds of Prey.

    Oh well, hopefully they'll put Tony Bedard back on, his fill ins were just as enjoyable as Gail's work. I'm sure Gail is still out of the question, as she has the yet unanounced project to work on.
