Here are the advanced Marvel solicits for January. I'll update the thread when full solicits are out.

X solicits: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23357

Ultimate solicits: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23354

Advanced solicits at Newsarama: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/091020-marvel-january-2010-solicitations.html

When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    So the question of what happens with Agents of Atlas gets answered: another vs. mini, plus Bob gets a mini. I like that they're trying to raise the Agents' profiles, hopefully in anticipation of a third series that will finally get the respect it deserves.

    That cover is a nice one drawn but it's drawn by the Dodsons, not Land.


    The SWORD #3 cover gets my highest rating ever though, 7 out of 10.

    So the newly added issue 6 of Reborn, which is supposed to be the last issue, comes out in January but the epilogue issue comes out in December? Maybe the "Who gets the Shield" issue isn't an epilogue?

    AoA is a backup in Herc at least until the Olympus group storyline finishes playing out. I somehow think the agents will have something to do with the World War Hulks event.

    Anyways, I love the cover to the Dark X-Men #3. I always think it's silly when Mystique wear's a goddamn dress when she's kicking ass, so I hope she sticks with it!

    If Jubilee gets her powers back it kind of negates the whole impact M-Day - in a meta sense. So far we've had Ice Man, Magneto, Polaris and a few others get their powers back. It's kind of hard, as a reader, to be invested in that plot point when writers can just decide to give powers back to people.

    That being said, it's just a cover. Also, I don't really care that much either way.

    He actually revealed that he was working on projects featuring the various Agents during his interview at War Rocket Ajax. Which, by the way, is a pretty great podcast. Colleen Coover has a pretty great interview on there too. Parker also states that two things he wants to see disappear from comics are rape and death-driven stories, forever cementing him as my number one man-crush in comics.

    Wait, wait, is rape actually a way to drive stories in comics? I thought that was just the way that people pitched shitty Wonder Woman stories.
