Gods. Hitman Monkey.

Caveman Paws

So apparently Magneto has reached full buddha according to that uncanny cover. And that Pixie book sounds awful. Xforce: Warpath and wolverine look kinda girly. And Dark X-Men isn't going the way I feared so ya!

Golden Yak

Ultimate Spidey #7 cover is beautiful.

Faynor

Doom's "No, not my crotch!" expression is pretty tops.

TexiKen

Pixie's dad is probably Black Tom.

CP Smith is doing some work again, that's cool. I like his art.

DARK X-MEN #4 (of 5)
Written by PAUL CORNELL
Penciled by LEONARD KIRK
Cover by MIKE CHOI
What has X-Man done to Norman Osborn? Whatever it is, it must be extreme because the Dark X-Men are making a journey into Osborn’s mind to fix it! But once they’re in, can they survive the depths of madness they find in the dark corners of Norman’s mental minefield?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
"'These are my all-new, all-different X Men,' Professor Xavier said."
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99

This literally sounds like the best thing ever. I hope they get attacked by a pregnant Gwen Stacy wearing a Goblin outfit or something.

They are so going to have to confront the Goblin persona head on, that will be delightful. Going to be this all over again.

You know, people can complain about Deadpool's overexposure all they want, but if they keep having him fight monkeys in suits, and teaming up with U.S. Archer to fight anthropomorphic redneck raccoons, I'm gonna keep buying his books.

NEW MUTANTS #10
Written by ZEB WELLS
Penciled by PAUL DAVIDSON
Cover by ADAM KUBERT
Special Variant by TBA
Why do the New Mutants exist? Why are they a team? Cyclops runs the X-Men as one giant army, not separate squads. So, why do the New Mutants exist as a squad? The answer isn’t what you expect.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

I too often ask myself this.

And on a not being-mean-to-New Mutants note: It honestly surprised me that it took this long for someone to bring Proteus back

Colleen Coover art! And get it, tails! Ha!


Going by solicits, Moon Knight (Marvel's Batman) is now fighting a bad guy called Scarecrow. Come on.

jkylefulton

Marvel has had a Scarecrow of its own for a long time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarecrow_(Marvel_Comics)

TexiKen

DC beat them like 20 years earlier it seems.

jkylefulton

Right - but they've still had their own version for 45+ years.

TexiKen

Bah, Moon Knight is Batman-lite. He can go hang out with new Superman-lite some more and talk about being crazy and fall in love like the other Superman-lite and other Batman-lite did in that other comic universe. Vague? I think so too.

And Rich should really stop stealing bandwidth. Tsk tsk.

MARVEL BOY: THE URANIAN #2 (of 3)
Written by JEFF PARKER
Penciled by FELIX RUIZ
Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC
From fan-favorite writer of X-MEN VS. AGENTS OF ALTAS comes a look back at the birth of one of Atlas’ strangest heroes…the mysterious Uranian! Bob Grayson is starting to get the hang of super-heroing, but who is he doing this for? Does the Uranian Council really want to help our world – and are we even worth saving? Experience the Marvel Universe of the 50s through the eyes of the original Marvel Boy! PLUS: re-presenting selections from Marvel’s vault of Golden Age Marvel Boy classics!
40 PGS./New and Reprint/Rated T+ …$3.99

I didn't even see this solicited last month, but it looks worthwhile.

Faynor

This should actually have covers and such.

Solar

Saw the solicit for DA #14. I have chosen to be cautiously optimistic rather than depressed.

Faynor

I love this cover because homages rock, but why is Colossus wearing his Ultimate costume?

Solar

Because he wants to. Do not question Russian organic steel man, he does as he wills.

NOVA #34
Written by DAN ABNETT & ANDY LANNING
Penciled by ANDREA DI VITO
Cover by BRANDON PETERSON
Special Variant by TBA
A REALM OF KINGS TIE-IN—GUEST-STARRING MR. FANTASTIC AND BLACK BOLT! On a world of dark sorcery, Nova and his surprising allies battle the ancient evil of the Sphinx, but what are they really fighting for? The Human Rocket could rewrite the course of history and save thousands of lives—including the life of his true love. But should he, or is the alternative too terrible to contemplate? Classic foes, great guest-stars and more cosmic thrills await you in the next issue of the series that Aint It Cool News calls “Bar none, one of the consistently best comics Marvel puts out…Those of you who aren’t checking this one out should be ashamed of yourselves."
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Already? Hm.

jkylefulton

He's already on the cover of Nova #33.

Solar

And who's his "true love?" Guess it could be Namorita, I haven't read any of his stuff before Annihilation so a don't know about his time in the New Warriors. Gamora aint dead either, so far as I'm aware.

She died to Adam Warlock(well Magnus) in GotG last issue

Solar

Yeah, just found that out.

I do hope she comes back, she's a cool character and her relationship with Nova was always fun.

Be interesting to see where they take GotG since you know

like 60% of the team is dead now

wirehead26

Damn you Marvel for releasing ultimate collections for Cable vs. Deadpool AND Nextwave. My wallet hates you.

Solar

Well, the front cover of Gotg #23 shows...

Magus with a really nasty grin on his face, so he's probably coming back. Now, if he's coming back, it seems likely to me that Cosmo, Mantis, Gamora and Matyr could return to us as well (did I miss anybody out there?)

Vance Astro

Also gonna grab that Pixie mini just to see how bad it is

jkylefulton

I can't imagine DnA not bringing those characters back at some point soon.

Virral

I notice that Cable #23 is the "penultimate issue". Hopefully that means that with #24 they'll be bringing Hope back to present day and finally resolving the issue of who she is once and for all.

They couldn't make her Jean after all this time, could they?

Guys?

Faynor

Virral have you been living under a rock?

Second Coming is going to do just that!

Virral

I do my best to live under a rock, so I get as little spoilers as possible from shit I won't read for six months after everyone else does if that!

*grumbles about something from GotG getting spoiled in a tag about Nova*

TexiKen

Solicits do spoil stuff too easily. EIther make Jeff Parker write them all or get a better editor to do so. Like the Nova solicit could have easily said "guest starring members of the FF and Inhumans" to keep it vague.

Rans

pretty interesting that they're tying Son of Hulk into the rest of the cosmic stuff with Realm of Kings

guess i'll be getting all of those Son of Hulk trades after all

About that Nova Cover

We do not know whether if its the actual black bolt or just a echo of him coming from the fault. The issue before the feb tells a little about that.

They better not, that would be rather disappointing after everything they've done.

Owenashi

Looks like there's indeed a reason behind the recent Clone Saga mini-series.

kdrudy

Sweet, an all new tale of Mary Jane

Whatever you liked it. Also start catching up or something

Man, between this, the Models Inc. and House of M: Masters of Evil TPBs, and the deluxe hardcovers for Invincible Iron Man, Cable and Deadpool, and Nextwave, Marvel's going to be getting a lot of my money in February.

wirehead26

Good Lord that Iron Man collection is a great deal. 19 issues for $40 retail? I'm tempted to try and sell my single issues just to pick that up.
