Daredevil #1 and Ghost Rider #1!

Wolverine by Jason Aaron Omnibus Vol. 1, X-Men by Claremont and Lee Omnibus Vol. 1!

FF: 1234 gets the premiere hardcover treatment!

And a lot of Fear Itself tie-ins!

Quick question: Who is Rob Williams and why is he writing so many books?

    Rob Williams wrote that Shadowland Ghost Rider one-shot, that's all I know, but he's ballooned almost as fast as Nick Spencer has.

    Fear Itself #4, everything written has been said before. And damn, way too many tie-ins. This seems to be Civil War/Secret Invasion levels now.

    Ultimate Fallout makes me think the Ultimate line gets relaunched.......again.

    Defenders: from the vault looks interesting. Busiek/Nicieza/Bagley is a winning team.

    Wolverine/Black Cat: Claws 2? Didn't know the first one did well enough to get a sequel.

    And Amazing Spider-Man, it feels like they're just throwing out artists on the book again. They were supposed to have Ramos, Caselli, and Martin rotate but Martin left before he began pretty much, and there have been some plug-ins.

    I don't really see anything worthwhile, and Greg Land is back on Uncanny.

    Maybe try out Brilliant #1, and FF #6 & 7 look worthwhile.

    I'll probably try Ghost Rider #1. Matthew Clark's done well on Doom Patrol, and Rob Williams wrote some good Deadpool stuff. I think it'll be a good fit.

    Ohhh, shit, Gargoyle's in Heroes for Hire. I have to buy that now, I love that dude.

    Chris Bachalo's drawing The Avengers? I bet he'll draw an awesome Red Hulk. Speaking of Red Hulk, I hope Patrick Zircher kills on that book. You never really know what style he's going to bring, so it'll be interesting to see whether he tries to mimic Hardman, or does his own thing.

    I dig that Iron Man cover. And that Fearsome Four cover's a cool little homage, though not drawn particularly well. David Aja's Red Skull cover's pretty awesome.

    I hope Ka-Zar's good, but Jenkins has a pretty spotty track record.

    All in all, it looks like some interesting stuff is being rolled out, along with a bunch of Fear Itself stuff I don't particularly care about, but will read if it's by creators I like.

    Argh...I'm not happy with this whole American Panther thing. He has a fucking gun in a shoulder holster. What the hell?

    Venom looks good. Ghost Rider looks neat. Charlie Huston writing Wolverine.

    As much as we talk about gun rights, you'd think so.

    As an aside, I approve of your avatar. I have to go watch that show on Netflix.

    Nothing really unexpected. Beyond Fear Itself, FI: Deadpool, and FF, I plan on switching over entirely to trades for Marvel. So, I'm happy to see the wealth of trade material coming out; Hail Hydra, Big Time Volume 1, and some other stuff.

    The only thing surprising at all seems to be Ultimate Fallout.

    That is a lot of Fear Itself tie-ins, but it doesn't really affect me since I'm following Fear Itself. If the stories are good I would love to have some tie-ins to enrich the main story, and there are some fantastic creative teams on them.

    I do understand how someone not following Fear Itself could be ticked off though since most of Marvel's ongoing are tying in.

    Hmm I wonder if with Spencer and Hickman writing ultimate fallout, they'll be writing New ultimate ongoings when it has the soft relaunch/new status quo thing. Also probably going to get the .1 TPB, since they're all self contained stories.

    You, sir, are a man of taste.

    So Black Bolt is coming back? Here's hoping he gets taken down for not only nearly destroying the universe but also trying to terrigen mist everybody.

    Wait, Alpha Flight is coming back again? What is this, the fourth time? Is it supposed to be an ongoing?

    Actually it was intended as a mini but on CBR there is no 2 (of X) so it looks like it got turned into an ongoing.

    Marvel does that all the time, watch for the issues later on. Thor: Mighty Avenger magically turned into a limited series with #8, same with Doctor Voodoo, Atlas, SWORD, etc.

    But Marvel already announced that it's an 8 issue mini.

    Or at least it's been marked as that in Diamond's retailer information from day 1.

    Yeah, it's the opposite of what they did to TMA and Voodoo.

    They have turned it from a mini TO an ongoing, or at least CBR's solicits have it seem that way.

    Or the intern writing the solicits screwed up.
