The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The art really bugs me in the Punisher image. I'm really not sure what it is.
Edit: Also, what the fuck are Ms. Marvel and Wonderman (in his faaaabulous get up) doing? Is this a fight or Wonder Twin powers activate?
I'd hate to be Simon if it IS a fight.
"Carol, I'm gonna hit you so hard your grandkids will have brain damage!"
"Simon, I absorb energy."
"I...Uh oh."
Vindicator will you ever change your costume? I think that's why he's crying?
If they want to make "Omega Flight" worth buying sticking to the same old Alpha Flight shtic isn't the way to go. If that was a good idea there would still be an Alpha Flight comic out and they wouldn't be starting over again with Omega.
I'm enjoying most of the artwork on these covers, maybe three of them leave me cold.
I can't believe June is almost here, time is accelerating and sadly my wallet isn't keeping pace!

The link in the OP says that Wonderman is being controled by MODOK. I guess that's cool, except that, you know, MODOK is supposed to be a genius and therefore probably shouldn't be picking an energy-based fighter to kill Ms. Marvel.
Also, that Mighty Avengers cover is pretty rad. I sure loves me some Ares.
Also, here's my obligitory question for a preview thread: So what's Humbug's deal? Can he control bugs or something? Does his robot suit make him extra-strong? Because the reason I ask is, I don't see how Miek and the Brood thing won't stomp his lame, ant-man poser ass.
The punishers new look sucks. The colors, the boots (especially) the stupid eye goggle thingies. One big mistake. And why is he fighting a nazi? Not that you need a reason to fight a Nazi I'm just curious.
*Sees this going the way of the Superman wannabe's* Bucky, Punisher, god knows who will come out looking/representing cap next.

Well it looks like Ghost Rider is going to get himself some in the Planet Hulk story line...course I would have loved to see anyone tell him he had to register in civil war.
I wanna see what happens if the hulk gets hit with the penance stare.

Didn't you notice the mask? He's Captain America now! Captain America always fights Nazis.

Because it's beefy and static?
The two of them look like they were drawn separately, then overlapped. I think my least favorite thing about the cover is the similarities in costume design. I mean, is there an internationally themed costume shop that only sells one design for huge, overly-beefy dudes? It makes me wonder if Frank can handle a costume faux pas since he's not a cape. Maybe it'll just make him murder more.
FUCKING CURL UP AND DIE, MICHAEL TURNER! GOD DAMN IT..
What a nice thing to say about a guy who's been fighting cancer for the last three years, especially because you don't like the way he draws your imaginary superhero friends.
Seriously, can we stop complaining about creators for like two minutes?
I like how it looks like Winter Solider is going to take the more stright forward Cap approach and we still get to see Punisher killing people in the name of the USA. Makes me proud to be a comic reader.
I can see someone looking at "Cap" and being like "Wheres your shield?"
Seriously, can we stop complaining about creators for like two minutes?
What has he created in the past five years, exactly?
The real question is, what the fuck does it matter? Why does five years matter? He's still created plenty of shit, and his covers don't look so bad that you have to be fucking dumbfuck. Who cares, it's a damn cover to a comic book that, at most, costs 3$.
Because people complaining about people complaining about creators are less annoying than people complaining about creators. People aren't going to stop complaining about Michael Turner whoever else the hated artist du jour is.
Anyway, Marvel seems to be doing a pretty good job of choosing artists that fit the niches the books occupy. It's pretty cool that it's not all the same art style across the board. That Iron Man cover makes me want to try Painter.
I don't think we're meant to take Captain Punisher seriously. I mean, War Journal is 50% humor.

LOL That cover of the new Guardian reminds me of those crying native American images.
"Why must you leave broken glass in the river we drink from. WHY!?!"

He can mentally communicate with and thereby control bugs, yes, though it usually seems to be more like he's asking them to help rather than commanding them, at least to me. Though it makes mention of 'amplified powers', which I don't think has actually occurred in the comic yet, so we'll have to see.
Edit: for a minute I thought the StarkBots on the Mighty Avengers cover were the Stuart Clarke mini-bots making an appearance from Punisher War Journal. Plus, has Sentry really had so much of a life yet that it needs to change ... FOREVER! so soon?

Also, since Miek and the Brood are insectoid, and Humbug won't be totally outmatched. Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to those issues quite a bit.
I actually quite like Humbug too, so I'll get them also.
(I was very sad to hear Misty diss Humbug in the last issue, I really thought there was potential there.)
Um, no. Misty and Iron Fist have a thing. Humbug...I dunno, he's gonna strike out with the girls on the team. Tarantula's got her eyes on Shang Chi, Misty's taken, and Black Cat and Colleen seem pretty uninterested.
Actually went all the way to Marvel's site thanks to a post at Newsarama. Take a look at the covers for the three main Spider-Man books in June.
Is it bad that I can't tell which cover is for which book? I'm starting to wonder if I should get Sensasational along with Amazing and Friendly Neighborhood...

Why not just save the time and burn your money, Marvel?
What are you talking about here?

Honestly, the man does nothing but covers now, and he can't even manage to make a single one that looks somewhat decent.

Then Frank blows their head off.
Also horrary for Planet Hulk.
Hmmm. StarkBots? Tony really is stealing Doom's style!

Her bracelets shoot her zipline thing and her widow's bite electric shock, so maybe they got upgraded with more functions?
Oh I thought that was debris from Ares' axerape to the Iron Man suit.
Hulk smashing Iron Man robot gave me an erection, though.
"Why must you leave broken glass in the river we drink from. WHY!?!"
Yeahbuhwhat?! O_o
