    Yes. (Well, at some point. We don't have specific dates for individual issues; some will start in October, others later.)

    Rumored to be the return of Richard Rider.

    I hope new nova doesn't go away. Legacy heroes are neat.

    Oh Ultimates. I'm very pleased that they're putting as little effort as possible into the CW2 crossover and continuing to dance around their grand cosmic plan.
    And Thanos is talking to Conner Sims the Anti-Man about the cosmic jailer, so everything is gonna go straaaight to hell.

    Huh, still no October solicits.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

    I'm starting to suspect they've got something they haven't announced yet for some reason that they want to announce before they release the solicits.

    Nova brought back a character that hasn't been seen in years and I wouldn't have expected him to show up in this book in a million years
    The Captain from Nextwave guest stars as a cynical asshole who gets Sam to question whether being a superhero is worth it while in the midst of CW2

    Holy shit!
    IIRC, Nextwave is the ONLY thing The Captain has ever shown up in.

    Huh. Machine Man is back, Monica has been active for awhile (even directly referencing Nextwave in Mighty Avengers).. Elsa hasn't been in much lately aside from that Secret Wars story.

    Has Boom Boom been in anything lately?

  • DouglasDouglas PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that character was exclusive to Nextwave.

    I feel like Boom-Boom showed up somewhere in Marvel NOW! but I can't remember where.

    I've seen plenty of people that have gone "there are real people that actually had an impact on Brooklyn that should be way ahead of a fictional character in the statue line"

    I don't think there is an actual statue line or anyone that this cut in front of

    Like

    Marvel paid for the statue and made a deal with Brooklyn

    Also there are loads of statues of fictional characters basically everywhere

    I wish they had gone with the classic Kirby design, though.

    While true that there are plenty of real life people who deserve a statue, Captain America has also been an inspirational figure for loads of people and has had a significant positive impact on the world and is worthy of celebration, too. It's the age old thing where this positive thing doesn't take away from other potentially positive things that can happen. It's fine to use this statue as a platform to talk about other people who deserve recognition, but I feel doing so in a way that complains about it undercuts that message somewhat.

    2 days after it's finished someone will have 3D scanned it and put it on Thingiverse and Shapeways.

    Caught up on some comics

    Ultimates
    I need an entire comic that's the Adventures of Lifebringer Galactus.

    New Avengers
    They revealed that if Pod leaves her suit, then the AI portion "resets" and essentially dies. I'm guessing that might explain the new version. Also Ultimate Reed is a sumbitch.

    Venom
    They're kinda setting up Flash and the Symbiote to be separated already.

    Contest of Champions wrapped up pretty well

    I really hope that the new super team that forms at the end sticks around and appears in one of Ewing's other books
    Outlaw, Guillotine, White Fox, Ares and Stick

    I thought Stick died. How did he get around that?

    Saves the effort to throw 12 individual issues into a garbage fire when you can just throw 1 book for the same effect, I guess.

    Dear Lord, let it be true.

    Please bring back my favourite character.

    I never really got into Sam as Nova, it felt like a retread of Richard's early years.

    I mean it was fun, but post annihilation wave Nova was better.

    Probably, Marvel Legends figures usually have swappable bits

    My Iron Fist figure has like 8 different hands

    Figure tends to mean a shitload of modular parts.
    Statue tends to mean unmodular.

    Heads up to anyone who wants to bargain hunt some cheap comics

    Hastings is going to close all stores by October and will begin going out of business sales soon

    They apparently owe Funko Pop 2.5 million dollars
