    Astonishing Tales #6 has a Sabra story in it. Mossad mutant superheroine? I'm sold.

    Whoa. Marvel Zombies 4 #4 seems to have a hell of a spoiler in the solicit:
    The Midnight Sons battle against the terrifying new mutation of the zombie virus side-by-side with...The Hood! Why does the trigger-happy Cabal member now fight for humanity? Could it have anything to do with the fact the dread Dormammu has abandoned him for a new, even more powerful minion? Or the frightening fact that the plague of undead is going to lay waste to the entire Marvel Universe?
    Also, Jennifer Kale is fucking stacked.

    Note the Deadpool: Merc With A Mouth solicit. The Marvel Zombies virus is now a fixture in 616, but since no power players have been infected, it's remained isolated. God help us if Reed ever discovers it. D:

    The Millar & Hitch run on FF capped off with a story co-written by Joe Ahearne with Stuart Immonen on pencils. *snicker*

    War Machine is totally a 90's book complete with emo brooding but that cover is awesome.

    Can't help but notice the lack of Ultimate comic solicits unless you count the Requiem titles. Thanks for delaying an entire relaunch Finch.

    I think it was supposed to relaunch in July, at least USM vol. 2 was. We still don't even know the elusive 4th ongoing UC book that's more than likely UXM vol. 2. There's also a Jeph Loeb/Art Adams project that is Ultimate comics related that we don't know much about although I hope its Frank Cho and Adams teaming up on New Ultimates so the book will actually come out on time. At least they kept up a monthly schedule on Hulk.

    Marvel's reprint policy now amounts to "when enough retailers tell us to put something out."

    They had it bass-ackwards for a while, heavily printing the first trade and most recent trade of say, Ultimate Spider-Man, but ignoring the trades in the middle that would foster continued sales. People like following things in order, and if they're stuck waiting for a while for vol. 9, they might not go straight to 10 but rather just lose interest.

    Also, this is an awesome cover:

    MARVEL ADVENTURES SUPER HEROES #13
    Written by PAUL TOBIN
    Penciled by MARCELO DICHIARA
    Cover by PATRICK SHERBERGER
    Bulldogs are about the best dogs in the world. Everyone knows that. But when the Leader decides to use a robotic bulldog to steal all of SHIELD's private files, it's up to She-Hulk, Spider-Man and Tigra to clean up after the dog!
    32 PGS./All Ages ...$2.99

    Sherberger has a cool art style, like Skottie Young and Ramos put together. He would work really well on a Young Avengers or Newxtwave-type fun book.

    And the Ross ASM #600 cover is too red.

    The x-men story is their continued whoring out of Deadpool, I think.

    Yeah, that's kind of strange. He's essentially getting two ongoings for at least the rest of the year, with limited after limited blowing past.

    I find this amusing since so many GVers love Deadpool that now people are surprised that he's being whored out like Wolverine.

    Unless Dark Reign ends with the creation of the Old Man Logan universe I fail to see the point.

    It's the same as wolverine.

    He's a good character in certain contexts, but when you whore him this much, he ends up in a bunch of books with no real continuity or story progression between any of them.

    I feel sorry for the dude that actually picks up all the Wolverine titles on a monthly basis.

    I'm really surprised to see Greg Pak move on from Skaar. I kind of took that as his pet book. I figured he'd drop Hercules or War Machine. Though Skaar's been sliding down the sales chart, so maybe that was a contributing factor.

    I wouldn't be surprised. It's also probably a good way to test writers. You fuck up a one-note character and you're done. Which is my guess why there were Punisher MAX one-shots last year, too.

    But, yeah. I could totally see someone at Marvel tossing one at a writer who needs some quick extra cash. Easy money for both.
