July solicits are out: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=25851

Holy christ are there a lot of good looking books out in July. They weren't kidding when they said they'd let different corners of the Marvel Universe do their own thing.

When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    Couple of Things:
    Electric Ant lost an issue, from 5 to 4. Kind of a bummer, because only one issue is out, and it was fantastic.

    Thor: Wtf? What happened to Fraction? I like Kieron Gillen, but I really get bugged by last-minute writer shuffles, which have been a lot more prominent with DC recently.

    So.
    YOUNG ALLIES #2
    Written by SEAN MCKEEVER
    Penciled by DAVID BALDEON
    Cover by DAVID LAFUENTE
    Still reeling from the events of last issue, the Young Allies are desperate to hunt down the Bastards of Evil by any means necessary--even if it means taking on their parents!--while the Bastards are up for a little hunting trip of their own...

    plus the cover
    148_YOUNG_ALLIES_2.jpg

    equals 616 version of Aftershock?

    Nah, June's issue is Fraction.

    Another interesting thing: No solicits for Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, or Ultimate Comics Spider-Man?

    They're on hiatus (that is, they're being cancelled for poor sales and if they come back it will be with new #1s next year) until the Thanos Imperative is completed in the fall.


    Anyway, my thoughts.
    NEW AVENGERS #2

    This is a story that wlll completely reinvent the rules of magic in the Marvel Universe and have long- lasting effects on a handful of your favorite Marvel characters

    I love this description. "Everything changes! For a couple of characters you couldn't care less about."
    CAPTAIN AMERICA #608

    And neither Bucky Barnes, or the readers will believe Zemo's last page revelation!
    Dad's alive. Shock of shocks. Internet cracks. Etc. Etc.
    DAREDEVIL #508

    Matt Murdock has long played judge and jury to criminals as Daredevil, but has he now become executioner as well?
    I find it impossible to believe that Matt hasn't read St. Thomas Aquinas' writings on just war. But he'll never kill Bullseye because he's Matt effing Murdock and his religion can only be used one-dimensionally to define him.

    I like Mattina's Moon Knight cover featuring the Secret Avengers.
    WORLD WAR HULKS: SPIDER-MAN VS. THOR #1 & 2 (of 2)
    What the Hell? The whole Hulk franchise is insane.
    SUPER HEROES #4

    Kraven is hunting what might possibly be the world's Most Dangerous Prey, and what is certainly the most annoying... a certain Merc with a Mouth.
    Oh, come on!
    THOR THE MIGHTY AVENGER #1 & #2

    Pencils & Cover by CHRIS SAMNEE
    Art. Love it.

    Oh, and here's that awesome Djurdjevic poster from the June solicits.
    AVENGERS HEROIC AGE BY MARKO DJURDJEVIC POSTER

    These are things that save me money.

    I approve.

    Maybe I'll read the Thanos book, and then go in on the new Nova and GotG.

    The prices on Marvel's hardcovers, particularly for their omnibus and older series releases, are getting pretty out of control, and they're waiting longer to put the bigger stories into trades as well.

    Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine is bi-monthly, that's not really how you create reader friendly accessible books (because it's only accessible half the year hurp de durpie durp)

    I'm so cranky about Brubaker's Zemo story it just seems to sound worse the more pieces on info trickle out (basically what Crimsondude wrote)

    I do love this GnR homage though:

    30_DEADPOOL_CORPS_4.jpg


    And Clay Mann is back on Legacy, good choice. And could it be, could it be, Land is finally off Uncanny with Portacio taking his place?

    Also I can't wait until this Zemo story is over so people can stop bitching about it.

    And the Nomad backup will still be going? I thought that was ending when Young Allies starts

    Team-Up's a book I buy depending entirely on who's writing and guesting that issue. Mr. X + Frank Tieri?

    Thank you, no.

    I'm not bothering with DP Corps because honestly, Liefeld's art just doesn't do it for me. But Swierczynski's mini looks fun, and he wrote a great Deadpool in the pages of Cable.

    I know, and I would be pissed too if I had any attachment to the character, but from my standpoint the amount of good Brubaker has done is not immediately washed away because he wanted to make a Captain America villain a Captain America villain again.

    Wolverine was originally a Hulk villain, should he leave the X-Men to become a Hulk villain just because that's what he was originally?

    Or Hawkeye originally being an Iron Man villain, should he return to being a villain just to beat up Iron Man with simple arrows even though Tony has really good armor?

    We have to be strong enough to ask questions, Furu.

    That's EXACTLY what it means, because you have no idea what the circumstances of the story are, or how well justified it is within the book. At this point it just looks like you're whining becuase something won't sink up with how YOU think a character should act.

    But Mix Masta, who is more in the wrong?

    The writer who is reverting a character back to his original path from years ago, and not the point where he was left by the previous writer?

    Or the fan who doesn't want the character to go back to start, who would rather they stay on their existing path in character development?

    It's not how we think a character should act, it's how he was acting last we saw him.

    I know it's a difficult concept to grasp, but some people think you should wait until you've read it before you complain about it. Or at least wait until someone else has read it, posted a few scans and informed you of just how outraged you should be.

    And Furu, who is Aftershock and why should I care?

    Aftershock is Electro's daughter in the MC2 universe, first appearing in a McKeever written issue of Spider-Girl

    The implication of the Young Allies fighting Electro is that a 616 version of Aftershock is on the Bastards of Evil

    9 times out of 10, though, the premature reaction proves to have been justified. Comic readers are terrible reactionaries, but comic book writers are also rarely full of surprises.

    Also, if Brubaker had something interesting in store for Zemo, I'm sure he would have at least hinted at it. Instead, he's mostly just referred to the relationship between the original Zemo and Bucky along with his assumption that that would extend to the modern Zemo as well.

    In regards to the solits, I wonder what PAD has in store for that issue of X-Factor.

    i think the character should act a certain way because the last time we saw him, that's how he was acting

    now while it's true that his reverting back could be covered in the story, that doesn't mean i'm not allowed to be skeptical, especially when Bru's interviews on the subject aren't inspiring much confidence

    Zemo is a character i care about, and seeing what seem to be years of slowly built character development just pushed to the wayside because Bru needed a credible villain makes me sad

    The fan who makes these judgments based on hearsay, loose evidence, and a few quotes from an email interview, without even reading the story. That's the point I'm making.
