I believe so, I think Cap 601 is still scheduled to come out during the mini, but besides that issue I think Reborn is taking the main books place until it ends

EXILES #4

UNCANNY X-MEN #513


Exiles and Uncanny X-Men are "maybes" for me. I'm not sure I can afford to keep buying Exiles, and I'm not sure I want to invest in this Dark Avengerbolts/X-Men crossover. If I buy the X-Men side of the Dark Avengers crossover, then I have to start buying Dark Avengers for a few issues, the Dark X-Men issues, and everything will be $3.99.

No, I think I'll be skipping that.

 

[venom892]

I'm Skipping it and I'm happy that Uncanny X-men will go back to 2.99 once the crossover is done.

I may consider Deadpool but for $4 I'm not sure if I want to. We'll see the day of. I need to drop titles so Batman & Robin is on the cutting block, but this is a slower week so I may reconsider when I skim it. Chances are though, I'm not buying it. Captain America: Reborn I'll probably get due to the implications of it, but I can't say that for certain just yet.

Other than that the rest look good. I've been looking forward to Blackest Night for a long while now so GLC has me stoked. And the last few issues have been really good build up as well. War of Kings always has me excited and now I'm looking forward to Gladiator going nuts on people, and I hope on Darkhawk after Ascension showed Chris back in the driving seat right after he killed Lilandra with Gladiator in mid-pounce. I'm curious where Cable goes after Messiah War. And lastly, Uncanny X-Men (for the 2nd week in a row I believe). The price jump puts me in a bad mood but there's no way to drop it for an issue without missing important story so I'm forced to support the crap. So due to price alone, this is the one issue I'm not looking forward to buying and will probably hate the whole time I read it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I'm Skipping it and I'm happy that Uncanny X-men will go back to 2.99 once the crossover is done.

I was actually under the impression that Uncanny is staying $4 ongoing (part of the reason I'm debating dropping the X-Titles soon)?

The solicitation for September's Uncanny X-Men #515 is $2.99. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=21577

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe the person who posted the solicitations f***ed up. Lowering prices on a comic doesn't sound like Marvel.

 

[Manic]

It looks like they're increasing prices for the crossover, then dropping them back down to normal right when they expect sales to slide back down to the 75,000 range.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Hey, I just looked on Marvel.com where I thought I read it was staying $4 and I see that I was wrong. Still crappy of Marvel to raise those two issues, but I've come to expect them to be schlubs.

So I guess when the end of Dark Reign hits it really will be all the Avengers books I drop instead of the X-Titles.

Take at a look at the price tag.Also the reason Merc with a Mouth has a 3.99 price tag is because it comes with a reprint of Deadpool's first appearance.The rest of the issues are 2.99.

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY #8 $4.99 - (Last week's issue was a real disappointment. Only the Spider-Girl story was any good, the other two very lame. Do we really need another sentimental trip down memory lane with Peter and Aunt May??!!?? And, worst of all, for the same price, this title is giving the readers a lot less pages.)
ASTONISHING TALES #6 $3.99 - (Just read issue 2-5...the first tale with Punisher and Wolverine is ok; but Iron Man 2020 is rather boring, and the last one with Mojoworld isn't at all humorous. Heck, in eleven years, Iron Man 2020 will be modern day Iron Man.)

CAPTAIN AMERICA: REBORN #1
DESTROYER #4
FANTASTIC FOUR #568
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #15
WAR OF KINGS #5

A seven comic week on paper, but with three $4 books, I am paying for eight comics, which is higher than my weekly average. The success of CAPTAIN AMERICA #600 on the retailer level is spotty and hardly the response that could compare with Obama-Spidey, but it has seen two prints and likely a spike in sales, and REBORN could possibly ship about as many copies as a typical issue of NEW AVENGERS (which is around 95k). The rate at which we are getting AGENTS OF ATLAS comics is very speedy; it just started a few months ago and already we're at issue #7, after a span of getting 3 issues within 6 weeks recently, with another double-ship month in August.

Plus, WAR OF KINGS. Looks like a solid start to July.
