Agents of Atlas sounds ****ing awesome. Bringing back the '50s Avengers is one of the best ideas I've heard from Marvel in a long time.
The solicitation for Marvel Team-Up is funny. "Lesser known heroes Wolverine and Spider-Man..."
I'm almost interested in Moon Knight because of Taskmaster, but the solicitation makes it seem like Taskmaster will be made a chump of once again. It's cool to see him back in his old costume, though.
Runaways' solicitation and cover makes me think Nico's the one who'll die. That kind of sucks.
Young Avengers/Runaways sounds interesting. I don't see how they'd be at odds over the registration, though. Neither team seems too keen on authority or supervision, which is what the bill is all about.
Ms. Marvel's solicitation is kind of cool on the one hand because of Wonder Man's involvement, but on the other hand... "Julia 'Arachne' Carpenter"? Bleh. I know Jessica Drew came before, but Julia Carpenter's always been Spider-Woman to me thanks to Avengers West Coast. Seems lame that she not only has to change her name but change it to something so crappy, no less. I wonder if she gets a new costume to go along with it.
I was going to drop Thunderbolts but I have to admit, Zemo vs. Cap with
Zemo actually on the "right" side this time sounds cool.
Exiles sounds odd. If Bedard plays it for comedy, it could be hilarious. If he tries to be even remotely serious with it, though, it'll probably just annoy me. It looks like the Wolverine from the zombie world that's so inexplicably popular lately will be involved, too.
Goddamnit, I thought I was done with New Excalibur after the first couple issues bored me to tears. A Black Knight cameo means I have to get this arc, though. I wonder if it'd make any difference if I started praying now for Claremont to not **** up the Knight too badly... Awesome cover by Michael Ryan, though.
I wonder how Uncanny X-Men affects Annihilation, given that the Shi'ar empire is supposed to be involved in that somehow, too.
If I didn't know that anything purported to "blow readers' minds" in a Marvel solicitation is nothing but a meaningless platitude, I might have been tempted to get Wolverine: Origins. Luckily I learned that particular lesson a long time ago. I'll probably flip through the issue in the shop to see what Cap's up to in there, though.
Definitely getting that Untold Tales of Spider-Man TPB. It's about time they put one out.
