Marvel August Solicits

[TheCorpulent1]

In fairness, Dark Reign is basically a status quo for the whole Marvel universe, not an event.

I should also add that so far all of the Blackest Night tie-ins make sense. You have the ones with the big characters: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. The ones that are necessary like Titans and JSA. And the ones that are part of ongoings but thinking about it still makes sense R.E.B.E.L.S. and Adventure Comics.

Who the hell wants to read Dark Reign books for Zodiac and the Lethal Legion?

True, but it's still overly ****ed out.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

A bit. But it's not like you have to read any of the Dark Reign comics or any of the Blackest Night comics. All you really need to know for Dark Reign is that Norman Osborn basically runs everything dealing with superhumans in the USA right now, and all you really need to know for Blackest Night is right there in the tagline: "the dead will rise."

Brubaker and Hitch's "Reborn" mini is about [blackout]the return of the original Human Torch.[/blackout] One of Marvel's other solicits spoiled that.

Certainly makes sense, given everything else Marvel is doing this year.

Oh really? That's cool. i absolutely LOVE that character!

I figured it was just going to be another re-hashed Daredevil story, lol...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder what they'll do with him this time around.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I might pick up BN: Titans but I'm not touching that Batman one

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'll probably just stick to the main BN mini-series and GLC, myself. Maybe I'll pick up GL for the duration of the event, but I'll have to think about it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Didn't know you didn't buy GL lol

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nope. GLC's enough for me.

 

[moraldeficiency]

The titans one is the only one I'm interested. BL Graysons? That's the threat? Seriously? I'm surprised they're not resurecting Bruce's parent's instead. Actually if they hadn't brought back todd, this would be a good story for that.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, and his return might've actually been worthwhile. Instead we've got the moron without a cause.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Oh, maybe Barry's parents can come back so he can stop being a dick?

Maaaaan...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Or maybe his dad can come back so he can beat him back to death, since Barry's Mr. Black-and-White now.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Hal needed a vacation

 

[CaptainCanada]

Weird, I don't see Captain America or Reborn there. The former hasn't missed a month in at least two years (and that was because of Fallen Son), the latter just started in July.

Reborn #2 is on there, it just hasn't given it's solicit yet.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The full solicits are up on Marvel's website and Reborn is there but Cap still isn't. Maybe it fell behind again.

This sounds fun:

Shame there's no Thor/Herc or Herc/Black Knight, but the ones they do have are cool.

 

[The Mighty Thor]

Shame there's no Thor/Herc or Herc/Black Knight, but the ones they do have are cool.

Hercules and Black Knight should have their own monthly. Actually, now that the awesome Captain Britain & MI13 is regrettably winding down, they should throw Dane into The Incredible Herc.

I'm still wishing we would get a mini reuniting Wonder Man and Beast...those two were awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wonder Man should be the muscle for Beast's geek squad.

 

[CaptainCanada]

I'm still wishing we would get a mini reuniting Wonder Man and Beast...those two were awesome.

I hope not; those stories almost inevitably turn Beast into a moron.

That sounds like a great collection I just wish the didn't title Bromance

Don't be a bromophobe, it's a hate crime.
