Marvel December 2009 Solicitations

[Tron Bonne]

Just thought I would go ahead and make this one, too. I mean, why not, you know, why not? It won't be too much longer, I assume, before the X-previews and general ones pop up

Not even sure why they bother giving out Ultimate previews early anymore, it's only three titles, one of which is ending.

 

[Dread]

Marvel still views the Ultimate line as important. They've paired down the ongoing titles (from four to two) and the relaunches of USM and Ultimate Avengers sold well in August. I won't bother.

INCREDIBLE HERCULES looks good. Hopefully the new attention will add some more readers to such a great book.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Couldn't care less about those Ultimate solicits. That universe is dead to me until the F4 and X-Men come back.

 

[Drz]

You guys' should check out Millar's Ultimate Avengers, but hey each for their own. I love the cover for Ultimate Avengers #5

Count me in. I love Herc in MA so I'm excited to try him out with all his guest stars.

I refuse to read Ultimates 3 or ultimatum, and because of my anal I have to read all set up to enjoy it I can't read Ultimate Avengers.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, I'm the same way. I LOVED Ultimates and Ultimates 2 but the sudden switch in art killed Ultimates 3 for me. I thought I'd try Ultimatum and got the first two issues but it was just kinda bad. I debated on getting the rest of them but I was already a bit lost due to all the changes in Ultimates 3, and then I skimmed the last issue and was disgusted by so many things. That killed the faint amount of interest I had in the Ultimate Unierse for me. I haven't even the slightest of curiosity anymore. It's done.

I lost interest when Millar/Land ended their run on UFF.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I was curious about that but never did pick it up. I was an Ultimate X-Men fan from day one through most of Vaughn's work. I eventually dropped it due to financial issues and was surprised to find that I didn't really miss it. I liked the first 2 arcs of UFF but again, coudn't afford to keep going. Never really got into USM. These days, I don't even care to go back and read what I missed.

Here's the Spider-man solicits: http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.9529.FIRST_LOOK~colon~_December_2009_Spidey_Previews

 

[Spider-Jay420]

Definitely getting Amazing, The Gauntlet sounds cool and it's about time we see more classics.

I hope this Clone Saga Re-do thing is good. I wonder how much of it they'll change? At least it's only 4 issues.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I wonder how X-Men: Second Coming is going to play out. And I hope that Cable continues with his role as some sort of savior, because without that role, I find him to be a very boring character.

Spider-Man and The Secret Wars? Another one of those self-contained all age minis I suppose. Might check that out

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I saw Nate Grey and thought it was Jeb Guthrie

 

[Brainiac 8]

I wonder if they remember that Silver Samurai only has one hand, or if that's been forgotten by now.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Yeah, totally upset with all the big prices in the X-Titles. Cable, X-force, and Legacy are $4. X-Factor 200 is $5. I don't care if there's a back story. I don't want to spend these prices and I just flat out can't! This just justifies my choice to drop tons of books at the end of the year. Marvel's squeezing me out month by month and it's ticking me off.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I bet, I may have to ease up on my comic buying too. Not just for price reasons, but I'm running out of space to put 'em

 

[Brainiac 8]

I haven't been reading Cable, but I'll finally pick up the new story just to see the homecoming, which I've been wanting for a while.

So that Cyclops can see that Cable has been raising a very obviously reincarnated Jean Gray.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

...and so Bishop can kill her

 

[JewishHobbit]

But that would make Bishop a bad guy

I'm hoping she goes ape nuts so that Bishop was right all along. It's the only way to begin fixing his character.

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's either she'll become a villian to justify his claims or he stays a villian himself...as it stands it's not looking promising for Bishop.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I want Bishop to be right more than anything in the world haha

 

[TheCorpulent1]

SWORD looks awesome. It's like a mini-Dark Reign in Earth orbit. I love Gyrich, too. He's easily the best of comicdom's morally ambiguous government bureaucrats in my book. Kieron Gillen is a man after my own heart, it seems.

X-Factor back in New York =

Looking forward to what the end result will be with Cap. I could see Steve or Bucky or both remaining Captain America. Either way, I'm sure Brubaker will do them both justice.

What If Thor Participated in World War Hulk is gonna depress me, but I'm sure I'll buy it anyway.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Speaking of Thor, IGN begins to pull back the curtain on SIEGE:
