Marvel December 2009 Solicitations

[CantThinkOfAName]

Nomad's taken, by the way.

Well Im sure Steve can take a name away from a little girl a lot easier than taking it from Bucky

 

[hippie_hunter]

I still don't get why Captain America: Reborn and Who Will Wield the Shield just couldn't be Captain America #602 - 607.

 

[Dread]

I already said that. See:



You should hire me to do your cliff notes.

I didn't read your comments before I posted mine. I just clicked the links and commented. It was an honest duplication.

I still don't get why Captain America: Reborn and Who Will Wield the Shield just couldn't be Captain America #602 - 607.

Because Marvel figures selling this as a separate mini or one shot will move more copies. So far REBORN has sold more than triple what CAPTAIN AMERICA issues usually sold (least before #600). So that's why.

What I don't get is why X-men:Legacy is going to have a Cable back-up when Cable already has his ongoing?Makes no sense to me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Methinks Cable's ongoing is not long for this world.

So you're saying you like 4 of the 6 young people? That's actually pretty good if I say so myself.

And they actually have started paying a LOT of attention to Nick, Dum Dum, and the other older HC's. Heck, I think 3 of the past issues have been almost primarilly about them. The kids have come accross as background characters lately.

Honestly, the book was just okay at first, but right around issue 5 or so it suddenly perked up and now it's been really really good.

Are there only 6 Caterpillars? I thought there were more.

Either way, I'm glad they're focusing more on Nick and Dum Dum. I'm actually going to try and pick up #7 at the shop tomorrow and see if I enjoy it more. If Hickman really is removing the SHIELD = HYDRA thing as a ruse, I'd be totally on board.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah,when Hope/Jean Grey returns to the present, the point of the Cable ongoing is kinda gone.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Eh, I'm still hoping Hope isn't Jean, but just a key to getting Jean back. It'd just be odd and take a lot of explaining to do if she were Jean. Like how the **** they didn't know Jean was going to be the mutant messiah before hand.

 

[venom892]

I don't know everything has been really pointing towards Jean.Hell that Cable cover looks like it has Jean on the cover.Anyone who hasn't been keeping up with X-men ask them who's on the cover they'll say "Cable and Jean".Pretty funny though that Cable has been raising his mother and not noticing.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So, what, she'd be Hope Summers (or have no last name, I guess, since no one knows who her parents are, right?) by name but Jean Grey by personality? Because the X-Men don't have enough wonky character backstories as it is?

 

[venom892]

Well I haven't been reading Cable so I don't know how the whole hope thing is but I'm guessing at some point Hope would get her Jean Grey memories back?

 

[hippie_hunter]

Eh, I'm still hoping Hope isn't Jean, but just a key to getting Jean back. It'd just be odd and take a lot of explaining to do if she were Jean. Like how the **** they didn't know Jean was going to be the mutant messiah before hand.

The last time the main X-Men saw her was when she was an infant and when X-Force encountered her she was still a young child. Along without displaying her mutant powers asides from that one time, just how the hell can you tell it is Jean? To them, Jean Grey is dead and not coming back.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I just don't see how Cable could raise his mother and not notice.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I just don't see how Cable could raise his mother and not notice.

Technically, she's not his mother. Madelyne Pryor is.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Madelyne still looks like Jean. He'd connect the dots.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Madelyne still looks like Jean. He'd connect the dots.

Hope is still a young child over in Cable. Maybe he will eventually connect the dots.

 

[Silver Knight]

Wheres the cover to Skarr?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hope is still a young child over in Cable. Maybe he will eventually connect the dots.

She looks like a teenager in the solicitation. He should be able to recognize her by then.

 

[JewishHobbit]

So if Hope turns out to be Jean and returns and doesn't kill everyone....


Will she join the New X-Men student team?

Rockslide - "Summers! Your wife's hot!"

Elixer - "Dibs."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure I won't care either way.

The full solicitations are up on CBR now. There's literally nothing new except trades, though. I'll be getting the Tales of Asgard hardcover, but that's about it.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Looking forward to the Clone Saga mini.

 

[Silver Knight]

Skarr cover anyone?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What are you talking about? The cover of Incredible Hulk, which Skaar is in, or the cover of Son of Hulk, which used to be called Skaar: Son of Hulk?

 

[Silver Knight]

The cover of Son of Hulk. Sorry.

 

[Noona]

Crystal going to deal with drama in this issue ... I wonder if the accuser will be pissed to see who's back

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Whatever, Crystal and Quicksilver haven't worked since back in the '90s when Crystal was sweating the Black Knight and Quicksilver was off being a *****e and neglecting Crystal and Luna.
