Comics Marvel July Solicits

Yeah. Only Cassaday can draw Cat Beast well.

 

Gotta say July looks like it'll be a cool month. I'm really looking forward to the Runaways/ Young Avengers crossover for Civil War. Actually I'm looking forward to all things Civil War in general.

The first teaser pages for Uncanny looked good. Polaris is obviously powered up again, but has she regained her powers of magnetism or will she have some new power as a result of whatever happens in The Blood of Apocalypse story?

The cover of adjectiveless has me pretty excited too. I wonder what role Northstar and Aurora are going to play? Are both still brainwashed and evil or...? Doesn't it look like Bachalo has Rogue dressed up in the outfit he drew for her in last year's Age Of Apocalypse 6-issue limited series?

 

I'll put up the X-related covers and solicit info:

They damn well better not kill off Chamber! Haven't they done enough to him already? Bastards.

 

Chamber Is Back Chamber Is Back!!!!! There Is A God!!!!

 

Tieri on New Excalibur = double thumbs up.

And yes, that drawing of Cat Beast is awful. So is the picture of Deadpool. Good lord, ZIRCHER, come back!

The cover to Civil War: X-Men looks sweet, though. A schism between Cyke and Bishop? Nuts. Speaking of Bishop, I miss the homicidal Bishop that we had after AoA converged with normal continuity. And in those pages that are shown... holy crap. Caliban, Shatterstar, and Domino? ! ! ! !

Peter David will be writing Quicksilver again, if possibly only for a bit.

 

Don't. Kill. Chamber.

You already have f***** Gambit, don't f*** Chamber now!!!

That Fairy Tales looks... meh, "curious".

 

Is "Orgins" the 2nd part of Wolvie's book "Orgin"

 

Tieri used Chamber for Weapon X. He was kind of a big player when the book got offed, and he showed back up in the ending mini that came out late last... summer?

I wouldn't be surprised if Chamber gets repowered. I'd condemn Tieri for it, but I wouldn't weep.

 

I agree. But if Quicksilver is going to be offering Rictor the chance to get his powers back, does that mean that Son Of M ends with Quicksilver still in possession of the Terrigen Mists? I hope Marvel doesn't float this mist thing around as an M Day loophole so that whenever they really want a mutant back they send around Quicksilver with the mists. If that's the case get him over to Jubilee and Chamber pronto!
