Maybe the Abomination is no longer Blonsky like the Hulk is no longer Banner.
Anyway, good stuff with the solicitations. They added the baby into the Cable cover, which makes me think that we will indeed be seeing some Lone Cable and Cub action, which is an
awesome concept for him.
Thor's solicit is kind of sparse on info. What I got from it is that maybe Thor's delegation of restoring Asgardians to Heimdall has yielded rather speedy results, since it sounds like all the good parts of the Asgardian civilization have returned by that issue. Thor's mentioned as "ruling over" Asgard, which makes me think Odin still ain't coming back, which is good. Curious about what sort of trouble Oklahoma could be giving Thor.
If someone other than Paul Jenkins were writing that Cap: Mythos comic, I'd probably read it. Alas...
I will, however, be reading my first Fairy Tales mini with Avengers: Fairy Tales. I like the Peter Pan concept, I like Cebulski, and the solicit says Thor is involved, so I'll give it a try.
The next issue of Marvel Atlas isn't out until March? That kind of sucks. I was looking forward to seeing the rest of Marvel's world sooner. But I'm sure the months will pass quickly.
Is there some intrinsic part of being Director of SHIELD that makes everyone who does it into Public Enemy #1 at some point?
Iron Man still sounds pretty good, though. I'll probably pick it up at some point.
Cheung's cover for MCP looks good. That's a really odd assortment of characters.
I'm all over that Secret Invasion Saga one-shot since 1) I've been wondering how the invasion of Earth ties into the Skrulls' near-extinction in Annihilation, and 2) it's free. Can't beat that price.
I'm worried about New Warriors. It honestly sounds like not much will have changed between that issue and where we are now. The series is pretty good, but it needs to do 2 things: 1) pick up the pace, and 2) get a wider variety of characters than just ex-mutants. There are loads of other characters out there, and NW has never been a X-centric series, so I'd hate to see it become one under Grevioux. The prospect of taking on Initiative washouts is an immediately compelling concept too, so it's not like Grevioux is withholding other characters for lack of good story material.
Colossus, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler are a fun trio. That arc should be good, although I'm still getting the feeling that the X-Men are scattered and doing their own thing after MC.
New Exiles sounds terrible already. Poor Grummett.
Heh, the cover to Logan looks great. I love Risso.
Kick-Ass' self-assuredness is sickeningly annoying. I was going to pass on it already; standard practice for a ****ty looking comic written by Millar, no big thing. But I'm actually
looking forward to not reading it now.
I own all the issues of Thor's current relaunch and I bought the reprint of #1-3 to tide me over until #4 a few weeks ago... but I know I'm still going to end up buying that hardcover of the first arc. It's just too damn pretty.
