I lied. It's just a preview of them.
She-Hulk looks intriguing. I'm excited to see Valkyrie and the Invisible Woman alongside She-Hulk. I... actually don't care at all either way about Thundra. But it looks like the team will actually form in Loeb's Hulk series or something. Hopefully PAD will provide a good recap because I don't really want to read another issue of Hulk. Venturing back into that beast for Thor is one thing, but the Lady Liberators? I'd rather just pass and be confused come this She-Hulk issue.
Skaar, on the other hand, looks and sounds pretty cool. I like the Conan-esque feel of the character, and I'm glad Pak's doing more with that gray-skinned kid. I'm very curious about him.
The Ghost Rider stuff looks interesting. I'm really not a fan of how they're playing Dan up as a villain, though. His new look is cool. The prospect of his getting that new look because he's become some kind of mystical power junkie in the wake of his separation from Kale is not. Oh well, Ketch's portrayal will basically determine whether I keep reading Ghost Rider, so I hope Aaron knows what he's doing.
Dead of Night sounds lame. I wouldn't normally comment on it because I try to stay at least slightly positive when I look at previews, but this hits on a particular pet peeve of mine. Taking any random character and placing them in Iraq does not make them magically relevant. It just makes the writer look like he can't grasp the concept of a metaphor. Seriously, enough with Iraq already. It's way too on-the-nose and it's obnoxious. I get enough of that s*** from the news.
Marvel Zombies has kind of a cool premise, if I'm putting two and two together right: the zombies break into the 616-verse and the Initiative decides the best way to handle them is with a gaggle of robotic operatives. Sounds cool (and surprisingly reasonable for the Initiative). I didn't want to get the series, but between Van Lente writing and the fun-sounding premise, I may just buy it after all.
Of course, everyone probably knows I'm all over that Thor one-shot. I wish we could get a Thor issue every week--and given the amount of Thor comics we've got coming, that may very well be where Marvel's heading.
