Why'd they take Dan Ketch's name off the Ghost Rider solicits? He was listed on the Marvel site, but not on the ones on CBR and Newsarama.

[andy khouri]

Solicit images have been formatted correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience, everybody.

I'm with you on that. This could be one seriously bad ass team that won't play around. Love to see them against the Thunderbolts.

Most excited about:
1. X-FACTOR SPECIAL: LAYLA MILLER ONE-SHOT
Life has been incomplete with my Layla Miller infiltrating X-Factor's every move with her grade A snark. Not only that, but where her story was left off was at a very interesting place that I'm very excited to see conclude.

2. RUNAWAYS #1
Finally! Hopefully this run will be as good as I'm hoping it to be.

3. YOUNG X-MEN #5
Looking forward to where this book is really headed after the first arc.

4. X-FACTOR #34
Cool way to bring in potential members into the group. Always love X-Factor.

5 TIE: NEW WARRIORS #15 / SECRET INVASION: X-MEN #1 (of 4)
Mainly for the collection of characters (Wind Dancer/Decibel/Wondra in NW; EVERYONE in SI: X-Men).

Sweet. Runaways is starting in August instead of September. But oh wait, it's release date is only 4 days before September lol...better than nothing I guess.

That is a nasty first cover by Ramos though. I thought he was gonna finally win me over as he seems suited to drawing kids but Nico and Molly aside...not a very dynamic first cover at all. Xavin looks silly, Karolina looks weird and underwhelming and what is that on Victors head?! Also possibly the worst Old Lace I've ever seen...Michael Ryans version is almost indistinguishable from Alphonas with Strains coloring. Oh well.

Overall looks like a great month, the X Books particularly looking the best they have in months.

[Toboe]

Moon Knight facing the Thuinderbolts? This is going to be hardcore!

Iron Fist's solicit sounds interesting, and that's a cool cover. I'm glad we're getting a retelling of his origins by Fraction, it's a good month for Danny.

Really looking forward to the Runaways relaunch, can't wait to have them on a regular basis.

And is Daredevil's Big Ben Donovan Milla's relative or just a coincidence?

[DeathSentence]

I am missing the Hulk. I've been enjoying Incredible Hercules and Loebs Hulk. I look forward to Skaar. But I'd really like to see Hulk (and Banner) in the forefront again soon.

BETA RAY BILL. dlskaj;fgjhlsfg;ksfg;skhg;ksgh;jkfhd YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!!!

Between that and X-Men Origins: Jean Grey, August CANNOT come sooner enough.

[protege]

I'm loving the cover to the Last Defenders' final issue!

I'm loving the final team!

I'm loving Nighthawk's and Son of Satan's new looks!

I just love the Last Defenders!

I'm not- what's Krang doing there?

[Comet Man]

I much prefer Son of Satan in costume if he's going to be playing at the superhero game, which I'm glad he is. I'm betting he's going to be a pretty ruthless superhero though, and it'll be fun seeing him try to contain his very dark side.

As far as Nighthawk goes, I really don't get what you're saying. A McDonalds drive-thru? Huh? I think this costume makes him look more intimidating with the way the mouth is covered, and I like the color scheme better.

I'm not- what's Krang doing there?

Well if you have been reading the series you'd know that wouldn't you?

[drwho]

All the Secret Invasion tie ins look great. God damn it I might even have to pay for the Spiderman tbolts story as well as the Moon Knight one.

Well, i HAVE been, but last time i checked, Krang was a BAD GUY.

[Deep_Sleeper]

Umm...wasn't Adrian Alphona supposed to be drawing Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane?

What happened?

[Comet Man]

Well, i HAVE been, but last time i checked, Krang was a BAD GUY.

So were all the Thunderbolts. That's a trend today to make heroes out of the bad guys. Doesn't surprise me at all.

[drwho]

All the updated costumes in Last Defenders look dreadful in my opinion.
