Havok, Rocket Raccoon AND Groot? Awesome.

[Brett P]

Did they...did they SERIOUSLY just spoil the DEATH of Carol Danvers in a frickin SOLICITATION?! When the book was "classified" in last months solicits?!!

[XPac]

Did they...did they SERIOUSLY just spoil the DEATH of Carol Danvers in a frickin SOLICITATION?! When the book was "classified" in last months solicits?!!

The writer of the book sort of already spoiled it in interviews a while back.

Did they...did they SERIOUSLY just spoil the DEATH of Carol Danvers in a frickin SOLICITATION?! When the book was "classified" in last months solicits?!!

It was already spoiled for everyone.

[Henker]

They're being too upfront about the death anyway. It's probably misdirection more than anything.

[ZeoVGM]

Carol's "death" is obviously not literal. She's in Dark Avengers and will be a big part of the book according to Bendis.

[Evil-Spidey]

First Spider-Man 2099, now X-Men 2099, maybe there's hope for Doom 2099 after all!

[Brett P]

It was already spoiled for everyone.

Well, obviously not. Not everyone wants to know what's coming, hence the fact I steer clear of forums and interviews for the most part. What the hell was the point in classifying last months solicits then?!

Carol's "death" is obviously not literal. She's in Dark Avengers and will be a big part of the book according to Bendis.

I thought they said in NYCC that she was going to New Avengers.

*sigh*

Well, atleast that's one book less I need to get a month. Moonstone?! Can't stand the woman! She's just like Emma Frost...except entirely unlikeable and with Kitty's powers...so wrong.

[Ex_]

Ms. Marvel is Karla Sofen now. Carol Danvers "dies" in the sense that she lets go of that identity. Still in New Avengers.


Did anyone else notice that they called The Hood 'Parker Robinson' in two different solicits? He's Parker Robbins! C'mon! He's only been in like three books!

You BUY Ms. Marvel??!

Its not like it was a secret it wasn't much of a spoiler if its not important.

You don't like Moonstone?

[Leocomix]

The Sentry rips her head off, doesn't he?

[hagiler]

Hooray, finally vol. 9 of essential Spider-Man...

Also: When did Amazing Spider-Man family drop to 64 pages for the same price? That doesn't make much sense... (Well, from the reader's viewpoint, at least.)

[Sugarbombz]

Why is Aegis on the Incredible Hercules cover? Did he die recently?

[blehbeh]

Why is Aegis on the Incredible Hercules cover? Did he die recently?

He's alive as far as I know. Maybe he's a living guest star. If so, awesome random choice. I love this book...

[Expletive Deleted]

He's alive as far as I know. Maybe he's a living guest star.Given that Hera and company are going after Athena and that Aegis is her mortal champion . . . I'm guessing he'll be dying relatively shortly.

[greenshoes713]

The Sentry rips her head off, doesn't he?

No that's Morgana

I don't like Moonstone.


Also, is anyone else ridiculously excited for the new Young Avengers mini?

I'm Super Duper exited!

No Daredevil in May?

Sigh,

[Fantomex80]

The Dark Reign: The Hood solicit mentions his name as being Parker Robinson, not Parker Robbins. Is it normal for the solicit to get this information wrong while being correct in the actual book?

[Ex_]

Two May solicits have it listed as that. I forgot the other one. They'll probably spot it and change it.

[Elayis]

The Sentry rips her head off, doesn't he?

'm pretty sure that was Morgan's head, not Ms. Marvel's.

Oh, and on the Incredible Herc cover, if anyone bothered to read the summary, it stated that Herc is dead and is in Hell, so those are all the ghosts of dead heroes.

Is anyone else pissed that the final chapter to Old Man Logan still isn't out?

Right now I'm averaging about $140 per month, and that's just with Marvel books. So 42 books. Huh. I would be picking up Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, Cable, and X-Force, but I need to catch up. Still haven't read any Cap since I picked up the omnibus, but I guess I'll pick up the next 3 trades, and catch up on the subsequent issues.

Does anybody know when the Kick-Ass trade will be out. I want to read it before the film comes out, but my store is sold out of the single issues. Any info?

haha...the Kick-Ass arc isn't over yet. Once the arc is completed, we'll have an idea when the trade will be out. however, it seems like the issues are perpetually delayed. i love the stuff, but it's best not to wait for it. just put it on your pull list and be surprised when you get it. it's the best way!

[Jimmy Holograph]

No Daredevil in May?

Sigh,
Tom

Yeah, I wondering where its gone as well.
It is supposed to be mid-way through the Return of the Kingpin arc, and Lark isn't usually that slow that he'd need an extra month to keep up.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

[Seraku]

here's hoping we get two issues in June or something

[Sugarbombz]

Picking up:
Ms. Moostone
Dark Avengers
Avengers: The Initiative (for Ramos)
Secret Warriors
DR: Young Avengers
NA: Reunion
NA (might skip this arc tho)
Incredible Hercules

The twelve is on a hiatus for now until JMS can clear his schedule..... Forgot where I read that.

[Jason Michael]

No "Marvels: Eye of the Camera # 6" this month? It's been shipping regularly, hasn't it? Or did I just miss it?
I'm really looking forward to the Black Knight/Yellow Claw Masterwork, and I was going to order the Tales of Asgard series, but noticed it will have "modern coloring". Why? Kirby's art doesn't need anything but flat color. I can't see it selling any better with modern color, either.
