I'm far too lazy too tally the amount of books Parker is writing in comparison to Bendis. Someone do it for me.

[Kylun123]

BLACK PANTHER #12 (not sure what kind of event Doomwar is supposed to be, but if it crosses over with other titles this book will sadly be dropped)
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #22

Trade-Waiting:
THE MARVELOUS LAND OF OZ #3 (of 8)
GHOST RIDERS: HEAVEN'S ON FIRE #6 (of 6)

Dropped b/c of Seige:
FANTASTIC FOUR #575

Looks like a really awesome month!! Can't wait!

[Lu Galasso]

Siege is looking real good. Happy to see an end to all this craziness the past seven years. It's also nice to see Captain America back in the mix immediately after his "rebirth". 2010 is looking to start off on a good note!

What'd I miss? Did Jan return from the dead already?

[Iron Maiden]

Anybody notice the preview text for Thor? It looks like even after the Cabal one shot in December, Loki and Doom are still in Asgard when Siege begins.

THE FINAL BATTLE!
Dr. Doom has committed barbaric atrocities against the Asgardians living in his realm of Latveria. Now Balder has marshaled his forces, and called upon the counsel of his general, Tyr, the God of War. Even the outcast Thor has rallied to the defense of his people. But what secret weapon has Doom wrought with secrets plundered from Asgard?! And whose side is the duplicitous Loki truly on…?

[gacc3000]

CAPTAIN AMERICA #602

TWO AMERICAS begins here. well now we know that bucky is not going away that fast.

I'm utterly amazed that the Asgardians were stupid enough to think moving in with Dr. Doom was a good idea in the first place. If they're that stupid, they frankly deserve to be sieged.

Anyways, Loki must have one hell of a scheme under his belt. Playing Osborn is nothing... but he's playing Dr. Freaking Doom. Loki is definately the star of the Cabal.

[XPac]

CAPTAIN AMERICA #602

TWO AMERICAS begins here. well now we know that bucky is not going away that fast.

He's a great character... I didn't think there was any chance he'd just fade into limbo.

Hopefully he'll get his own book down the line. It's sort of a shame Cap couldn't return a little sooner. I think it would have been cool if they slip the numbering of the book around issue 50/600.... maybe Bucky could continue with 51 and Cap could continue at 601.

[Bic]

I don't know who Abraham Lincoln is going to unload on but I want to read that comic.

This arc probably takes place prior to Siege. I'm betting 607 in Feb will be a Siege tie-in.

I'd like to thank Marvel for uniformly putting "SIEGE" in giant typeface on the respective issues. It makes it that much easier to avoid them when scanning my lcs shelves.

uncanny x-men 520

maybe:

siege 1
nation x: x-factor one-shot

i don't really know how i feel about siege. i don't read any of the avengers books, but i did pick up the main house of m, civil war & secret invasion minis so i feel like if this is the last chapter of those big storylines i should get it. i also really enjoy coipel's work. we'll see. if i do pick it up i'll likely only pick up the main 4 issue series, though.

[gacc3000]

i will also pick up siege because coipel rules, and to see how dark reign ends.

Why is Hulk shooting lasers from his eyes?

Because that's Cosmic Robot Hulk, apparently.

where the hell is MOON KNIGHT? :evilangry:

The same place as Wolverine: First Class, The Torch and Astonishing X-Men, evidently. Nowhere.

[Frostious]

THUNDERBOLTS #140
Thunderbolts vs. Agents of Atlas—round 2! The hunt down in the swamp comes to a head when one of the T-Bolts ends up dead! There's not going to be much time to cope either, because Norman Osborn needs his team of killers ready for a final mission—and this is what he's been saving them for!
"Well sh*t" is pretty much all I got.

That ATI cover is rockin'. Taskmaster must be cursing his job and boss with every single cell in his body.

[ArachnidAvenger]

To whoever asked, Bendis is writing 6 books and so is Parker if I counted correctly. Parker is co-writing on at least one of the 6.

Anyway, January looks to be a rather large month for me.

[Imraith Nimphais]

X-Force 23...New Mutants 9...Black Panther 12...Doc Voodoo 4...Secret Warriors 12...Spider Woman 5...Daredevil 504...Seige 1 (only for the beauty that is Coipel).
XM:Legacy 232 (Maybe)...and...

WHERE THE FRAKK IS ASTONISHING X-MEN 34!?!?!?

[Kylun123]

It does not...and I agree with you. There are too many damn books going on... but yeah, unless another writer wants too...it has not other books tied to it...per Maberry who I guess wants it that way.

Oh that is excellent, and the way an Event should be handled, in my opinion!
Thanks.

F4 has nothing to do with Siege, why are you dropping it?

Ah, ok, that's great news!
I saw it at the top and it said classified so I just assumed it was related to Seige.
Thanks!

[Kylun123]

Where's PAD when you need him? :evilsmile:

Don't worry, I can handle this one. Learned from the best.

What happened to Wolverine First Class I dont remember anyone saying it ended?

Hey, Loser.
Quit complaining about cancelled titles and enjoy/praise/revel in the greatness of the dozens of titles/cross-overs/one-shots that Marvel DOES produce every month.

When I was but a lad comic book fanboy I never would complain when my favorite book was cancelled. I would simply accept the news quietly and appreciate all the many issues I was blessed with.

In fact, this one time I was at a comic book convention and some little kid had this idea - she asked "wouldn't it be great if Barbie & My Little Pony had a crossover!!!"
If she had asked that question nowadays, she would laughed out of the convention hall with tears streaming down her face.
Comic book fans used to be better people back in the day . . .

Edit: And if there were ever rumors about the cancellation of one of my own titles you can be sure I would be man-enough to come back here in this very forum and let y'all know what the truth is. Never would I lie to my fans, or string them along needlessly when rumors of cancellation are being strewn about.

[Shaka]

I'm feeling a little Doom overload...

DoomWar
X-Factor
Hulk
Siege

I hope they don't accidently water the good Doc down

[XPac]

Yeah... I think people are laying it a bit on thick with Doom too. Hopefully he won't get jobbed out too much in all these appearances.

The reasons all these people want to use Doom in the first place is because unlike a lot of villains he's got cred... but if they job him out, he'll lose the very thing which makes him desirable to use in the first place.

[CaptainCanada]

For me:

Black Widow: Deadly Origin #3
Black Widow and the Marvel Girls #3
Captain America: Reborn #6
Captain America #602
Criminal: The Sinners #4
Daredevil #504
Fantastic Four #575
Incredible Hercules #140
Mighty Avengers #33
Siege #1
Thor #606
Uncanny X-Men #520
X-Force #23

Looks good. I like the addition of Nomad to Cap, since I've been enjoying the miniseries.

[MIMIC616]

SECRET WARRIORS #12
Written by JONATHAN HICKMAN
Penciled by STEFANO CASELLI
Cover by JIM CHEUNG
Nick Fury quietly moves his forces into place as the war between the armies of LEVIATHAN and the armies of HYDRA kicks into gear. Also, the long-awaited origin of the mysterious HIVE, and we finally find out who the father of STONEWALL is.
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

STONEWALL's father Plant Man, Super Adaptoid, or Absorbing Man?

[Comicbookfan]

NO Moon Knight?....

I dropped -Mighty Avengers-I am going to Pick up X-men Legacy if only for that Great cover. NO MOON KNIGHT?! what the hell....Dark X-men Excellent yes X-man!. okay. Two marvel comics so far for January.

[steveg887]

Every time I skim through the solicitations, I think, for a split second, that the Marvel Boy series is about Noh-Varr not Robert Grayson and that I just must've missed it earlier.

Every. Damn. Time.

Curse my stupidity.

Anyway, looking forward to Siege, Assault on New Olympus, and Noh-Varr having a (hopefully substantial) appearance in S.W.O.R.D.

[Monty_Cristo]

G-Dammit! can Francesco Mattina put someone besides Ghost on the friggin cover for a change?!!

[LungerTony]

I don't know what to think. I've been needing to cut titles badly, and while I AM interested to see how Dark Reign ends...this Siege looks like a convenient place to drop some titles. And I don't follow Thor...at all. So a Thor-centric event kind of turns me off a bit.
I don't know for sure yet butt I'll probably just drop my all my titles that are tied in the event.

And I couldn't tell...was the Tbolts crossing over with the Agents of Atlas - or are they just fighting them. As much as I like the Tbolts, a crossover with a book I'm not interested will give me a convenient place to end that title as well.

it's only happening within the Thunderbolts title. it would probably be a convenient place to drop it since the solicit says that this is their final mission.

[theXfactor]

I think this last Thunderbolts arc is just a way for Parker to write more Agents of Atlas than anything else. Really, they have to appear in every book he writes?

[Brother Justin Crowe]

Ah, ok, that's great news!
I saw it at the top and it said classified so I just assumed it was related to Seige.
Thanks!

Nah, the only thing that was classified was the unannounced specifics of the Marvel Women "event". The actual solicit is:

"FANTASTIC FOUR #575
Written by JONATHAN HICKMAN
Penciled by DALE EAGLESHAM
Cover by ALAN DAVIS
Marvel Women Variant by JELENA KEVIC-DJURDJEVIC
Kicking off the world-spanning new adventures of the Fantastic Four, this is part one of the Prime Elements arc: The Hidden City of the High Evolutionary!
Featuring the return of the Mole Man, the architecture of the underworld, and the smartest Moloid you'll ever meet.
Don't miss it!
32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99"

Glad you're sticking around with it; I'm kind of in love with it since Hickman took over, and can't help but feel it's only going to get better.

Don't worry, I can handle this one. Learned from the best.

[Babylon23]

Agents of Atlas – Turf Wars

Avengers World Trust - Interesting to see John's Avengers work getting the Premier treatment

Iron Man: Deadly Solutions - Ditto Busiek's Iron Man run. Points to Marvel for getting both of these out there.

Excalibur Visionaries Alan Davis Vol. 2


Happy to see so much Agents of Atlas love from Marvel this month. After the cancellation of the last series I thought they might be relegated just to the backups in Hercules. Instead, we get AoA/Avengers, the Uranian mini and a guest appearance in Thunberbolts. Great stuff.

Three books with the Agents of Atlas makes me a very happy fan boy!

You forgot Thor...

I agree that there is a danger as Xpac says. Too many "L's" instead of "W's" and he loses what little credibility any villain has. Most are pre-destined not to succeed by traditional comic book morality.

It is curious why there's been such a concentration of appearances in several titles. Characters like Doom, Namor and Doctor Strange are powerfully iconic in Marvel but currently have no solo title of their own. So in a way, Marvel is giving the fans a monthly by appearing in various titles or periodically giving them mini series.

or maybe Doom fans are just being thrown a bone because Magneto will actually be appearing in a monthly.

But the title doesn't say "Magneto" does it? Will he be just a guest appearance or part of the cast of characters? He will have to get a pair of knee pads if another fit of kneeling before Cyclops overtakes him. At least 120 year Doom can handle Scott.

[Monty_Cristo]

it's his asteroid. he's on the cover. i think that kind of evens things out.

he's one of the main characters according to interviews.

He will have to get a pair of knee pads if another fit of kneeling before Cyclops overtakes him. At least 120 year Doom can handle Scott.

funny you should mention that since knee pads have always been a part of Doom's classic look. they came in real handy when that emaciated old Master of Doom showed up. and what's so special about some decrepit b@stard manhandling another old geezer? wake me up after they've changed his adult diaper.

[Iron Maiden]

he's one of the main characters according to interviews. .

Eh...so he's only added to the cast for now. That's not like they've launched a Magneto solo. He's been a part of the X-people before and he's bound to have another falling out.

Not kneepads... they're points of articulation for flexibility. MOD still got outplayed in the end. I have no idea why hitch made him look like a walking cadaver. Maybe he saw that traveling exhibit of dead bodies.


and what's so special about some decrepit b@stard manhandling another old geezer? wake me up after they've changed his adult diaper.


Old Man Doom rules even if he is senile. He probably invented indestructible underwear like the ones NASA had on the last shuttle flight. biggrin: I think Magneto wears Spanx so he can suck it in under the spandex.

[Monty_Cristo]

Eh...so he's only added to the cast for now. That's not like they've launched a Magneto solo. He's been a part of the X-people before and he's bound to have another falling out.

that's because they've already finished the House of M crossovers and moved on to House of M minis. what did you think the M stood for?

he might not resort to steroids like Doom but he's no slouch.

Mazel tov? Meshugena mutant? Honestly, what is his real name?? Magnus ? Eric Lensherr? Max Eisenhardt? Sybil?

he might not resort to steroids like Doom but he's no slouch.

Well, I think we know that everyone in the MU is pumped up. Look at Johnny and Reed lately. They've gone back to the Kirby FF peak years.

[scribbleMind]

Maybe there's no Moon Knight because he's going to play a big role in Siege?

or rather, What if Khonshu played a big role in Siege?

[protege]

Konshu versus Hela? I might go for it except I REALLY don't like Konshu.

[AaronJS]

EDIT: Double post. Can't find the delete button for this. My apologies.

[TOAA]

I doubt it, it`ll probably have something to do with Dragon of the Moon or whatever it`s called.

[paulski]

Thanos? Hmm, hadn't thought of that.

But I doubt it. As TOAA says, it's likely to do with the deal Phyla made with the Dragon back in #12.

[Mundungus]

Hrm. Okay. I think I missed that issue so I wasn't aware of the situation.

Still, it would be a cool re-entry for the character.

[Shai Hulud]

Hrm. Okay. I think I missed that issue so I wasn't aware of the situation.

Still, it would be a cool re-entry for the character.

i 'd like to re-entry there too...

[XPac]

Thanos already returned in Pet Avengers though (unless that doesn't count).

[SydneyFalco]

Man, Thanos gets mentioned on these boards a lot. He must've become interesting somehow while I was away. What're his good stories?

maybe:

siege 1

i don't really know how i feel about siege. i don't read any of the avengers books, but i did pick up the main house of m, civil war & secret invasion minis so i feel like if this is the last chapter of those big storylines i should get it. i also really enjoy coipel's work. we'll see. if i do pick it up i'll likely only pick up the main 4 issue series, though.

i decided to pick up siege but not the nation x: x-factor one-shot.

siege seems it'll be something i shouldn't pass up on, and if i'm only getting the 4 issue main series it's not going to be that much more in addition to my normal pull list.

the x-factor one-shot seems like it'll probably be filler; given that the team has recently relocated to nyc we kind of already know that they're not going to move to utopia. if i hear good things i may pick it up later, though. i did enjoy the quicksilver & layla miller one-shots from a while back.
