Ursus the Ultrabear? You rock, Jeff Parker.

The Forgotten One is a luchador now? . . . that kind of works, actually.

I have no idea what's going on in Ghost Rider right now, but I like the blue look for Dan Ketch.

Does anyone else think the SECRET WAR omnibus is a mite overpriced for 384 pages?

[Siddon]

Wow, really big trade month for me

Daredevil, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Iron Fist, Incredible Herc, and I wanted to check out Sky Doll Last Defenders, American Dream and the Ms. Marvel HC.

This Broken Hand storyline in DD must be were he finds out about Elektra Fingers crossed she is all right! And as for Avengers:Initiative spoilers:

I knew Ultra Girl was a Skrull! Why else would she not go with Vance when he formed his own team and her and Thor Girl on the same team afterwards! That and she was a No 2 in the Skrull deck

end of spoilers

See I don't know about that, I'm assuming that they are going to have a number of extras and incentives plus some of those issues are mighty pricey. I wouldn't be shocked to see them add an extra issue or two after they get in the pre-orders. And it's not nearly as bad as the Civil War Hardcover for 40 bucks.

Terry Moore is doing some godawful covers for his SM LUVS MARYJANE book.

The forced cutesyness is making me heave.

URFG!

And it's not nearly as bad as the Civil War Hardcover for 40 bucks.

Isn't it? According to the solicits, the CW hardcover has 33% more pages and costs 60% less than the SW hardcover. That's with the exact same binding, paper stock, and trim size.

[Nyssane]

Ugh, the only Serpent Society appearance in October and it's the crappy Marvel Adventures version of the Sons of the Serpent.

[Siddon]

Isn't it? According to the solicits, the CW hardcover has 33% more pages and costs 60% less than the SW hardcover. That's with the exact same binding, paper stock, and trim size.

But the stories have been re-printed three times over the last two years, in three different format's in addition to all the varient copies. Secret War has a few issues that are on the pricey end (number 8, and the final What If).

[Lupek]

The Knauffs writing a Captain America book and Jeff Parker writing the Hulk vs Frankenstein are this months hiighlights for me.

Woof Woof!

[B. Kuwanger]

Yeahhh, that's like $50 for the Ross cover.

Lots of crap I'm getting, but nothing that grabs me from here except for that new Cap mini and the return of Namor. Oh, and the Parker Hulk story, and that sweet ass Ghost Rider cover.

[Beast]

Ursus the Ultrabear? You rock, Jeff Parker.

Yes, yes he does. It's probably the first time I've been happy for more Sentry.

Does anyone else think the SECRET WAR omnibus is a mite overpriced for 384 pages?

Very overpriced. Considering many of the Omnibuses at that size are cheaper.

I don't mind $100 for 700-1000 page ones. But under 400? Crazyness.

[BugsySig]

Some very interesting stuff in October...

Avengers: the Initiative - You'll notice the reflection of the two shows Thor-Girl as a Skrull, so nothing is definite. But I agree that odds are on Ultra-Girl being a Skrull.

New & Mighty Avengers - Both those SI tie-ins look really interesting, especially the one focusing on Captain Mar-Vell and Noh-Varr.

Incredible Herc - I love that cover. That look on Namora's face is priceless.

Hulk & She-Hulk - Looking forward to the Lady Liberators (Although I thought Valkyrie was still dead? Oh well).

FF - Johnny & Lyja wedding bells? Sue Storm dead? Lyja the Laser Fist taking over spot #4? Just theorizing.

MI:13 - Yeah for Captain Midlands!

X-Force - Has replaced X-Factor as the one X-Book I can still stand.

Young X-Men - Thank G-d for a new line-up...hopefully some of the "New" X-Men will be back.

[soulkiller]

So is Ultimate X-Men cancelled? Isn't this the second month with no solict?
