Why is there only two Amazing Spider-Man issues?

[Omega Alpha]

Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk #3???????????????????????

[Bevbos]

It's looking like the speculation regarding the identity of the new Hawkeye is on the money.

[Congo Jack]

I think I'm going to get AVENGERS: HAWKEYE PREMIERE HC. Haven't read many of the stories, but I always liked Clint's visual and personality and there's some top drawer creators in there.

Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk #3???????????????????????

Oh, didn't you hear? IT’S BAAAAAACK! And this time it's going all the way... apparently.

[streator]

i'm getting:

fantastic four 565
nova 23
uncanny x-men 507
x-men: legacy 222
x-force/cable: messiah war prologue
x-force 13
cable 12
wolverine 71
x-infernus 4
x-factor 41


i'm not too thrilled about the nova solict. i hope that the new identity stuff isn't around for too long.

After giving McGuinness over 4 months of time to "get ahead", he still can't put together two consecutive months of Hulk. I love his work, but not at the expense of going bi-monthly.

Lots of books that I want, but as prices keep going up I'm going to have to start pruning pretty soon. The solicit for Skaar looks good, if only they could have bought, borrowed or stolen a decent art team to make it work.

I'll be picking up that spanish language Torch and Spidey book for my nephew who is bilingual. The previous FF one was a blast. I wish DC would do the same with Supes and Batman.

Judging by her thighs on that Ed McGuinness AoA cover, Namora's got a whooty. Nice-sh!

And yes, the book is very well written but if we don't start to see some kind of clue or hint as to Steve Rogers return as Captain America by issue 50 I think I am going to drop the book.

[artiepants]

ugh. They really did it, they took New Avengers too 3.99 monthly.

this is the beginning of the end for me and comics :(

[soulkiller]

What's happened to Astonishing X-Men? Has that been cancelled? It wasn't in last month's solicts either.

Ellis has a track record of being slow (Deodato pinned the Tbolts delays in their run firmly on him, saying that he'd had to do other work while waiting for Tbolts scripts to arrive), and I think Bianchi's meant to take six weeks an issue. A + B = It's on the slow boat.

[CyberHubbs]

Greg Land dares to soil AoA by doing a cover? Goddamnit!

Actually, is not so much that Ellis is slow, but he does much more books than he is able to at that time, counting the Marvel ones and his creator owned books.

Divito on Nova! Yes!!!! Praise the gods!!

Lots of crossovers between 2 books, looks like I'm gonna have to jump onto some books.

And if you can't afford the $4 books, cut back on something else. Like the booze and cigarettes, you bunch of degenerates!
