I didn't see anything terribly impressive. Thor is in limbo it seems (2 whole months without an issue of the main series), since JMS's departure. Maybe his leaving wasn't so far in advance or expected as Joe Quesada would have us believe.

Man, not only are those solicits pretty enderwhelming, they're expensive too. Seriously, why do 32, 40 and 48 page comics all cost exactly the same price?

Marvels looks good.

World's Most Wanted wrapping up. It's a good story, but it should conclude before it gets obese.

Really liking Dan Slott on Mighty Avengers. Gage should be a nice little add on.

The List looks like it actually gives pages for the higher price.

There is a lot of chaff in here. So far, I've been Making Mine Marvel less and less. This solicitation list doesn't look like I'll be regretting it anytime soon. Too much money for too little story or too gimmicky in many cases. Marvels, Secret Warriors, and Mighty Avengers, will give me my Marvel fix this month. (Down from going 85% Marvel each month. Thank you Joe Q for making the "Who to purchase from question" so easily answered with more $3.99 filler and minis.") DC and indies will take the rest.

[Stephen Sanders]

Hmm. There is about 20 books and two trades that I'll be getting.

I call it "The Quesada Effect" or "The Greed Factor" depending on how intoxicated I am.

No Exiles
Not a particularly thrilling month is it?

A month without Exiles is like a month without sunshine.

LOL a Punisher/Venom mini! Funny.

PS- Can the NA NOT go without fighting the Hood every couple of months?
This is turning into Master Shredder and the Ninja Turtles.

[Imraith Nimphais]

AXM: 31, NM: 6, X-Force: 20...SWs: 9, BP: 9, Spider Woman: 2...and that about does it for me...

[grphxkindaguy]

So many comics...so little interest!

[Puunk]

EXILES, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'm asking the same thing about Runaways. xl

Ugh, what an underwhelming month. Marvel Apes/Zombies is horrendous.

[streator]

nova 30
astonishing x-men 31
uncanny x-men 516
x-force 20
x-men: legacy 228
cable 19
x-factor 50

and maybe the ultimate wolverine/hulk hc. does anyone know if marvel's going to release this series as a tpb and if so when? i think i'd rather get this series as a tpb.

I thought I had read that the Marvel Zombies Return was slated for October.
At least theres a solicitation for the Zombies vs Apes book
