[Expletive Deleted]

• I want to pick up the Women of Marvel anthology, but a Greg Land cover makes me hesitant.
• Widowmaker is a mini-series instead of a two-and-two crossover? I must've missed that news.
• I really like Dan Panosian's cover for Chaos War. The dot effect is great.
• I'm interested in Hickman's "Three" storyline, but all the Nu-Earth stuff leaves me cold.
• What's Harry Wilcox written prior to the new She-Hulks title? I'm not familiar with the name.
• Is it just me, or does High Evolutionary look a bit like Despero on that Iron Man/Thor cover?
• That's a pretty great Alex Ross cover for his Invaders series, but I just can't drum up any interest in a story featuring the Golden Age Vision.
• "Hot For Teacher," Tom and Ron? Seriously?
• The next two covers (Travel Foreman's Loki cover and Amanda Conner's Warriors Three cover) are great, though.
• Baby Daken is creeeepy.
• I'm conflicted on the "Demon In An Armor" cover. On the one hand, it tells you exactly what you need to know. On the other hand, it's really obvious.
• I don't know why they bothered censoring XXXXXX XXXXX.
• I'm pretty sure that X-Factor cover has been done before, but it still works.
• I'm sold on Lapham and Baker's Deadpool Max on the strength of the creative team alone, but these covers are sealing the deal.
• There's a Harvey Pekar story in Strange Tales? Awesome. Also, great cover.
• Aside from the omnibus, the pickings look pretty slim for oversized hardcovers this month.
• Some good trades, though.
• It's nice to see those Captain America one-shots from last year get reprinted. They were a bit uneven, but Howard Chaykin's '50s Cap story was great.

Also, so glad that Jeff Parker is gonna go into Ghost's origins more.

It was the one thing I asked him for when he first got the T-Bolts gig. So I can't wait.

Silver Sable! Is on heroes for Hire!!

[Beamish]

Are Black Widow and Hawkeye & Mockingbird cancelled? Are they temporarily shelved for Widowmaker? No solicits does not bode well...

[motteditor]

Man, Slott writing Abe is tempting, but unless it's a larger part of the book than I expect, I can't really be bothered to buy a Spider-title.

Also torn on I am an Avenger 3. I'm excited about the Firestar and Justice story, but the rest of them? If I wanted to read about Ben Grimm, I'd buy Fantastic Four. I have no interest in Spider-Woman and Warbird, and the Drunken Despot is arguably my least favorite classic Avenger.

Very worried about Widowmaker suddenly becoming a mini. I hope that doesn't mean bad things for HaM, but I fear this will be another unannounced cancellation. If not, why not keep it as an old-school crossover, to try to increase sales on both titles?

Kind of surprised along those lines to see Young Allies 7, but that's good news. I could do with the book would be a little less focused on Nomad and Arana, considering I'm reading it for Gravity and especially Firestar.

Really torn about this She-Hulks thing. I'd like to pick up a book about Jen again, but "Will Lyra survive gym class" reads like it was designed to turn me off. I suspect I'll flip through a few issues in the store to see what I think.

Sadly, as usual these days, not that much I'm interested in. Just too much Wolverine, Spider-Man, Deadpool and Luke Cage...

[donuil23]

WIDOWMAKER #1 & #2 (if it does not require me to read Hawkeye & Mockingbird and Black Widow)

I appreciate that it makes it easier for people that don't follow both series, but it makes me worry they might be tempted to cancel one series or the other after the mini... H&M is dynamite IMO.

Wow. Thunderbolts is now 32 pages for $3.99?? Hope that is a typo.

I hope so, too, or I might drop this one before I even really got into it.

Now for the list;
CARNAGE #2 (of 5) (Hope this one's worth it.)
DEADPOOL TEAM-UP #886 (only for Iron Fist)
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #650
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #651
SECRET AVENGERS #8

WIDOWMAKER #1 (of 4)
WIDOWMAKER #2 (of 4)
FANTASTIC FOUR #586
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #33

THUNDERBOLTS #151
THOR #618
S.H.I.E.L.D. #5
X-FACTOR #212

I actually exclaimed out loud, in the office, when I saw the offical solicit for Heroes for Hire yesterday. The creative team plus the cast makes me more excited for a new comic than I've been in ages.
