Hey Countgate, you made it!

Hey Countgate, you made it!

Third of fourth time. But I think I disguised my real question too much this time.

Third of fourth time. But I think I disguised my real question too much this time.

Heh, I think the point got across.

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

I think it's a guarantee where Beast sides on the matter.

. . . and some real surprises emerged in the room – including a couple new series that just make you grin and nod your head the way a good beat does.

Awaiting more information about this. I didn't think they were so eager to do new series.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Nova ongoing after AvX.

That caught my attention as well.

Gee, what gave that away? Was it when they kept hyping Nova or the part where they kept hyping Nova.
Nothing against you, because it's a good point.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Iron Fist was one of them as well...

[Disco_Magic]

Not a lot of meat this week. I was hoping for a little more info as to what's on the horizon.

Solicits are next Tuesday.
That will tied us over until....um...

[YouthofToday]

They have said they were pulling back on mini series at the moment, but we always get a handful of new series coming out of an event.

[Rheged]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Nova ongoing after AvX.

About dam time. Can't believe how they've let the cosmic line die.

That caught my attention as well.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Iron Fist was one of them as well...

I doubt it, since that's a book I'd actually like to read. No, it will be yet another reboot of editorial favorites Moon Knight and Black Panther, I bet.

I will, however, stupidly hold out for a Valkyrie and the Disir in the vein of Josie and the Pussycats.

[Sabrewulf]

Was that it. That ended abruptly.

Is that what it's going to be like for the next 9 months. Just all AVX. I don't see Marvel releasing any other new books considering they can only just keep the ones they have afloat at the moment.

There is still no indication that this will be anything but a load of in-fighting for 6 months and about 30 titles. None of the covers released so far indicate there is much more to this story outside of the return of the Phoenix. Certainly nothing that would make me want to pick it up even if Fraction and Bendis weren't involved.

More than anything it's making me consider dropping the books involved that I do pick up. Secret Avengers and WATXM both seem to be having their momentum spoilt by this event just as Remender and Aaron are getting started.

I sense we will be moving into a Heroic Age/ Regenesis style none event after this yet again, which will no doubt lead into yet another event shortly after. There is a tragic lack of imagination at the House Of Ideas these days.

Cue Wacker!

I would facepalm so hard.
But yeah, hoping a female book comes out of this! We need one with fresh blood!
