Herc in AA? Must be teaching a class on pimpin'

[Nova2814.1]

Moving on to some fan questions for the week, we've got Nova2814.1 who's following up on an earlier A-i-C discussion: "A few months back, you mentioned that Marvel would be offering subscriptions to new books like Ultimate Comics: Ultimates and Wolverine & the X-Men by December or thereabouts. They haven't been added yet, so can you tell us if it's still the plan to offer these (and other) new titles and if so, when?"

Alonso: We're working on it, Nova2814. Check back in a month.

For a company so committed to the Point One initiative, you think they'd remember to include it in a poster's name

( I keed, I keed!)

As weird as this sounds, the preview art of the post-Civil War Mighty Avengers makes me kinda miss The Sentry. I just think he was interesting and had so much potential that went to waste. I know, I know...I'm a bad person.

Absolutely loving the "bwa ha ha"-ness of Herc's upcoming apparance (may actualy have to buy Avengers Academy for once)

Though it seems like he's back to his classic look (and power level?) Geuss they realized "urban Herc" didn't work

[Songbird/Diamondback]

Herc's butt to boost AA's sales!

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

I totally forgot about Hulk Smash!

I wonder if I should just wait an extra month for the TPB though.

Adams really does draw an awesome Valkyrie.

Also, looks like Herc challenged the boys to some good old-fashioned Greco-Roman wrestling.

Ok you saw oeming's art rocked in black panther... What about the writer?



Black panther issues asside.... Best column he has had I think

[Chandler X]

Silver samuraaaaiiii!!!

[IronMagnus]

That Fearless #12 cover with Valkyrie is amazing!

[Relique]

I like how X-23 isn't impressed by Herc's package

[Johnson!]

"Final Year for ol Pete?"

Not again....

[willforthrill]

" Seems like a pretty good final year for ol' Pete, doesn't it?"
Does that mean what I think it means!?

That got a chuckle out of me as well.

Also, I kind of wish Marvel wasn't taking so long to at least hint at post-AVX books. I know they're worried about spoiling the story or ruining the drama, but I say just drop a few pictures here and there to get readers excited, particularly in light of the recent cancellations. I actually think that could encourage more readers to give AVX look if they have a favorite character spinning out of it.

Poor Hazmat get's to see nothing thanks to her boyfriend, oh the tongue lashing he's going to get
