[Rollo Tomassi]

Ha! Typical. I JUST started getting Dark Avengers again because they brought back USAgent, and now it's cancelled.

[kaijukurt]

Why are they releasing an Iron Man one-shot concerning the Melter just now?
A clue to Iron Man 3?

RED SHE-HULK #65
DARK AVENGERS #190 (sad that this is ending...)
VENOM #35
And most likely SECRET AVENGERS #4 as well, the first issue got me hooked!

[Michael P]

I don't think that copy for the X-Men: Ghosts collection is quite right...

[TehJofus]

Young Avengers #5
Avengers: The Enemy Within #1

Quite odd that Marvel would skip Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble for a month. I guess they thought 3 crossover issues in one month was a bit much.

[TsaiMeLemoni]

Avengers
All-New X-Men
Superior Spiderman
Guardians of the Galaxy
X-Men
Captain America
Indestructible Hulk
Red She-Hulk
Fearless Defenders (only the normal issue, not the A.U. one)
Thunderbolts
Uncanny X-Force
Daredevil: End of Days


Hm, not as bad as I thought. Pretty normal.

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

Young Avengers #5
Avengers: The Enemy Within #1

Quite odd that Marvel would skip Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble for a month. I guess they thought 3 crossover issues in one month was a bit much.

I'm not sure what's going on with Captain Marvel, but I know that AA is delayed because DeConnick got caught up in personal issues and a heavy schedule. That's why Al Ewing is doing the AU tie-ins. More details here.

Technically that one-shot for the crossover could be counted as the CM issue for the month as well. It's better than having to buy two issues of CM that month on top of two issues of Avengers Assemble.

In other news, WS really doesn't sound too long for this world, but I plan to support it. I enjoyed it enough to keep it going.

Also, I'm a bit miffed that the AU books are all $3.99. I mean, I could understand it for the books that are already $3.99, but Fearless Defenders?

[protege]

The AU issues of Avengers assemble and Uncanny- i actually think I'm going to skip them out of sheer boredom. Could Scarlet Spider PLEASE have a rogue's gallery of his own? And why do I think the Sphinx is going to be popping up in Nova soon?

[GCA-FF]

I notice there isn't a Captain Marvel book listed.

[CaptainMarvell]

Age of Ultron sounds really good... but 2-3 issues a month at $3.99. Too pricey. Especially knowing there's another big event coming up right after it this summer.

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

I notice there isn't a Captain Marvel book listed.

The CM/AA crossover prologue should fill that gap. Notice how often CM pops up in the solicit.

[grahamgg]

I don't think that copy for the X-Men: Ghosts collection is quite right...

It's the text for Hulk: Crossroads. So either they got the content wrong or the header wrong. Either way soon we'll have Hulk: Crossroads & X-Men: Ghosts. Sure wish the XM: Ghosts was OHC to match Mutant Massacre, etc though.

[infinitEEntropy]

It seems like Marvel is taking turns double shipping certain books. I wonder if this will be a permanent thing they do.

[Captain M]
