What are you looking forward to from Marvel?

Who awesome do they have other than Mags?
Sinister? Who is gone, and when was the last time they really fought him.
Apocylpse?
Sentinels? I could definatly go for sentinels.

Sentinels would be good if done right again as a sort of constant pain in the neck, almost foot soldier type of enemy.

Apocalypse could be good if done right with his Horsemen again, instead of having nearly EVERY X-Man becoming a horesmen like they've been doing.

Sinister is now Ms. Sinister.. it was a storyline in X-Men Legacy where he had tampered with Cain Marko, Xavier, and Sebastian Shaw and some other new character when they were younger, and made it so that if his body died, his conscience would go into one of them. Marko's helmut protected him, the 4th died in a mental institution, and Shaw had a machine protecting him.. Xavier defeated the 'infection' and some lady got it instead, and Shaw invited her to join his new Hellfire Club if I recall right.

Hell, even if they upgrade a newer enemy.. or bring in some other big level villain, I think I'd be happy if done right.

Dark Phoenix!
Dark Phoenix!

They'll be duking it out with Magneto again. Fraction has plans for him.

Any idea what they are?

I'd love to see another real Dark Phoenix battle again as well.

Yea, I know they plan to get Magneto back in action, but isn't it within a year or more? I'm kinda not wanting to wait a year for a battle royale when we havn't had one in awhile as it is.

Even the latest Original Sin thing with Xavier, Miss Sinister, Sebastian Shaw and Wolvie blew. How does that happen?

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:48 pm

I didn't get the Wolverine issues, so it really didn't make sense to me. I just hate having to pick up like one or two issues of a book I don't even read for a four part storyline.

Things I'm looking forward to :

Definitely the new Wolverine book by Aaron.
I'll be getting the FF once Hickman jumps onboard, especially with Eaglesham drawing.
I'll be following the main Avengers titles to see where Dark Reign is going.
I must say I have very little interest at the moment for the X-books. I keep piling them up on my hard disk but can't find the motivation to read them.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:55 pm

Don't find it. They aren't worth it. Unless it's X-Factor. Which is phenominal.
Old Man Logan is the only other good x-book at the moment I find.

Although I do get a kind of 90's nostalgia enjoyment from x-force.

XIII · Post by **XIII** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:59 pm

Speaking of nostalgia, I'm really on the fence about getting that new New Mutants ongoing.
I really love the characters (Cannonball and Sunspot for the win!) but I've never read anything by Zeb Wells and Diogo Neves is an unknown to me.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:00 pm

I am not a fan of what I have read of Zeb Wells, he did some spidey stuff. Never heard of the other guy either.

I'd never even heard of this before now.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:54 pm

Cannonball is really the only character I'm interested in on that team, so I don't think I'll be picking it up. I do think it's cool that they're putting what's close to the original team back together.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:57 pm

Where is cannonball right now anyway?

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:02 pm

Presumably the mansion in SF with other characters we haven't seen since the move.. like Iceman. I really liked the team up thing they were doing with the two of them.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:11 pm

Fuck. I really really want to see more Iceman. He is a great, underutilized, powerful character.

One of my favorites.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:13 pm

Agreed. I could use less Angel and more Iceman in the books.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:16 pm

I've always wanted to see a huge Iceman/Magneto show down. I think it could be very cool.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:54 pm

Iceman is boring, although not as boring as Storm.

Anyway, apaprently Fraction has long-term plans for Magneto, so I figure it'll be a plotline that'll resolve in a year or so.

wolf_2099 · Post by **wolf_2099** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 3:56 pm

Too long! Far too long!
