Marvel for May

Post by XIII »

Here are the titles coming up for May :

On top of my usual stuff (Wolvie: Weapon X, Incognito), I'll be getting the 2 Wolverine issues cause Aaron is writing half of them.

What about you guys?

Looks like:

Ultimate's finale, War of Kings main title, And then Uncanny X-Men and X-Men Legacy..

It'd be nice to see an Astonishing title ever now and again, but alas, I won't hold my breath... I read less and less Marvel now it seems, since Ultimate X-Men is cancelled, and I dropped Thor...

Funny. I'll be reading more and more, what with them snatching my favourite creators like Aaron and Hickman.
And have them work with good artists.

I'm thinking about Secret Warriors, Spider-Woman (except, the $4 deal is putting me off) and Wolverine: Weapon X on top of the usual (the two main X-titles, Ingocnito).

Can one of you clarify since you read more Marvel than me these days: Just how many Wolverine titles are there now? I literally have no clue, let alone which ones are the present, past, future, or even starring him.

Is Wolvie still the go-to guy for boosting sales?

In this post: Wolverine!

From what Wolf put up I agree. That's way too many titles for one character to be heading up, especially since he's appearing in at least 3 team books as well.

First Class is actually fun, and it mainly serves as a vehicle to have Kitty Pryde still around. Or at least it seems that way. It's very cute. Origins is redundant, too bad Marvel seems hell-bent on making it relevant.

I loved the X-Men First Class series when it was a mini, and then enjoyed the ongoing for awhile but finally dropped it. It was great seeing them sort of young and carefree again, and exploring relationships with other characters at the time.

I almost picked up the Wolverine First Class solely for Kitty, but just couldn't bring myself to do it.

Goddamned Joss Whedon :mad:

I've been reading it and it's very cute. Actually almost worth the money.

Mostly the same. Besides my usual crop books with Daredevil, as ever, being on the chopping block.

The book I am looking forward to is HALO: Uprising. Though its only coming out in HC< I shall eagerly await it's tradepaperbackness.

No, I wanted to wait for the paperback to come out.

My love for the monthlies is declining and my love for the paperbacks is increasing.
