Astonishing X-Men sounds fantastic. I'm interested again in Amazing Spider-Man, as it sounds like Iron Man (one of my favorites) is being a major guest star, and we're seeing a distancing from the mystical mumbo jumbo. Iron Man sounds good, and truthfully, a reasonable path for the character to go down now. Same goes for New Avengers. Hell, I might even pick up the Ultimate Deadpool arc in USM. But...Brubaker's fucking Daredevil. I refuse to accept what he's done to the status quo until I see undeniable proof with my own eyes. I mean...fucking a. It's going to have to be a fantastic comic to win me over to this new change in Murdock's life.
Love Ultimate Deadpool's look. But I'm confused. The solicitation for Parts 1 & 2 calls his gang the Marauders. Now they're the Reavers. Which one is it? The Apocalypse story in Cable & Deadpool and X-Men sounds awesome. Can't wait for it. Exiles: World Tour is continuing into May? Not that I'm bored with it, but how long is it supposed to last? X-Factor #6 sounds fun. For some reason, I foresee much hilarity when Guido goes jogging, but I'll probably be wrong. Sweet. Age of Apocalypse Book 3. Still need Book 2, though.
