so much good stuff ~ Dan Slott on She-Hulk, The Thing and Amazing Fantasy, 'Invincible' in Marvel Team-Up, New Peter David X-Factor, House of M fallout, Saltares + Texiara teaming up for art on Wolverine (never thought i would be buying a Wolvie solo title....) Brubacker on Books of Doom and X-Men: Deadly Genesis... >>>wallet explodes<<< (can't believe i made that joke, i hate that joke)
First Avengers Disassembled, now this. Is every Big Bendis Event going to use the line "It was the worst day in [fill-in-blank] history?"
I was thinking "It's the worst day in X-Men history" refers to the House of M, since "Now it's the day after" refers to the Decimation one-shot.
Though I don't collect a single X-Men book; I might pick up that 2005 Hnadbook when it comes out. I'm a sucker for books featuring character profiles and the like; especially when it's about characters I have a passing interest in. (Besides it'll be killer for my writing featuring my own Marvel Earth, 929, which I created as part of my massive Fanfic endeavor and which I seriously want to play around with some more creating an entirely new set of events and possibilities for all my favorite and not-so-favorite Marvel characters.)
X-MEN: DEADLY GENESIS #1 (of 6) What happens when the skeletons in your closet finally break down the door and come looking for you...... am i the only one who thinks this sounds suspiciously similar to identity crisis...an unknown secret from the past is suddenly brought to light and "everything is changed forever??" - obviously it's going to be a different story but the premise sounds too familiar
Uhm...hello, no one else saw this?? MORLUN!!!!!!! Whee. Looks like I'll be picking up some Spider books in the fall. Also, I see no Iron Man books on that list. Sad for me.
