WTF did Malin and Brisson do to Blink? She looks like she was plucked right out of a crappy Extreme Studios book from 1993.

That Blink costume needs to burn.

Unless it's a coloring mistake and it's supposed to be full body.

[DJ1107]

Looking forward to CA since it means Kraven will actually be a threat again.

A surprisingly large month of Marvel for me.

Guardians of the Galaxy #150 and #151 - Only buying this because of Adam Warlock. If Marvel botches his return this will be the last time I buy a non-Jim Starlin cosmic Marvel book.

Spirits of Vengeance #4 - I liked the first ish. Hopefully this will continue.

Moon Knight #191 - Really hope this run doesn't suck. Haven't really enjoyed my favorite Marvel hero in a long time.

Star Wars # 41 and #42 - Still really enjoying the SW comic.

[Witchfan]

Avengers #675, 676, 677, 678
GOTG #150, 151
Mighty Thor #703
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #28
Tales of Suspense #101
Thanos #15
Infinity War Prelude #1
Star Wars #41, 42
Darth Vader #10

Questions:
For the people getting the Avengers. what is making you want to get it? I've been quite lackluster in the Avengers for the past few years, so I am considering this, but I want some others opinions.

Variants covers. I don't usually pay attention, but how does one get the variant cover? Is it a percentage of comics ordered?

Depends on the variant. Some are open to order, others incentive ratio (e.g. 1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:4999) and others open to order with minimum % order of the regular cover based on a previous issue (so pretty much requires retailers to do algebra).

Ask your retailer what the requirements are for the desired variant.

Getting
ASTONISHING X-MEN #7 LEG
OLD MAN HAWKEYE #1 (OF 12) LEG
ROGUE & GAMBIT #1 (OF 5) LEG
CAPTAIN AMERICA #697 LEG

HAWKEYE #14 LEG
TALES OF SUSPENSE #101 (OF 5) LEG

Maybe Priest's Inhumans: Once and Future Kings TPB

[rui no onna]

Agreed. Knowing that there's a complete story already written, that there won't be any hoping the writer gets to do what they had in mind before the next cross-over derails the book or the next relaunch catches up to them, is reassuring in a way.

Yes, absolutely feel the same way.

[maxhilary]

Despicable Deadpool #292 & 293
Spider-Man/Deadpool #26 & 27
Deadpool vs Old Man Logan #4
Rogue & Gambit #1
Astonishing X-Men #7

No Iceman? We won't let you leave! :P

Interesting that "No Surrender" is combining the creative teams in individual issues, rather than the more traditional method of keeping creative teams on their individual titltes during a cross-over. (This is not completely without precedent. But, it is still more rare. And, I cannot think of a major event that has done this recently.)


Glancing over the previews for the "Venom Inc." event shows that Costa and Slott are teaming up for that event. I might buy in, if only because I am a fan of both writers. Still hoping that Marvel does something with Lee Price (the previous host of the symbiote), but that is unlikely, at least until after the event.


I am going to add "Black Bolt" to my pull-list. (Been reading it consistently enough.)

Questions:
For the people getting the Avengers. what is making you want to get it? I've been quite lackluster in the Avengers for the past few years, so I am considering this, but I want some others opinions.

Waid's is a solid writer, his artists have been mostly great, Uncanny Avengers has been an enjoyable if slightly trivial romp. On the other hand I am not really a fan of U.S.Avengers and haven't read a single issue of Occupy Avengers.

Same for me. I'm already following UA, and would love to hop on Waid's Avengers but I hadn't up to now because frankly none of the characters on his Avengers team interest me. But this is advertised as epic, with an underlying promise of "getting back some of the old guard" (not in those words but that's how I understood it), so I'm all for it. I'm aware I might be sorely disappointed, but I'm willing to give Marvel this chance to wow me

The story seems to already be complete/planned, and since it's a weekly I don't expect delays, and there is minimal chance it will get altered midways (as we have seen at times with events). Plus, there are great artists on this title, which will surely help matters.

[Mike_Murdock]

Definitely:
Inhumans: Judgment Day - Hopefully it'll be a good end to Ewing's story, although I'll be sad to see it go
Daredevil 597 - Looks good
Jessica Jones 16 - Loved issue one
Black Panther 169
Black Bolt 9

Probably:
Defenders 9 - I'm getting over this story, but I'll let it finish out the arc.
Secret Warriors 12 - I'm a little worried this one is the last one.
Daredevil EC: Mike Murdock Must Die! - One day I feel I will own Daredevil in floppy, Essential Collection, and Epic Collection. What can I say. But, given my namesake, how could I pass this up?

I think I'm getting it, but I'm not positive:
Marvel Two-in-One 2
Tales of Suspense 101 - The "of 5" thing is just confusingly phrased now.

Maybe, not sure:
Rise of the Black Panther - I liked the crew, but I was burned by World of Wakanda. I might wait and see for this. I thought this was going to be a Comixology story.
X-Men Grand Design 2

I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but probably not full price:
New Mutants EC: Curse of the Valkyries

Probably not, but I could be persuaded:
Avengers 676
Avengers 676
Avengers 677
Avengers 678

no iceman? We won't let you leave!
