deleted post

[Diammandis]

Huh? What happened to all the other books?

what other books? nothing seems to be missing

[phoenixzero23]

The Cable solicitation looks beautifull.
It's making me cry.

I also really don't like Laura new costume, she looked better has wolverine and this feels like a huge regression. we could have both logan and laura as wolverine.

[rutog98]

what other books? nothing seems to be missing

You made your second post while I was responding to the first. Thanks!

[cc008]

Klein's interiors for Deadpool look wonderful. Wish the description in the solicitation was as mature and carefully crafted.

[MarvelMaster616]

Looks like a great month for the middle of summer. I'm most intrigued by what's going on with Rachel. Her story has kind of fallen to the wayside due to Kitty and Colossus getting married. But she's had some issues unfolding behind the scenes. I'm wondering where this will lead her. With Jean back, I imagine she's got a lot to deal with. Hopefully, this story will give her that chance.

I'm also intrigued by the cover of X-men Blue that has the O5 actually protecting Emma Frost. Considering what she's done to them, that's a huge shift, but an intriguing one.

[Digifiend]

A classified book with no creative team or even a name? Seems to be a month too soon for Wolverine, since the Hunt books are still running...

[Diammandis]

I'm really excited for issue 31 as Bunn did say this is his favorite issue of Blue that he has written thus far

[DragonPiece]

I remember retailers complaining last time released solciits with a bunch of classified, I don't get the marketing purposes behind that that. Just be very discreet about what's in the comic, don't complete everything so a retailer won't know how they should order.

[Ambaryerno]

Woo, double-ship for X-23 in July. A bit lacking in details, but sounds like they could be picking up on Taylor's thread about hunting down the ones who hired her.

[Harpsikord]

Cable sounds stunning. The Travis Charest Gentle cover looks BEAUTIFUL.

Based on the New Mutants cover it's Rictor who dies.

[Digifiend]

Maybe Taylor was asked to set that up? He probably knew he was off the book by that point.
