Probably I'll pass on OML #10. I thought that the Tie & History between Wolverine and Japan had already finished by the death of Logan/Daken (E-616). He had constantly chosen and proved himself to be a well-trained and obedient Hero. a failure as a samurai, or a gaijin-father.

I really love Claremont & Miller Wolverine, but I feel that OML wouldn't need anything from japanese elements any longer. His path on samurai is over.

• The one thing that could tear the Ultimates apart forever is inside that briefcase...
• ...and someone just opened it.

How are the sales on Ultimates? It seems like Marvel is preemptively setting it up for cancellation at issue 12.

I know a few people were only reading it for Black Panther, so that's a factor. And a lot of people, myself included, don't like what Ewing did to Galactus. I CAN see it being relaunched, however.

27 Ultimates #1 $3.99 Marvel 61,406
66 Ultimates #2 $3.99 Marvel 37,055
65 Ultimates #3 $3.99 Marvel 30,068
67 Ultimates #4 $3.99 Marvel 27,177
67 Ultimates #5 $3.99 Marvel 28,627
74 Ultimates #6 $3.99 Marvel 26,146

I hope it doesn't get canceled. Really enjoying the story so far, and other than Carol And T'Challa we probably won't see much of the others elsewhere. Not sure how much it would help, but perhaps having some issues with Black Panther bigger on the cover to try and attract some of his current spike in readers(we'll see how much that last after obvious #1 boost). So far we have had 3 covers with Galactus as the only or biggest character on cover, and 1 with Thanos as biggest focus.

Was #givebacktheshield actually trending at any point? Because I didn't even know that hashtag existed.

Irl I doubt it, Inside the Marvel universe yes.

This is another expensive month for me!

All-New Wolverine 11
All-New Wolverine Annual 1
All-New X-Men 12
Civil War II 5
Civil War II: X-Men 3
Extraordinary X-Men 13
Guardians of the Galaxy 11
Mighty Thor 10
Rocket Raccoon and Groot 8
Silver Surfer 7
Ultimates 10
Uncanny Avengers 12
Uncanny Avengers 13
Uncanny Inhumans 13
Uncanny Inhumans Annual 1
Uncanny X-Men 11
Vote Loki 3
X-Men '92 6

MAYBE:
The Fallen 1
The Accused 1
Civil War II: Ulysses 1

The problem is: I have no idea what The Fallen or The Accused are. I presume equivalents to "The Confession"? Or maybe side stories like "Dark Reign: The List: (whatever character/team)"? It's such a heavy month that I'm reticent to preorder without having a sense of what they are. Is there a conference/convention coming up where they'll announce it? I remember a couple of years ago there were a bunch of "Classified" solicitations, and it turned out that between the solicitation and the end of the month, there was a major con where they announced what the series were. Maybe that'll happen again?

I just dropped All-New Inhumans, as the characters don't interest me much. I'm more interested in the intrigue in Uncanny Inhumans. So that saves a bit of cash.

Thankfully no TPBs!

I was more meaning that once Carol goes off the reservation with Civil War II the team is essentially over. Anyone not on Team Carol won't be on speaking terms with anyone who is, at least for another event cycle or two.

It's very possible that the sales will bump up slightly for the CW2 tie-in, so the series might have a bit more mileage in it than expected. It's not like Ultimates is a big-name these days anyway, so Marvel shouldn't feel too much pressure to make the series sell big.

I hope this event sells poorly.

I hope this event sells poorly.

It's Bendis writing a hero vs hero event; of course it's gonna sell pretty well.
