Diamond's List of Marvel October Solicits Confirm X-Line's Continuation

[Panfoot]

Gotta keep those dollar shares up. I suspect Riri as Iron Man is going to be character who gets most of the speculator/new reader interest, though.

Yeah, though I don't know how well that will actually go. I can see both Invincible and Infamous #1 selling great thanks to new leading characters, but I don't know many of those people praising the decision to have Riri be the new Iron Man will actually bother reading the books or not, it's all good press but does it actually translate to sales? Then on the other hand, the current Iron Man book is pretty bad and have given us zero reason why we should want to read about Riri as a replacement for Tony Stark, so that brings in a question of how many people will stick with the book(I won't, but I imagine a large chunk will out of loyalty). I wouldn't be surprised to see a sharp drop for the 2nd issue.

From whom you think Diamonds gets the Marvel solicitations?

WikiLeaks ?.

Definitely.

Late to this party, but a careful read of the solicits shows that the appearance of X-titles in October confirms/denies nothing related to their cancellations. Many of the NOW returning ongoing titles in the special preview don't hit their NOW introductory issues for another few months. We won't know the X-books aren't cancelled until we see January solicits - and, given that overlaps with the timing of the end of Death of X, we could be in for some surprises.

Death of X ends in November and All-Mew Wolverine is starting a new story line in October.

WikiLeaks ?.

Please be joking.

That's why it's good that we have organizations like Diamond and Bleeding Cool that will let fans know what's going on when Marvel decides not to.

Wonder how many time per minutes you refresh Diamond and Bleedingcool pages?

Please be joking.

I'm joking, but you never know.

Perhaps they have a mic inside the potted plant next to Axel Alonso's office where Rich Johnston lives.
