Siege ends in April and it seems that Marvel has decided to end all four of its core Avengers books with the event (and presumably relaunch them in the Summer). IGN has the solicits here.

MIGHTY AVENGERS #36
Written by DAN SLOTT
Pencils & Cover by KHOI PHAM

SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!!

SALVATION Pt. 2 of 2 - "WWJVDD"

SERIES FINALE! While the Mighty Avengers are fighting on the front lines of SIEGE, can HANK PYM and JOCASTA stop the Avenger's greatest enemy, ULTRON, by themselves? Or will Pym-Space become the ultimate staging ground for a cybernetic-assault on all of reality? See SIEGE through the eyes of the Avengers with the most to lose!

The Dark Reign is ending, the Age of Heroes is coming, but before that can happen... there's a wedding? And more than one character is thinking, "What would Janet Van Dyne do?" We can't be any more cryptic than that. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one.

32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99


Hank's marrying Jocasta isn't he? Ew.


AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #35
Written by CHRISTOS N. GAGE
Penciled by JORGE MOLINA
Cover by DAVID YARDIN

SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!!

This is it: the series finale – and the end of the Initiative as we know it! Learn the fate of your favorite heroes, villains... and those who aren't quite sure what they are, but who are going to have to decide in a hurry!

Who will taste sweet victory? Who will know the agony of defeat? For some this is an end -- for others, a new beginning (which you'll be reading about very soon)! Camp H.A.M.M.E.R. is falling...and The Heroic Age is dawning!

32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

I think that the series replacing the Initiative was announced a few months back. Avengers Academy by Gage and Mckone, don't quote me on that though.

Also apparently there are going to be a number of one shots at the end of Siege. No covers or solicits yet.

Dude, since when have you known ME to praise ANYTHING except on a purely CONDITIONAL basis? If anything, I share your nerdrage about how overrated certain parts of that run are - I HATED when everyone was all OMG EZEKIEL AND MORLUN ARE THE BEST NEW CHARACTERS EVAR, and Shathra (the Spider-Wasp) was a horribly executed, shitty shell of a character (example of JMS's internally inconsistent writing - when Shathra is introduced, we're told that she's beyond any vestige of human emotion, but at the end, she's begging Spider-Man for "MERCY," a concept that JMS had already established she does not even comprehend, much less possess).

Ever notice how whenever we have discussions, the topic invariable will have at least 50 comments or more?

It's because, even when we agree, we manage to do it LOUDLY.

"NO, FUCK YOU, I THINK YOUR OPINION IS VALID!"

"OH YEAH? WELL, YOU RAISE GOOD POINTS TOO, YOU FUCKHOLE!"

I think JMS run had some good points and some bad points. Just like Spider-man in general.

That said, I think it's pretty much impossible to write truly "Great" Spider-man stuff. (too many constraints) the best you can get is "good" stuff (which I'm happy to buy) and every run throws up SOME good stuff. (it's the ratio of "good" to "dreck" that is important)
