Marvel expands the Astonishing titles....

[sherkahn]

New announcements over at the House of Ideas as the interview with Senior Vice President of Sales and Circulation David Gabriel about how Marvel's best are getting limited series to play with. IGN has the interview with David Gabriel. Possible spoilers for Second Coming (The Return, Part II).




Who lives, who dies, who gets a costume change.... and who the f is the albino making super slutty poses with the droopy body parts? Loving Ororo's look, though.

No Colossus? Must be with Kitty.... and no Jubilation Lee? I have no beef against Armor, but gimme some Jubes!




2 members of Marvel's trinity of main characters, the good cop/bad cop, the boys who push the funny papers. Kicking butt, taking names and fighting over red-heads....

Quote from the interview:

"This will give creators the greatest freedom to work on these books, without the rigors of a monthly time frame. And the end product will be an evergreen story that will be just as timeless in 20 years as it is today, much like Marvels, Wolverine Origin, and of course any of the Astonishing X-Men line. " - David Gabriel

How about staying within continuity and fixing the damn Spider-marriage while you are at it, boys. I have hope, as these seem to be the new flagships for Marvel....
