A few more Marvel June Solicits

[long_silence]

Just some more solicits I thoughtscans_daily  might enjoy.




AVENGERS #14
Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS
Penciled by CHRIS BACHALO
Cover by ALAN DAVIS
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
As the Avengers are stretched to the breaking point by the events of FEAR ITSELF, prepare for a SURPRISE EVENT too SHOCKING to be revealed here--presaging a change in the ranks! And we can guarantee you the biggest shake-up in the Avengers roster since AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED!
32 PGS./Rated A …$3.99

Monica Rambeau! Finally!

I kinda love this cover because Ms. Marvel is hanging out with two former Captain Marvels, and they're all posing the same way.



FEAR ITSELF: YOUTH IN REVOLT #2 (of 6)
Written by SEAN McKEEVER
Pencils by MIKE NORTON
Cover by GIUSEPPE CAMUNCOLI
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
WE NEED YOU FOR THE INITIATIVE! with the Initiative draft in full swing, young heroes are joining the effort to stem the Serpent’s fearful tide…whether they want to or not! With Thor-Girl wrongfully imprisoned, her fellow Initiative recruits face a rising wave of paranoia and distrust from the very citizens they are meant to protect. And does Prodigy, reformed alcoholic and now deputized Initiative head, have what it takes to lead…or will he, too, fall prey to the coming darkness?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

It's cool to see Prodigy in this. He had an interesting story with the Initiative. Still no word on if Trauma will show up



FEAR ITSELF: FEARSOME FOUR #1 (of 4)
Written by BRANDON MONTCLARE
Pencils by MICHAEL KALUTA & RYAN BODENHEIM
Cover by MICHAEL KALUTA
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
FOUR MARVEL HEROES SUCCUMB TO FEAR ITSELF!
Do you fear… your protectors turning on you? Man-Thing has gone mad as fear consumes the world, and Manhattan will burn. The only heroes that seek to stop him have given into fear themselves, and no one is safe! Ryan Bodenheim illustrates the dark side of the Marvel universe as a team of monstrously talented artists spotlight Fear Itself, each through the eyes of a fallen hero. Eisner Hall of Famer Michael Kaluta leads the charge, transforming Nighthawk into the most frightening vigilante you’ve ever seen!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

She-Hulk teaming up with Howard the Duck? That's just asking for 4th wall breaking shenanigans



FEAR ITSELF: THE DEEP #1 (of 4)
Written by CULLEN BUNN
Pencils & Cover by LEE GARBETT
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
Namor is targeted for death by one of the hammer-wielding Worthy and this is a battle no one hero can survive! With the X-Men under siege from a shocking foe and all hope seemingly lost, the Sub Mariner finds an ally in his old friend Dr. Strange. Can Strange recruit a team powerful enough to keep the seas safe from the spread of fear and chaos gripping the world? If he can’t, there may just not be any hope for the rest of the Marvel Universe!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

According to interviews the team will be Dr. Strange, Namor, the Silver Surfer, Lyra the Savage She-Hulk, and possibly Namor's sidekick the X-student Loa. Kinda weird that they don't just call it Fear Itself: The Defenders but whatever.



IRON MAN 2.0 #6
Written by NICK SPENCER
Art by ARIEL OLIVETTI
Cover by SALVADOR LARROCA
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
The evil forces of the Serpent sweep across the Earth…and it’s up to War Machine, the Immortal Iron Fist, and the Weapons of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven to stop two of the strongest before they lay waste to an entire continent!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

The Immortal Weapons! And War Machine. Weird team up but still pretty cool. Nick Spencer is the new Secret Avengers writer too, and Prince of Orphans was a member of that team last I checked, I wonder if this story will tie in there.



AVENGERS: THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE #6 (of 9)
Written by ALLAN HEINBERG
Pencils & Cover by JIM CHEUNG
THE SCARLET WITCH RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE! With her memory and her powers finally restored, The Scarlet Witch returns to Avengers Mansion for a revealing reunion with Clint Barton and a fiery reckoning with the Avengers that provokes the Beast, Jessica Jones, and the mutant detectives of X-Factor to join the crusade. But will the Scarlet Witch continue the decimation she began in “House of M”? Or will she become the new mutant messiah?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

I have to admit, I never expected X-Factor to ever appear in this series. I know their original mission statement was to fix M-Day, but I didn't think Marvel editorial would ever give them a chance!



CAPTAIN AMERICA CORPS #1 (of 5)
Written by ROGER STERN
Penciled by PHILIPPE BRIONES
Cover by PHIL JIMENEZ
A mysterious Cosmic Entity has recruited five brave patriots for the ultimate commando mission. Their names are legend: The U.S. Agent, American Dream, Commander A, Captain America, and ... Captain America?! But what threat is so grave that two Captain Americas are needed? Who will lead the team? Can even these mighty heroes save our nation -- and the world -- in time? And what is the AmeriCommand? New York Times best-selling author Roger Stern (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) joins forces with artist Phillipe Briones (AMERICAN SON) to provide the answers!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

That's the MC2 American Dream btw.



X-MEN LEGACY #250 & 251
Written by MIKE CAREY
Penciled by KHOI PHAM
Cover by MICO SUAYAN
“AGE OF X: AFTERMATH!”
The X-Men have escaped the AGE OF X and returned to Utopia…unaware that something sinister followed them back. Upon discovering that this new evil has been loosed into the world, Rogue and Magneto round up a team of X-Men to hunt it down. But is this motley new crew of X-Men prepared for what awaits them?
250: 64 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
251: 32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99
ISSUE #250 Cover Shown

This just looks like such an interesting team. I'm glad Frenzy is adopting her Age of X look.

Comments

[sherkahn]

Iron Man 2.0..

that may be Arnim Zola in shadow.

[jcbaggee]

Isn't Red Skull in a Zola body still?

[drmcninja]

Maybe, but Fat Cobra could take Zola any minute of the day. So I guess that would make it a boring book, except Fat Cobra is in it, so it cant be. Its like an infinite loop of awesome.

[darkblade]

Is Steve reading Bruce's notes? I mean let's just look at this. After the original was shot by time bullets sending him on crazy time traveling adventures the hero's first sidekick who had taken a new identity takes up the mantle of their mentor and even retains it when their mentor returns from their temporal grave. From there the original goes on to start an organization spreading their legacy even further.

Steve is starting to come across as silver age Ollie.

[sadoeuphemist]

No, no, it was Batman who shot Darkseid with a bullet that had traveled through time, there's a distinct difference there.

[k_red]

I thought the exact same thing.

[auggie18]

I want every Children's Crusade cover as a poster. Get on that, Marvel. DC didn't take the "My Girlfriend is a Superhero" idea, you gotta take this one.


And now it has X-Factor? I could not be more excited for this book, unless it also involved Jean Grey and Superboy.

[drmcninja]

I have been waiting for a Layla Miller-Scarlet Witch showdown forever. I just hope the "Mutant Messiah" thing means she gives people their power back. I rather like the way this near-extinction thing has affected the mutants and Marvel U.

[drmcninja]

Oh my god, looks like Im going broke this month! SO many of these titles look like fun to me!

I'm a pretty big Prodigy fan, so I can look forward to that one (he always seemed to resonate with me, seemed more down to earth)-Most definitely buying Iron Man 2.0, because I love the Immortal Weapons with a fiery passion.-Defenders reunited? Buying that for sure (also Namor is awesome)-X Men Team, with Gambit, Charles, Mags, Rogue, and LEGION? Sign me up! (On a side note, who is that in the middle?)-Scarlet Witch returns? Full memory? Full power? Clint Barton? Layla Miller? X Factor? Yes. And the Fearsome Four just look spectacular.

On the other hand, whats with the boob ring on Monica's costume?

And I love how Man Thing has been brought to the forefront recently. Thats always been one of the most interesting characters to me.

[long_silence]

I'm glad to see Prodigy. The Initiative ended with him trying to reunite the Slingers, so hopefully we get some word on Ricochet and Dusk.

3 out of 4 Defenders with the Hulk's daughter in his stead. But still a pretty cool reunion.

That's Frenzy, Joanna Cargill former Acolyte, in the middle. She's wearing a new costume from the Age of X reality. Carey's been using her a bit over the years and now he's bringing her to the forefront.

[greenmask]

whats with the boob ring on Monica's costume

A VERY GOOD QUESTION. *eyerolls forever*

[sadoeuphemist]

Who's the guy on the X-man cover with the hair? Because, holy christ.

[misterbug]

Legion, Charles Xavier's schizophrenic son. And, I don't know either. They refuse to trim it. It's so very silly.

[pyrotwilight]

Wow, Monica, Carol and Noh-Varr altogether at the same time? Awesome. I've kinda wanted to see a big "Marvel" teamup of anyone who has used the name Marvel in the past.

IE thouse up there already and also
Sharon Ventura/Ms. Marvel/She-Thing
Adam the Blue Marvel
Marvel Girl(s)
Captain Marvel(s)

And any others I've missed.

[long_silence]

There's all of those Marvel Boys. Justice, Bob the Uranian of the Agents of Atlas and probably more.

And Moonstone was Ms. Marvel for a little while.

And then of course there's Phylla-Vell but I think she might be dead (I'm not sure, she and Moondragon just kept dying and coming back.)

[perletwo]

.....there's a Thor-Girl? How does that work? And does Asgard just turn out super-hammers wholesale?

[venatosapiens]

It is looking like that, isn't it? Why can't it be, I dunno, a spear or something? A spear of storms....now there's a visual I could get behind.

[book_of_daniel]

Monica has needed a good home for a while now. I hope she's there for more than just someone the new kid can talk down to.

[icon_uk]

Motto.

And all the Marvels say:

[apintrix]

STOP! In the name of love...

Re: And all the Marvels say:

[icon_uk]

They do have that girl-band thing going for them (Sorry Noh-Var or whatever your name is) don't they.

[mullon]

Even at the end of the world, that guy takes time to check out Ms. Marvel's ass. He has got his priorities straight.

[midnightvoyager]

Hey, it's the end of the world, what can he do? Might as well go out happy! So to speak.

[featheredserpent]

Alan Davis needs to do all the covers for everything, always.

[blackruzsa]

I like the covers.
Although who actually thought of naming someone THOR-GIRL?
Really?

I'm excited for how encompassing A:CC is getting to be. I mean, X-Factor! Interestingly enough, it seems like the storyline really is slowed down to squish in all the big players.

Cammo art! And Davis art is gorgeous, but once again, he portrays the gorilla-like features of probably the only way he can draw black people. Or, you know, bald black people.

[auggie18]

Apparently she was supposed to a pot-shot at Supergirl by whoever made it. I'm personally not seeing it, but whatever.

[big_daddy_d]

That's the MC2 American Dream btw.

Really? Because I've been looking forward to her appearance in the 616.

[long_silence]

Yeah Roger Stern confirmed it in a post on CBR

"Yes! The one and only Shannon Carter ... and her mighty Shield.

-- Uncle Rog "

Larroca doesn't even do good covers anymore

[jazzypom]

Wow, just... wow.

Can't wait for The Children's Crusade.

[skjam]

Hmm...so I'm guessing that Steve Rogers lifted the injunction against Kyle Richmond ever wearing the Nighthawk costume again that was a plot point in "The Last Defenders."

[long_silence]

I guess so. Though I think the writer has mentioned that Joaquin Pennyworth will be in this mini in some capacity as well.

[valtyr]

Captain America Corps? *clappy hands* With US Agent! And American Dream!

I have fingers crossed for Isaiah Bradley being one of the Caps, but I don't think it's very likely.

[righthondude]

I wish it was Jen that was in The Deep, not Lyra. Then I'd have to buy it!
