Marvel's March 2009 Solicitations

A totally arbitrary look at some of the stuff being released this March...

- I skipped Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk when it started, but since then, I've become completely obsessed & consumed with LOST. So I will be getting that.

- Why do all the characters on the cover of Ultimatum #4 look like their regular MU counterparts? Is there any point in that imprint whatsoever anymore?

- I'll hand it to Marvel & Bendis, I'm interested in what's up with the Avengers books... not enough to spend $3.99 an issue, of course, but hey...

- Speaking of which, I guess the cover to Dark Avengers #3 makes it pretty clear that Hawkeye is in fact Bullseye in disguise. Thanks for the spoilers, Marvel.

- I recently read The Nightly News, and based on that, I'm getting Secret Warriors.

- A crossover with Deadpool insures I'm dropping Thunderbolts Not a knock on Deadpool, I'm just not buying an extra book for several months. I'm cheap.

- I'll probably get the new Punisher series. Remender & Opena are a great team. Opena's art is awesome in Fear Agent.

- Does Eric Nguyen on Eternals mean he's off Gigantic? That would suck.

- Every Immortal Iron Fist solicitation makes me want to get all the issues since Fraction left... it looks cool and sounds cool.

- The X-Books are becoming a microcosm of the Marvel U in general: they're in constant Next Event Mode, but it's an event contained entirely to the X-books.

- Incognito is going to be one of my favorite books of 2009. You watch.

- $74.99 is kind of pricey for Bru & Fraction's Immortal Iron Fist Omnibus. It's just right for Bru's Daredevil Omnibus, though. That goes on my birthday list.

- Jesus, Marvel really is reprinting everything in HC, aren't they? Those random issuies of Avengers and FF whenre Jean Grey came back? A bunch of random Hawkeye stories? Good lord.

- I may check out Punisher War Journal: Jigsaw. I like Fraction & Remender. I'm not sure why I don't buy that series already, actually.

DC's solocits next time.
