    Variant Cover by DENNIS CALERO

    “The coroner’s men flipped the redheaded corpse over so Dukes and Magnus from Homicide could get a better look at her. ‘Better’ being a relative term in this case, with the claw marks that slashed her face into a featureless, bloody mask and turned her guts into a butcher shop explosion.
    “But the tattoo — the simple, encircled ‘X’ above the left shoulder blade — remained intact, and Dukes pointed it out with the toe of his wingtip once Peter the rookie was done heaving up lunch.
    “‘See this ink?’ he said. ‘Means she did time at this reform school upstate, run by this shrink, Xavier…'”

    Variant Cover by DENNIS CALERO

    With great power, there must also come great responsibility — and when those in power abuse it, it’s the people’s responsibility to remove them. The year is 1933, and New York City is not-so-secretly run by corrupt politicians, crooked cops, big businesses…and suave gangland bosses like New York’s worst, the Goblin. But when a fateful spider-bite gives the young rabble-rouser Peter Parker the power to fight the mobster who killed his Uncle Ben, will even that be enough? It’s a tangled web of Great Depression pulp, with familiar faces like you’ve never seen them before! By “Hardboiled” David Hine, Fabrice “The Spider” Sapolsky and Carmine “Carbine” Di Giandomenico!

    From the Watcher’s Datalog: When a handful of Earth’s heroes and villains were kidnapped across several light years to the
alien Battleworld to fight a Secret War,  Doctor Doom thought he’d successfully stolen the power of the cosmic entity called the Beyonder. However, Doom was unaware he had only stolen a portion of the Beyonder’s near limitless abilities and the tables were turned, stripping the uber-villain of his newfound godhood. But what if…? What if events occurred differently? What if Doom discovered his mistake before it was too late and won the Secret War?  In other words…“What If Doctor Doom Kept the Beyonder’s Power?” And featuring the conclusion of a special five part back-up story, ‘What if the Runaways Became the Young Avengers?’ In this issue… “Young Avengers Assemble!”

    A classic Marvel hero redefined by one of comics’ greatest visionaries! A Marvel Comics mainstay since 1964, Daredevil got a new lease on life in a landmark 1979-1983 run by writer-penciler Frank Miller and inker-penciler Klaus Janson, whose daring reinvention of the character quickly made Miller one of the biggest and most influential stars in the comic-book industry. Miller put his own stamp on established cast members such as reporter Ben Urich, femme fatale Black Widow, mad assassin Bullseye, the saw-fisted Gladiator and monstrous crime boss Kingpin. Miller also introduced Daredevil’s mysterious mentor Stick, deadly ninja foes the Hand and Matt’s long-lost love Elektra, a beautiful assassin who would become one of Marvel’s most memorable characters. Mixing traditional super-heroics with mysterious martial artistry, doomed romance and dark personal drama, Miller’s character-defining DD run is collected across three titanic trade paperbacks!

      Save for Ed Brubaker’s Captain America, there ISN’T ANYTHING I’d even consider buying.

      Plus, we have definitive proof of Joe Quesada’s complete incompetence: NO ASTONISHING X-MEN HAS BEEN SOLICITED! Well, that’s shocking.

      Who is that woman pictured at the top? It almost looks like Rogue but to be honest, my first thought was Mary Marvel for some reason. At least until I read the copy…

      Can we please have a moritorium on blaming Joe Quesada every time Astonishing X-Men (or insert favorite title) is not solicited by Marvel? Please? It’s gotten just a little bit old…

      Reply
    4. Andy G on September 16, 2008 2:23 pm

      Baal it is Rogue. The Exiles version at least.

      Never mind Astonishing not being solicited I’m more concerned about when we’re to going to see an Avengers story or two. After 8 months of SI they’re jumping into Dark Reign. We’ve more Avengers titles than ever with the uniting theme being the Avengers not being in any of them. I like Bendis but I want the Mansion, a Chairman and some two-dimensional villains intent on conquering the universe simply because they can for a change. Oh well maybe Cornell can do it with MI-13.

      “These solicits are classified until the release of Secret Invasion #8.”

      Fine. Then my orders are classified until the release of your solicits. Play your schmucky little mind games, Joey, but I ain’t orderin’ crap sight-unseen. Solicit-unseen. Whatever. And if you don’t have solicits up by the time my pre-order needs to be sent in, then I’ll skip the entire event.

      I’ve absolutely had it up to —

      — here with Marvel’s “secrecy” bunk. If they can’t at least say something like, “After the events of SECRET INVASION, Ms. Marvel looks to pick up the pieces. But she’ll have to turn to special guest star X when the unexpected happens!”, a blurb which gives away absolutely nothing but a secondary character’s name, why even bother soliciting the book at all? Bad enough that folks have to order two months out, but now we have to order two months out BLIND, too???

      No. No more. (Oh, and don’t even get me started on the FF special — apparently without any connection to SI — that also can’t be solicited with so much as a hint of the contents. Heck, it can’t even be solicited with the cover artist’s last name. No. Just… no.)

      Brother129: You’re not a Marvel fan, are you? ;p

      But you have to admit that the latest move from House of Secret Ideas has to end up in the “stupid” column. I can almost see the egos when I look out my window and I live in Puerto Rico.
