User blog:Stature/June 2009 comics!



Marvel released its June 2009 solicitations. I thought it might be fun to check out the trades that are coming out, since that's how I read my comics. Maybe I'll make it a monthly feature for fun. We'll see if I get a response. I'm not talking about every book, so check out the link above if you have something to say about a book I didn't mention. They also have the monthlies if you're not a trade fan. Whatever, I'm just trying to host a chat about comics and help build a community.

ESSENTIAL DOCTOR STRANGE VOL. 4 TPB Collecting DOCTOR STRANGE #30-56; CHAMBER OF CHILLS #4 and MAN-THING #4.

ESSENTIAL THOR VOL. 4 TPB Collecting THOR #167-195.


 * I'm not sure how these stories rate, but I've yet to meet an Essential I didn't like.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: FIGHTING CHANCE VOL. 1 TPB Collecting CAPTAIN AMERICA #425-430.


 * Mark Gruenwald era. Might be good.  Americop is in it.  Always one of the stranger pages on our site.

PUNISHER: YEAR ONE TPB Written by DAN ABNETT & ANDY LANNING Penciled by DALE EAGLESHAM


 * Hmmm.... never heard of it. Pass for now.

EXCALIBUR VISIONARIES: ALAN DAVIS VOL. 1 TPB Collecting EXCALIBUR #42-50


 * I love that they are continuing to collect Excalibur, but I think they skipped a few since Excalibur Classic Volume 5. I guess those issued "don't count".  I'm sure they were bad, but I still want them.

POWER PACK CLASSIC VOL. 1 TPB Collecting POWER PACK #1-10.


 * It was only a matter of time. I love them because they're cute.  I also hate them because thier cute. Its complicated.

ULTIMATE ORIGINS TPB


 * Down the road perhaps. I still haven't read Ultimate Galactus or Ultimate War, so I still have some catching up before I get there, let alone Ultimatum.

X-MEN: THE END TRILOGY TPB


 * Collecting the trilogy. Might be fun.  Still, there's something ridiculous about a book called The End Vol 2 that I just can't get over.

DEADPOOL VOL. 1: SECRET INVASION TPB


 * I'm fairly meh about Daniel Way, but I do love the Poolman, and the Secret Invasion tie-in is a plus.

VENOM: DARK ORIGIN TPB


 * I like Zeb Wells.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS GN


 * Great for the classroom!

SPIDER-MAN: SINISTER SIX PREMIERE HC Collecting AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #334-339.


 * Great fun. We shall see how well this one still holds up.

HERCULES: PRINCE OF POWER PREMIERE HC


 * Collecting both Bob Layton Hercules minis. I've always wanted to read those.

X-MEN NOIR PREMIERE HC


 * Seriously, who asked for something like this? I like Noir well enough from time to time, but I don't want X-Men anywhere near it.  I'd rather just read straight Noir.  Check out Ed Brubaker's Scene of the Crime book from a few years back.  Good story. Probably a much better buy.

How about you guys? What has your attention?--Max 07:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
