Waiting So Long

Damn right it's a spotlight item!
I'm also looking forward to the third and final
New X-Men
hardcover. I've actually managed to avoid spoilers for most of
the issues contained in this collection, so I'm looking forward to
reading it. (If there were an
X-Statix hardcover on
that list, I'd probably be feeling enough love towards Marvel to
qualify temporarily as a genuine Marvel fanboy.) (Thanks to
Marc-Oliver
Frisch for the link.)
Meanwhile, nothing much excites me from
DC's
August solicitations. The superhero titles look especially
grim, what with the
25-part
crossovers and
multiple
covers
from
"hot"
artists.
Suddenly DC seems more Marvel than Marvel itself.
EDIT: I take it back. No one can out-Marvel
Marvel. They've seen DC's bid and
upped
the ante considerably with a "special foil-enhanced cover"; a
"re-scripted" version of
Ultimate Spider-Man (am I the
only one who thought of
What's
Up, Tiger Lily?); and Rob Liefeld on interior art for a
brand-new X-FORCE #1. (Link via
Graeme.)
Finally, I am still planning on writing more about
reviewing.
I just want to make sure my thoughts are a little less scattered
first. (And if I never do deliver as promised, I'm going to claim
it was all just a brilliant homage to
Mother, Come Home.)
