issues in the first month

JESUS MARVEL, NO!

Quake, wants no part of Hydra, so she goes underground, teaming up with Ms. Marvel, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, Karnak and Inferno to set things right – for the Inhumans, but also for the entire country! Secret Warriors is one part coming-of-age story, one part spy-thriller, all action and all heart. Don't miss the next (and final?) generation of Inhumans as they take the Marvel Universe by storm!

32 pages, $3.99.

Why I'd Rocket jerking Puck off?

Red Skull or someone else tells the cosmic cube to delete the whole thing from existence.

32 pages, $3.99.

I thank you, kind user.

That's a good thing. Means they might actually be planning on keeping their schedule of this summer event actually being a SUMMER event and not a "take up half the year" event.

Wait, they're triple shipping Secret Empire with two $5 issues and then making every title posted from the solicit so far a tie-in? What the fuck is this shit?

3 issues in one month? Damn.
So it looks like the 3 disasters going on at once orchestrated by Captain Hydra are the Chitauri Invasion, the Masters of Evil attack and Baron Mordo bringing Hell on Earth.

ALL-NEW GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #1 & 2

Gerry Duggan (W), Aaron Kuder (A/C), Jeffery Veregge (VC), Aaron Kuder (VC), John Tyler Christopher (VC), Leinil Yu (VC), Skottie Young (VC).

* The Guardians of the Galaxy have taken off into space once more, on their biggest and weirdest misadventures yet! Kicking things off with the biggest heist they've ever tried, we join Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon and company as they blast their way through the galaxy, the peacekeepers of the Nova Corps hot on their tails. And once they find themselves caught in a war between The Collector and The Grandmaster, there will hardly be time to explain why Groot can't grow any bigger, what Gamora is searching for or why Drax has sworn off violence! But don't worry, we will -- with a new twice-monthly schedule, All-New Guardians of the Galaxy has space for ALL your Marvel Cosmic needs!

32 pages, $3.99.

Standoff is part of Spencer's Captain America run. happens around 7-9 of Captain America: Sam Wilson.

That's kinda lame, but so is cosmic cube as a plot device either way.

They're ramming it in the hole, if you like it or not, punk.

ROCKET #1

Al Ewing (W), Adam Gorham (A), Mike Mayhew (C), Tim Bradstreet (VC).

* It's a dirty universe out there, even when you're not regularly mistaken for trash-foraging vermin. And it's about to get dirtier. He thought his paws were clean, that he was on the up-and-up. But then an old flame swam back into his life, and he was back in the game... the heist game. If you need a safe cracked, a vault busted or a score taken...ask for Rocket. Just don't call him a raccoon.

32 pages, $3.99.

>Galactus! Help us! Steve Rogers has taken over the Earth!
>Shut up bitch, I'm too busy saving the multiverse to care about who's currently in charge of your planet.

>there will hardly be time to explain why Groot can't grow any bigger

Synergy?

Unless Steve kills him in the lead-up, he'd have to be. Although I guess him being the first person to find out the truth about Steve doesn't really matter when the whole world finds out in the first issue.

I AM GROOT #1

Christopher Hastings (W), Flaviano (A), Marco D'Alfonso (C), Jay Fosgitt (VC), Skottie Young (VC).

* When the Guardians of the Galaxy get caught in a wormhole, a smaller-than-normal Groot is separated billions of light-years away from the team. Falling to a planet below, Groot discovers he is on an entirely alien and unknown world full of strange creatures and societies. Seriously underdeveloped and with nobody who can understand him, Groot will need to make the journey to the center of this world and find the way back to his family!

32 pages, $3.99.

So the GotG still haven't left Earth?

Didn't he turn into the devourer again? He'd probably just eat Earth now that Reed is gone.

Hey that's how this whole thing started, cosmic cube fuckery. Might as well end the same way

He's orchestrating the Chitauri Invasion and Masters of Evil attack. I think Baron Mordo's thing is just a case of "how can one bad day get any worse?"

JEAN GREY #1

Dennis Hopeless (W), Victor Ibanez (A), David Yardin (C), Shawn Crystal (VC), Leonard Kirk (VC), Marguerite Sauvage (VC), Stephanie Hans (VC), Dave Cockrum (VC).

When a teenage Jean Grey traveled through time and arrived in the present, she learned the terrible fate that befell her predecessor: Possessed by a cosmic entity called the Phoenix, Jean was trapped in an endless cycle of life and death. Determined to escape that future, Jean set out to write her own destiny. But now, she's visited by a premonition that the Phoenix is coming for her...and in this new ongoing series, she's going to fight tooth and nail to escape becoming its next victim!

32 pages, $3.99.

Well at least they now know of the larger cosmic threat and Galactus won't stay in the sidelines.

Steve Rogers wants to put Inhumans and mutants into concentration camps, right?

>That's a good thing.
It's a good thing in the sense that Secret Empire really is a "Just Get It Over With" event on the way to their half-assed insincere version of Rebirth.

Carol's stuff is the cosmic portion, so it might not take place on Earth.

GENERATION X #1

Christina Strain (W), Amilcar Pinna (A), Terry Dodson (C), Kevin Wada (VC), John Tyler Christopher (VC), Leonard Kirk (VC), Rahzzah (VC), Bryan Hitch (VC).

* The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach has opened its doors and is ready to foster the next generation of heroes and diplomats! But this time around, the X-Men recognize an unfortunate truth: not all mutants are created equal. Some mutants are not made to fight Sentinels or serve as ambassadors on behalf of their kind. Some mutants will just be lucky to survive another day in a world that hates and fears them. And who better to mentor mutantkind's lovable losers than perpetual sidekick Jubilee? But will Jubilee and Generation X survive the experience??

32 pages, $3.99.

This event is relatively restrained in terms of tie-ins.

>the peacekeepers of the Nova Corps
Wait, they're back? Not bad, surprised it took this long really.

He's a white male, of course he's evil. We're all evil user, you're oppressing people by just existing.

>first issue is a tie-in for an event

Dead by issue 10

Yep.

GENERATION X #2

Christina Strain (W), Amilcar Pinna (A), Terry Dodson (C), John Tyler Christopher (VC).

* The Xavier Institute is put on lockdown when mutant-hunting Purifiers infiltrate the campus!

* And even though Jubilee's charges are ordered out of harm's way, some of her students can't help but enter the line of fire.

* Class has only been in session for one day, and Generation X is about to learn some important lessons the hard way...

32 pages, $3.99.

Is Secret Empire the first event to focus on nothing but the editorial pet characters and MCU shit? Every event had at least a Frontline like book with C-Listers.

>Will Dagger prove to be the key to stopping this nightmare?
Nice to see Cloak and Dagger being prominent in an event, guess we have their upcoming TV show to thank.

CABLE #1

James Robinson (W), Carlos Pacheco (A), Dale Keown (C), Adam Kubert (VC), Billy Martin (VC), Whilce Portacio (VC), Leonard Kirk (VC), John Tyler Christopher (VC), Mike Choi (VC).

* Cable sees the mighty mutant return on a brand-new mission...with all of time in the balance! When Cable picks up the trail of a threat in the timestream, he sets off on a high-speed, history-spanning chase to save reality as we know it. From prehistory to modern day, whether it's a six-gun duel at high noon or a high-tech sword fight in an ancient land, Cable is the only man who can keep history from unraveling!

32 pages, $3.99.

It was only a mater of time
Fuck off shitposter

>Is Secret Empire the first event to focus on nothing but the editorial pet characters and MCU shit?
Did you somehow miss Civil War II?

BLACK BOLT #1

Saladin Ahmed (W), Christian Ward (A/C), Paul Pope (VC), Rahzzah (VC), Jack Kirby (VC), John Tyler Christopher (VC).

* The king of the Inhumans' first solo series!

Black Bolt imprisoned! But by who? And where exactly? The answers to both will shock you! But to learn those answers, Black Bolt must first win a fight to the death with a fellow inmate -- The Absorbing Man! Award-winning science fiction writer Saladin Ahmed (Throne of the Crescent Moon) crafts a story as trippy as it is action-packed, with truly mind-bending art from the one and only Christian Ward!

32 pages, $3.99.

>Captain Hydra takes credit for the Baron Mordo thing anyway and insists to Zemo and Selvig that it was totally part of his keikaku

LUKE CAGE #1

David F. Walker (W), Nelson Blake (A), Rahzzah (C), Mike Deodato Jr. (VC), Leroy Davis (VC), Tim Bradstreet (VC).

* Caged Vengeance!

* Dr. Noah Burstein, the man who made Luke Cage into the unbreakable hero he is today, is dead. When Luke goes down to New Orleans for the funeral, he finds The Big Easy to be pretty &$#% difficult. Mysterious billionaires, a woman with a secret, amped-up gangs and a shadowy figure all lead Luke to the conclusion that there's more to his father-figure's death than meets the eye. He's looking for answers, and it's a bad day for anyone in his way!

32 pages, $3.99.

Thunderbolts canceled.

Black Bolt has done plenty of things throughout his life to merit space jail, but how did Crusher Creel end up there? He's never messed with anything outside of Earth, unless you count the Asgardians.

ZOMBIES ASSEMBLE #1 & #2

Yusaku Komiyama (W/A/C), Jim Zub (Adapted), Tony Moore (#1VC).

The original manga is adapted into English for the first time! Time and again, the Avengers have assembled to save the Earth from destruction.

Now, Earth's Mightiest Heroes must fight to contain an outbreak of horrifying zombies, and stop them from spreading across the Earth! But not all of the Avengers will escape uninfected...

#1, 48 pages, $4.99.

#2, 40 pages, $4.99.

Frank?

>Secret Empire is a 10-issue triple shipped event.
AHAHAHA Isn't one month going to essentially be weekly with the #0 issue?

Civil War II had a tie-in with Nightthrasher and Damage Control stories.

I want to fuck the deer girl

It helps that this is being written by Spencer who has some history with the characters.

CHAMPIONS #8

Mark Waid (W), Humberto Ramos (A/C)

* The fallout from the team's encounter with the Freelancers continues! The Champions realize they have to reframe their purpose – but does that mean undertaking even riskier missions?

AVENGERS #7

Mark Waid (W), Mike Del Mundo (A), Alex Ross (C)

* The Infamous Iron Man joins the Avengers – or, to hear him tell it, they're joining HIM.

32 pages, $3.99.

>Dr. Noah Burstein, the man who made Luke Cage into the unbreakable hero he is today, is dead
I honestly didn't know he was still alive.

Probably tried absorbing the power cosmic or some shit.

Wha?

Gerry Duggan (W), Pepe Larraz (A), Ryan Stegman (C).

* After battling Ultron, the undead Hulk and Red Skull, the team desperately needs a rest, but they won't get it because Wonder Man is back!

* Guest starring several big brains from both the Avengers and the X-Men.

* Plus, Synapse tries to help a badly wounded teammate by entering their mind.

32 pages, $3.99.

Yeah, a tie-in, I'm sure this event will also have tie-ins where minor characters who will probably not be in the MCU anytime soon do stuff.

>not posting the Detective Cage variant
But why?

>–
What

And why is Female Thor and Hercules there?

so... the final issue?
also, great, Sunspot nor Cannonball barely lasted in avengers, and already killed

They're translating some of the Avengers manga and manwhas that have been released into english like Avengers K.

>Wonder Man is back!
About time. I guess that means Grim Reaper won't stay dead much longer either.

MIGHTY THOR #19

Jason Aaron (W), Russell Dauterman (A/C)

* The "Asgard/Shi'ar War" comes to a fiery conclusion!

* The gods of the Shi'ar make their final play against Thor and her allies! With the Phoenix Force unleashed, it's up to Quentin Quire to quell its destructive power...if he feels like it.

* Odinson has returned -- but what awaits him in the war-torn Asgardia?

32 pages, $3.99.

Why is Ms. Marvel sucking Peter off?

underrated joke

#0 comes out in April. Then three issues in May and double-shipping the rest of the way.

INFAMOUS IRON MAN #8

Brian Michael Bendis (W), Alex Maleev (A/C)

* The Maker unleashes his grand design, a plan as demented and over-arching as anything Doctor Doom has ever attempted!

32 pages, $3.99.

INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #7

Brian Michael Bendis (W), Stefano Caselli (A/C)

* The whole world loves Riri Williams, Ironheart! Well, that is, except for those people who have a bone to pick with how she's doing the job. Oh, and the new villain who'd like to take a piece out of her.

* You know, come to think of it, a whole lot of people aren't that fond of Riri Williams at the moment. What's a girl to do?

32 pages, $3.99.

>axe

Wait a minute, why isn't Thor Odinson wielding Ultimate Mjolnir?

Seriously, doesn't she know that's how you get cancer?

for fuck sake, let me guess... these characters on the cover are inhumans?

>Hercules
Because Cho is more of a Hercules legacy than he is a Hulk legacy. Don't know why Thor is there as Cyclops' equivalent.

THE TOTALLY AWESOME HULK #19

Greg Pak (W), Mahmud Asrar (A), Stonehouse (C).

* The war against mutantkind never really ended, the weapons just got more lethal. The mysterious director of the Weapon X Program is behind the recent creation of new soldiers – ones that can hide in plain sight, and are deadly enough to take out Sabretooth and Old Man Logan.

Where's his fucking Hammer? Aaron you goddamn bitch!

>The whole world loves Riri Williams, Ironheart!
Why....?

>except for those people who have a bone to pick with how she's doing the job.
Why...? How is she doing her job?

OCCUPY AVENGERS #7

David F. Walker (W), Gabriel Hernandez Walta (A), Nic Klein (C).

* Clint Barton and his team of Avengers find themselves caught in the middle of a deadly showdown of intergalactic proportions. Like really intergalactic.

* But that's just the beginning of their problems (provided they don't get killed before things get really bad).

32 pages, $3.99.

>Bendis writes not-616 Doom VS Ultimate Reed

I really want this to be good and Infamous has been good for Bendis so far.

>reframe their purpose
What was their purpose again?

>but does that mean undertaking even riskier missions?
What does that even mean? I don't get it.

Yoooioooooooooo WW is back!

If Only beast had survived inhumans vs
X-men he would be happy

Most likely. Or mutants, or aliens. All three are getting the concentration camp treatment once Emperor America takes over.
