Neither is the top-secret black bag ops unit that dosed Frank. And don’t forget the Mayor of Philadelphia, who only sees one way of saving his already-shaky political career: killing Frank way before his six hours are up.

And the sacrifice necessary is none other than her own innocent child, Nathan Christopher Summers!

The super-hero Civil War is over, but Iron Man’s work is just beginning. As the new head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and creator of the nationwide Initiative program, he’s rebuilding the Avengers with a handpicked roster of Earth’s mightiest heroes: Wasp, Black Widow, Wonder Man, Sentry, Ares and new team leader Ms. Marvel. A group this powerful should be ready for just about anything — except, perhaps, the return of genocidal killing machine Ultron. The Avengers’ insane robotic foe has rebuilt himself yet again, this time in the form of...a beautiful woman!? Then, the team faces an even bigger threat when their outlaw ex-teammate Spider-Woman shows up with evidence that shape-shifting Skrulls have infiltrated Earth. Iron Man faces a harrowing dilemma: Who can he trust when any one of his allies might be an undetectable alien invader? There’s no time to figure it out, though, when a bio-weapon transforms New York’s populace into Venom-like monsters. Plus: the New Avengers, a time-travel quest and an earth-shaking confrontation with Doctor Doom! Collecting MIGHTY AVENGERS #1-11.

Adaptations by LARRY HAMA
Presented for the first time in North America: two amazing tales by some of Europe's top creators, starring the world's most popular super heroes! First, in DAREDEVIL & CAPTAIN AMERICA: DEAD ON ARRIVAL, a series of bizarre murders suggests that a long-dead villain has returned from the grave. The desperate New York Police Department turns to the Man Without Fear, Daredevil, to solve the case. Daredevil, however, is unaware that Captain America is also investigating on behalf of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. The result is all-out action and a titantic team-up for two of Marvel’s marquee heroes. Then, get ready for a vicious saga of bloody revenge as only the X-Men’s most popular mutant can deliver in WOLVERINE: SAUDADE! While on holiday in Brazil, Logan has his motorcycle stolen by a group of young boys — one of whom has a secret. When a brutal gang kidnaps the boy, Wolverine sets off on a quest to find him — leading to a deadly encounter with a corrupt faith healer who may not be what he appears! Plus: Brian Braddock, the original Captain Britain, is back in costume in a story from the U.K.’s SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN ADVENTURES #114 — but can even he help Spider-Man stop a Red Skull on the rampage? Also featuring a comprehensive atlas of Marvel Europe, from the splendor of Dr. Doom's Latveria to the wonders of Muir Island!

That is, until one brave soul approaches Frank Castle with his heart in one hand and a bag full of money in the other. Now Frank's no bounty hunter, and definitely no hero, but there are some things the Punisher just can't abide. Collecting PUNISHER MAX #61-65 AND HUNTED.

Die Preise sind allerdings sehr bedenklich. Es häufen sich die überlangen, extra teuren Ausgaben.

Re: Marvel-Solicitations 2009-02 (Feb)

Solange teure Hefte Überlänge haben, ist das ja okay. Aber 3,99 für 22 Seiten ist einfach zu viel. Jetzt geht das auch schon bei Ongoings los (siehe Hulk). Braucht der Herr Loeb mehr Geld, jetzt wo er seinen Tagesjob bei Heroes nich mehr hat?

She-Hulk ist raus!
Hm, dann müssten demnächst auch Moon Knight und Ghost Rider rausfliegen oder neu gestartet werden.
Mal schauen, ob die Namensänderung vom MAX Punisher was ändert. Sonst ist dieser auch ein heißer Kandidat zum Canceln seitens Marvel.
Bei mir fliegt nächsten Monat wohl endgültig Cap raus. Es sei denn, die aktuellen 6 Hefte überzeugen mich komplett.

Re: Marvel-Solicitations 2009-02 (Feb)

Kauft ihr eigentlich alle die Katze im Sack?
Jetzt werden ja schon bei über 10 Titel keine Erläuterungen eingestellt.

Dazu das mit den 3,99 finde ich auch nen übertriebenen Sprung.
Man beachte auch, dass das jetzt auch die Trades erfasst hat (zB Eternals)

Kauft ihr eigentlich alle die Katze im Sack?
Jetzt werden ja schon bei über 10 Titel keine Erläuterungen eingestellt.

Dazu das mit den 3,99 finde ich auch nen übertriebenen Sprung.
Man beachte auch, dass das jetzt auch die Trades erfasst hat (zB Eternals)In dem Fall ja. Das Team von War Machine und der Charakter interessiert mich (Tolle Previews!). Ich bin einer derjenigen, die mit Bendis' Einfluss auf das Marvel U und der Secret Invasion an sich SEHR zufrieden ist. Deshalb auch die Dark Avengers (Obwohl Deodato schon abschreckt...) Hickman vertrau ich ebenfalls. Mit Stefano bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass die Secret Warriors rocken werden.

Zudem bewegen den geneigten Trade-Leser einige Entwicklungen dazu, die Ongoings zu pullen. Den Punisher gibt's allerdings im Trade.
