Marvel Comics October Solicits Covers

Yay! New solicits from Marvel Comics!


Avengers # 6

- Looks like Thor will be facing off against Kang and the rest of his cohorts. Maestro vs. Thor FTW!!!


Chaos War # 1

- With a cover by Ed McGuiness, you know you can't go wrong. You really should be following Prince of Power to get the idea.



Ultimate Comics Avengers 3 # 3

This was pretty much the book that riled up Mark Millar since the X-Men books were doing the whole "Vs. Vampires" storyline. And here's something to consider. Around this time on this book and in the X-books, both Captain America & Wolverine get turned into vampires. Coincidence? or was Victor Gischler swiping the idea from Mark Millar?


Ultimate Comics X # 5

Jeph Loeb may not be the most popular writer on the block but he can still write mean stuff for the shallow readers like me. I like my books with drama and action and no overarching meta stuff. And he delivers on that note. Incidentally, why are these ragtag bunch getting the ultimate Hulk for their team??? Arthur Adams is awesome BTW!

Jonathan Hickman to take on Ultimate Comics Thor

Jonathan Hickman is continuing to wow us with his choice of titles to work on. Not only are we getting some of the best Fantastic Four books we've seen in recent years, were also seeing exceptional work for his mini SHIELD which delves into Marvel's secret history.

Now we've got exceptional news from SDCC.

Jonathan Hickman will be writing ULTIMATE COMICS THOR


The art chores will be handled by Carlos Pacheco and will delve around the eons of time from Thor and Loki's childhood all the way to the hippie Thor we've seen during Mark Millar's Ultimates to what he has become in Jeph Loeb's New Ultimates book.



(Papa Odin together with Hunin and Munin)


(Some wicked redesigns for Loki, who apparently was heavy on BDSM before discovering Armani suits.)

HEIMDALL


(Im betting this is Volstagg)


(Fandrall)


(Hogun the Grim)

The 4 issue miniseries will also tell the story of the Ragnarok cycle which will involve Nazis.

It really appeals to me that Marvel is starting to cash in on everything related to the Norse god of Thunder and for good measure.
