Fun with Sept solicits
Marvel and DC September solicits... Things that catch my eye.
Marvel
I wish I could get more caught up with the Marvel Knights 5th Anniversary, but I can't. 2099? Doesn't really matter to me.
Daredevil #65 looks pretty good - some great guest artists lined up. Hopefully they'll have more than just one panel.
Wolverine #17 is Greg Rucka's last issue. In some ways, his run has been very enjoyable - full of action and certainly more interesting characterization than the Tieri run that had a lot of bizarre ideas (such as ripping off Survivor, Mortal Kombat and the vampire villain). But on the other hand, there hasn't really been much about the character Wolverine himself. I've always liked the inner monologue but here, I feel like Wolverine is just another character in his own book. We don't see as much of what he's thinking. Not sure if that's Rucka or a Marvel mandate on no-monologues. Millar is coming onto this book next, hopefully it will be great.
Pulse #5 concludes the book's first arc. Between this and Secret War, the pacing is so slow! This book is once each 2 months and Secret War every 3! I must be getting old, I can't remember the events of each book issue to issue.
Uncanny X-Men #448-449 feature Oliver Coipel filling in for Alan Davis. Hopefully this means Davis is working on a #450 extravaganza.
Jubilee gets her own book this month. I think it'll be cancelled by issue #20.
Nightcrawler and Gambit also get their own books this month. Likely, these will outlast Jubilee but Nightcrawler will end first. With Nightcrawler, I like Darick Robertson's art but both the character and Aguirre-Sacasa are not enought to draw me in. As for Gambit, haven't we heard this song before?
Overall, seems like a relatively slow month for Marvel.
On to DC Comics...
The Batman books will be fully engulfed in the War Games crossover. I'll wait for the trades, thank you very much.
Superman/Batman will feature art by Carlos Pacheco. The first few issues of this series was great but then the story got sort of weird where Luthor went nuts and there was the kid Toyman. Thus far I haven't enjoyed the Supergirl story too much, but the parade of great artists is too much to resist on this book.
Ex-Machina had a great first issue, I'll definitely be on board until this series ends. From the first issue, it seems like this will be the type of series that has a finite number of issues in mind.
Read Sleeper: Season Two since if more people read it will be back for a third season!
Hmm... Not too much I'm excited about for DC Comics either. Maybe Sept is a slower month.
